Best of so-called ”writing apps”

Three years ago, I evaluated all these so-called ”writing apps”. Ulysses was the best and still is. Only minor drawback is the lack of tables, but if you need only text and pics, this is the best one.

Price is too high, no todo lists, poor student options

Like the title says, the price is too high for what it lacks. For example, image support. It’s online docs say that you can adjust the preview size (true), but that the image displays full size in the pop up window. Not true, they display as smaller as the preview, what’s the point of that?

Their online support also has a fix for showing todo checkboxes but that doesn’t work either. That’s two big things I need, and the support articles are just wrong about it.

And finally, the student payment options. Apparently you’re only a student if you have a student ID. Nope, in Finland you only get an ID if you pay extra to join the student unions. The student unions do nothing but organize parties, so no thanks, it’d cost more than the full subscription license.

Other software companies (for example, Tidal) have better systems for checking if you’re a student, it’s definitely possible.

But the todo list checkboxes have been asked for for years, and the devs don’t care, and they don’t care to have accurate support docs, and they don’t have very good image support, and no Apple Watch support, so it’s a lot of money for less than what Bear offers.

Thank you for leaving a review. Given Ulysses' extended set of functionalities, we believe the price of our subscription to be justified. With its incredible organizational opportunities, a fully customizable export, the ability to set writing goals/material sheets, to publish/update blogs to three major platforms, and an advanced grammar and style check, Ulysses is considered a professional writing tool by tens of thousands of users — and all that in an environment that allows you to fully focus on your writing without being distracted thanks to a simple and intuitive interface. A full list of features can be found on our website: ulysses.app/features Regarding the student payment option, please note that we accept almost anything that shows that you are indeed a student or academic staff member. Send us, for example, a screenshot of your student ID card, your transcript of records, your certificate of enrolment, and such like. As to your feedback on our image preview: The line height of the image preview is currently limited to a maximum of 8 lines on iOS (16 lines on macOS). Adding a full-size image preview sounds interesting. I have forwarded your request to our developers and they will discuss this internally. Also, I've forwarded your request for checkboxes. In case of further request or if you do need help with your student application, please don't hesitate to reach out via help@ulysses.app —Andrea
