nice app, however really hope there’s a password option to keep everything private
Doesn’t Autosave
This sucks because everything in this app is great but the fact that the app can refresh because you exited to go check something and ALL your progress can be completely lost because it doesn’t autosave ruines the app for me.
I was in the middle of something and left the app less than a few seconds to go check an information on Google and when I reopened it, the app refreshed and ALL MY PROGRESS WAS LOST !!! Everything I had spend time writing and detailing completely gone.
So this one thing right here makes it go from a 5 star app to a 2 star :(
I’m really sad about it !!!
And the worst part is I doubt there’ll be an update anytime soon to remedy this.
**sigh**
Guess I’ll have to look for a different app.

Offline not available
There is no offline mode that works with this app. It’s online only for anything to be saved. You’re better off trying another app.
Even if it was possible, it’s not explained. The description should be clear that it is used online only. I believe I wasted time trying to get it to work. I found a better app that can work both offline and online making it easier to do work when there’s no internet.

Wish I could give 4.75 stars…
…because my complaints about the app are so minor in comparison to all the things I love about it.
This app has everything you need in one place to write whatever you’re working on. It’s like carrying a well-organized little writing notebook in my pocket, so I can write on the go, but it can also be used on a bigger screen.
The two things that are slightly annoying:
1) Even in dark mode, the keyboard is so bright!
2) On the desktop version, you can’t highlight properly to cut/copy/paste/delete. It’s like the cursor skips to another line when you try to.
If not for those two things, this app would be perfect.

I love this app—but I do have a few things I wish could be fixed.
I really like the app, it’s a great way to plan out novels. I mostly use it to keep track of future ideas, or ideas that I’ve put to the side. If I were to complain about anything, it’s that sometimes, you hit the “Save” button, and it will continually making the character/book until you hit “x”. Which prompts the app to ask if you’re sure. So, you’ve got to agree and then go in and delete duplicates. I also dislike how it sometimes freezes.
However, having said my few complaints, I love the ability to swap from my iPad to my cellphone. It means that if I’m looking for a quick thought, I can just open up the app on my phone (with the free version too). I really like the fact that I can create multiple projects, with covers—which helps me keep track of things I’ve always tried to keep track of in Google Docs.

Has basically everything you need to write a book
Chapters, writing goals, timelines and events, boards, notes, labels, image gallery, dictionary, all that for free. I’ve only had it downloaded for a day or so, but it seems quite useful.
Helps motivate me to write
I have struggled with motivation to write, partly due to not having a good outlet to organize my thoughts and ideas for world and character building. This app helps to organize such things, in such a helpful and effective way. My favorite part is the story map (which is seriously a lifesaver). I can connect characters and places I have made and how they work together and are influenced by each other, and it really helps to have that visually in front of me. I do wish I could connect chains to chains though, it would make things much easier and be a lot more helpful. I also wish the chains had more room for the titles of how places and/or characters are connected, and also for the titles for characters and places as well. Other than that, it’s been a helpful and fun tool/outlet for my writing. I’m glad I can write my chapters in the app as well.

Yes!!
This app is freaking awesome! I haven’t had it for that long so there could be issues I just haven’t ran into but DAMMMN this app ROCKS!!!! You can do SO MANY things on just this app it’s insane. It’s very detailed and fulfills anything I need. Shoot, you can even make avatars IN the app. Fantastic :)))

Incredible!
I’m beyond shocked this app doesn’t have more ratings. I haven’t used it for the purpose of plotting a novel but for worldbuilding, if you have a large world, it’s perfect. Like, it’s truly everything you need. And the developers are always adding more and improving it. I’m on this app like daily. Very intuitive design. I never find myself thinking “I wish it had this,” because it always does!

I'd like more ability to Customize
I like this app a lot, however the rigidness with "base" settings of things like characters and places, even after paying for the premium is very frustrating. I'd like to be able to organize the way I like things, delete parts or sections I won't use or aren't relevant, and be able to add "members" section from character groups to other things like species.
