Textkraft Text Processor For iPad 25 Percent Off This Weekend

Infovole’s professional word processor for iPad is on sale at 25% off of the normal price this weekend.

German developer Infovole’s calls TextKraft a “text processor,” which is descriptively accurate, since its feature set brings it up to near word processor levels, but not quite, and that qualification is a good thing, because TexKraft remains light on its feet in true text editor style.

My favorite Textkraft features are a dedicated key with which Upper and lower case and word capitalization can be switched by keystroke, a Forward Delete key, and Dropbox support.

Textkraft’s deep feature set also includes:
• Work on up to 5 documents at once and switch among them with the touch of a button.• work: Resume exactly where you let off
