User Reviews

Scrivener on iOS is strong for organization and on-the-go writing, with robust project structure, cross-device potential, and useful accessibility features. However, it is plagued by persistent syncing bugs (especially with Dropbox), unreliable editing/formatting on mobile, limited cloud options, and a lack of updates, which leads to data loss risks and a less than ideal mobile experience.

Pros

Excellent organization with binder-style folders and subfolders, keeping research, notes, and drafts in one place.
Mobile-friendly, writer-focused experience that’s more intuitive for on-the-go drafting than alternatives like Google Docs.
Corkboard and project-structure features help plan and manage long-form works.
Cross-device syncing between iPhone/iPad and desktop for a seamless workflow (when it works).
Accessibility features (e.g., VoiceOver) and overall usability for writers.

Cons

Persistent syncing issues with Dropbox and data loss; requires Dropbox and often conflicts between devices.
Mobile/iOS version is buggy for editing and formatting (formatting menus vanishing, font size controls broken, find/replace broken).
Limited cloud storage options; other services (OneDrive, Google Drive) are not supported or easily integrated.
Lack of ongoing updates and development; perceived as abandoned or not keeping pace with platform changes.
Corkboard and core features are often inaccessible or limited on mobile/tablet, reducing their usefulness.

Recent reviews

The App has been amazing. Being able to use Scrivener on the go is incredible. Picking up where I left off on multiple devices makes writing convenient beyond measure. Everything syncs quickly, effortlessly and easily. However, there are a few inconsistencies to address. First, some fonts are not shared between mobile and desktop so when syncing, text revert to a shared fonts. Second, the features on iPhone/iPad are clunky and outdated. Such as changing colors, font, line spacing and layout. Third, The “mobile” versions are essentially watered down version of the desktop. You lose a lot of features such as viewing your corkboard, viewing multiple folders, and other key features Scrivener has to offer. Fourth, this has been an ongoing issue for months. I cannot even use the built in app shortcuts! It’s so frustrating I can’t use highlighting, insert, font changes, etc. I’ve reached out multiple times and avenues and been seen and ignored. I hope the developers are able to make the desktop and mobile versions more alike in sense of having similar functionality, we understand they may not be exactly the same but any update for desktop features would make this rating a Five Star easily. Fix the app issues. Thank you.
