Ulysses: Writing App

All the time I have problems to acces files after few days of inactivity. It is frustrating to have an ideea that I want to write down an my file is in cloud and downloading, downloading, downloading. Hours.

Inca ma familiarizez cu programul care mi se pare excelent. A crescut prodictivitatea la scris de cand folosesc acest program

I give this a 5* rating, which is a high praise from a UX designer. It is intuitive/easy to use, very organized, user-friendly, the minimalist interface is a pleasure to work with because it has everything you need, and zero clutter. The intro process is also very simple and effortless, so you as the user know exactly what's going on, and the step-by-step guidelines are quick, concise and effective. There are really no cons I can yet point out. You can tell the developers had a laser focus on their target user's needs. Thanks for a great experience for writers.

I like it very much because it is very simple to use, it does not distract you and it's always at hand. It is the best writing tool, the best app I've ever tried.

Ulysses is a great application, it has all the bells and whistles, but it functions are straight forward and clean. Plus, what a great name for an app.

Logged onto Ulysses on a new device and started writing on a sheet. iCloud backup only backed this sheet up and wiped ALL my work on my other devices. Hundreds of hour of priceless writing a I had built up over several months. Support has been useless and unresponsive. Use at your own risk - you might loose every single word you type into this software.

It day one of downloading this app and it lists full days worth of outlining and writing for my book. The work just ceased to exist. No I will not be putting any more trust in this app.

I’ve been using this app for over a year. It’s confusing to use at times and it doesn’t save and backup items like it guarantees. I’ve lost over 13,000 words for two different stories I started and whenever I try to log in to my account it just says downloading but doesn’t show my content. I’m furious as I didn’t have my stories backed up anywhere else because I thought the whole point of paying for the subscription every month was to ensure my work would have been saved I plan to find another app and back up my stories in multiple places thanks for the painfully expensive lesson that’s all this app was good for.

So many features. Easy to use. Make sure to watch tutorials. I wrote a whole book and didnt even use the revision setting haha

I had Ulysses when it first came out and you just bought it straight up and that was it. Then all of a sudden I am notified that I will have to start paying monthly. Even tho there were no in app purchases at first and then you made a separate app that had a monthly sub and abandoned the one I paid for. Now I get back into writing and I actually liked Ulysses, so I paid for the sub. I started back up with some traction and read the tutorials. Then I get into dividing my groups and filters and run into a problem. For some reason if I create something in one filter, but decide I want to move it to another one, 99% of the time it will only let me move it to a folder that I created it in. Even if I totally erase all evidence of it, start a new filter and paste just the body, it automatically gets sent to pending if it’s not the filter I created it in. IDK why in 2024, as long as I’ve known this product. This is a problem. I should be able to easily drag groups in and out of any filter I want to. So I just gave up. I tried everything. Every menu. Then it crashed. So since I’m still within 7 days. If this isn’t fixed I’ll move one to something that might be a little more user friendly. I use to be able to effectively use this app years ago even with the vague instructions, I could figure it out. But not being able to move folders around and crashing is so 1900s. I really am disappointed this app couldn’t even keep up with my work in the 12 hours I’ve been fighting to get it to work. I just. Don’t get it. And now that I think about it. When I really started going thru the app to figure it out. I saw very little change. It felt like I just DLed the same app from like iPhone 6 or something. Just a few additions, but nothing that justifies years of subs with little change.
