I was willing to put up with some issues… but, loss of search? Oh, boy
Just… I don’t even know if any of the devs work on this or what’s happened, but if you’re out there, ios27 has killed the search function. I was willing to overlook and keep fording on through my novel, and moving to another app will be a real problem… but… I don’t think I can do without search. Please, just a tiny update. Something, anything.

Cross-Platform data loss
This app has not been updated for two years and the small problems with modern iPad OS are starting to add up. In addition, the Dropbox sync options between iPad and Desktop use outdated APIs that generate persistent conflicts — in some cases deleting work. The official answer on the forums has been “You have a backup, right?” Which is not acceptable for an application suite that advertises being able to switch between Desktop and iPad. At this point, Scrivener for iPad has be come almost unusable and has resulted in at least one loss of a week’s worth of work. I would consider this application currently UNSUPPORTED until they get a new update out. If you are only working on iPad, there are still issues with missing features (keywords) and limited compile options (the very powerful compilation features of the desktop app are the only reason I have stuck with Scrivener for so long).

機能的に本Scrivenerよりかなり貧弱である
Mac用Scrivenerを10年以上も使っている。いわゆる本（Mac）アプリのサブセットであるiPadOSは機能的にかなり貧弱であるが、使えないことはないのだが…
最も懸念するのはDropBoxとの同期を強いられることだ。
Mac=AppleアプリなのにiCloudと同期出来ないのが使いづらくしている。
Dropboxは無料の2ギガを除いて、有料版は2,000ギガしかなく100-200ギガがない。その上 2,000ギガは高価であるため、iPad本体メモリーに保存しているため、Mac版Scrivenerと同期できない。
解決のためにはiCloudを使いたいのだがサポートされていないため、iOSやiPadOS版も結果的に使いづらくなってしまっている。
他の人も言っているように、DropboxかiCloudかを選択可能にして欲しい。

Highly recommend
I’ve been using this app and its windows desktop counterpart for a couple of years. I love the program but I also love the company. It’s a solid product, they only charge once, and you continue to get their updates. It just feels so honest and I really appreciate that in comparison to the majority of programs out there.
It works beautifully with dropbox, so I can make notes or whole chapters on the go, then sync and pickup on my computer later. If I remember correctly, it did take me a minute to figure out connecting to Dropbox but after it was setup I haven’t had any issues. Just make sure you sync from one program and close it before you open the file on another device.
I love that it isn’t a flashy/loud/ distracting interface with bright colors.
It really feels like a program put together by writers for writers.
Thank you to the team.

Mejorable pero muy buena
Es muy buena, y muchas gracias al desarrollador o desarrolladores. A parte de estructurar el contenido no me ha parecido algo muy innovador. ¿Te imaginas poder añadir personajes por una parte, y que a la hora de escribir se pueda seleccionar una opcion que te permita con cada salto de linea indicar si se trata de un dialogo, sugiriéndote un desplegable con los personajes a modo de prefijo?. Luego hay detalles como la barra de botones inferior (que pertenece al menú izquierdo), debería extenderse solo en la barra lateral, me confunde. Y otro detalle que considero más importante es la integracion con GoogleDrive, no uso DropBox y creo que muchos usamos GoogleDrive…

Add custom background
Love the app please add the custom background option like on desktop version it would be perfect if you had that!!!!
Syncing is still a pain
I truly wish there was more options for syncing beyond Dropbox. Like for iCloud.
Formatting Bug on iOS App
I’ve enjoyed using this app for organizing all of my writing and notes, but for MONTHS I’ve been unable to format anything. I can’t highlight, re-align, change the font, nothing.
Please work on a fix for this.

