Far too expensive
Downloading this app only to find it’s 100 bucks if I want to use it beyond the trial period? Very frustrating.
Amazing, Flexible and One of the Best Support Teams to Help. Thank you.
I am a writing a novel series and I decided I would give Aeon Timeline 3 a go. I have used Aeon Two before for other projects, but for a novel.
This app is not for actually writing a novel rather it is for creating the entire framework. Previously I used a number of applications to craft worldviews, characters (profiles, plots, arcs and their all the associated content, relational diagrams), locations and their descriptions, well I could go on. Now I use Aeon Timeline 3 to do all those things and more. Before, I had files every where, now I have just 2 files to look after. My worldview file and my Novel file in Aeon Timeline 3. Life is so much easier, and more time to write instead of looking for stuff all over.
I use Scrivener to write my events / scenes and that won’t change in the foreseeable future. The other fantastic feature is the synchronisation with Scrivener. I can work in either application and synchronise my novel. Best part for me was being able to take all my information in Aeon Time 3 and have it synchronise to Scrivener, so that information was at hand when writing scenes. I love it. Another positive was support documentation and then the customer service which is exceptional. I use it all the time to ask how to do things and to share experience. They won’t to know. Thank you Aeon Timeline 3 for making life easier and thank you to the staff for being so helpful.

this does exactly what i want in a timeline
my make or breaks:
works on mobile- this runs perfect on my ipad and has no problems with the aspect ratio
horizontal timeline- it’s stupid but i can’t explain how many other timelines are vertical and my brain just does not work that way
tags and color markers- i have like 4 stories in the same universe that i want to be able to plan out together due to having some crossover but be able to visually separate them because they are still different stories
the ability to zoom in and out on the timeline- sometimes i want to see every thing and sometimes i like focusing on a specific period of time depending on what i’m doing
some other qol features i like are, the ability to select a character and see what events they’re in, spreadsheet view, character groups, and story arcs.

Good but…
First of all…I LOVE the Mac app, its amazing. The phone app pairs well with it and I love that it syncs between them.
However, the phone app is glitchy a lot of the time. Most common issue is that every time I try to scroll to the bottom of a page or list I can’t tap the bottom option. Its very annoying. Also, if you tilt your phone to the side it will send you back to another menu and you will lose whatever you were working on.

crippled app
The description for this app is deceptive. There is NO option to export data in any way from the iOS app. So on the go, you won’t be able to share anything. The file icon inexplicably drops you into the Files app with no way to get back to the app. The logic of this is baffling.
