Great for basic writing – ScrivoPro Scrivener Compatible Review

I have been using various versions of Scrivo for writing a novel over the past two years and work in the app every day. It is much easier to customize screen background color & text color/size and offers much more flexibility in this respect than Scrivener which only allows for 3 background screens, none of which are dark enough for my taste. I find this makes a big difference in reducing eye strain, and hence do all of my drafts in Scrivo Pro. I have not had any problems losing documents, in either iCloud or Dropbox (manual sync) and generally like the Scrivo layout for storing documents and creating folders. It serves my purposes anyway. The only recurring issues are small bugs that never seem to go away. Most of then concern the stability of font size, line spacing, and line-break functionality, but they only pop up every now and then and I have found easy fixes for each (by closing and reopening the document or just resetting the style). Were it not for these, I would give it 5 stars because it does what none of the other apps seem to do as well: provide a distraction free writing environment for writing, as opposed to forcing you into markdown mode, with a wide array of screen and text colors to choose from. If you are looking for a simple, flexible app for writing, this might be for you.
