I'm using the Storyist app for my iPad Mini and it's sensational. “I'm currently traveling in Europe and am just now putting the finishing touches on the book that will be published in September. “If I could have only one screenwriting app on my iPad, Storyist would be it.” – Taz Goldstein, Hand Held Hollywood. Storyist may be a good product, but the demo and the so-called "Guide" are IRKSOME.Storyist is a powerful writing environment that lets you create, review, and revise your work wherever inspiration strikes. To sum : I feel that I have lost time and money (I pay the downloaded megas). It is clearer than the help menu but it is just a list of features illustrated with some screenshots, not a tutorial. I have also downloaded the guide.pdf from storyist site (indispensable and lacking in both demo files). And when trying to open them from the file (using "open with Storyist"), one gets a message saying "Storyist cannot open files in the Microsoft Word document format" When trying from storyist, the files names are dimmed as inaccessible (I had firsdt checked with Finder info that they were fully readable and writable). docx files are still impossible to import. Therefore, as advised in the reply, I have re-downloaded the demo form, I eventually got a newer and hopefully complete demo called 2.2.6. I suppose so because of the reply I got (see below) and because I have found that it was named "Storyist-AutoUpdate-2.1.5.dmg". I can believe that the Storyist demo.dmg that I have recently downloaded through Mac-update may have been incomplete. But I disliked the inadequacy of its content. I appreciated the quick reply to my review. Storyist no longer crashes on Big Sur and later when deleting a user-created text file template from the template chooser.Fixed an issue that prevented a link selected in the link dialog from being inserted in the document in certain circumstances.The word count is still available in the status view in the toolbar. Storyist no longer presents the Word Count field in the list of fields you can display in a sheet.Values set using the Format > Font > Kern, Format > Font > Ligature, and Format > Font > Baseline are now restored properly when you reopen a file.When exporting to ePub, files containing text with only section-level outline levels (i.e., no heading levels) are now exported using the file name as the chapter heading.ePub exports with ampersands and other illegal HTML characters in the title or author metadata fields no longer cause warnings when displayed in the Apple Books apps.To add strikethrough to selected text, choose Format > Font > Show Fonts, click the Strikethrough button (3rd from left), and select the desired strikethrough appearance. Storyist now stores the writing direction, so text entered in a right-to-left language (e.g., Arabic) will appear correctly when the file is reopened.Note: This menu item only appears if the "Preferred languages" list in the Language & Region preferences pane includes a right-to-left language like Arabic or Hebrew. Storyist now shows a Writing Direction menu item in the Format > Text menu that lets you specify the direction for a paragraph.
