Ulysses 21 Brings Advanced Grammar and Style Check to iPhone and iPad

[ulyssesapp]

The grammar-checking service they chose to integrate, LanguageTool Plus, does not have a good reputation, but it is the sort of thing that should be added to an app such as Ulysses


I believe most writers consider Scrivener, which costs $45 for a license (no subscription), to be a better writing app. Ulysses mainly gained momentum because they had an iOS version during a long period when Scrivener did not.

I would be curious to know if Ulysses has improved enough to overtake Scrivener.

You can take Ulysses for a spin and find out for yourself. We offer a fully functional 14-day trial which can be canceled anytime up to 24 hours before the trial period expires.

Successfully moved over to Typora. Works great in conjunction with most any Markdown editor on iPad that does not lock its files away in proprietary containers (I still use Byword).

Always on the lookout for something to truly replace Ulysses for me, I looked at this. Doesn’t seem to be an iOS variant, so it’s a dealbreaker. But it look promising, should they ever get there.

I also was sceptical at first but like I said, any markdown editor on iPadOS (e.g. Byword, iAWriter) works great in conjunction with Typora (at least, afaik, as long as you sync your files via iCloud). Sync is near-instantaneous, just like with Ulysses... perhaps if you write on iPad most of the time you may miss a thing or two, but at least for me, lacking a few comfort functions beats being tied to an arrogant company’s subscription model...
