Only 3 stars
Ulysses is one of the most polished writing apps on macOS, yet it continues to use absolutely hideous, always-visible Markdown markup and refuses to give users the option to decide for themselves whether they want to see all those formatting symbols or not.
Great App
This is very helpful for pre writing technical papers. Lets you restructure easily before dealing with Latex. Support is very responsive too. And they are churning out new features and export formats.
Feature drift
Used to be great. It has drifted far from its original philosophy.
i want to love this app
i want to love this app - it is very simple. but honestly, the user interface lacks…nothing seems to be in a logical place. despite being so “simple”, the functions appear illogically laid out. i tried to get used to the app - i’ve written now 1 partial manuscript, have 2 other ones, and now a 4th that has the complete draft. i wouldn’t say it’s horrible but just one up from that. the concept is great though. today my struggle is scoping a search to -not a sheet- a group - there is a pulldown menu AND an icon, but the search only scopes to the current sheet - and no - i am not confusing the two…this is basic stuff that should work.

I'm not looking to buy anything
I got Ulysses because it had great reviews and I always struggle to keep writing my books. You would think I would actually be able to use the app once I download it at least some, because you don't have to actually buy the app, but once you download it you can't use it unless you buy it. I'm sure that once you buy it it can be a great help, but I'm not looking to buy anything, you know?
