The Hanx Writer, an app that gives the user the feeling of typing on a typewriter, developed by actor Tom Hanks is at number 1 Apple Store.
The actor loves typewriters and new technology and has decided to combine his two great loves into an iPad app.
"Melodic" keys on the touch screen
Hanks has stated that he was inspired by the fascinating experience of typing on a typewriter, the click and the characteristic "ding" that the typewriter makes when it reaches the end of its run lines.
The app was blown up and Tom Hanks admitted in his message at Twitter -from his home in Antiparos where summers passes- that the sound made by the typewriter, the "bang-bang, clax clack, fur cocktail"- as he said - is like music in some ears.
The app comes in three versions, has a rating of 4,5 and many users they find the experience of writing on something that conjures up a typewriter satisfying.
