Ulysses: Writing App for Positive User Reviews

✓ Perfect distraction free writingThank you for this excellent writing tool. One thing that I have struggled with since I first started using Word in 1985 is that I am easilly distracted away from the primary goal, getting something written, by all of the fancy document formatting options. The beauty of Ulysses for me is that I can type away for hours and not worry about formatting at all since that is saved up until the final conversion to PDF phase. I have used other "distraction free" writing tools but it is this final step, the conversion to a formatted document, that makes your product the winner. It would be very useful to include an editor for the styles, or at least point us to a preferred editor that supports preview. That way I could generate a few stylesheets for document types..Daq manVersion: 17.1

✓ Superb for not for meI tried to overlook the way Ulysses hides links but I just couldn't get past it. As Ryan Christoffel wrote of Ulysses on MacStories, "I know of some people who simply cannot use the app, no matter how much other parts of it appeal to them, because they hate having their writing abstracted behind text boxes." I'm one of those people. It's a solid app. Two features that really attracted me: (1) you can manually split, merge, and rearrange your entries with very little friction and (2) you don't need to name them. Everything's extraordinarily smooth, BUT— The handling of Markdown is, shall we say, idiosyncratic, flouting standards. For instance: • Three dashes for a horizontal rule? Nope, gotta be four in Ulysses. • Square bracketed-text as a link only when a parenthesized URL follows? Nope, _anything_ in square brackets gets linkified by Ulysses unless you backslash-escape those suckers. • You like using reference-style links? Sorry. • Since Ulysses lets you add footnotes, you might think of using tables or other such extended Markdown, too. Nope. • You like adding HTML markup here and there? Forget it — never mind that it's a core element of Markdown. In the end I kept using BBEdit and 1Writer instead. But if the things I've mentioned won't bother you, GET THE APP AND PAY THE PEOPLE FOR IT. They've earned it..ZipTurtleVersion: 16.1

✓ Good but not excellentThis app does not write clean Markdown – in an effort to escape certain characters it riddles the text with characters I didn't write. And sometimes it entirely removes stuff when I'm syncing with colleagues on Dropbox. You'll be fine if you're just using it on your own and storing everything in iCloud..MickersVersion: 15.2

✓ Great for productivityFeels modern (complexity hidden, simple interface, powerful underneath) with the features I need from Scrivener, without the mess and complexity, and the ease-of-use I need from Bear, but with the extra power I need for organising large documents and publishing to the web. Syncing works well between MacBook, iMac, iPhone and iPad (yikes, maybe I am an Apple fanboy). I write everything I possibly can in Ulysses - when I have to go back to Word or Google docs I miss it. I have an educational licence and the price is fair..BoardGameGuyVersion: 19.2

✓ Keeping it as simple as possibleI am grateful the Ulysses team for, while developing features and improvements, keeping them quietly beneath the beautifully smooth surface of an impeccable user expereince. Ulysses is a place for writing and nothing else happens there. Occasional sync issues between devices have been frustrating, and an interruption of membership was fraught, but resolved via twitterby a friendly team within 24 hours..DavidpainterVersion: 29.4

✓ Good writing experienceNeeds: More options for dictionaries (IE) Canadian spelling, "Ignore All" option for misspellings, more flexible export options..JulesCurtisVersion: 29.4

✓ My Ulysses Review by Derek DentonUlysses has many useful features, for sure. The use of iCloud to permit links with my other Macs is impressive. However, I find some instability when I am typing away. Text suddenly appears in the wrong place too often for comfort. That is irksome. I am prepaired, however, to blame myself sometimes, and perhaps my keypad is at fault; but my Macbook Air is only twelve months old. So, in order to be fair, the jury is still out. I want to like my Ulysses more than I do just now..DerekdentVersion: 27.2

✓ SeamlessI really enjoy the seamless way that it connects across a number of devices. It enables you to capture those extra thoughts or add to an existing article at a time and place that suits you, with the updates happening across all your devices. Recommended.SeapaddlerVersion: 24.5

✓ A year in and pleased to renewI've switched almost all my writing to Ulysses and am delighted with the App. It's fast, focused and friendly. The new 'Projects' feature looks promising but I'd prefer it not to be tied to iCloud syncing. The ability to locate projects in other folders would help those of us using or needing other backup strategies. The only feature I miss (or would like to see) is the ability to create custom Markdown codes; for example to allow the creation of super- or sub-scripts. If I use .ulxz format Markdown (which has other benefits) I don't appear to be able to embed HTML so have to post-process my HTML output with custom scripts to embed the desired HTML. This isn't onerous, but there's room for improvement and hence 4/5 stars. It's fianlly worth noting that the few times I've had to contact Ulysses they have been very responsive and quick. Recommended..Where the Fugawi?Version: 29.1

✓ SimplicitéS’organiser sans complication, voilà ce que permet Ulysse. Agréable et attrayante cette application facilite l’écriture et nous permet, sans nous perdre, de progresser avec des objectifs préétablis. Ce qui encourage la persistance et à terme l’aboutissement des travaux..QuidjyVersion: 21.3

✓ Luke Bernard EatonHi, I just want to leave a oomment as a way to disclose my utmost satisfaction with the Ulysses application. It has made working on a modern book possible for myself and for that I will be forever grateful - and I hope that moving into the future the application can further integrate new design features without losing the functional simplicity which makes it so great to write with. A truly empowering modern tool for the working writer living in the twenty-first century. Many thanks, Luke Bernard Eaton Hobart, Tasmania.Lukebernardeaton88Version: 14.3

✓ So much potentialGreat writing application, across all platforms (I actually use the iPad version most). Very powerful, syncs well. I do feel this has a steep learning curve if your want to get the most out of it (as do others, such as Scrivener), especially with document management and ordered pages to fit your own individual and unique requirements, plus finding and tweaking the best themes and output formats. It's hard work, but I believe it will be worth it soon. I think more guides, tips and best practice examples are needed. And I have no problems with the subscription model - I look forward to even better things..GadaboutsVersion: 16.1

✓ Fantastic for news writingI love this app as it has made my working life SO much easier. Writing news articles on here is a dream thanks to the effortless linking and footnotes. Really cannot recommend enough..Coral-AnneVersion: 19.2

✓ The Only Writing App I UseThe most clear way I can express Ulysses is this: it's an indispensable tool that I use every day. I'm currently writing a book, and frequently write articles, podcast episodes, emails, and other web and businessy things. Everything I write starts in Ulysses. Reasons I love it: * Cloud syncing to iCloud is flawless * Fantastic export options * The minimal interfact has plenty of hidden features, and the Markdown rendering is fantastic * It exports directly to WP and Medium (though I've moved my site to Squarespace, which can translate both Markdown and Rich Text exports from Ulysses without any additional formatting) * The organization of text snippets, notes, chapters, etc. is first class * Dark mode... There are a few features I wish they'd add though. Here's my short list of cons: * Tagging could be better implemented, preferably with hashtags within documents * Linking between docs with an @ mention would be quite useful * Some mechanism for collaboration would be fantastic * Export to Google Docs for editing and collaboration help please; exporting rich text into Google Docs renders a poorly formatted text, which may be a limitation of Google Docs, but come on Ulysses team...ubiquity, ya know? --- Overall I absolutely love this app and highly recommend it. If you're serious about writing, and especially if you frequently publish to email or the web, this is your app. Look no further..Law4Version: 16.1

✓ Keeps writing simple and organisedI've been using Ulysses for two years now, and it's my favourite platform for all my writing. It's so easy to keep everything organised, the interface is clean and intuitive, keeping it distraction-free for the best writing conditions. It's super easy to export your writing as well. I write across two laptops so their cloud feature is great for me as well. Love this app, and there's always new updates and features that just enhance the experience :).Pedro BezelgaVersion: 26

✓ Truly love this appI have tried just about every markdown editor on the market for some period of time, and Ulysses wins by a landslide. To elaborate; Ulysses allows me to write posts in markdown and export/upload directly to Ghost, it has numerous configurable focus modes that I use often, fantastic tagging and organization, provides helpful data and feedback, and is great at just getting out of the way when I am writing. The company is focussed on building features and design that its users (re: not every writer out there) actually want, and it shows. If I had to pick nits, I'd say that device syncing has, for a while, been a bit slow for me, but that's more of an annoyance than a long-term problem. As a writer and a designer myself, I find this app invaluable. Its an archetype for every other app out there, and I'll gladly pay a subscription to support developers who are making software like this..SashagoldsVersion: 21.1

✓ Keyboard shortcuts please!Ulysses does a very decent job of "getting out of the way" of my creative process and allowing me to write and annotate as needed. The actual writing is a joy, I just really really wish the annotation and editing experience was more thoughtful. Specificaly: - keyboard shortcuts for adding annotations (striking out a passage) are tortuous to find and implement. - In review mode, there is no way to easily select and act on an annotation. Attempting to remove a "deleted" passage of text can easily turn into removing what you want to save, if you aren't careful becuase of how the annotations are placed. - There is no option to "select all" of a certain kind of annotation. These are not minor complaints, and would really improve the reliability of this writing tool. A minor issue is that if you select a page that is glued to another - you can see the pages stats if you click the stats icon in the page list, but not in the right hand stats bar. This is a bit confusing. Over all I really love this app and am glad for the recent improvements in statistics (not counting annotations in word counts etc). I just really need keyboard shortcuts, and the ability to take actions on annotations..-My annotations are meltingVersion: 23.1

✓ Keep reaching for itI have bought many apps that promise to make my work life more productive, prettier, and happier...and some do for a while, but then without even noticing I start reaching for the old faithfuls again, because they're fast. Ulysses has become one of those old faithfuls for drafting reports, proposals, any text of significant length. It gets out of the way when you just want to get words down on a page..RB567Version: 21.4

