We’ve quoted their verdicts below, and highly recommend the articles for those who want to know what else is hot in the world of apps. link graphic Ulysses Comments I’ve spent hundreds of hours writing in Ulysses this year. The app is a superb reinvention of Markdown for the modern age of i OS text editing, which enhances the writing experience with features such as inline link and footnote editors, smart paste, glued sheets, and filters. Ulysses is more than a plain text editor: it's a professional writing suite based on plain text and integrated with other i OS apps through automation, drag and drop, and extensions. Ulysses has defined the past year of writing at Mac Stories: there's nothing else like it on i OS, and its developers have adopted a business model that allows them to continuously improve, fix, and innovate. Ulysses represents the modern pro app for i OS and, without hesitation, it is my App of the Year. link Federico Viticci, My Must Have i OS Apps, 2017 Edition separator link graphic Ulysses Comments There’s no single app I use more than Ulysses. Despite a few eccentricities, the app handles the entire writing process with a simple, elegant design that belies the sophistication that underlies it. I especially like how Ulysses handles Markdown, its ability to hide distracting UI chrome from view, and the Word Press integration. link John Vorhees, My Must Have Mac Apps, 2017 Edition link View Web Version link Preferences link Unsubscribe link Forward list with 4 items Unlabeled graphic Unlabeled graphic ulysses 2 Unlabeled graphic Unlabeled graphic fa twitter 3 link graphic fa facebook 4 Unlabeled graphic Unlabeled graphic email 5 out of list Copyright 2018 Ulysses Gmb H and Co.
