Is Scrivener worth it or is there better?
For so long in my life I’ve written my books in the notes app and then moved onto reedsy. Recently though, especially as I move into the later drafts of my novel, I’ve tried searching for another writing website/app since reedsy—while very useful—doesn’t really have space or capabilities to store past drafts. That means I would have to download my old drafts before clearing space. Another problem I have with reedsy is that if you don’t open your ‘book’ in (I think) three months, it would automatically be moved to the trash.
Anyways, I began searching for a new writing software, somewhere that wouldn’t feed my writings into AI.
I tried Ellipsis earlier but something that bugged me was how if you write more than 25k words in a single document, the entire thing glitches.
Also, I’ve been searching for something permanent. Something I’ve been hoping to use for years and years.
I’ve always heard of scrivener. I tried the free trial and I really liked it! My problem though, is that not only is it expensive (50-60 bucks) but also, I’m wondering whether it’s worth it to get scrivener on my iPad (which is I think 25 bucks) or a laptop.
I typically write on my iPad but I heard I would have to download Dropbox and Scrivener takes up a lot of storage and it’s not as useful since I wouldn’t be able to use split-windows. I’ve heard people even say how useful the wider screen is on the laptop.
I’m wondering whether, if I buy scrivener, to get it on my iPad or my laptop?
I was thinking I could probably transfer my writings from my iPad to the scrivener on my laptop if I buy it there. Or should I just buy scrivener on my iPad?
