Some apps do manage to have feature-equivalence between iOS and macOS versions of course, but such apps are either much simpler or have achieved this by redesigning the macOS version to be as flat as the iOS version. You can use popovers to provide menu-like controls (such as the formatting popover in Scrivener for iOS), but if you tried to turn those into fully-fledged macOS-like menus, a touch-based app would soon become unusable. On iOS, you can fit a limited number of icons along the top of the navigation bar and a few in the footer bar (fewer on the iPhone) and that's it. There is no equivalent of the menu or toolbar on iOS. There's also the toolbar, which can contain icons for common commands, and which the user can customise. On macOS and Windows, there is a menu bar into which can be crammed any number of features, all tucked away and accessible only as you need them. Its interface is much 'flatter' and has less depth.

Moreover, Apple has designed iOS to be streamlined and much simpler than macOS. However, it's simply not possible to implement every macOS or Windows feature in the iOS version.Īs powerful as iOS is, the devices on which it runs are not as powerful (and do not have as much memory) as desktop machines. All the core features are there: the ability to create an outline, to view the corkboard (on the iPad), to work on a manuscript piece-by-piece, to import and refer to research, and even to refer to more than one document at the same time (again, on the iPad). We've tried to take the essence of Scrivener and bring it to mobile devices. The short answer to this question is 'no'! Scrivener for iOS has been designed from the ground up as an iOS app.
