Ratings and reviews

Doesn't live up to the hype. Cloud-based (great for those who've lost whole novels to crashed hard drives), but won't reliably sync, & reverts randomly, which I may not have noticed if not for an eidetic memory. I've had to retrieve more segments than not, which is ALARMING. No manual button to force it to save (which is ABSURD). Contacted support, they just suggested DLing backups. If it were free I'd understand, but paying $145/yr to lose my work w/o recourse? UNACCEPTABLE. Back to Scrivener.

I love this new app! It's a great on-the-go writing companion for when inspiration randomly hits. It fixes all the issues of the previous one. No lag. Auto indent works. There is now a full navigation panel available when swiping from the right edge of the screen that looks just like the desktop navigation panel. The view is simple when you are drafting, just the manuscript and keyboard, so no distractions or other things to accidentally bump. I recommend using desktop app for serious drafting.

Great app. Only complaint is the boards are a little too responsive and tend to slide all over the place on my phone. Easy fix: I just wait until I am home to use the boards on my desktop. I have the app on both my phone and my tablet. I wish it would flip to a landscape presentation on the tablet, but it insists on staying vertical. Not a deal breaker.
