And the word processing feature is robust and makes it easy to break my writing up into chapters or scenes. I use it for all my first drafts. > > **Cons**: There's definitely a learning curve if you want to get the most out of its features, but they've gotten better with tutorials and walk-throughs than it was when I first started using it. Other than that, I think it's a fantastic tool for authors. ----- ### "Many great features for writers" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *November 2, 2023* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Pay once, and you get a full-featured program for writing anything from a simple article to a multi-part novel. > > **Cons**: The learning curve can be steep, but the documentation helps. > > I've been writing and editing with Scrivener for years, and couldn't do without it. ----- ### "Every writer needs this software" — 5.0/5 > **Blake** | *September 27, 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** | *January 6, 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** | *January 16, 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 ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/180597/scrivener?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/180597/scrivener) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
