Mellel

Продукция Mellel — это стандарт для серьёзной работы с текстами.

.. then go back to the iPad. This app is an unsung hero among all of the ‘big ducks’. All of the other apps have podcasters, blogs and so on fawning over how great they are - well; of course they say this, they are being paid to! Mellel on macOS is so far advanced now that when I took a look at the latest version the other day - I was speechless at the huge strides it’s taken recently. If you can use it on macOS - do! If you are iPad only, then, you may need to have a think about what you want from your word app. If you want bells, whistles & belly dancers then Scrivener is the obvious candidate but, this app’s cool. I think some of the 1 star reviews are quite narrow and at the time they were written, possibly had unrealistic expectations. Also, don’t forget, the developers have had a testing 5-6 years in the real world.

TIP: USE THE MELLEL MAC APP FIRST …put the resulting file in iCloud... THEN USE THIS APP !! — once you’ve been through this above process, how to use both will be resolutely clear. (it is painful to use this noise free iPad environment as it doesn’t have enough obvious controls - I love it, but I needed the LESSON OF USE OF MELLEL from the Mac app first) I’ve written for a long time - and I couldn’t sit back and watch the greatest word processor get missed. It seems a terrible injustice.. so here is why mellel is a topper in my experience : I sat on Mellel for a year..Played with Desktop app.. Played with the iPad app.. Nothing caught the eye. Went back to scrivener, ominoutiliner, word, ulysses … Then a month a go I realised all of this markdown business was problematic because a lot of fiddle was left to do with formatting, when you think you’ve finished the writing. Unfortunately you waste time as you do that fiddle. Oscillate back and forth between markdown and final... Simple blogs okay, but more complex formatting, choose Mellel. No question. A big win to the finish line has to be avoiding formatting when you get home for the day! To illustrate that feeling of control over the destiny of your writing piece - consider scrivener is great and you can do what you want, but there’s all that compiling. Whereas mellel goes the extra mile with real time formatting. Through the way the control panel is structured and the way your tweaks can echo through the whole document, you nail those big complex documents in a jiffy, and don’t get distracted because of search and outline features. I’m SO happy I decided to use mellel for longer !!! To add to this Mellel has tags that appear in the outline. Yesterday I through 500 pages of content. I copied and pasted from omnioutliner. Quickly through adding outline structure, I was able to get that mellel document navigable. Find sections. See the whole thing on the iPad. Basically mellel took me where I wanted to go. Allowed me to focus and add to what I got. And allowed visibility of the final complex 2 column document! All I would say is -spend time with mellel on the desktop to understand the functions -Familiarise with what is actually does. -Write some of your best copy. -Then for the finale enjoy it on iPad, tweaking bits at your leisure. Overall I definitely feel lighter with Mellel - like driving a sports car exactly where you want to go with precision.

So, two years after I and others said that .docx export was a crucial feature to have, it finally turns up. Are they really supporting this app?? It seems like a part-time hobby for them at the moment. And with the new version, I can't even open a new document. So, it doesn't work. Hence one star.

Downloaded the app after using Mellel for years on my MacBook Air. The app for iPad is no where near the seemless experience of using both on the MAC and iPad. Having to contact support regularly. The most annoying thing so far (and I’m new to the app) is switching between apps and going back to Mellel always at the end of the document! When you are editing docs over 120 pages long this is extremely frustrating. Apparently it is a known fault and will be corrected in the next 2 weeks. Basic things are a maze to figure stuff out in comparison to Mellel for MacBook, I hope my experience gets better. If I didn’t have so many docs on my laptop, I would have just used Pages, but even batch transfer of docs from Mellel to Pages was not a straightforward as it should have been. Any way time will tell. Thus far not happy.

Unfortunately I’m unable to create new documents, Trying old tricks like uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail.

As an avid Mellel + Bookends for Mac user and a longtime user of Bookends for iPad, I thought that adding Mellel to my iPad would be a good idea for editing documents on the go. However, I am not entirely impressed with the execution here. 1. Smart quotes and inverted commas should be the default for fonts that support them! Currently smart quotes can only be achieved through the fiddly symbol (omega) menu. Smart inverted commas do not even exist in the symbol menu and require an annoying keyboard shortcut: option + shift + [ or ]. This needs to get sorted asap. 2. Full screen composition view. I am using this on a 9.7" iPad Pro. The screen is small. I don't need to know the title of my document or to see that thick top bar all the time. This app needs a a full screen mode that removes either (or both) of the annoying toolbars. 3. Some fonts that I have installed on my iPad and that work fine with Scrivener and MS Word for iOS and that I use in my Mellel style set on the Mac will not load in the iOS app. Annoying to say the least. 4. Lack of Dropbox integration. This is not a big deal but shouldn't be a lot to ask. 5. Spell checker does not work and I cannot seem to find a setting to turn it on (works in my other apps as well as in the App Store text editor into which I am inputting this very text). At this point I can only recommend this app if you are not invested in existing custom Mellel styles from the Mac and are only looking for a competent editor. But those customers can already get Pages for free...

This is awesome! I've wished for mellel on iPad for years and now it's here and not by half... It is very full featured. For long documents and academic writing. Multi-language documents. Also available on Mac it provides the best PDF export with proper table of contents etc. Best word processor period.

Very pleased to have this. An excellent editor for the iPad, particularly as an adjunct to the OS X version.

The best word processor by a mile. But ooooohhhh, please Mellel dudes add a conversion to rtf option. With out this I cannot really use Mellel as I am a PCs user.