✓ This app is really good, however...I'm really enjoying this app, however I would really like it if the option to make text bold, italic etc. doesn't have to involve markup. I'm not really exporting any of the notes so the tags are slightly annoying and ruin the flow of the text..Dog ShineVersion: 22

✓ Pricey, but the Most Flexible Workflow for Long Form WritersI resisted Ulysses for a long time. I paid for the original app before it went to subscription. But a few months later it changed models. I refused to subscribe to it out of principle, because I didn't (and still don't for the most part) appreciate the general move towards subscription servies with writing and productivity apps. It's just another way to monetize time and take more money out of people's pockets, while also putting more pressure on them to be more productive with their time. Etc. I understand all this, yet I tried a number of other platforms (besides the 'big two word processors' Word and Pages) and these other smaller platforms were either too busy and distracting or not flexible enough to suit my needs as a long form writer. There was one in particular that I loved, but won't mention here since it's a competitor, but I eventually folded and subscribed to Ulysses because I need the ability to create documents of any size, and then be able to drag and drop or experiment with their order. That's crucial for long form writing in my experience. So I'm now subscribed to Ulysses and even though I kind of hate the subscription model, as a professional I do use it enough to justify the money I pay per month. Even when I'm not working, I love playing with the gorgeous Themes..1980SkepticVersion: 14.4

✓ The BestI write blog posts and web pages for a living as well as dabbling in creative writing. I've tried numerous writing and note taking apps and this is by far the best I've come across. Does everything it says on the tin. Take the time to get to know it and it will be a loved tool of the trade..ReadhamVersion: 18.5

✓ I’m in love with this writing app (update)Finally, a program where I can keep my academic writing drafts and reading notes in a single uncluttered, easy-to-use environment. I love the simple markdown commands, which keep me writing without constantly having to stop to mouse over to a toolbar or open a menu window. I encountered only one problem in my initial use of the program, which was that my block quotes kept appearing center-justified and in italics after export (this is not a typical format in publications in my humanities discipline). When I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to get the quotes to come out in normal font style and left-justified, I wrote to customer support for help. Within 24 hours I received clear instructions for solving the problem by changing the style sheet, and now I know how to change other formatting issues in the style sheet should they arise. ***UPDATE: I've been using the app now for a couple of years and although I'm not making any particularly high-tech use of it (I don't blog or otherwise publish online using my own markup), but it continues to serve my academic needs extremely well. It's a keeper!.Chicagoland-ipaduserVersion: 25

✓ Great App, worth the money!It does as advertised. It's lovely to have an app built around creative writing, that is totally immersive and encourages you to just get those words on the page. I like the concept of fiddling about with font and formatting afterwards as well, it really removes any barriers of distraction for creativity. I would definitely recommend it for any writers out there and it is absolutely worth the money. Great app. Great work. Keep it up!.13579TRVersion: 21

✓ GreatSuper worth it, and their support team responds super quickly..BN750Version: 30.1

✓ Loving itI have been using this program for over two years now. As an author, I love the simplicity of the interface. I open the program and start writing, no messing around with too many "in your face" extras. Yet, this is powerful, allowing me to tag, drag and drop chapters and sections of my novels, add attached notes, and export beautiful epub3 documents that I can upload to a variety of vendors. (you can export to other common formats too, like docx, pdf, etc) The auto backup works flawlessly in the background, so I can revert to previous versions. The other bonus is that I can share on any of my devices that are signed into the cloud, which means writing anywhere. Offline too..LovemebooksVersion: 21.4

✓ Missing only one thing from ScrivenerThe only reason I tried Ulysses a couple years ago (can't remember how long) was because Scrivener kept delaying it's ios version. Anyway I quickly came to love markdown, but I missed scrivener's ability to move "scrivenings" from one position to another. That is a huge thing for someone who can't stick to an outline but creates as he goes. The ability to quickly slot a thought from one position to another greatly facilitates how i write. If Ulysses can match this in a future upate it would make the app closer to five stars for me. Hopefully you'll not only be able to see the outine but be able to use the outline view to move headers and their contents (like Scrivener's scrivernings) from one position to another, higher or lower in the flow..PeterAnthonyVersion: 23.4

✓ Great for short stories/reports, books not so muchTerrific app that works great for writing short fiction and also reports and papers of various types. Less useful for structuring much longer fictional narratives in my experience, given the inability to see/find research materials, alternative drafts, metadata with any ease, if at all. But there are other pieces of software better suited to writing novels and the like. For what it is, Ulysses is superb, and provides a highly attractive writing environment to work in..BarkinglemurVersion: 18.4

✓ The best PERIOD....For some reason when the Ullysses app prompted me to write a review. There was already a review preloaded in and I am not sure if I wrote it or not. I was not sure because everhting this review said was dead on. I could have just hit submit and be done with the whole product feedback chore. But... Ullysses acutlly makes me want to write. It makes me want to use my own words. It has this quality that makes me more productive and thoughtful at the same time. It's the WP equvlent of what I imagine a cofortable parir of siippers means to an old person in a cozy house next to a raging fire ala Kincaid painting. I really like Ullyesses and renewing it each year ia an expense I will happily incure..Easy reedVersion: 22.2

✓ Great, focused writing appI'm enjoying using this app. It's versatile and focused. I use it to draft all my schoolwork, then export with tags for referencing and automatically formatting in Word before postng/publishing. Takes a little getting used to, but I'v found it overall very helpful. ONE big caveat, and I hope this gets address by the developers is the export to Word automatically saves in a very odd locations under /var in the filesystem, and unless you "Save as" after you've done the initial export to choose anther location, you run the risk of losing that version of the document. I don't know why these exported documents aren't saved in the User/Library or User/Documents section of the computer. (Documents in iCloud would make the most sense IMHO since this app syncs via iCloud with its iOS counterpart anyway.) It would seem having an easily accessible Exports folder would be a far better implementation. Otherwise, this app has great documentation as well. I was able to find documentation on the export templates, and able to use that to create my own custom Chigaco template that suits my needs for export..TimconradVersion: 21.4

✓ Private and Distraction-free Writing18 months in and Ulysses is still my go-to. It fundamentally changed how I approach my writing. I allow myself to go deeper in my emotions because I know my writings are 100% private unless I share them. That is a big deal! I also love how quickly it syncs in the cloud. I know that any notes I write on a walk on my phone will be on my desktop when I return home. The distraction-free writing is a huge bonus. I am a designer and a writer so I am a sucker for how my writing will look on a website. That often distracts me from the craft of writing. But not with Ulysses! I can focus on writing for the sake of writing because of Markdown. And then when I am ready to think about how it will look on a website, I can still edit in Ulysses. I tried Scrinever for a while. It felt too clunky. And was difficult to switch between devices to write because of syncing issues. At the end of the day, a software will aide you only so far. The craft of writing is something you have to conquer with lots of practice and revision. There are no short cuts to good writing but Ulysses will aide you!.WritingladyVersion: 25

✓ Some UX improvementsOverall good experience. I would like to see the following improvements if possible: 1. When hitting Cmd-Left inside a builet point/ordered list, I want the cursor to go to the right side of the bullet/number instead of all the way to the start of the line. When I have indented lists I don't want to navigate through all those white-spaces before the bullet. 2. If you are inside an ordered-list, say you are in the point #3, you hit enter and you will start a point #4. Now you hit tab wanting to indent, the indented number is still #4 but not #1. This is confusing. Also if you create a new point in between, the points after will not get changed and hence I have to go through them to update the number one by one. Also I really like the functionality of swapping lines by Cmd-Ctrl-Up/Down. But the number doesn't change too. There are actually lots of such kind of confusing behavior on Ordered Lists and I would like to see it improved. 3. The ability to adjust the indent size 4. Ability to scroll pass the bottom line so that if we want to concentrate on the vertical center part of the screen we can do that without constantly staring at the bottom part of the screen..Liby99Version: 16.1

✓ Fantastic Piece of SoftwareI do a lot of writing for my work, I used to have word documents here and there. Ulysses has been a gift and made the whole process easier. Best writing setup on Mac and IOS!.AtrirwinVersion: 22.1

✓ It's the tiny little details that make the differenceYou don't notice how fast you're going in a German car. And you don't realise how productive Ulysses is until you look back over what you have achieved. The way that you can do the majority of your work without touching the mouse alone is joyful. I'm > 11,000 words into writing a technical, non-fiction book. It's a difficult topic to write about because of interdependent ideas. Creating the structure for the book is almost as hard as writing the content. I actually don't know how I would do it without Ulysses. I make heavy use of creating / splitting / joining and moving sheets around at will. It would be horrible to attempt that any other way. The subscription model is the only sane way of running a software business. As a consumer, I want the latest and I want the tools that I rely on to be there for me in the long term. My subscription supports the continual development and I'm very happy to pay..Black SinglespeedVersion: 20.1

✓ Simple to ComplexI'm no writing professional but I love to put together ideas and stories. Sometimes It's a smiple short story of a few hundred words. Other times it's multi-chapter work much more involved, perhaps with photos. There are several applications for me to use, and I've given many a fair try. The top two for me were Scrivener and Ulysses. I used the former to write several lengthy stories but I didn't enjoy the process. Too much for me. Ulysses, on the other hand fits my style and it looks great on my Macbook Pro screen where I do most of my work. Because it syncs so easily (instantly it seems) to iCloud I often find myself doing edits on my iPad and iPhone. So, I love it..BlueRidge ManVersion: 17

✓ Still My Go To Drafting ToolI've been using Ulysses for almost half a decade and it remains my automatic tool for capturing ideas and drafting. It's been 100% reliable. Its instantaneous sych between Mac and iPhone make writing in the moment a breeze. Way smoother than MS OneNote, way more mature than any of the distraction-free writing apps I've tried. They're now gone. Ulysses remains..AdingtonPVersion: 18.7

