Ulysses is considered to be one of the best writing apps for Mac users, having received high marks from users from all over the world. Now, to build on that success, the developers behind the app are making it available for iPad users, as well.

Ulysses for iPad is your one-stop writing environment on iOS. Whether you’re a novelist, a journalist, a student or a blogger – if you love to write and write a lot, Ulysses gives you a uniquely streamlined toolset, covering every phase of the writing process:
