The wait is over for those who have always bemoaned the lack of a rich text editor for their iPads. Essay is a new application that will stand as the definitive answer to their needs. Obviously, the key to the appeal of this application is the large amount of different gestures which are supported, and which simplify everything to no end. Plus, a special command mode is provided for users to use shortcuts like they would use when sitting on front of their PCs. That is all the more interesting if only because (as you know) iOS in itself offers no access to external keyboards.

And something that is equally praiseworthy is the import and export capabilities that Essay has got. Full synchronization is provided not only with Dropbox but also with iTunes. In practice, this means that users of Essay can send texts as formatted HTMLs, just as easily as if they were using a desktop application.