✓ A well thoughtout and beautiful writing applicationMy go to writing app. A joy to write in. If internal links to sheets existed and images were handled a little better, I would probably would not need to leave the app..UptownBCVersion: 25

✓ Pleased beyond wordsI'm incredibly happy with Ulysses. I use it for writing fiction (which is then sent to Vellum for formatting, because I don't have the patience to create the level of export template I'd need to be happy with a direct Ulysses PDF). I also use it to publish to WordPress and Ghost blogs. I love the cross-device sync (invisible and just works) and cross-device feature parity. The editor is simple, and gets out of my way. On an iPad, I can run two copies side by side and use one side (1/3rd screen) for my notes and the other (2/3rd) for writing. It all works GREAT for me, and I've found the developer to be incredibly quick and responsive to problems as well as suggestions..JeepdonVersion: 23.1

✓ Lacks basic Markdown syntaxI enjoy using Ulysses; it's a beautiful app with well-designed UI elements. It looks and feels very much like a Mac app should, and for this I take my hat off to the team that has brought this app to life and kept it up to date for many years. My gripe with the app is that it has failed me on the most basic thing: you require complicated workarounds to write subscripts and superscripts in Ulysses. SUBCRIPTS and SUPERSCRIPTS. One would *think* that this is table stakes for an app specialising in servicing writers of all kinds, but it seems not. Since I rely heavily on this aspect of writing, I have to knock off two stars from what should otherwsie be a five star rating! PS: their support team is responsive and v professional :-).DominoslaterVersion: 30.1

✓ Makes Running My Podcast and Blog So Easy!!I was recommended to use Ulysses by a fellow youtuber friend and she raved about it. I tried it out and wow, she was so right! I love how easy it is to keep all my writing in one area, very organized, and much faster to organize, use, and find items compared with other document programs. I also love how it syncs with my phone. After I'm done writing a blog post, I'll often have my phone read it to me while driving to see if it sounds right and that I got the right phrasing and explanations. I can also make edits while I'm waiting at the store or picking up my kids. 

I don't think I'll ever use another word processor..JulieSwan19Version: 25

✓ Do yourself a huge favour and try it.I have spent years experimenting with writing tools and never found anything that even comes close to Ulyssus. Scrivener would be a second choice and I can definitely recommend it if you like to see what you get as you go. But Ulyssus is in a different league; a beautifuly designed and engineered piece of software. At every sitting I discover another gem hidden in the matrix. I can’t praise it enough..FloydteeVersion: 20.2

✓ I have tried them all, twiceAs I procrastinate on my writing, I try and retry writing programs, fasely thinking if I find the right one, it will make me successful in my craft... a better writer. Well, Ulysses makes me better. It is a humble and selfless app. It focuses on me, not it. :).SelfishshellfishsellfishVersion: 29.4

✓ Fantastic writing app - game changerThis is a fantastic writing app. I've only been using it for a couple of weeks but it's transformed my writing habbits and turbo charged my output. It's a game changer. I used to use Scrivener but often got bogged down in trivial formatting issues. Ulysses wipes all that away and virtually eliminates distractions. It's become a core part of my creativity and productivity suite..Robert.MelbourneVersion: 26

✓ The bestUlysses is the best writing program I've used, and I've tried them all..H.carrVersion: 23.3

✓ As epic as it's namesakeI love this program. For me its clean design, nested workflows, cross-device reliability, exporting options and easily applied markdown are absolutely spot on. As simple or as complex as it needs to be. It's almost singlehandedly reignited my passion for the writing process..LickofdestroyVersion: 18.7

✓ A brilliant appIt was a game changer for me. The universal library puts everything at your fingertips. I've been using for 4 months and my productivity has increased dramatically. The app is elegant and user friendly. Easily customisable to your preferences. It's like Apple's Notes with heaps of additional features and power. Winning!.Li4thewinyoVersion: 24.5

✓ If a writing app were a flow state...I have been using Ulysses for a couple of years now. I never normally write reviews, but in this case the app is so outstanding that I will make an exception. Before I downloaded Ulysses, I had never really understood the point of anything other than a standard word processor. You are using the same brain and fingers to get your thoughts out of your mind and onto the screen, right? So what difference will using a dedicated app make? Wrong. How or why Ulysses works, I am unable to explain. All I can describe is the experience of using it. I have to do a lot of time-sensitive writing for my work, and this app enables me to get c. 3,000 words down in a little over 2 hours. Exporting into Word and fine-tuning the formatting then functions as a de facto proofreading stage. Completing a task feels more like exiting a kind of flow state than meeting a tight deadline. Not only that, but the quality of my written work has increased noticeably as well. Copying and pasting from other sources (including PDFs) is a breeze. Spelling and grammatical errors have become a rarity. Then there is the functionality. It syncs seamlessly over my devices. I have not once had to worry about losing my work since transferring to Ulysses. It crashes perhaps once per year, and even then, only when I try to run too many apps for my 2018 computer. In short, I cannot recommend this app enough..Peeby33Version: 25

✓ Good for concentrationThe software is very good for deep concentration upon writing. I really like "dark " mode and clean look. I am a researcher and trying to use this software in my workflow. It seems good for making research drafts thanks to Endnote software compatibility. However, I feel that the number of Markdown XL options is a bit limited. For instance, you can still use subscript/superscript numbers, but you need to go to Mac emoji & symbols to do this. When your paste text from word documents or websites, the source formating (e.g. superscripts/subscripts and may be italics/bold) is lost. It is a kind of annoyng. Overall, the better compatibility with Word is desirable and needs further development, while it makes very good job as a plain text editor.VaSiv1Version: 19.2

✓ Great app despite the subscription modelPeople who seem to be very upset about the subscription model are clearly not writing enough to be able to consider the cost worth it. However, if you are a dedicated writer and you like the features (which are multiple, and great), it is a great investment. I’m not rich and I’m not a full-time writer (I have a day job) but I’m glad to be able to support the devs of the app I love. I enjoy using it daily, for its powerful features, intuitive design and simple beauty. I think it’s unfair to downrate the app just because you do not like its business model. If anything, with the subscription plan, there is a free trial (so anyone can try it for free) and you can always stop your subscription if you no longer like and use the app. They also offer student discounts. In contrast to dumping $30 or $50 or $80 on an app that does not allow you to preview it and that you won’t end up using (happened to me a few times). To each their own, and for me this is perfect..InfinitehalVersion: 14.2

✓ A Screenplay Version Of This Please!Ulysses has become one of the most used programs I have. I use it for everything from personal journaling, to brainstorming, to keeping track of my daily workouts... did I say workouts? Yes... Every morning I sit down at the laptop and invent a workout. Then I take my phone, head to the backyard, crank the music, and open the Ulysses on my phone and there's my workout. It's perfect... If I could add one thing to this program, it would be an ability to format it like a screenplay. The setup of the app with mulitple "entries" is so convenient. It would make writing scenes, or ideas for productions, a lot easier to keep track of. I've experimented with the export settings but it doesn't seem to be compatible with any kind of standard format for screenplays..Big DoofusVersion: 20.2

✓ Sync issues — like most “shoebox” appsEditing my previous review (bumping it up to four stars from three)... A couple of weeks ago, I slammed Ulysses for recent iCloud sync issues. Then I did some more research and learned it’s not alone in that regard. Indeed, many if not most so-called “shoebox” or central-library apps — like, to name two very familiar examples, Apple’s own Notes and Photos apps — are prone to them, too. It seems to be the nature of the beast. If you value having all your work together in the same library at all times without having to futz around with individual files and folders, the risks that go with the “shoebox” method are part of the price of admission. So I withdraw that previous complaint. Indeed, if it were not for that method of file storage and the occasional (but sometimes scary) glitches that accompany it, I’d give Ulysses five stars. For most of my work, I prefer the advantages of MultiMarkdown and a more transparent file structure than what Ulysses offers. That said, I still recommend it highly; it’s a great app and a marvelous writing environment in which you’ll spend many hours working happily and productively..BwintxVersion: 15.2

✓ AmazingI use this app for pretty much all my note taking, article writing and work prep. I would be lost without it. I love its ability to split articles up into smaller managable pieces and the ability to export is super-useful..WoolnoirVersion: 14.4

✓ THIS APP HAS PARAGRAPH INDENTATION.I don't know if there's anyone else out there that is horrified by the lack of an ability to indent in almost EVERY OTHER note taking app. When I found Ulysses it saved me from believing we had sunk into the dark ages (BRING BACK TWO SPACES AFTER A PERIOD YOU HEATHENS!). This app has what you need, from GLORIOUS PARAGRAPH INDENTATION, to super cute and importable icons for your projects, and all the way to cross device compatibility. Trifecta!.PiirusVersion: 27.3

✓ Such a useful writing appI’ve really grown into Ulysses. I had the older version for years and would’ve been happy to keep that forever. (I hate subscription apps and refused to pay for this one for the longest time, but recently got SetApp, which includes Ulysses, so at least I’m only paying one service for a lot of apps.) Anyway, the best reasons I use Ulysses: 1. Fast loading 2. No-fuss, striaght-forward interface 3. Simple to get writing basic stuff started and finished without fussing about style (as a designer, I’m always fussing about style) 4. Easy to add Markdown to format docs and add pre-styled output styles 5. Easy to make your own output styles if you’re familiar with CSS 6. Syncs with other devices I want to add the blog upload feature, but I’ve never used it because I can’t keep a blog going to save my life..SaysmooVersion: 23.5

