The popular writing application Ulysses received a major update for iOS 13 and iPadOS today. The app gets some new features - including the dark mode known from iOS 13 and split view support for iPadOS.
Ulysses 18 now offers support for the new Dark Mode from iOS 13 and iPadOS. This means that if the system-wide Dark Mode is activated, the app recognizes the setting and adopts the look immediately - there is no need to change it manually. In addition, iPad users can now use the application in two instances using the split view mode - only possible with iPadOS. In addition to other innovations, various bugs have of course also been fixed and other system optimizations have been made. Ulysses 18 can be subscribed to in the AppStore. The monthly subscription costs 4.99 euros - an annual subscription can be taken out for 39.99 euros - students receive a discount. The application can be used on iPhone, iPad and Mac - the data is synchronized between the devices via iCloud. You can find all the new features in full below.