Gosto do app porém Não consigo usar algumas funções no celular. Simplesmente buga quando eu clico.
E também não consigo usar a mesma assinatura da compra do celular para o computador. Ou seja preciso comprar duas assinaturas. Fora isso é muito útil.
Dropbox issues
It’s impossible to work on different devices due to the Dropbox syncing issue. It shows that it’s up to date while it’s not, so I have to close the app and press “sync” hundreds of times, and sometimes it still doesn’t work.
최고의 앱
PC버전의 기능 중에서 빠진 기능이 많아서, 모바일에선 텍스트 저장하고 분류하는 것만 해라는 설계사상이 보이긴 하지만, 막상 모바일에선 틀린 말도 아니고 여전히 폴더와 라벨, 키워드를 통한 정리와 체계화가 너무 좋아서 그럼에도 최고의 앱임.
長文執筆に便利だがエラー解消とDropBox以外のクラウドと同期させてほしい
Macbookとiphoneでの長文執筆に非常に便利で愛用。章構造の変更を簡単にできる。シナリオ検討段階でテキストの並べ替えは簡単。一部の章の中の各テキストをまとめて出力やpdf化もできる。ただし、一年ほど前からフォントや改行ルール変更がiOS版でエラーが生じるようになっており、そのような変更はmacbookでしかできない。
dgoogledriveやicloudメインにしたいが、dropboxしか自動同期が対応していないのは不満。

Limited Potential
The App has been amazing. Being able to use Scrivener on the go is incredible. Picking up where I left off on multiple devices makes writing convenient beyond measure. Everything syncs quickly, effortlessly and easily. However, there are a few inconsistencies to address. First, some fonts are not shared between mobile and desktop so when syncing, text revert to a shared fonts.
Second, the features on iPhone/iPad are clunky and outdated. Such as changing colors, font, line spacing and layout.
Third, The “mobile” versions are essentially watered down version of the desktop. You lose a lot of features such as viewing your corkboard, viewing multiple folders, and other key features Scrivener has to offer.
Fourth, this has been an ongoing issue for months. I cannot even use the built in app shortcuts! It’s so frustrating I can’t use highlighting, insert, font changes, etc. I’ve reached out multiple times and avenues and been seen and ignored.
I hope the developers are able to make the desktop and mobile versions more alike in sense of having similar functionality, we understand they may not be exactly the same but any update for desktop features would make this rating a Five Star easily. Fix the app issues.
Thank you.

Issue
None of the tools above the keyboard open nor work
Broken
This has been my favourite add to use for writing. Sadly, I can no longer edit the font, add links, or use any of the features that are on the bar attached to the top of the keyboard if they open another window.
Not being able to use those features anymore is really frustrating, and there isn't anything else on the market like this that isn't a subscription or $200+ CAD.
It's been 2 years since it's had an update (at least to iOS) and it DESPERATELY needs one for bug fixes. Would be an easy 4-5 stars with the bugs gone.

Rarely Updated
Update: here we are years later and there is still no updates. So as the OS improves this become more and more buggy. Sync begins to suck and cause issues no matter how certain you are at making sure Dropbox is updated first. They are so frustrating that they care so little about the customers to keep a program without updating it. It should be updated at least once a year at a minimum.
I wrote this years ago and the issue of losing content or errors (even when fully synced) still exists. Good software companies should update their software at least a few times a year to both squash bugs and add new features. It’s ridiculous this hasn’t been updated in years.
The biggest issue is that the software is rarely updated, which means bugs linger indefinitely. I’ve stopped writing in it daily because sync problems between the desktop and cloud inevitably cause errors. I’ve lost entire chapters. Now, I only use it to store the most recent version of my work, since relying on it for everyday writing leads to constant conflicts I can’t afford to deal with.
Some sycophants claim the software doesn’t need frequent updates, but that’s simply not true. All software has bugs, and they need to be fixed regularly. This program hasn’t been updated in over a year, and in the past, it’s gone several years without a single update. For one of the most popular writing tools outside of traditional word processors, the lack of care from the developers is unacceptable.

Is It Abandoned? YES, ABANDONED! BOOOOO!
An App rarely out of the Top Ten in the Productivity section of the App Store is earning the developers large money. Therefore, why is none of it being reinvested in keeping the app updated, upgraded and generally looked after? Is this now a metaphorical cash-cow until the herd come home? Sad state of affairs, and the long promised iOS version of the sister app ‘Scapple’ has still not materialised either! Is there actually anyone left at this company, or is this now a run-down asset? Seriously, I’d like to know; if I’m to trust an app with 1000’s of hours of labour, I want to know it’s going to receive some care!

Mac Version Rocks - iOS, not so much
I love the OS X version of Scrivener for writing, projects etc. But the iOS version kinda sucks. Menus are missing/inadequate and it’s not intuitive.
