Ulysses - the ideal text editor for Mac and iPad

The recently released Ulysses 2 has collected rave reviews all foreign observers. We decided to look whether to spend quite a lot of money on a word processor and what it has to offer for its price.

I have tried many text editors. I enjoyed the familiar WordWhich, by the way, can hardly be called ideal for creative work. Enjoyed Buddhist OmmWriter, which picks up the background music for the concentration and relaxation. enjoyed iA WriterWhich it is still my primary text editor on both the computer and the tablet.

And here comes the second version of Ulysses. And it costs 44.99 dollars. It's a lot. For the money you can buy ten times iA Writer or countless times Pirate Word download torrents. Is it worth the money Ulysses?

If your job is to write the text, just so. The app has a version not only for the Mac, but also for the iPad. They are synchronized by iCloud, and you can work with text on both devices from any location. But this is not new.

Cool thing is that both versions look and work exactly the same. Keyboard shortcuts are the same as the same interface, the only difference is in the amount of elements.

The application interface is divided into three columns, as well as in Evernote. The first - the library folder, the second - your notes, and the third - a field for text. Notes can be stored on your computer and in your Dropbox or Box. Or connect your iCloud-account.

I immediately notice one key difference from other text editors. In Ulysses no names of notes. Generally. As an alternative to displaying the first few lines of your text. Some foreign observers have called it a cool chip, I also think that at least for conservatives could leave the possibility to enable or disable this feature.

The text has a few buttons. With their help, you can share text, see the work of Statistics (characters, words, and speed), walk through the bookmarks, tags, or insert the file. Bookmarks - a cool feature, especially for large text.

File-panel inserts, you can add pictures, tags, tagging, or to set a goal. Goals - a certain number of words, paragraphs, characters or strings that you want to write. As we approach the goal of the pie chart to the right of the text will be filled.

The application has one significant problem - synchronization. It is not as fast as we would like. Sometimes files are synchronized immediately, sometimes it takes an hour for the changes will appear on both devices. It seems that this wine iCloud. The same trouble I noticed synchronize your task list Clear.

Separately, also worth mentioning about the topics. In addition, you can choose between four standard themes, you can create your own by editing the appearance of any element. But there are applications on the site a few dozen topics.

Ulysses - is the ideal text editor. It has everything you need as a base, and advanced to the author. The only problem - this is the price. for Mac version costs 2690 rubles for iPad - 1 190 rubles. To give so much money for a text editor will want only people who earn their texts created by them is much greater. But it's worth it.
