"Wonderful organizational app"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Ulysses?

For my position I have to use a combination of things to stay organized. I used Ulysses when I first found it a little while back for personal note keeping. I alternate now between this and One Note for work but prefer this personally due to the sleeker appearance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ulysses?

The subscription is quite high per year. I would like to see slightly different plan options from what's offered now Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Can’t be beaten for IOS, pity it’s not for Windows"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Ulysses?

Excellent use of the iPad screen and good used of working windows when shopping between chapters.

I use Scrivener on my desktop, which is very different and Ulysses is better when working on the iPad

Good total word count feature, when you eventually found it.

Interesting grammar and spell checker. I now integrate Grammarly with it via a keyboard, which works a treat.

On the whole it's a great piece of software at a manageable price Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ulysses?

Somewhat bizarre access to things like total word count, though it's very good once the fog of the help system clears enough to point the way.

Not a great grammar checker, but it provides a starting point.

If it was available on Windows it would be nice to use across platforms ... sadly it's not Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Favorite Writing Tool for Organizing Text and Notes"
4/5
What do you like best about Ulysses?

Choosing software for writing is a personal choice. I have used Ulyssess before they were a subscription pricing model and continue to use them now because they offer the cleanest interface, features like writing goals, and a library that is very easy to organize and search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ulysses?

I still end up using Google Docs with colleagues sometimes, but would prefer to stay in Ulysses if I could, although they don't have the same level of collaboration features that Google Docs offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the clean interface, customizability, markdown support of the Apple ecosystem, Keyboard and Mouse support and the support to students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
