A Fantastic App for All Writers

This is app is great for use with everything! This is the best app I have ever used for writing my novels, and it helps me with my outlining. The story sheets are amazingly helpful. My only gripe is the lack of being unable to sync with iCloud Drive. Here's hoping that comes with a future update! I hope Storyist 3 comes to iOS soon!
Maybe It's Just Me....

When I bought this app for iPad, one of the key selling points is that I could use it across multiple devices (iPad, iPhone, Mac). What they don't tell you, is that the app for Mac is an additional 59.99. For me that's a huge piece of the puzzle to leave out. I now feel stuck in that if I want to use the app like I want, I have to invest another $60. Maybe they should have added 'some assembly required' in the description.
Problem
Deadwood007
Loved it at first. But soon after I got it I noticed that I can't scroll down to read what I've written on my phone version of the app. It keeps popping back up to the top of the screen. The cursor will move below visibility at the bottom of the screen and keep typing but I can't see what I'm typing. When I use my finger to scroll down and see it automatically bounces back to the top of the page. This problem has been on two different phones on both my iPhone 5 and iPhone 6. So I spent all that money and can no longer use my phone to write more than a paragraph. If this app worked on those very simple functions it would be worth rating it higher but I need to be able to see what I am writing or what's the point haha. Very disappointed in that aspect. Hope They either fix it or Apple grants me a refund.
BEST UPDATE EVER!

I just want to thank the developers for this last update, specifically the automatic syncing! I have long since had the app on both my iPad and my iPhone, but I would always hesitate and talk myself out of writing on my phone for fear that I had not synced when last I wrote on the pad. With this latest update that fear is GONE and my writing time has doubled as I can write fearlessly anywhere and anytime. THANK YOU!!
Excellent iCloud integration

I switched from Scrivener to Storyist because of Storyist's IOS support and it's excellent iCloud integration. I can work on the same file on my iPhone 6+, my iPad and of course my Mac. You need version 3.0 or better on both Mac and IOS to do that, but it works great. I often start writing on my Mac in the morning, then move to my iPhone while traveling to work, and then on iPad while eating lunch, then back to my work Mac, then to iPhone going home, back to my home Mac. ICloud keeps it all sync'd and functionality between Mac and IOS devices is good enough that I never feel handicapped (other than the limited keyboard on IOS). Revisions and reviewing and tweaking are easy on IOS, even if that's not the place to bang out a thousand new words. The key is I can take advantage of small slices of time to work anywhere now. That's awesome.
This is what I've been waiting for!

This app is exactly what I have been waiting for for my iPad. I love writing on my iPad, it's so easy to keep with me at all times when I need to write and this app makes organizing my writing so much easier! It's still missing some much needed features like word counts, but hopefully the developers will address this soon. It would also be nice to be able to export into Word and keep automatic sync with the Mac version of this software, but in the mean time this is about as close to scrivener as you can find in the iPad! Great job guys! UPDATED: iCloud syncing is amazing! Now I can pick up my iPad to edit without missing a beat! Hands down the best software for on-the-go writers who work across multiple devices!
The best software for writers!

I use Storyist every day, on my desktop, iPhone & iPad. No other software for writers does this, as far as I know. It syncs automatically now to the iCloud, which means I can take my iPad with me to lunch and keep writing on the run. It’s perfect for my needs. I wish that Apple would list it in the “Apps for Writers” section of the app store. I give it a full thumbs up.
OK for basic writing

Main irritation is that the word count is not easily accessible like the mac version is, needs to be visible in some format in the outline view. And a total wordcount at the to as well. I did the demo on the mac, so maybe that's my problem. The interface seems a little more jumbled. I'm going to try it just on the iPad for a bit, which is more mobile and with me all the time. Kind of irritating that I had to pay for it to even try it out. I'll force myself to use it, but may switch to scrivener when that comes out if the interface doesn't become more like the mac os version.
