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.

Disappointed by the Sync’ing with the Desktop version. I spent too much time trying to fix it. It worked for a while… until it did not anymore ! So, not worth it on my side. Don’t mix Desktop and IPad versions.

Paid 20$ dollars the app is unusable on iPad I.e. , missing a ton of core features I.e templates and other useful features for making tables etc. your license doesn’t link up with pc so you’d have to buy it and you can’t easily import documents via the app it self you have to copy paste what it’ll allow you too that combined within its difficult curve of learning makes it A-Tier GARBAGE FOR IPAD SPECIFICALLY.

When will you fix the bug where the format tool disappears on iOS 26?!?! I continue to use this app between my phone, iPad, my macbook, and even the PC! The sync with Dropbox is GREAT! As long as you sync your work before opening it in another device. But I need the format tool back. Please please please provide a fix soon!!!