✓ To Good to be trueIf you are a writer, Ulysses is almost too good to be true. Everything is in one place and accessible. It incredible features, but they are presented in a minimalist way that does not make you feel overwhelmed. I love being able to preview text live, being able to turn that preview into an actual document in different formats by simply dragging it to my desktop, and the way that Ulysses renders ebook content. It even handles working with long documents well. I simply break up the chapters into individual sheets that I can view separately or together. I can rearrange the chapters simply by dragging and dropping them. Heck, I even like the icon. Definitely worth the investment..PhriiVersion: 18.5

✓ Dyslexic RevelationIt's great. If you have any kind of processing difficulties or struggle with structuring your work this will really help your enjoyment of writing. I find it impossible to create coursework in a linear stucture and learning how to use this programme has been such a relief. Its so easy to use, Markdown XL is a breese, don't let it put you off. For essays I'd often work on multiple word docs or mindmapping softwares and have to bring them all together later. I'm only sad I've found it just for my last piece of academic writing, it would have made my 9 years in academia so much more enjoyable. I'm excited to use this programme everyday and the app developers are getting a credit in my thesis aknowledgements. I LOVE IT. Try it out. move beyond word and pages, there is so much more writing freedom and focus in a programme like this..Dur6uyu6Version: 28.1

✓ Nearly Perfect Writing ToolAs a novelist and short story writer, I'm enjoying using Ulysses on both my Mac and my iPad. It's biggest strength against any competitors is the seamless iCloud syncing. Other apps are too finicky or have very limited syncing options. With Ulyssees, the writing I do on my Mac just appears on my iPad and vice-versa. I can write and edit virtually anywhere. The otheer feature I think is a strength is that all of your writing is in one container, which you can organize however you want. I like this over having separate files for each project and wondering where that story you worked on three years ago is on your disk. Features that would get it a fifth star would be better planning tools (like a spreadsheet view that showed part of the first line of a sheet, or the first comment, keywords for each sheet, the target word count, and the current word count, with rows that can be rearranged by dragging), an ability to add meta data to a group and include it in the export (for example, author name, word count, story title, and the like for a manuscript suitable for submission to a publisher), and more formatting options in the export styles..John KustersVersion: 21.4

✓ Excellent ProgramFirst time I used Ulysses the desk top version (I prefer over SAS). I use this to write fiction stories and novellas. For simple plots it's a great program. When I build complicated plots I rely on Scriviner or Storyist. My complaint about on-line software is getting access when internet fails, as happened. I could not open the online program but the desktop version I use worked great. For writing its great, makes it simple and easy to format a document. This might sound odd it is not feature heavy like MS Word, Scriviner or similar programs. Easy and simple layout. I wish Ulysses would push out a desktop update in case the on line cannot be accessed. That aside I use it every day..SStomperVersion: 25

✓ Winner by FarI don't say this lightly as I have been testing and trying Ulysses against: DevonThink, KeepIt, Notes, Yojimbo, Bear, OneNote, and Simple note for over a year. Ulysses was tending to win, but with the latest release for inline images, Ulysses is now the stand alone winner. There is no better than this one..LucidboomerVersion: 28

✓ Saved My Lost Book!I'm a fiction author, and I've had Ulysses since 2015. In 2017, my MacBook crashed in a single day, and I was devestated, and totally sick with worry, wondering if my book files were safe. I knew I had the iCloud feature of Ulysses turned on, but I had never put it to the test. Sure enough, after laptop repairs and a new hard drive, I loaded up Ulysses, and all of my files filtered back in, one by one. I was SO relieved. Ulysses is amazing. I love so many of the features, I love having access to everything from my phone or iPad when I'm on the go, and I love the password protect, in case one of my devices gets stolen. All in all, an amazing app, and I'm so greatful for everything you guys do! Keep up the good work!.Annie PaveseVersion: 27.3

✓ New Projects mode is fantasticI am continually delighted by the updates to this application. It never loses its focus and always gets more useful..WotivaVersion: 29

✓ Loving UlyssesI am using Ulysses again after many years. I first used Ulysses when it was a very different kind of an app that ran only on the Mac. Now it runs on the Mac and IOS devices and is very different but it still uses markdown, which is a simple form of markup. I have returned to Ulysses because I'm in the middle of a major writing project and I've found the alternatives popular choices not to be to my taste. I find the markdown to be so very simple to apply and I am sure that I can export from Ulysses with something that will import easily into another app. As an addition to my major writing project I am also finding Ulysses to be great for short articles I write for inclusion on a couple of websites I contribute to. The markdown in Ulysses translates to perfectly legible simple HTML..Fitz BlitzVersion: 27.1

✓ One of TOP appsGreat app for any kind of writing. I use it for blog post, Facebook post, book reviews... This not a note app but you can do all kind of notes too. The oranization system is fantastic. Custom icons, folders and subfolders, tags, good search. Syncing betwen all devices is quick and I never had issues or delays. But the main sales point for me was the export. I think the app have the best and highly customisable export options from all the apps I used before. Also the app is in active developmnent. Every few months a new funcionality has been introduced. My first year with Ulysses almost ends. And I going to stay. The app is no chaeap. But the value is there..FricoManVersion: 29.1

✓ Superb Writing AppI have been looking around for something to replace Pages, and Ulysses ticks all of the boxes. It’s a superb product. My single gripe, is that I’ve yet to find a way of editing a link without deleting it and re-writing..El WombleVersion: 18.7

✓ My Goto App for Major WritingI started using Ulysses about 6 years ago when it was recommended to me since I do so much writing for blogs, trainings, copy... etc. I was just beginning to plot out two books. From the advice of my friend, I started using Ulysses and fell in love with it immediately. I was able to jot down my ideas in the Notes section, add research and images, whatever I needed that I could insert along the way. It's simple writing space can be quickly configured how I like it making my writing experience less complicated. I recommend it to anyone I know who writes regularly..RagvoiceVersion: 25

✓ ImpeccableIf you're looking for simplicity of design and weight of performance, this text editor is simply unsurpassable. From the clarity of its organisation - your entire library folllows you on every device - to the clarity of its presentation, Ulysses is worth eveyr penny of the £35 a year it costs to subscibe. Of course, at that price you'd certainly need to be a dedicated writer, amateur or professional, to make the most of its well considered toolset. But if you're a journalist, authior, aspiring author, blogger - well, you won't go wrong..Syd_StoneVersion: 14.4

✓ Perfection (almost)Ulysses is great. Balances simplicity with power perfectly. It allows me to focus on my writing while providing the functioality and features to easily manage a large manuscript. Only issue is syncing between Mac and iPad with icloud is a bit flakey..ObiTwoKinobeVersion: 27.3

✓ Can lose all filesUlysses has been my writing app for the last 3 or 4 years or so, being an amazing tool to write, but yesterday I lost that 3 or 4 years worth of data for no particular reason. The backup exists, however right-click on a sheet yields no "Restore to iCloud" button despite formal instructions and even previous videos stating so. Lastly, the website support button doesn't allow for proper sending of feedback, and therefore I cannot submit my problem for support. So despite being an amazing app, soured by this bad experience, will rectify this review once these problems are solved..DavidNutellaVersion: 21.3

✓ Focus or Features? You decide.Ullyses is the app for the consumate writer, the writer who obsesses over process and ritual but knows that when the deadline looms, it's time to get to work. It has all the bells and whistles of word processing programs without being a "word processing program." You'll notice Ulysses lacks the spade of distracting options, though it has those in droves. The difference is that it's housed in a modern UX design that can push away all distractions with one button for supremely focused writing. What's more, you can customize the look and feel of your font, background color and paragraph width to create a consistent experience for yourself regardless of what the final product may look like. Put simply, this is the home for my writing. Trust me, having a dedicated desktop app brings the writing home, away from the distracting internet..MarcopolopopVersion: 21.1

✓ Beyond perfectionUlysses has the best customer support ever. Hands down. Besides, it offers the best distraction-free writing experience I’ve ever encountered. I now find it hard to imagine my professional writing workflow without this neat piece of software. From writing my master’s thesis to jotting down the cake recipes my mom taught me, Ulysses has been a pleasant and vital companion for around 6 years. The dark theme is a delight. Yes, I have tried at least a bunch of other distraction-free writing applications, but it’s clear to me that Ulysses is way ahead of the game. What I would love to see in further implementations is the ability of sharing drafts with editors and proofreaders through some sort of online platform, where the content could be read, commented on and edited by non-Ulysses users. Then we would live in a freer world – where exporting our work into MS Word, Google Docs and the like would no longer be necessary..Neh GukVersion: 18.5

✓ Love this applicationI’m currently writing a non-fiction book and in a bachelors proram getting ready for Law School. So I needed an alternative to Microsoft Word and Grammarly to help make my papers look more legit and professional. This is a perfect app. I took a chance on this and began using it wondering if it would be worth the money and it is. The footnote feature is specifically what I was looking for and the heading and automatic formatting. This helps me to make all my book chapters and sections look professional and really clean. If I had one criticism it would be a more in depth explination of the all the features. Maybe I didn’t pay attention long enough during the tutorial - so I’m giving 5 stars because that’s probably what happened - but overall, the interface is easy to use, the layout is awesome, and the product is amazing. I’m a big supporter of independent platforms and getting small businesses off the ground. This is a great and much easier platform to use than Microsoft Word. Glad to be part of the team, guys! Keep putting out god work!.Peyton1849Version: 19.3

✓ HUGE fanTried every writing software out there. But far the best and the least complicated..Jessa.hastingsVersion: 22.2

✓ My "go to" writing appWhether it is a blog post, a set of notes for a novel (yet to be finished!) a couple of non-fiction works I'm developing Ulysses is my go to app - love that I can publish straight to Wordpress; love the choice of PDF or e-pub (plus the range of styles) - best of all is the seamless syncing with my phone. If I'm out and about, just tapping something in to my phone on the app and I know that crucial plot detail, idea or artcle title will be there on my Mac when I'm back at my desk!.AliCampbell_68Version: 23.4

