Description

Storyist is a powerful writing environment that lets you create, review, and revise your work wherever inspiration strikes.

“If I could have only one screenwriting app on my iPad, Storyist would be it.” – Taz Goldstein, Hand Held Hollywood.

“I'm currently traveling in Europe and am just now putting the finishing touches on the book that will be published in September. I'm using the Storyist app for my iPad Mini and it's sensational... a real godsend.” – Michael Brandman, Bestselling Author.

With Storyist, you can:

• Produce submission-ready manuscripts and screenplays. Storyist provides a rich text editor with support for comments, images, headers, footers, and style sheets so you can create properly formatted manuscripts and screenplays. And Storyist comes with manuscript and screenplay templates so you can focus on the writing, not the formatting.

• Work with your story at a high level. Storyist lets you sketch out a story using index cards and then refine it with customizable plot, character, and setting sheets. When you're ready to put words on the page, Storyist can even display your index cards next to your manuscript as you write.

• Review and revise on the go. Have a few minutes? Open Storyist and jot down a note, rewrite a few paragraphs, or annotate your manuscript with ideas for future changes.

• Keep all your writing organized and accessible. Storyist organizes your novel manuscripts, screenplays, notes, and other project-related writing so you can access them with just a few taps. And the Files app support lets you store your projects where you want and edit them in place.

Great but...

I like this app a lot. It’s definately helped me to understand format. The one niggle I’ve had so far is with page numbers. The guidance you find is for Mac so you have to dig a bit deeper to figure out how to do it for iPhone/iOS. I’ve found it and managed to do it but the app will not let me move page number anywhere other than top left. Each time I go in to the place where I would choose my alignment the app crashes. Also, if you want to add ‘page 1’ as opposed to just a number, this doesn’t seem possible. You can type ‘page 1’, but this then adds it to every page. Then every page has ‘page 1’ at the top!?! There’s a button you can press ‘page #’ which will add a single number to each page, but this took me ages to figure out. This should be such a simple feature, and when you’re trying to create something professional it really lets the app down. Please sort it out and make it... easy? Thanks.

Worth looking at

Storyist, as said, is overshadowed by Scrivener but Storyist is kept up to date. Because the script, text is one file the search feature is really useful. There is flexibility of formatting and layout. Definitely the best alongside Scrivener at a sensible price.

Great writing app.

I love Storyist and the features. I have version 3 on an old MacBook and version 4 on my iMac and on my iPad. Syncing files is simple through iCloud so you always have an up to date copy. This is so useful to me as I can work at home or away.

Although similar to Scrivener (which I also have), I find Storyist easier and more intuitive to use. Learning to use it requires much less effort and more time to concentrate on writing. There are also some excellent tutorials on YouTube which show how to use and customise output for print or ebooks. I also found the after sales help to be remarkable.

Obviously software is very much a personal choice but if you like the idea of a proper writing app but struggle with more complicated ones, I thoroughly recommend Storyist.
