## Reviews

### "Every writer needs this software" — 5.0/5

> **Blake** | *27 September 2024* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I was having trouble with the pace of my books and this software has helped me so much. I’m always top ten in my genre with every release now.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish the proofreading was more thorough. It catches misspelling but not grammar. I wish it had that so I don’t have to scan my document with additional software.
> 
> I love it. It’s so helpful once you get the hang of it.

### "Okay for Writing, Not Good for Worldbuilding" — 3.0/5

> **Karen** | *6 January 2025* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: My favorite part about Scrivener is that you can access your notes side by side. It's easy to put your different notes in folders and easy to organize the different pages. This makes it a better choice than Microsoft Word or a similar program for writing stories.
> 
> **Cons**: I did not like the formatting at all in Scrivener. I had used Scrivener for writing for a while, but I stopped because the ability to format text was strange. I wanted to use it for world-building documents, which requires a variety of text (bold, underline, bullet points, etc.). However, in Scrivener, the indents were off and the inserted tables hard to work with. The bullet points would line up with the left side of the title text which didn't look right. The final product didn't look as good as it does in other programs such as Microsoft Word or Evernote.
> 
> I've spent a lot of time using Scrivener to organize my stories and worldbuilding. Although I did appreciate the layout in terms of being able to readily access written documents, I got frustrated with the formatting abilities and eventually chose to use Evernote. Another drawback with Scrivener is the lack of cloud syncing. Because I only could access the file on one computer, I had to transfer ideas from other sources, such as Google Tasks, into the scrivener file on that specific computer. It would have been easier if I could access Scrivener online, so I didn't have to keep transferring notes over to the file.

### "Scrivener Is Okay, But That's Not Enough" — 3.0/5

> **Gil C** | *16 January 2025* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It does a wonderful job of guiding a novice writer to understand the structure of fiction and non-fiction. The app helps to organize ideas, concepts, research, and notes, plus it supports multiple editing passes, a must for truly improving your writing.
> 
> **Cons**: If your solution takes a one-hour to video to explain its best usage, that's a problem. I came to Scrivener having written well over 2 million published words, and while other pro writers swear by it, I often found myself swearing at it.
> 
> I did complete 2 books on it, but the 4 works in progress remained in a state of limbo until I opted for another writing app. I'd say that, for me, Scrivener was great 25% of the time, so-so 50% of the time, and a pain to deal with 25% of the time. Enough to get me through 2 books, not enough to make me stay. I may try it again if I get a free copy, but not until them

### "Scrivener makes creative writing projects easier to visualize, plan, and edit" — 5.0/5

> **Lisa** | *26 March 2025* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I really love the cork board features. It makes it so easy to move pieces of text or themes around so that you can get a sense of how everything fits together and flows. Also love how easy it is to customize your binder with different folders for different types of research so that you can keep everything in one binder while still having a clear sense of what your word count is on the main draft.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't find it easy to work with images in Scrivener. Inserting images straight into a draft leads to a massive file size on compile, with no easy way to resize images straight in the draft in ways that commensurately reduces the size of the image file. There are work-arounds for this, but they feel a bit fiddly.
> 
> Love it. I use it for all my creative writing projects - both fiction and non-fiction. I'm currently using it to draft out my third book.

### "Great for writing\!" — 5.0/5

> **Todd** | *8 January 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of use and the multitude of features.
> 
> **Cons**: No real cons.  This program is easy to use and has a ton of features
> 
> I've enjoyed using Scrivener.  I have started writing a book and it is able to keep all my thoughts in order as well as the actual story line.