✓ The note taking app I’ve been waiting for!!Finally — the right mix of hierarchal-based note taking, lightweight design, and ease of use. As a past user of Scrivener, Evernote, and OneNote, I have long craved something in between — a simple, bare-bones note taking app that would allow me to stash notes in a hierarchy, so I could easily keep related pieces of research and meeting notes together. OneNote and Evernote come close, but recent releases have changed the ease by which you can create and collapse hierachies, that aspect of their features/design feels at times limited or heavy-handed. Scrivener was a great go-to for awhile because of the support for sliding things around in hierarchy, but honestly I find Ulysses to be simpler and easier to manage the hierarchy. I can see this has some powerful markup/structured authoring features as well, but I’m not currently using those. Just basic note-taking, each project in its own folder (group), and it’s really great for just that!!.Winter ZeroVersion: 15.2

✓ I like itI was stuck in a problem of having too many software programs for writing. Blogging on my site, Scrivener (which is still pretty awesome) a regular journal and then a program that could handle writing projects. I suppose people that write with Word just create a bunch of folders for themselves. Sounds messy. Ulysses lets me have all three of these needs met in one program. And lets me do one thing - write. I don't need to mail merge with 1400 clients a la Word, and I do not need 5000 ways to look at my project a la Scrivener. I like the idea of going in and with a couple remembered codes hack away for an hour or two without letting go of the keys. Also Ulysses has more functionality than a lot of Markdown apps I tried. I couldn't get most of them to even indent the first sentence of a paragraph! A winner of a prgram!.Ben Sira 99Version: 23.1

✓ My best palI love Ulysses. I've written many published books on it. It's a big reason I moved to Apple, and I don't regret it. The updates are frequent, and they don't just favour the iOS versions..HellborntVersion: 16.1

✓ A serious appI am one of the app world's biggest critics. And I'm a professional technology critic. And I love this app. It works. Really well. As in, it helps me to write, instead of being a hindrance. I think because the developers are actually serious about what the app is designed to do. The subscription is reasonable. And it plays nicely with what it needs to in terms of writing and publishing..Andersand75Version: 29.4

✓ Just the BestI have seen and used a great many writing apps. Ulysses is just the best there is, and there is no comparison. It's simple, direct, and uncluttered user intervace makes it a joy to use when writing - writing anything. I use it for papers, poetry, essays, journals and everything else because the filing system is intuitive and easy. Perhaps the best feature is the inter-device operability, which simply means I can dictate an essay while walking the dog and then return to edit. As an English teacher for many years, I would recommend this app to all my students. In fact, I would suggest that secondary schools and colleges adopt the program as a writing foundation. The apps ability to post finished work to social media accounts makes writing real..Rfuller9550Version: 27.3

✓ UlyssessIt just works. Simple. Elegant. Reliable..Australian EveVersion: 25

✓ Unbelievably good...now even betterNo better writing tool for writers out there. New dashboard is great, and the addition of LanguageTool Plus is perfect. Peeps are whining way too much about a few pounds a month for a world class writing environment, which facilitates earning a great deal more than the subscription cost every month. Wonderful support team too, a pleasure to support this small European company..Curtains for moonVersion: 20

✓ The Gold StandardI have used Ulysses for over 7 years and found it to be indispensible. My only reservation is that - particularly of late - the innovation has waned with cute enhancements around the edges coming to overweigh material fixes, significantly. No doubt the enhancements are nice to have however, pinch to zoom, for example would be a material enhancement and one I'd have used repeatedly. Sure, it may require some thinking outside of the box and some heavy lifting in coding - but that is why we pay a subscription and persevere in our loyalty to the Ulysses "project.".BondidiverVersion: 25

✓ Please -- Give an Option to Hide MarkdownThis is a brilliant, beautiful app, and I am not going to punish you with my rating. But please hear me out. There are a great portion of writers attracted to Ulysses because they desire an aesthetically pleasing minimalistic environment *while* writing. For many of those writers, viewing markdown characters at all times is legitimately distracting. Apps like Spaces, Bear, Obsidian, have all proven that markdown can function just as well when hidden. It provides all the same technical functionality as when always visible. And while certain types of writers, like journalists or bloggers or researchers, clearly benefit by always viewing markdown characters because their aim is publishing, and that information is as constantly important as the words themselves, for many creative writers like myself, viewing the coding characters at all time for simple things like bolding and underlining and italicizing and titling is not only unessential, but actively distracting from the creative flow. All I ask is that the Ulysses team can respect my right to choose in this specific regard. What is not a distraction for you is a distracton for me, and users like me. I understand your preferences differ from ours, but please have enough respect for this section of your userbase to give us a toggle to write as Ulysses intends for us to write -- distraction free..Mac VandelayVersion: 29.4

✓ The Writer RebornI'm a professional writer that mosrly writes customer success stories, or, case studies as they're better known. I recenlty bought a MacBook after cheating on Apple with Google. Yes, I used a Chromebook for my writing, When I decided to get a Mac I had a look again for my distraction free writing tools of choice - iAWriter and Byword. Then I found Ulysses. Wow. Initially it was going to be just for my personal writing (I write memoir and short stories mostly). After a week of using it for those purposes, I am now using it for ALL my writing. Just the most incredible tool. The combination of Ulysses and my MacBook Air actually makes me want to writer even more. Well done to everyone involved in bringing this amazing writiing platform to the world..FootballFandomVersion: 20.2

✓ Good but not greatI used Ulysses on and off starting with one of the first versions. Don't remember which and when. I like it for textual information but for the type of writing I do I need the ability to easily build tables and embed mathematical formulae. For these reasons, even if I start writing in Ulysses, I have to move the work to other applications at one point or another. So, given that basic functionality is the same, I just started to use the other ones for part of my writing. But that defeats the purpose of using a single application for managing all my writing needs. Scrivener is good, but it is way to complex for most of what I need, IA Writer is good, so is MultiMarkdown Composer. The one I like the most is a free one - Typora, which offers me most of what I need. I though end up comming back to Ulysses, in the hopes it finally gets the functionality I need and I keep using it for jotting down ideas and notes that do not require math and tables..JofromoVersion: 17.1

✓ One of my favouritesI have been using Ulysses for ≈ 1 year for all of my lecture notes, as well as composition and writing at school and for work. For me, it replaced Bear, which is a great software in its own right, yet a little feature-sparse in comparison. For writing in law school, the footnote feature has been extremely helpful. It would be useful, in my opinion, to add support/integration for Zotero (or other citation managers), similar to the functionality of the Zotero plug-in for Word. This would absolutely knock the footnote/annotation feature out of the park!.Aldawg_21Version: 29.2

✓ Ulysses for writers who are disorganised!I am really loving this app, because finally, I do not 'lose' my work! I have thousands of hours of writing in various places, but because of my neuro-diverse brain, I rarely remember where they are stored. This app is a 'clean slate' and I can find what I've done to date, all in the one space. I have previously struggled with Scrivener - paid for courses in it, and still struggled. Ulysses is what I need to write from hereon in!.PupnapVersion: 29.4

✓ Great ProgramI love this app and totally understand the change to a subscription model. If anything, the subscription makes me more confidant that this app will continue to improve and add new features..Peter RHVersion: 14.3

✓ PerfectI have been looking for this software for twenty five years. I didn't know what it is called. I had started to wonder if it even existed. It does. It's perfect. If what you want is to write, with everything that you need to enable you, and nothing to obstruct you, Ulysses is it.PossiblyB9Version: 26

✓ Great expeirnece, needs table support!Title. Tables would be really handy since I write a lot info-dense articles..剃剃Version: 25

✓ Great, very simple. but a lot to get used to.It's a great app, works wonderfully cross-platform. However, I've had it for probably 6 months now and I still haven't gotten a handle on how the formatting works. I know there are a lot of different ways to use it, but it would be a bit more useful if they provided video tutorials instead of only text. but I'd still recommend it 110% It's seamless, distraction-free, and awesome..WhysinfnutbjsVersion: 27.2

✓ Everything you need for writing.I've had some issues with synching but I'm 99% sure this is an iCloud issue, rather than a Ulysses one as I've also had similar problems with other apps. Thankfully, the Dropbox sync works seamlessly accross all my devices. Ulysses manages ot do that rare thing of being super simple and yet feature packed at the same time. The focus mode is really great and the clean miminal interface is really conducive to getting work done. You have all the export options you need, including quick and easy ways to export directly into Wordpress and Medium. I also love the may you can tag all your pieces and then create smart filters. There are actually a lot of features that I don't even use, but these don't get in the way. I can't imagine I'll ever find anything better, which makes it worth every penny..Lee NewellVersion: 23.1

✓ Still No TablesUlysses is a pretty good editor for markdown but still has limited features compared to other products that are available. For example the FOSS Joplin app is very similar and has far more compatibility with the latest markdown extensions. This is my second try of Ulysses. I will give it another 6-months and see if there are more features added. A pity, I would prefer to use Ulysses for some things ... maybe in the future..MrptwriterVersion: 18.7

✓ Best writing app ever!So streamlined and simple, just allows you to focus on putting words on the page. The export formats are simple, elegant and pretty, and there is an intuitive system for organising your work. The best thing, I think, is the target system which was been amazing at keeping me on track for finishing projects..Kieran1916Version: 20.2

✓ I can't go back to anything elseSuch a brilliant app. I use it for all my writing now, and couldn'y go back to using anything else..DJH-93Version: 30.3

