I followed the instructions but I cannot get my Scrivener file to sync. It’s greyed out like its not even an option. The interface is not very user friendly. Also, the AI writing assistant that is advertised as included is actually an extra $1.99 per week which I think is very misleading.
I purchased this app hoping it might assist me in my writing profession but it is a rather complicated and convoluted app. I’m not really certain what the end goal was for the app creators. It definitely has potential but it is rather cryptic without a smooth and easy to follow user experience
I downloaded it to my iPad and iPhone and neither work. $3.50 and nothing. Huge disappointment.
I’ve only ever used this app on my phone before for several years now. It’s okay there. I am just now trying it on my iPad, and the app won’t even open. I get the white screen with the “S” in it for a few seconds, maybe a minute, and then it crashes. On my phone, I’ve never had this issue, but even there I wouldn’t say it’s the best. It’s a bit of a disappointment tbh. There’s got to be better apps out there for iPad/iPhone. Scrivener on the desktop is the best. Still looking for a mobile program…
You can store in RTF and other formats. Brilliant! So sick of being tied into an app. Thanks!
So.. I bought this on a whim hoping that I could use it with my existing Scrivener projects which is says it supports. I got it to eventually sync even though it takes about 10x longer than Scrivener does. But the resulting project structure does not reflect anything close to my project within Scrivener (on the iPad). I’ve got a neat and tidy structure for one of my projects but in this app the layout is not close to what I see in Scrivener for whatever reason. Maybe I’ll check back in a few versions or something.. For now it’s not usable for me. Edit : 2 hours later. I tried this on my iPhone and let the initial sync run for probably a half hour.. it did eventually finish. The structure was initially the same as described above but I synced again and let it finish which probably took closer to 45 seconds and then the structure was fine and worked as I was hoping it would .. it’s got some odd behaviors in the editor that are a little frustrating.. Yes, syncs are slower than scrivener but do seem to work ok. I’ve gone back and forth between the two apps and no issues so far.. Call me happy!
Title says it all. This is exactly like another program but way cheaper. I was on the fence about trying a different, more expensive software and found this. It was a little different, but it worked. Something broke, but updates have since then fixed that issue. I love it!
After reading many of the reviews, it’s apparent that this developer is putting Scrivener in the app’s title to poach people looking for the Scrivener iOS client. I, and it seems that many others in the reviews, fell for this. I found this app to be useless for me, since I was looking for a way to work on my Scrivener projects on my iPad. Scrivener does have an app on the App Store, but this isn’t it.
This is a total ripoff of Scrivener - and not a good one at that. Buy the real thing, not this knock off. It doesn’t tie into or sync with Scrivener at all. They put Scrivener in the title in the App Store just to scam people into buying it thinking it was the pro version of Scrivener.
I’m new to Scrivner, just got a new IPad Pro 4 and trying to get started by uploading from Dropbox . Interfaces don’t look anything like instructional videos. No split screens, no automatic tutorial load. I’m just going round and round uploading dupliciate files. Began writing, then saved and closed, only to find it did not save my draft. I want to like this app. It comes so highly rated. I am beginning to think the glitch is related to not being updated for the latest iPad version?
