I’ve searched everywhere for you

Thank you so much for making the perfect app to organise my thoughts, millions of random notes and plotting my book. It’s been a real struggle. So user friendly and has all the elements I was looking for all these years but couldn’t find in any other software or app. To think this is only one person who put this together! My chaotic brain has finally found peace and I’ll certainly support this creator :)

I do have one question about how much data this app can handle because what I’m about to dump into one project is criminal! Also, is it all autosaved on some kind of cloud? Thanks!

Highly Enjoyable!

This app is one I would definitely recommend and have recommended for others. I can see it being a bit confusing and overwhelming at first but learning how to use it and what each of the buttons did wasn’t really challenging. Definitely 5 stars

Nearly perfect

I actually love this app—it’s very intuitive and I love all the features! Now, I don’t have to use fifteen different apps for planning and writing; everything I need is all in one. The only issue I’ve had is that I wish there was a way to move around the placement of chapters. For example, while I was writing I realized that in one of my stories, chapter three would work way better as chapter two so I wanted to switch their placement in the story. It would be nice to be able to move the chapter order without having to copy paste, but I understand that may not be feasible. The only other thing I’ve noticed is the order of my stories. It would be nice to have the one I was recently working on at the top instead of the one I made first. But these are really only very small nitpicks in the grand scheme of things—more of a personal preference than anything else—and this app is really fantastic. The things I love about it far outweigh any issues I’ve found (and the two mentioned are the only issues I’ve come across). Like the fact that I can have all my planning in the same place as my writing is just awesome. I love the characters and character groups function, really makes world building so much easier.

Where have you been

Where has this been all my life?!
This is the best writing app i have every come across. It clearly outlines thecatagories, you can go into so much detail, you can make spider diagrams, you can write your ideas and so much more. I tell all my family and friends about this the more I find out something new about it!

Incredible

Absolute must for anybody looking to get envolved in writing and world building. Perfectly streamlined the process and helps keep everything organised.

Awesome!

Dear Fortelling developers, This is one of the best writing / plotting apps I have seen. It has a great depth to the BTS of your stories and books. You can build languages, chapters, worlds, creatures, and etc. all through this one app! Now, while this is a well developed app, there is always room for improvement! I have found some bugs, and I also have some ideas for new features! One of the bugs I have noticed is whenever you go to the chapter area and create a chapter (with a description), you will likely never seen past the first ten words of the description again. You cannot restore or remember the words you wrote in the chapter section. This is also in a few other tabs, so I would appreciate you looking into that. I was wondering if you could add a feature where you could have articles, videos, tutorials, and/or tips for writing. They could range from building a plot (with a twist) to fixing grammatical issues. Just an idea, and I do believe your app is fine just as is, but this would be very convenient for new writers instead of swapping apps!

Amazing features!

Great app and love the board feature. I’m able to create timelines and use large images to put the story in order. Definitely helps save a ton of time and runs smoothly to make the process efficient! Highly recommend!

Amazing So Far

I really do love and enjoy this app so much it helps me organize my multiverse novels so easily and now I’m almost close to finish with my world building. Seriously guys download if you have writers block or download if you feel like you been stuck circling around the same characters and their development cause this app has helped me with all of it

One of the best writing i’ve seen so far

I just started using this with my team to help write comics and honestly its working out great for us, my only complaint is that the image resolution is so poor and no download image feature for phones which hinders my artist’s work since i want to use this app as a hub for everything my team needs to succeed from the script of the story and lore centered on characters to character sheets/pictures for art reference

Straightforward and easy to use

Such a lovely little app, I was looking everywhere for an app that did exactly what I needed and stumbled across this one. Character section, world building, plot points etc. good job devs!