✓ Most comfortable writing toolI've used pretty much every writing and editing tool available over the years, writing fiction, and I really liked several of them, including Scrivener, but I always keep coming back to Ulysses these days. What tilts it over the edge for me are two things: 1) Simple and flexible and doesn't get in my way when I want to write. It just feels good to write with it. Almost a 'vibe' kind of thing. Almost like the old worn paper notebook that I carried everwhere back in the 70's, sketching out my ideas whenever they hit me. It never gets in the way and its always with me. 2) Synchronization is nearly invisible between devices as long as you have decent Internet. I write with whatever tool is closest at hand when I get a thought. I can capture some ideas on my iPhone when out for a walk, refine them on my iPad when I get back to my car while the thoughts are fresh, and then continue to flesh them out on my Macbook once I get back to my home office. The text just appears everywhere. I rarely get a editing conflict message, and only when the Net is bogging down. Even then, the automatic synchronization is usually faster than I can walk from one room to another..JohnamarVersion: 18.7

✓ Good experience but..I really like writing in Ulysses, but after using it for a while now I see what I would like to see changed: 1. It would be great if each sheet had a date assigned. I write a dream journal, with many entries, and sometimes after recording dreams for a few days I write them down, which, if it's not done in date order it makes sorting by date useless. 2. Syncronizing between iphone and mac takes a long time, and after it's done, it doesn't sort my sheets on iphone in the same way as on mac..MadLuke81Version: 19.2

✓ Perfect writing appWhat's new to be said about this app that other writers haven't already said. All I can offer is biographical. I wrote my PhD in Ulysses; over 15 publications in Ulysses; and I am entrusting Ulysses for my first monograph. It is easy to use. It doesn't distract. Syncs smoothyl accross my devices. Perfect..Mikesamuel8Version: 16.1

✓ Perfect writing toolMakes me wish I had more stuff I needed to write....Gerry OrkinVersion: 18.5

✓ Love, but...I adore Ulysses, so very simple to use and smooth and pretty. ALTHOUGH, the subscription payment method pisses me off since it is a programme and not a streaming service, we get no perks for paying every year, which deeply saddens me as I would love to keep it forever, but I cannot afford paying hundreds for such a simple little programme like this in the long run... Also, I would like COLOURS! Please..CasthavianVersion: 18.5

✓ PerfectThe upgrade to Catalina IOS 13 has been a bit rocky but seems to have settled down now. This is simply the best writing app out there and I use it for student handouts, articles, and research papers. For simplicity of design, performance, ease of use Ulysses is simply the best. The fact that everything syncs perfectly via icloud is brilliant. The developers are constantly updating the app and are very quick to reply to issues. Worth everypenny of the subscription. In respect of other reviews, I do not know anyone who use Google Documents (students def do not use it) also Scrivener is not a one time purchase. Everytime there is a major, new version release then exisiting users can buy the latest version at a slight discounted price. I am a scrivener user as well, both apps are excellent in their own right, I happen to prefer this one because it is simply easier to use has a sublime user interface, perfect icloud syncing and more powerful easier to use document search options..Only My Viewpoint !Version: 18.3

✓ Great Storage AbilityI have used Ulysses and Scrivener for years. It is a great program for synchronizing on other devices and storage.I appreciate the recent addition of tables and the limited ability I have to use images and layout. The grammar checkinghas also greatly improved. I used to write in Scivener but have now written my last 4 books on Ulysses. Now I can use Grammarly in Ulysses I can use as I go along. My next hope is for an excellent thesaurus..Denys TVersion: 30

✓ Solid Performance, Still Room For ImprovementUlysses is best for user who don't need formating or full word processing, and will use a secondary piece of software to configure their writing. I am a student, a researcher and a designer. Ulysses is the most beautiful interface offered and will keep you excited about writing digitally with many of the themes you can create. They do not have a way to import your own icons or create your own themes, you can only modify the icons or themes with they have on offer with the parameters they provide. The team has done a tremendous job of creating streamlined tools that group functionality ubiquitously compared to competing applications like Scrivener. I find the outlining portion to be one of the most functional tools because it allows you to use Markdown to index your writing. It's very useful in research and note-taking in particular. One issue is that the application doesn't know what its purpose is regarding pipeline. The plain text editor provides great control over export functions and more function over inputs--most notably markdown. It doesn't offer many basic formatting functions, so students who require formatting will struggle (unless they can program) to use this application if they are looking for an all-in-one solution..WrigglingOstrichEggVersion: 25

✓ Great but missing featuresThe Good: I’ve tried many writing apps, and this is the best so far. The fact that it integrates with Medium and can export to book formats makes it worth the price. The goal feature is fantastic, and when the next version comes out it'll be even better! The text editing itself is excellent. I don't know what it is about other software, but many can't even get that right. Usually, they're filled with bugs of some kind, and the rendering engine fails consistently. I've lost data using Day One, Polymail has window resizing issues, and Grammarly app has a slow electron UI. Not like Ulysses. The reliability is there, and it's perfect. The Bad: Could use some better grammar checking or allow for third-party grammar integrations. Defaulting to macOS grammar tools is not a good look for writing software. More ebook themes would be great to have in the future. There’s like 10 to choose from at the moment and most are geared towards novels. I could imagine a marketplace for more premium versions. Support staff could be friendlier — more down to earth. Pretentious is too strong of a word, but their attitude leans in that direction. Just a warning: now that the payment model is subscription based, customers are no longer locked-in. Remember that one bad experience could push someone to a competitor. You've got a great app here, but that's all it is at the moment. Would love to see it grow into a platform..BeauNouvelleVersion: 12.3

✓ Really goodHad a good experience using it. Recommended, especially with the student discount..SamechosamVersion: 24.4

✓ I love Ulysses nowWhen I first started using Ulyssess around five years ago I found it frustrating. Not only because it was missing a few features I really wanted, but because of its custiomer service. They prompted users to give feedback and then when I'd provide it they would tell me the reasons why they couldn't do it instead of just thanking me for taking the time. So I went back to my other apps and didn't both with it for many years. Then last year I decided to try it again. Low and behold the changes I'd hoped for, better cloud sync and the ability to set goals for chapters and manuscripts with visual progress. The app also had so many great features it was even better than before. The editor, focus mode, improved markup options, and a simple, easy-to-use interface designed to be distraction free. I haven't reached out to their customer service again, but I'm hopeful that this too has improved. Bottom line: You really can't find a better writing app out there that has all the features PLUS reliability..JavaMama38Version: 25

✓ More and more complicated searchEvery new update of this app makes me struggle to use global search, search functionality within a selected folder also very obscure. Something that used to be intuitive and simple is getting more complex and perplexed. it might be in line with more complicated search functionalities of Mac OS, so developer is not really 100 % to blame. But while allowing to create thousands of notes, the app should allow for quick search through this growing database as a priority..Xanadu108Version: 29.4

✓ A superb app well worth the subscriptionI bought Ulysses some years ago, way back in the day. There were some things that didn't quite gel with me, and when it moved to the subscription model I threw my toys out of the pram and flounced away in a huff. My work is changing, though, so I thought I'd give Ulysses another go – and I'm certainly glad I did. Scrivener's fantastic for complex projects such as books, short stories or scripts, but for lots of separate smaller pieces, such as ideas, snippets and blog posts for different platforms, Ulysses excels. Subscriptions allow ongoing development and first-class support. I've found this app inspiring. Highly recommended..MSketchleyVersion: 23.4

✓ Excellent tool for serious writersThis is truly the best tool I have used for professional writing. It has a sleek, inobtrusive interface that has lots of features and also handles a lot of clever things like word counts, targets etc. Can't rate it highly enough. Scrivener is good too but the interface is very clunky..Dingle60Version: 20.2

✓ Perfect for professional content writers. Almost perfect for long-form writers such as novellistsUlysses greatest strength is how easy it makes the hardest part of writing - actually putting words down on screen. The beautiful interface makes it a joy to compose text, and is perfect for writing articles, structured academic or business papers. However, it loses out to others when it comes to getting a clear overview of very complex projects such as novels. This is in part down to the three pane window approach, with groups, sheets and the editor. Super fast and enjoyable for getting stuck into writing. but when you have a very long, complex project, with multiple sheets scrolling way beyond the bottom of the screen, it becomes hard to see the overall picture. Which is totally fine, if that's not what you are after. As I said in my title, it's perfect for projessional or aspiring content writers, bloggers, etc. I use it daily in my job. But I have stopped (for now) using it for my novel drafts. The two use cases are very different and, when it comes to apps, being all things to all people tends to lead to being average at everything. Also, I'm interested in the long-term development and whether there are plans to add any features to enhance its value for novellists. Looking at the new features they have added, it seems as though the developers are focusing on the former use case. TL;DR: it's a perfect app for the core activity of distraction-free writing. But some may find it lacking in organisational, outlining or overview features..FearnjeVersion: 26

✓ CoolLove the app, is a great option for creating 'pieces of writing', but not so much for taking notes. personally, having add, all the formatting options being so scattered isn't viable with my pace of notetaking. overall, great. update: couple months, maybe a year in, still like it. I have figured out a few different ways i like to use it and feel like i'm gettting the most out of it. it's growing on me with my writing practice. still highly recommend stand by the 5/5..Boo738363628Version: 25

✓ Love this app.This is a brilliant app. Its so esay to just focus on the written content once you get going. There is also alot of themes to download. So I dont have to think to hard about layout..Hellow65437658Version: 21.6

✓ Great App!I used this app to write my first book. i liked it so much, I use it to write everhthing now from books to speeches to podcast notes, and my second book..504amandahVersion: 20

✓ UlyssesIts clean and easy to use, I have good success using it over the last year with Medium. It does have a few kinks but with the exception of images getting overwritten when pasting multiple times without closes because it renames them the same DraggableImage1..2 it pretty good. Please fix this bug to get the next star..SimbuandfriendsVersion: 29.1

✓ Simple, elegant, powerfulThe process of capturing and organizing thoughts in a meaningful way is intuitive before being rational. I found Ulysses a very useful tool, simple and powerful, to create elegant prose..Trip to ItacaVersion: 18.5

