“The app is amazing. An absolute delight to use. Well done.” – David Hewson, Bestselling Author “It’s hard to imagine a better experience on any platform.” – Macworld “It’s the best journal, word processor, writing, distraction free, note taking, zen app I have on my iPad.” – The Brooks Review

### DESKTOP-CLASS WRITING APP ###

Ulysses is your one-stop writing environment on iOS. Whether you’re a novelist, a journalist, a student or a blogger – if you love to write and write a lot, Ulysses gives you a uniquely streamlined toolset, covering every phase of the writing process:

- A powerful, yet simple text editor. - A familiar, no-nonsense text library. - A comprehensive and truly flexible multi-format export.

Of course, the heart and soul of a writing app is its editor. And Ulysses is said to have the best text editor in the world. It offers everything you need – from markup to images and footnotes, from links to comments and code –, and it still manages to stay completely out of the way. It’s a beautiful and focused experience, which turns writing on mobile into *actual fun*.

But since Ulysses takes writing seriously, it does not stop at the editor. Its unified library offers unprecedented access to everything you’ll ever write, be it snippets and ideas, be it blog posts or manuscripts. Every text is at your fingertips, and Ulysses perfectly scales from scratchpad to diary to Great American Novels – and to everything in-between.

Best of all, Ulysses offers fully-fledged, no-holds-barred, all-out iCloud sync. Ulysses is available for all your devices, be it iPad, iPhone or Mac, and every device has access to everything and anything you’ll ever write. Synchronization is simple, seamless and automatic. It neither requires third-party apps, nor any kind of interaction. If you got iCloud, you got sync.

And once you’re finished, Ulysses transforms your text into beautiful PDFs, web pages, ebooks and Word documents. You can copy as HTML, save as Markdown, and even publish to your WordPress and Medium accounts. Export is as easy as selecting a format, choosing a style, and picking a destination. Yes, 1-2-3.

All my other apps, including two reasonably priced Markdown editors, sync flawlessly, without any effort on my part, with iCloud. Not Ulysses. I read the help faq, but there are no solutions for me. Again, it's not iCloud that is the problem, it works for me with other apps. I realize this is something unique to my set up, as this works for others. But I've still spent more than I've ever spent on an app, for something that doesn't work. (I've also spent more time troubleshooting than ever...)

The best there is

Ulysses is the best tool for writing since the pen. Simple so you can focus on writing and really well designed on both iOS and macOS

Working on dissertation. Can work on all my devices. A useful tool all the way around.

I was still using the app and just found it unable to use now

Simply the Best
     
by PastorGil · July 20, 2017

I am a Pastor, so I write a lot. Ulysses has helped me become more organized and more efficient. The ability to easily organize and combine documents is great for compiling sermon series, a years worth of sermons, or combining parts of worship or a funeral. Well worth the money. If you are a new user, go over to YouTube and watch some tutorials.

So much better, and 100x more reliable, than Scrivener.
