Storyist 4

Garbage! Purchased version 3. Tried downloading version 4 - asked to pay full price when there should be a discount. Switched to Final Draft.

It wasn’t that easy to use it and I was surprised also I wasn’t able to share the pages to the emails as pdf etc…

You saw the free download button? Well, the app gives you a 14 day free trial and then you're forced to buy a $20+ membership in order to edit the files. If it's supposed to be a writer's app, then the biggest feature should be editing, but editing itself is not free in this writing app. So if you're really looking for a free writing app, this one is not your best choice. But from the other side, the app design itself is working pretty well and I personally like the user interface. So 3 stars for the hard work of developing the app.

Simply awful. Nothing like the photos

I really wanted to like this but the ui is so terrible, it doesn’t seem to connection to Dropbox anymore (if it does, that loops back to ui because it should be readily apparent), it’s not user friendly at all, and worst of all: it deleted my work—all files are just gone. Please, for the love of all things holy, return Storyist 3 or a Storyist 5 that takes after 3. After having had recommended 3 to my writer friends and acquaintances for years, Storyist 4 is a mess and an utter disappointment. Oh, and themes don’t work. All in all, as much as Storyist 3 was the primary reason I continued to buy ipads, Storyist 4 (as it is) is one of the worst wastes of money I ever spent.

I downloaded on Iphone Mini. And it wasn't able to receive my text. Not sure why, but I deleted it for not working.

The facade of being a free app to help others is abhorrent. The fact is that require a 30 dollar purchase to actually use the app and it is the first thing actually displayed. The audacity to do this whilst portraying yourself as a free to use app is disgusting.

It’s a file management system and word processor all in one and it doesn’t require a monthly fee. Been using it for over a year and still love using it over other competitor apps. I’m grateful to the folks who designed this app because it has helped me get further than ever with my writing. I hope it helps you too!

The ui, for the most part looks great…but the app icon looks like clip art from the early 2000s and it, an other weird emoji like icons are stamped over every document in the files app which ruins the experience for me. Less is more. Feature wise, I can get the same experience (with a better interface) from scrivener.

FYI for the developers - Great app, used it for decade+ with no issues. Files stored in iCloud. Running iPadOS 15.6.1 on iPad 8gen. Ver 4.3.2 has caused the index cards to all lose their color, and won't hold color if I re-add/close/reopen. I will report other issues when/if detected. Thanks. UPDATE: This has been fixed with 4.3.3! Thanks for the quick response... Note: I'm now on iPadOS 15.7
