I think you'll enjoy it. I certainly do. I currently do perhaps 80% of my writing in iOS Scriv, and the rest in the Win version. Partially because generally there's less distractions lurking for me on my iPad vs. my PC, but also because I just like the feel of writing in iOS Scriv. Keith did a great job, it's a really nice environment for creativity.ThisHereIsPete wrote:The iOS version is only twenty quid, so I'm going to buy it and give it a go.

If I use ‘Back Up To...’ to save a backup to a different location than the one I have set for automated backups, does the project still continue to do automatic back ups in the old location?

It's also possible to include the date in the filename for automatic backups. The setting is in the Scrivener -> Preferences -> Backups pane.
rdale wrote:Yes. The Back Up To... is kind of the inversion of File->Save As. You end up with a copy, but your Scrivener window stays open to the "original"... which may or may not be an advantage for this use-case. But whatever you do with Back Up To... has no effect on your automatic backups settings.
