## Review summary

WriterDuet’s desktop Mac and browser experience is praised for strong performance and powerful formatting tools with many templates, plus a user-friendly, story-focused workflow. However, mobile stability lags significantly behind, with laggy performance and poor cloud syncing. Cross-device synchronization issues, cursor/editing glitches, occasional freezes/crashes, and paste/import problems are the most common complaints. Overall, the desktop experience is solid and feature-rich, while mobile reliability and cross-device sync require attention.

### Pros

- Strong desktop Mac and browser experience.
- Robust formatting tools and a wide range of templates.
- User-friendly, straightforward interface.
- Story-first workflow that helps focus on writing.

### Cons

- Mobile app (iPhone/iPad) is laggy, unreliable, and often fails to update to the cloud.
- Syncing across devices is inconsistent; changes don’t propagate and two versions of a script can diverge.
- Cursor jumps or editing navigation glitches when editing, causing edits to land in the wrong place.
- App freezes or crashes, including hangs on startup or splash screens.
- Pasting from external sources (e.g., Google Docs) can introduce glitches or formatting issues.
