Great little app that has helped me maintain continued access to YWriter during a break between desktop devices. There aren't many program developers who keep an app up to date, so I greatly appreciate the option here. This might even end up being my preferred YWriter! Love your work!

I learned about the snowflake method and found the PC software years ago. I use other apps/software but this method works for my ADHD. So I’m glad its finally in the App Store. Its simple, organized and can export into any format to be published. It’s a perfect simple app for writing, if you use this method.

You have to create a new project and port in the info if your file is from 5 or less to get a 7 file to use with this app and it’s not as easy as a save file as. Also Dropbox doesn’t like to delete the lock file well which causes problems with going from app to computer. OneDrive compatibility would be nice as an option.

第一，容易闪退 第二，无法存储文件，如果是自动保存，那也应该有个文件装着吧！我找了一晚上，试了很久，也没找到，查了必应知乎，上面只有pc端的使用方法，没有ios端的。 第三，请问一下开发者，iOS端的ywriter如何使用！我不想浪费花的钱，还是想使用这个软件的！

I had used the desktop version for years and loved it, it was easy to use, intuitive and worked like a dream....this version for iPad I can’t even figure out how to beginning writing anything other than a description. The joy of yWriter desktop version was the ease of use. I wrote a whole book using the desktop version. This iPad version....I am gonna have to stick with using Pages because I just cannot figure yWriter out.

Personally, as someone who writes a lot on the go and enjoys the efficient design and features of the desktop app, I get my money’s worth of the iOS version. Sure, its design and extra features are limited in comparison to the desktop version, but if you like being able to use the main features (scene+chapter creation, characters and other story elements, notes, and outlines and such) and alternating between your phone and the computer, then you shouldn’t be too bothered by the difference. I’ve already used it more than I’ve used the computer version, but I’m an avid phone writer. PROS: - Functional. - Keeps main features from desktop version. - Transferable between phone and computer. - Simple and straightforward (albeit somewhat undefined) layout, keeps your work the focus. CONS: - Crashes occasionally, so save your work often. This is IMPORTANT. - Not as extensive and customizable as the desktop version. - Due to the limited space in design, some of the aspects of the user-interface are not immediately clear until you test things out. It just takes getting used to, and I’m not entirely used to it yet. (I’ve used the app maybe 10 times total.) Overall, if you use the desktop app and want to be able to use it on the go, but don’t care so much about user interface or extra features, then this app is for you.

This is the misleading and deletes your work. Further, it does not work in the manner indicated. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

I’ve spent 23.99 (in my country’s currency) and I’m disappointed. I’m sitting in front of my PC trying to figure out why the text isn’t updating on my phone and the other way around. I’m tired and I wish I could get my money back.

I am using the desktop version since a couple of years now and haven't found anything close that's organising my writing better! and now having that synced to my phone so I can look something up wherever I am and scribble a new draft or edit a page is exactly what I was missing! Worth the money.