✓ Apparently I am the only oneSo, I really love everything about this app until Mac OS Mojave was released. I have a 2016 iMac desktop which at 25 billion dollars retail should remain feasibly efficient and functional *eyes Apple over rim of glasses sternly* for at least 5 years if not more, I would assume. Since Mojave, it can take upward of 5 minutes to load Ulysses and this is after several fake-out "Application not Responding" warnings. On both El Capitan and the Sierras Ulysses loaded in about 2 seconds. I've searched at length online for others who may ahve this prolbem but apparently I am the only person ever who experiences it. It's gotten so bad I had to switch writing app which is too bad because in terms of style and functionality I really really really love it..R.J.1982Version: 21.4

✓ The Answer ...All my thoughts, academic and exploratory work in one place... If they raised the price to $175 yearly i would still be loyal....335266 766Version: 27.3

✓ Love this appHaving tried many writers apps, this is the only one I have found where I can view and edit my work on multiple platforms. When you are working on a complex novel with many notes and sections this is paramount. It takes some getting used to the markdown - I find the lack of paragraph indents sometimes confusing, however the ease of use in every other area cancels that out. The fact that I can see everything I've ever written in one place and choose what to work on is also brilliant. Not so keen on the export option - if you're not into markdown and setting it all up before hand then it takes a while to get a manuscript looking how you want it in Word, which sadly is the industry standard for publishers. Also if word count is important when exporting, Word counts punctuation marks with a space either side as a word - worth bearing in mind. On the whole, Ulysses is brilliant. Worth every penny..AliHeadeachVersion: 22

✓ The best writing app out thereThis is by far the best writing app I've ever used, I got it at the start of my time in high school with some itunes gift cards, and used in all four years. Before, I had tons of folders on my desktop to organize my various notes for classes, but with Ulysses' key word feature, I was able to organize a system where I would just open up a new doc, write the title, and it was automatically placed into the folder I needed it to be in. This was incredibly easy for me to use, to stay focussed while in class, and the experience only got better as I learned more of its powerful features and intricacies. I was also easly able to export my essays clearly formatted in MLA format without every having to worry about specific requirements in Microsoft Word or Pages for my teachers to accept my work. The various exportation options are beautiful, simple to use, and pleasing to the eye. This app is a students best friend and I HIGHLY recommend it..Awesome app5364Version: 19

✓ Made me writeIts just a joy to use. When you get your head around it, which doesnt take long as its extremely intuitive, it makes writing enjoyable. You can gather, organise, expand and edit with ease. Worth every penny..JudgeukVersion: 19.1

✓ The Issue with updates that my computer can’t takeAlways liked Ulysses and I’m talking for years. Liked the philosophy of minimal distraction on the program, yet a powerful application underlying that could be utilised as necessary. My beef is about the way the company considers that when it decides to “upgrade” its program to the point your computer is not compatible your only given the option of: Keep paying the subscription fee to stay with the older compatible version OR cope with a throw down of an old old style version! Fair play here would be: I can keep my last usable version as I paid for it, and simply discontinue my subscription. Of course unless there will be further advances that can be utilized with High Sierra OS where then the subscription pricing would be adjusted downwards accordingly. I Believe this review is to the point and in all fairness should elicit a comprise at least for the faithful..Pedro51Version: 21.4

✓ Amazing writing tool!I've tried out a variety of both minimal and full-featured writing tools, but this one hits the sweet spot like no other. It has the flexibility to set up a writing workflow that feels really tight to my creative process, which is what I've been looking for for many years..BooYahXVersion: 16.1

✓ The bestIn additional to my Ulysses subscription, I also subscribe to Bear, Agenda, and Drafts, and commonly use IA Writer and Word, each with distinct use cases. Where Ulysses stands out most is its custimizable writing environment and document organization. Ability to have different colors for different header levels has proven critical for me in being able to quickly recognize my place in long text and see structure at a glance. I use Ulysses for as much of my writing as possible, inluding important or lengthy email. Why the other subscriptions? I find Bear better for notes because of image and attachment handling, especially for notes that I will routinely refer to again. Agenda is best for meeting notes given connection to calendar. Drafts is best for text manipulation and automation, as well as ephemeral text. IA Writer is cross platform. Much of my business work requires Word output. How I wish I had one app that served all these needs, but I'd say Ulysses is the most critical and by far the one I use the most. I wish all of these apps offered table support comparable to Apple Notes, or even Evernote. I'd also like Ulysses to recognize Taskpaper syntax.BenfsmithVersion: 18.3

✓ Keep Returning For Specific ProjectsMy daily driver notes app is different app, but for whole projects I always keep coming back to Ulysses - now with the introduction of the 'Project' tab upgrade it has become the essential workspace away from my daily scrappy notes. Calm. Fluent. Accumplished..5ham6le5Version: 29

✓ Because writers write:Here's a splendid tool that every writer should have, a versatile engine that is devoted to nothing less than prose itself, and while it can do much more, its entire point is as simple as that, becasue as the old saying goes, writers write -- and it's really the only pedigreee any writer needs, because if you're writing, you're a writer, and if you're not, you aren't. Ulysses takes its name from what happens to be my favorite poem, an heroic epic from no less than Tennyson almighty, who like all writers knew the agony of an art that begins with nothing, but by som curious alchemy offers outcomes our world simply could not be without. We writers are as Tennyson penned, "one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield." Quite simply -- in a way that is both simple but not easy, Ulysses (both the app and the epic poem) helps us get there. So download it, then spring for the modest annual, and then get to work and use it every day, because whether you know it or not, the world needs your pen, your poetry, and your prose, and we need them all more than ever before. Five stars, but only becasuse it wont let me give any more..Scolari FamVersion: 22.1

✓ My Writing App of choiceI have written on Ulysses since the early days when the fee for the App was 100 Euros. I liked the old model. The new Ulysses is better. I've written five novels on the new Ulyssyes. Working on my sixth novel. A superb product developed and supported by a first class team..SigeshVersion: 24.5

✓ Best all-purpose writing app for Macs and iOSI've been writing professionally for years, and have tried quite a few writing apps, including Word, Pages, Scrivener. I've also experimented with dozens of text and note apps, but none seems to provide the utility of Ulysses for the ability to collect my drafts, notes, images and other resources on one document. This is especially true for blogging and online publications. When the iPad was first introduced, it took developers several years to create a full-featured iOS version, and moving my work between platforms was a pain. The two now integrate seemlessly and my productivity has doubled. Yes, it helps to master MarkDown language, but it isn't necessary. It also helps that I can customize the MarkDown commands to suit my own needs. The app also provides dozens of templates and interfaces to allow you to find the look you want. While I export the finished drafts to Word or Scrivener for submission to publications, Ulysses streamlines the drafting phase. I'd feel crippled without it..Phillip T. StephensVersion: 30.3

✓ A Little Bit MagicI am in love with this app. It combines the creative spirit of customizing a journal with the functionality of ordered pages. I’ve spent hours today playing with color palettes and customizing shortcuts. I’ve written 5,000 words in the last 2 days because it’s so darn FUN. I love scrolling through my work and admiring how pretty it is. It’s actually a self-esteem boost, because the words could be terrible, but you wouldn’t know by looking at all the pretty colors. I change back and forth between my favorite schemes often to keep the excitement alive. This app has actually made me want to start coding. The magic of a few characters here and there creating color blocks and changing font styles is so impressive to me. But this is kid stuff. This is the stuff real coders wipe off their shoes. What other magic is there in the coding world?.Contrapasso_rmVersion: 18.3

✓ Personalised writing experienceI love this app. I've customised it so it's like a typewriter with that old-style Courier font, with wide margins and lots of white space. It's very easy to just focus on the words. Really sweet!.Roo_mcVersion: 30.1

✓ The go-to writer appIt is difficult to find flaws in the app. Maybe the business model, so hardly criticised. It is expensive,but the devs go out of the way to help owners with support and feedback. As an app, this piece of software is really powerful, yet minimalistic and greatly designed. The question is: can people keep on spending this money when the stop or pause their writing habits? The sync with my iphone is seemless and it is what ultimately brught me back to using Ulysses. The hope is that it will keep me hooked to use it, that the monthly subscription won't wear off as the set of features slow down in their release. Having said that: if you write somewhat daily or weekly, it is a no brainer. If you use it with less regularity, I would probably ask if you think spending this money a month is worth it for you..VincenzoITAVersion: 30.1

✓ Can't live without it!By far my favourite app ever. All the rest I can do without, but not this one!.Boci_lekaVersion: 27.3

✓ If you are a blogger or pantser-type writerCommitted to writing schenes rather than chapters, then this is the app for you. Easier than Scrivener, seamlessly works with iCloud, and periodically updates with bug fixes. Still not a fan of subscriptions though..MichaelCKellyVersion: 30.1

✓ Always at your finger tipsThere are dozens of apps for writing in a multi device Apple centric world but after trying many alternatives Ulysses naturally emerges as the stress free place to produce text. I also use Scrivener for heavy weight projects and Google Docs for simultaneous real-time editing with third parties and Apple Pages for formatted business correspondence and InDesign for high end presentation PDF production but for every day text Ulysses is like the camera on your smart phone. It's always there when you need it and it just works..Camera5Version: 21.5

