I'm one pissed #Author. Filed this 1-star review on the App Store today. Am I the only one using the iPad with #Scrivener?
Titled: Abandonware?
I hate to lower the star average on this otherwise wonderful author-oriented text editing iPad app, however since iPadOS 26 debuted last fall, the app has suffered from issues with Find (⌘F). I noted them first in beta, and I posted to the forums. Now, with 26.2 out for weeks (I am using the release version of iPadOS, now), still no bug fix update issued. Using Find often but intermittently causes the find window to show then hide itself. If it does show, using it a few times can lock up the app until it quits and restarts. It appears to be related to the Windowed Apps feature, but it happens even with the feature turned off. Lit & Latte has updated the Mac version repeatedly, but why not the iOS/iPadOS version? It feels like they've abandoned it. Think about it, what kind of revision can you do without search and search and replace working? I am using the M5 iPad Pro 13", but it failed on my earlier iPad, too. I do not recommend buying the app for sole iPad use, nor if you need to use it for syncing between Apple platforms. The Mac version has no issues. I will revise this review once the issue is fixed.
