Thank you so much! It's great to hear that Beta 1 is now live. I'm so looking forward to Beta 2. I'm looking forward to the virtual hat so I could possibly be one of the Beta 2 testers.
I'm so excited that Scrivener for iPad's arrival is now imminent.
Thank you again!

dolphindragon88 - beta testing is an odd experience, somewhat like a roller coaster! There's the initial thrill of a new adventure, the delight a well executed program conveys, and the inevitable plunge into frustration when you find something broken.
I beta tested several iOS apps and found it thoroughly enjoyable. I'm sure you will also!

/ 09 APRIL 2016
I use Scrivo Pro. It does sync and open Scrivener file on iOS devices. It is usable with basic functionalities. However, it is not a complete Scrivener package without desktop Scrivener. For example,
1) No compile option.
2) Table won't show up/editable.
Upside is the app is almost having weekely update since its introduction in January, so who knows when those features will be added perhaps very soon. So for those of you (like myself) who cannot get into closed beta of Scrivener, Scrivo is worth a try.
*Note Scrivo Pro creates/saves files fine, but current free version Scrivo will crush when you save files.

This is the news I've been waiting for.
I moved over to Ulysses while I was waiting. Not entirely happy. Tried Editorial. Both fine things but not Scrivener.
Of course I wait with trepidation to see how the formatting transfers as I use Scrivener for writing plays and screenplays in both UK (BBC) and US formats. Nothing lets me seamlessly work with all these like Scrivener... at least on a Mac.
I miss it. I am eager to return to the fold.

Re

Hi there,
As I'm about to embark on the wonderful journey of writing my very first children's novel, I want to be well prepared. That means the best software on my favourite hardware. Since I have a busy day job and a busy family life as well, I will be writing mostly in short bursts. I'm not one to spend my evenings huddled behind my PC screen in my work room, rather than spending it outside in the lovely spring weather, at my comfortable living room table, or on the couch with my wife, quickly registering my thoughts when inspiration strikes. So, I'll be using my iPad.
Scrivener and Ulysses seem to be the best of the best in this category, and I must say I've been mightely tempted to start out with Ulysses. It's actually the lack of a Windows version that's held me back. I don't know, but I'd feel kind of vulnerable having "just" the iPad version (since I don't own a Mac, and I'm not going to get a Mac just for this). On the other hand, maybe it's sufficient to have just an iPad version, and I should just start out with Ulysses. But once you choose either Ulysses or Scrivener, you're going to be stuck with it for the rest of the project, right?
Any thoughts on my contemplations? I just hope I can get into beta testing Scrivener as soon as possible.

I would love to participate in beta testing the Scrivener iOS app. I've used both the windows and the Mac version over the years--but not as much as I would like because of the lack of a convenient way to integrate output from writing sessions I conduct on mobile devices into Scrivener. I'm very excited by the news you've opened up beta testing. I've beta tested two APIs through flight path and know how it works. Thanks again!

Obviously will give feedback to its crashes etc.

Re

Seems like there's no shortage of "volunteers" for beta testing.
I would love to be a part of that group as well. I've been an active and critical member of the user community of Synology and Popcorn Hour, providing feedback on their apps and functionalities.
I'm an aspiring writer who has no history with Scrivener whatsoever. This might seem like a disadvantage, but try to look at it from a different angle.
Most of the volunteers apparently belong to the group that already knows what Scrivener is capable of. They own the software on Windows and/or Mac, and they love it. Their feedback will be essential, and of course most of the betatesters should belong to this category. However, their feedback will also be very predictable: "Just make it look and work as much as the Windows/Mac version as possible", or variations on that.
Since I have no frame of reference like that, I would be judging the iOS version on its own merits, a fresh perspective, a clean slate. And since I'm a dedicated iOS user, who wants to stick to the mobile version of Scrivener, I would be representing a potential new market for your software as well. Sometimes it's better not to have just fanboys on your team ; ).
Anyway, just my two cents. Good luck with the application!