✓ The simple and friendly alternative to ScrivenerUlysses is simple in the ways I care about when writing a book: * It organises and structures lots of pieces of writing in an obvious way - it's just a folder structure * It auto-saves all my work in the cloud (including seamless integration with its mobile app) * It separates out the formatting. You mostly just write in plain text. Where you need headers, quotes, bullets, etc there is a very simple markup to apply at the start of the line, like # for heading 1 and ## for heading 2. The great thing about this is that you aren't worrying about formatting until the output stage. What font will you use, at what size, and how will headings look? Not a concern until you are generating your output, you can change and experiment as much as you like, and Ulysses has a number of great default templates. I tried Scrivener but found it to be a complicated, old fashioned, mess. It was like going back 20 years in software design. You needed training to use it, and it made you work to do simple things. Ulysses which is simple and effective in the way I expect modern apps to be..JHolcroftVersion: 22.2

✓ Amazing platform… VERY BAD grammar and spellingI hardly write reviews but I love this app so much that I feel that it would be heloful to point out this flaw. The autocorrect, grammar and spellcheck, and dictionary of this software lag FAR behind the brillaince of the rest of the package. The program doesn’t know many common words, autocorrects to a dangerous degree, and, most annoyingly of all, when a word is marked as misspelled, it is very cumbersome to right-click in order to change it from the available menu of corrections as one would do in word. Right-clicking on a word that has been flagged will often jsut bring up the same menu as woul dcome up if you right-click anywhere else. At least fix this. When a word is flagged I should be able to right-click it to select a correciton with maximum ease. Other than that, thank you for this product. It really is an excellent way to compose and to take notes and it fits effortlessly when integrated iwth other apps, esepcially using split view on Mac where you can make the window small and take notes from another, larger, part of the screen..DindicnsVersion: 18.7

✓ Hands down best writing appI am a journalist as well as an amateur creative writer, and Ulysses suits my needs for every type of writing I do. Look no further: Ulysses is the best writing app on the market. This app not only provides a clean and unintrusive space to do my writing, but it's also packed with loads of features if you need them. Ulysses is fast and lightweight, unlike some of the bulkier writing apps I've tried. The sync between the iOS and Mac versions is instant (and the mobile apps are equally beautiful and easy to use). The focus mode and writing goals motivate me to actually sit down and WRITE. I also love the ability to view a number of sheets together in a single, streaming editor, because this allows me to sketch an outline with multiple sheets and then fill in as I go. The most recent update (March 2019) with the split-screen editor and the keyword manager are just a few of the significant new features that have rolled out since I became a happy subscriber to this app last year. I am thrilled to support these developers with a subscription when it means a stream of quality new feaatures like this. Thank you for making this app and continuing to develop it with such attention to detail. It's clear how much thought and effort has gone into the design and usability of this program and it is very much appreciated..Heykitty9Version: 15

✓ Best Writing Software EverI have been using Ulysses for a number of years now. I have used a few other programs before and was generally restricted to the regular format of Microsoft Word. I love the way it allows free flowing uncluttered writing..Brian.69Version: 14.4

✓ Great piece of softwareI am rapt with Ulysses, all my notes in one place.William GVersion: 29

✓ Ulysses - Why I keep coming backMy fascination with dedicated writing apps began with Ulysses, and has seems to have come full circle. Despite my annoyance when The Soulmen switched over to a subscription model last year, I eventually decided that I wsnt going to be without the app, and stumped up the cost for the annual subscription. I will probably switch to monthly, as getting to know Ulysses is a long process, but I dont think now that there is an app wherr I can simply open and write, and be satisfied that there is both enough simplicity as sufficent depth and complexity in the way its arranged to make writing truly absorbing..Findegil 226Version: 14

✓ PerfectI was a little dubious when it came time to switch from the previous version I paid for to the subscription-based model...but my concerns quickly faded. So much time and attention goes into the seamless functionality of Ulysses, I'm happy to support the developers and their ongoing commitment to providing such a quality writing experience. I write every day and publish frequently in online and print journals, blogs, magazines, and have deleted my extensive collection of writing programs in favour of Ulysses. The customisation is great, the sync between Mac/ipad/iphone (where I jot my notes) is seamless, and the whole experience is a pleasure. The real strength lies in the ability to write in markdown and publish the same document to multiple output formats without changing a thing in your document. Brilliant. I also love the filing system, ease of search, pinning my word count/stats to whatever I'm writing, being able to change/customise the editor to my mood, having everything I need so close and accessible...pretty much everything about this program. If there was a lifetime subscription option, I'd happily jump on board. Kudos to the development team from a happy convert :).Ryza1975Version: 14.4

✓ IncredibleI have used a few writing apps in my time, but Ulysses is the absolute best of them all. No worries about losing all my work, and I absolutely love the second editor, which is so useful for editing and rewriting drafts. Thanks Uylsses for helping me write a book in lockdown - I couldn't have done it without you!.RomulfVersion: 21.4

✓ Incredibly Useful and Worth Every PennyUlysses is software made with love and care for the people who use this wonderful writing tool. The clean and thoughtful interface, the seamless integration between my devices, discovering new useful features—these are some of the things that make this product great. It's an essential tool and one that I recommend wholeheartedly. A must-have for anyone who writes, especially professionally. And no, it is not perfect but to be honest, any shortcomings are mere nit-picks and too time-consuming to even find and catalogue in this review. This app makes my job easier and is worth every penny. If you're thinking about getting it, just do it, you will not regret it..Esynthesis.comVersion: 27.1

✓ This is beautiful.From the beginnings of my writing, I have used 4 different platforms, and this is simply the best! Definitely recommend it =) <3.Pap.samirVersion: 19.1

✓ Still the bestI think I'm up to 10 years of using Ulysses as my writing tool of choice. I've tinkered with the alternatives, of course, but every time I return to Ulysses with relief. It has all the tools I need, none that I don't need. Its writing environment is the next-best-thing to paper - minimal friction between the mess in my head and (mostly) coherent words. Looking forward to using Ulysses for the next decade and more..MuddygreenVersion: 25

✓ Fantastic applicationWell-built writing machine, and a pleasure to use..Jack_mccVersion: 30.1

✓ Ulysses iCloud is the Dream TeamUlysses has facilitated the writing of over 200k words. Being able to write on my phone and on my computer has been phenomenal. I've never had any issues with reliabilty or glitching, but my partner was using Ulysses for years and lost some of their content due to a syncing issue... so they've left Ulysses for Pages. I'm sure to back up every few months, but Ulysses interface is just too perfect for me to find an alternative. I can see how it might be precarious because Ulysses isn't responsible for the actual data... that's an iCloud thing, so it assumes communication between the two is perfect. Still, I don't ever want to use another writing app... so I'm willing to forgive Ulysses a lot..AnglophrenicVersion: 29.2

✓ AmazingSo good. Best writing app. Expensive but buy it right now. You get what you pay for. lol..Free286Version: 23.4

✓ Power and simplicityThis app has the best combination of capability, and ease of use, to manage and organise all your writing projects. It has the best features of other long-form writing applications, and it syncs automatically across all your Apple devices, which not all of the alternatives can boast..RobInTheSandVersion: 22

✓ Still no tablesI use Ulysses a lot, and enjoy it, but I have to switch to other apps when I (frequently) want to use tables. I know you can fudge it with Marked 2, but it would be much better with built-in support. Also, what happened to the esy key sequence (Command-6, Return) to preview in Marked 2?.DobrochrisVersion: 24.2

✓ Fantastic app!I'm not a writing, not even an aspiring writer, but I do record my thoughts and feelings in writing. I have tried using a variety of diary apps, each has their own uses, along with apps such as Microsoft OneNote. Nothing I have used has the flexibility or the ease of use as Ulysses. I have one area for a daily journal, and one area to record anything to do with my health. This keeps everything together in one place. I can really see that those who write books and blogs would really find this app useful. I can start by writing a few ideas in the app on my phone, and then continue with it on my Mac when I get home. Aweseome app and well worth the subscription..PaulieUKVersion: 30.1

✓ A great writer's platformI have many great things to say about Ulysses. It's a wonderful writing platform, especially for online content - and what isn't online today? There are two features that I would love to see with Ulysses. First is the ability to directly collaborate with another users on a specific Sheet without having to first publish it to a platform like Medium. Being able to directly collaborate with an editor or friends for comments would be a great add to the product. The other feature I would love to see is support for Windows. I often have to switch between Windows and Mac (mac my preferred) and it would be very useful for me to be able to do some Ulysses editing on my work on my Windows machine. Ulysses is also missing a critical audience who are Windows only users..RalifawnVersion: 24.5

✓ I use it for everythingI've written two books using this app, as well as countless blog posts, emails, speeches, everything. It is my go-two writing app. Highly recommended..DarrylDashVersion: 20.2

✓ Excellent app for all kinds of writingI'm a long time user and i enjoy the simple presentation of a very powerful app for organizing and composing written projects. I use it for everything from fiction to blog post to video scipts to marketing materials. It is not a simple note taking app and requires some skill to organize your writing. The biggest missing feature that would take this app to the next level is colaboration. Right now I need to put my projects in other apps to get them proofread with icloud sharing. If it had colaboration I would use no other wordprocessor. Great app and worth the cost for power users..WarriorC4JCVersion: 23.3

✓ I have almost every word I write in this appI love this app. It got me through Cegep. Then through multiple training sessions with other jobs. Helped me frame out content for a website. Helped me draft a training plan. Honestly, I love Ulysses and have been using it since 2011. Definitely support these devs and also (almost more importantly) trust them..Jason_ellisVersion: 17

✓ Stellar for WritingThis app has been the benchmark in my creations. The finest thoughts of mine seem to flow so well it seems just like paper, or what I'd wish paper to be. I don't feel the restraint but rather the push to do more. I'm glad for the interface and the colours! I'd want more colour for organization and bigger icons because I am lean more to that end of the spectrum. Thank you and keep doing more!.Terrell MicahVersion: 23.1

✓ Zotero integrationAttempting to integrate zotero citation is a bit of a palaver to say the least. Writing experience is good. Like the simple no fuss layout..Thrones dimlyVersion: 14.4
