From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

No longer are writers shackled to their notebook or desk. Nowadays its more likely to be the phone in our pocket or the tablet in our bag.

From apps that help to focus the mind editing, taking you through line by line, to cloud services that mean you can access your work anywhere, we showcase the 10 must-have apps for any budding writer using iOS devices.

Verdict

In terms of mastering writing on the go there's nothing better than Apple's homegrown app, Pages. But for creative exploration, Mindly definitely helps in plotting out characters and their arcs.
