Scrivo 3 - Scrivener Companion

Всё запутано. Ничего не. Понять. Зря потратил деньги. Верните деньги!

I first downloaded Scrivo Pro in December 2017. I was looking for a convenient tool for on-the-go writing, one that was hassle-free and easy to navigate, and this app certainly delivered. I’m very picky with my writing experience — I like a certain font, a certain typeface — so you can imagine how happy I was to have found Scrivo. I like how all my drafts are in one place, how compatible it is to mobile phones, and how easy all my items are to organize. Scrivo Pro should be on every writer’s phone; it completely changed up my routine. I like how I can just whip my phone out every time an idea strikes — and I especially like how I can make it all mine, favorite fonts and all. You just don’t get that with other apps. Lately, though, I’ve been having concerns when it comes to downloading new fonts — for some reason, they only register as Times New Roman. You can find them in the font book and everything by name, but you can’t actually use them. I’ve tried all that I can think of — re-downloading the app, deleting the font and installing it again, trying ttf and otf files — but nothing seems to fix it. This has never been a problem before, and I’m sure it’s just a glitch. I adore this app, and the developers, and it would be a lot of help if this were addressed in a future update. Lots of love!

It crashes every time I open my Scrivener project. Total waste of money.

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!
