Storyist 4

Ho usato Scrivener per anni ma il fatto che la sincronizzazione avviene tramite Dropbox mi ha sempre spazientito: risulta lentissima anche quando si aggiorna un file progetto piccolo. Poi ho usato Ulysses ma l’ho sempre trovato brutto per via della predilezione per il markdown (formattare un testo comporta inserire certi tag e non utilizzare gli strumenti tipici quali grassetto/corsivo/etc). Dopo molte ricerche sono approdato a Storyist che, oltre ad un’interfaccia più pulita e ad impostazioni più chiare di Scrivener, SINCRONIZZA I FILE TRAMITE iCLOUD. OTTIMO!!! L’unica cosa che migliorerei è la procedura di salvataggio dei file di backup. La funzione di backup esiste non è questo il problema (è abbastanza nascosta, vi si accede dal menu File/Scegli file, ma esiste). Si può anche salvare una copia di backup manualmente (Choose File > Save a Version). Sarebbe ulteriormente più pratico che l’app salvasse sul cloud e non solo in locale i backup automatici (funzione presente in Scrivener). Questo per maggior sicurezza in caso di problemi. A parte questo piccolo suggerimento, Storyist risulta essere IL MIGLIOR EDITOR E FILE MANAGER DI TESTO PER MAC. È come usare Word con un Finder laterale che mostra tutti i file creati. Questi file verranno salvati su iCloud e sarà semplicissimo spostarli, accorparli ad altri progetti, esportarli. Interfaccia pulita, UN VERO EDITOR DI TESTO, salvataggio su iCloud Drive, velocissimo. E non è certo solo un programma per scrittori: chiunque abbia tantissimi file di testo o scriva molti appunti amerà questo programma e la possibilità di avere la propria biblioteca in un unico luogo anzichè in cartelle sparse qua e là sul computer. APP ESSENZIALE.

Storyist ist eine ganz tolle App zum Schreiben. Sei es die macOS als auch die iOS haben kleine Bugs, dennoch kann man damit gut arbeiten. Eine kleine Einarbeitung ist allerdings notwendig. Links zu Story Sheets funktionieren nicht. :-) Bitte updaten.

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

This is my second review — the first one conveniently disappeared (or never went live). Don’t use this app. I’ve seen time and time again text files within a project disappear. They’re not in the backups either. Screenplay text files. Fiction text files. Hours and hours of work in multiple projects just gone. Tech support can’t (or won’t) help. App updates don’t fix the issue. Read other reviews. I’m not the only one experiencing this problem. Just avoid this app altogether.
