What's New in Authora

1.0.10

October 23, 2026

Premium now costs less: $2.99 a month or $29.99 a year, with prices in other currencies lowered to match. If you already subscribe, your next renewal is at the new price. Nothing to do. Also new: - PDF and EPUB exports now work for books in Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Hebrew, Greek, Russian, Ukrainian and every accented alphabet, from Polish to Vietnamese. Right-to-left books read right to left, and files are named after your book. - Rename front and back matter (Preface, Dedication and the rest): press and hold, then Rename. - My Books reopens a book where you left off, and reads Arabic and Hebrew right to left. - Cloud Sync starts the moment you subscribe. - A gentle reminder, now and then, when a book only lives on this device. - Backup files now include your storyboard, notes, cover and figures. - The free storyboard has the same limits in every format: 5 characters and 5 plot arcs per book (up from 3), and 10 entries in each of the other tabs. Everything you've already added stays. - Authora asks for speech recognition the first time you tap the mic, not when you open a chapter, and says why if dictation stops. - Sharing and Save to Files work on iPad and Mac. - The Dark theme setting is remembered. - Fixes to the User Guide.

BEST WRITING APP EVER

I love writing so much and I was trying to find an app to practice. I’m young and I didn’t want to pay for anything but I also wanted a good app. I found my place. I love that even without paying you still have most of the features unlike other writing apps I tried. love it!

A Fantabulous Tool for Doctors, Researchers, and Innovators

I am the crazy mad scientist, shaping the future of dental implant surgery. I specialize in reconstructive surgery and I use AR surgical optics all day every day

Authora is my right hand, literally. I moved 24/7 between surgeries and research and podcasts and meetings. Without this digital writing assistant, I would not be able to keep up with my massive amount of data, research, and thoughts that run through my head at a constant clip.

Everyone needs this get it. Try it now!

Thank you for your review! It's amazing to hear Authora used in such innovative and creative ways beyond our own imagination, keep up the great work and happy writing!

Great app for me as a beginner writer.

I have been wanting to try my hand at becoming a better writer. This app was great to help me stay organized and on track with my ideas. The storyboarding features were actually way more helpful than I thought they’d be. Overall very happy with the app, and I would recommend this app to anyone looking to get into writing or to improve your existing writing skills.
