$19.99 is a very reasonable price (assuming full compatibility with the desktop).

Yes, it's accurate.

Here's the tail-piece from the round-robin about the Summer-Fest 2016 sale of software that Keith B, the Scrivener developer, sent out out a couple of days ago:

'We’re making good on our last newsletter promise '… short of the annihilation of all species, we’ll be bringing Scrivener on iOS to you during 2016.'

After a much prolonged gestation period, we’ll be bringing Scrivener to iOS before the close of July 2016. As many of you are aware, we’ve been working on this project for over 5 years, so we’re exhausted, but happy that the process is finally coming to a close. Scrivener on iOS pricing will be set at US$19.99, and will be available, like all iOS apps, through Apple’s iTunes App Store. We’ll be sending out another newsletter when we’ve completed beta testing, and joyously pressed the relevant publish button!"

I will be so happy for Keith and his crew when they get this Herculean job done. I'll also immediately pony up my $19.99 for the app.

To judge from a blog post Keith has released today, the initial reaction of beta-testers has been very favourable: http://www.literatureandlatte.com/blog/ My own lips are of course firmly sealed. ;)

... you naughty boy, you didn't mention the highly drool-worthy (and enticingly short) video in the blog post.

Keith's obviously learned a thing or two from the canny Ulysses team and their reveal-based intro to the app.

Wow. Looking good!

I especially like the two-pane view. Now that's very cool. Notebooks has a similar feature, but Notebooks is on a bit of a go-slow at the moment.

The features being unveiled by Keith on the Literature & Latte blog really do look exceedingly enticing.

Coupled with a streamlined version of the desktop app, which he is also promising in the near future, I think Scrivener is going to be one of the leading cross-platform apps on Mac, iOS and Windows. The range of functions is truly astounding.

Cheers,
Bill

Literature & Latte just tweeted official release date is July 20.

That's terrific news. Hmmm ... I wonder if v2 would merge Pokemon Go and Scrivener -- LOL

It's out now on the App Store. Looks great.

Only had a chance for a quick play, but yes, it does indeed look great!
