Better than Before, but not quite there yet

the exporting capabilities are better than the previous version. What I would like to see is the ability to change the fonts, size, color, bold so I can outline using color to label certain questions, goals, possible alternative actions etc.. Once you get that function down on keyboard functionality this will be a 5 Star App

Not pleased with StoryO

The only way to get your project out of StoryO for iOS is to share it with the desktop version of StoryO (for an additional $49), or email it as a text file.

I don’t own the desktop software, and emailing the text file won’t work on my iPhone or my iPad using the current iOS version 12.1.3.

I contacted customer service about this but they haven’t gotten back to me yet.

I hope they come up with a fix, otherwise the app is useless to me. If they cannot get it to work they need to give me my money back, or give me a copy of the desktop version of StoryO.

Has Promise, But I Wouldn't Buy Yet

In the description, the Developer shares it's outlining capabilities. And in the last paragraph, where it mentions 'Sharing files', you see the word 'Robust', implying excellent sharing capabilities... NOT TRUE..

I am impressed with its outline capabilities, but it's sharing ability are disappointing and well below standard. After you bust your butt on a project, the ONLY way to get it out as text is to EMAIL it.

This over priced app will not even give the option to open another file on your IPAD, not any writing app that you may use, not Scrivener, IAWriter, not even Apple Notes.

If this is ever adjusted, I will change this Review to a 5 Star and rewrite it. However, till then, "STAY AWAY" if you have any interest in sharing your outline to another Native app on your Ipad to add pictures and polished writing.

So much promise, BUT...

The app is great. It really is. For a portable/on the go/“not at my desktop but need to work” solution, it does what it’s supposed to...
BUT...
It’s fairly useless without the Desktop version where I spend most of my time working. Until Jungle Software fixes their desktop version to work on High Sierra...this was money ill spent.

It’s a 5 star app EASILY once the desktop software works.

Love It!!!

Just got it tonight and so far I am loving it. Each time I put something down on a sequence card I get a new idea. Thanks I believe this app is going to help me a lot. Still learning how to use it, seems pretty simple and it's very helpful. Especially easy to rearrange cards.
