![]() Bottom line, I still need to have a way of accessing it quickly from within for example the Files App. But maybe I don’t know how to?Įdit: I know there’s a workaround for the “quick access” file on the Files App, which is to press and hold the “Files App” on the dock, and the last few documents or files you worked on will show - that’s fine if indeed the file you want is one you’ve worked on recently, but sometimes I work on many files and want to go back to my “rtf diary”, but I only used it that morning, so it’s been 10 documents since and it won’t appear with this dock trick. how do I do that? Also, somehow I don’t know why, but on the sidebar in Files, the first big heading is STORYIST, as if everything always gets automatically imported to Storyist - I *do not want that* - how can I get iPadOS to quit doing that?īonus question, which I *think* I might already know the answer to - I know how to put a folder in the ”Favorites” menu on the sidebar in Files App, but can I put an INDIVIDUAL FILE there? I have a particular rtf file that I use constantly (think - diary) that I’d love to have immediate access to by putting in the sidebar, but I can’t find a way to do it - the “press+hold” on that file doesn’t have the “Favorite” option (only folders do). I’d like to have ALL rtf files open automatically in GoodReader. ![]() I managed to copy/move the file to my GoodReader app and it opens it fine. For example, for some insane reason, all my rtf files automatically open in an app I have (“Storyist”) and that app cannot open rtf files over a certain (small) size - they immediately crash. Press+hold menu does not give me any option to “open with” as on MacOS. My experience: when I tap to open an imported file, it automatically selects which app to use to open it. Importing files from wherever (mostly USB drives) to the Files App - and I always store them locally (on the iPad). LivingWriter was made because there was a need for a perfect application for writers that combines all the best features with the greatest user experience.Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I really tried searching and can’t find it. This makes LivingWriter the safest choice for writers. Unlike Storyist, LivingWriter is web-based, and anyone with an internet connection can collaborate with you on your book in real-time without paying to download the application. LivingWriter has the best co-authoring and collaboration of any book writing software on the market.Īs opposed to Storyist which leaves gaps in your saved work, LivingWriter saves your work every keystroke, and revision history saves every ten minutes. Just plug in your ideas and LivingWriter will do the rest. All you need to do is pick any one of the time-tested templates like Story Circle, 27 Chapter Method, Seven Point Story, and Three Act Structure, and LivingWriter will walk you through how to use it. That means no extra features that get in your way.įor example, LivingWriter’s plot templates are the easiest to use. Especially because LivingWriter is designed to ease the work of writers specifically working on novels and non-fiction. However, LivingWriter’s layout of chapters, subchapter, story elements, and notes provides a much simpler user experience than Storyist. Both LivingWriter and Storyist have common features like auto-suggest, corkboard, character images, dark mode, writing goals, and templates. ![]() LivingWriter has a cleaner interface, resembling updated programs like Google Docs. Any writer knows that a few minutes to an hour worth of lost work could mean the loss of an idea that will never return! Why LivingWriter Is Better This extremely limits your capacity to work with an editor which is an essential aspect of publishing your work.Īnother concern we found with our Storyist review is that it autosaves every few minutes, and revision history saves every hour. This also means that if you want someone to edit your work, you cannot collaborate with them on Storyist. This makes it a no-go for non-Mac users, or if you ever plan to edit your work on a computer that is not a Mac. Storyist is also only available for macOS and iOS, and it must be downloaded. Additionally, if you are writing a screenplay then you would want software like FinalDraft which is specifically geared towards screenplay writing. These features are cumbersome to authors who don’t need them. However, writing a screenplay requires very specific features that are not needed for those writing books or articles. One of the biggest issues with Storyist is that they tried to capture the market of both book and screenplay writing. Storyist looks a bit more updated than programs like Scrivener and FinalDraft which have very old interfaces, however, they are still missing the mark when it comes to user interface and experience. Any Storyist review will tell you that it still resembles Microsoft Word circa 2005.
