iA Writer? Can add Scrivener too.

I hear what you're saying, and for some, you'd be right. I haven't extensively tried the iPad app for Scrivener, but I did use the desktop version for a while, and while it did what did fine, it seemed kinda kludgy and inelegant. The sync is done in the form of packets to dropbox and it's slow and I worry it'll break. It also had a bunch of features I don't use, so a lot of is bloat-y.

AI writer I've never tried in-depth, but I think it was the one that didn't have options for themes or different fonts? I have a feeling if I did go to anything, it'd be AI.
 
Nah, in fact it isn't, sadly. Well, maybe for you, but not for anyone working on mobile. I'm always on the lookout for a Ulysses replacement, and although this looks quite promising, there is no iOS app. No mobile app of any sort, in fact, and there hasn't been movement on that in a year at least.

Dealbreaker.

I feel like a lot of apps come >< this close to a real replacement for Ulysses and then stop short. No iOS app, no cloud sync, no themes, just as subscription addled as the Soulmen, etc. It's gotta happen someday that someone will do it, and when it does, I'll be first to jump ship. Maybe someday Typora will do it, but it is not this day.

I was only talking of MacOS at that point. If you want to have something to write with on iOS, get 1Writer.
