As of 16th december, I'm not experiencing any bugs. Quite the opposite. I'm surprised by how smoothly every one of my design elements is rendered (I even have text boxes within the manuscript) and how identical the final epub file looks to what I see on the preview. Perhaps I've just been lucky or perhaps they have already ironed out those bugs since your video. Thanks for the vid, anyway!
That's great to hear! What I've noticed most issues with is the print preview and PDF export. Sometimes it times out before it can export. But I've since found ways to help prevent that from happening, or if it does happen, how to solve it. Glad to hear it's working well for you!
I'm glad you mentioned "buggy" because I just bought it and few wee things got stuck. But it didn't last long and away we went again. I really love it. Joanna Penn uses Vellum and I do have a mac: both these positives got me considering it however like yourself I wasn't keen on the high price tag. Good video thanks
l am looking for a publishing software. Atticus is very promising. My question is, can I format a 7 x 10 trim size book by entering the trim size myself.
That's a great question! Unfortunately, I don't think you can. I believe you can only select from the trim sizes they have available (and I just checked and 7 x 10 in is not one of them). However, they are very responsive and reply very quickly if you want to ask them to make sure: www.atticus.io/support/
Atticus just did a hard crash. I have done multiple resets, reboots, even uninstall. Dead as a possum on hwy 29. Customer support is unresponsive. Got any help?
You tried contacting them? They usually respond fairly fast when I send them a support ticket from their website. Are you using the browser or the desktop version?
Was this an ad? This was kind of sounding like an ad, especially with the "I've never tried Vellum before, but it can't compare to Atticus." Girl, what?
I have had atticus for over a year and I really would not recommend it. It is glitchy, super slow, freezes up randomly, and there are multiple formatting errors especially in regards to trim sizes. For example some sizes they claim are 'supported by KDP' are not KDP-compatible. And they are missing a lot of trim sizes and other features. Their customer service is fast and friendly in a cheap, useless way--they do nothing to actually try to help you with these issues and are strangely carefree about them. I'm giving vellum a try, wishing I had done that from the start.
“It’s really buggy” is not something I want to hear about software with a $147 price tag 😕

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! I agree, it is somewhat buggy but definitely worth it when you see the finished product of what it can do!
I think it's hard to compare when you haven't even used Vellum.
