Previous Versions

If you previously purchased iA Writer, you may still be able to download the last version that supports your operating system.

For Mac or iOS licenses, you can always re-download past purchases from the Purchased section of the appropriate App Store. You must be signed in with the same Apple ID in the same country/region as the initial purchase. On Mac, you need to ensure iA Writer is installed on no more than 5 other Macs.

iA Writer for Android

You can access previously purchased/downloaded apps in the Google Play Store by navigating to My apps & games → Library. Please ensure that you are signed in with the same account as was used at time of purchase.
