Your research will be available in Storyist - but you may not be able to read much of it, as Storyist won’t display PDFs and images are displayed very small. You’ll be able to have your binder open as a sidebar (on an iPad) while you edit a document. You can rearrange documents, add documents, delete documents, and edit documents. Open that, and you’re editing your Scrivener project. Your Scrivener project now will show up in your list of documents, with a big “SCRIV” stamp on the bottom of its icon. Once you’ve done this, go back to Storyist for iOS. In your browser, open and drag the Scrivener project you’d like to edit with Storyist into the Storyist folder on iCloud Drive. Now you’ve got a Storyist folder in iCloud. My executive summary: First, be sure you have iCloud Drive - yes, it’s available for PCs. You’ll need to look at this article on Storyist Software’s website, “ Editing Scrivener Files with Storyist for iOS“. I’d bought Scrivo as an upgrade from Studio 5’s previous product, Textilus, and again, didn’t find anything in it that screamed at me that this was going to be more than a slightly slicker Textilus.įirst to Storyist: If you just buy the app and open it, you get no hint from the interface that you can edit native Scrivener files. I’d already looked at Storyist Mac in September, 2015, and been unimpressed. I admit it - they didn’t pop up on my radar. The first to market with this ability, Storyist, first released a version with native Scrivener editing in October, 2015. Also, when I can (at last!) blog about Scrivener for iOS features, these products will be good comparison points. If you can’t wait for one to three months for the Literature and Latte product if you need a solution now, one of these might do. They are therefore the first true solutions for iOS editing that can be used by Windows Scrivener users. iOS articles: the ability to edit a Scrivener project in its native format rather than go through Scrivener’s Sync to Index Card or Sync to External Folder processes. These have a new capability covered in none of my other Scrivener v. Why then bother with Scrivo Pro and Storyist for iOS reviews? Storyist may be a good product, but the demo and the so-called "Guide" are IRKSOME.Yes, I know: Scrivener for iOS will be released in a month or three. To sum : I feel that I have lost time and money (I pay the downloaded megas). It is clearer than the help menu but it is just a list of features illustrated with some screenshots, not a tutorial. I have also downloaded the guide.pdf from storyist site (indispensable and lacking in both demo files). And when trying to open them from the file (using "open with Storyist"), one gets a message saying "Storyist cannot open files in the Microsoft Word document format" When trying from storyist, the files names are dimmed as inaccessible (I had firsdt checked with Finder info that they were fully readable and writable). docx files are still impossible to import. Therefore, as advised in the reply, I have re-downloaded the demo form, I eventually got a newer and hopefully complete demo called 2.2.6. I suppose so because of the reply I got (see below) and because I have found that it was named "Storyist-AutoUpdate-2.1.5.dmg". I can believe that the Storyist demo.dmg that I have recently downloaded through Mac-update may have been incomplete. But I disliked the inadequacy of its content. I appreciated the quick reply to my review.
