Leave a Review Werdsmith
it WAS AMAZING… but the update…
i’ve used werdsmith for 4 years, maybe even more. absolutely love this app. it’s everything i’ve needed in a writing app and while i completely support the paid subscription for werdsmith, the free amenities are plenty!! one of my favorite apps
and then like, 3 days ago, the app updated. i get it, apps update, but it was such a jarring change that i wasn’t expecting. change of the IU, nothing too drastic, okay, i can live with it. but the font size keeps changing, smaller then larger then smaller. and there’s problems in the formatting. and my app has crashed 2 times, when before i’ve never had it crash once in 4 years
if there is a way to revert the app back to the previous version, at least until the kinks are worked out for the newer one, i’d be happy with that. still love werdsmith over google docs or microsoft word for writing, but something feels off and it’s bugging me bad🤕Show lessTigerGrl01010
Developer Response
Hi there, so sorry about these issues. We had to update the app to support the new iOS but this has introduced some unexpected issues. We’ve done three updates in the last few days to sort most of these out and there’ll be another one in the next day. All the remaining issues should be ironed out in the week or two. Please feel free to email us through the app’s Help section if you find any more issues, this really helps us resolve them quickly. Once again, I’m so sorry for this and thanks for your patience. -NathanLove this app
I really like Werdsmith. It has amazing features and it’s easy to use. I’ve started writing my first book on it. I don’t have any complaints. I like that the developers respond to the reviews and I hope that they see this one. I wish that the app had a read back feature so you can hear your story. This feature could help with proof reading. I like to hear my stories read aloud because it gives me the chance to change things. You guys are doing such a great job, that I want to help out. A feature you could charge for is access to an AI assistant. If you could pair with ChatGPT or maybe even Meta that would be a good selling point. I use AI to help with my writing. I use it to find the perfect setting, research, ideas, character descriptions, and even names. I think it would be a great addition. I hope you guys see this. Wishing you guys the best of luck! Keep up the good work 😁Show lessDimepearl08
A great app for any aspiring author!
As someone who loves writing stories, this app has helped a lot with editing manuscripts and the AI is perfect and on-point. If you are struggling with defeating writer’s block, I strongly recommend this app. However, I don’t think this is the app to publish books; this is more of an app to edit and cure writer’s block. The AI is great, but I am about to say something very controversial. I think it is actually good that the app requires you to pay after using up thirty prompts, because then the AI doesn’t completely take over your entire writing style, because it is good not to bend your fictional stories to accommodate brilliant words. I am a young author who loves writing dystopian and horror stories; I am interested a lot in that genre. I really don’t have any negativity about this app. It’s resourceful, innovative, creative, helpful, fun, and positive. I love this app, and, if you are someone who loves to write but dislikes writer’s block, you will too! I one hundred percent recommend!Show lessDoggo_On_Vr
Great app for writing ANYTHING!
I’ve used Werdsmith for many years now and truly enjoy its simplicity and convenience. I literally write anything and everything there…thoughts, ideas, podcasts, books, poems, etc. It allows me to house my projects and ideas to finish writing in the future. I also like the daily writing “ritual” feature with word count. Werdsmith has improved a lot over the years. I chose to stick with them & keep them as my “go-to” writing app because it’s clean, simple & a fun writing space. I don’t really need the ghost writing features but can certainly see where it could be useful for some. I do not like monthly or annual subscriptions but believe the developers should be financially supported. I prefer a one-time or multi-year upgrade for major updates, especially since I’m more of an intermittent & casual writer, not producing books on a regular basis. Great app!Show lessVGMonroe
IN LOVE
I absolutely LOVE this app!! I have almost finished writing my first book with the help of Werdsmith. I love how organized it keeps all your work, as an author it can get difficult to keep up with everything and this app makes it so much easier. However, not being able to subscribe and get ghostwriter and other tools is tough, and the app serves almost no purpose other than organization. I think there should be more than 30 free prompts in the free version. Also, I wish it were easier to use italics, like google docs where you only press one button and boom, italics. I also wish there was a template for a book outline, it’s so challenging to create an outline for your book, and I feel like it would draw more new authors like me if there was an app to guide them through the whole process. Also a space in which you could share your writing with the Werdsmith community to get feedback and advice would be super helpful.
There’s my input, thank you Werdsmith!Show lessThe_Author42
Absolutely perfect, just two problems I’m hoping to figure out.
Werdsmith is absolutely amazing. I’m almost a teenager and hoping-if possible- to finish this book I’ve been working on for awhile, and publishing my own copy to have, of course with the help of my parents and a publishing agency. But I’m not sure how to connect it to real pages and being able to publish for myself, and my friends. I’ve gone over all the buttons, and I’m wondering if I’ll have to rewrite (possibly by hand) my book and connect it to another app. I’m sure I’ll figure it out though, plus ghost type is amazing! it has given me a lot of ideas that I reword and use in my book. Honestly I love everything about this app. But this one time I got hacked so I was forced to delete Werdsmith for a week. When I came back my whole other story was gone. Which had atleast a couple thousand words. I understand that once you delete the app most of your progress is gone. But the thing is I’ve deleted this app before but my stories were saved. Is it because of the hacking? Is not could this be fixed? Otherwise everything about Werdsmith is amazing, thank you and I hope this helped some people.Show lessMousey_sisters

If you want a free writing app this app is perfect. You don’t have to pay to use almost all of the apps features. You can get some extra things if you choose to support the creators but you don’t have to. You have to pay to do more than a certain amount of projects but I normally store most of my short works somewhere else and work on my big projects on the app because it is better for novel writing. It is also good for poems but it doesn’t have a short story option. I do wish they added one or are going to add one in the future. But in my opinion there are no problems with the app and it isn’t a pay to use type of app which I think is nice. If you can it is nice to support apps like this but if you can’t pay you can use it for free which I appreciate. Also it says it values privacy which I love. So in my opinion if you are looking for a free app try this and see if it fits your writing needs.Show lessMichelle223c
Chapter 3, going on chapter 4!
Okay, this app is amazing! I originally had started writing in a notebook but since the first sentence I wrote, I changed my story entirely and I’m glad I did, I love my story now! Everyday, I look forward to writing my book and I’m always letting ideas spill out. I would recommend this app to people who are interested in writing stories or books for sure!
One bug I’ve been experiencing is that I’ve used all my prompts even though it’s been my first time opening the app that day. This has been going on since the start of the year. It’s really annoying because I’ve just ended chapter 2 and I’m just sitting here blank minded on how to start chapter 3. In chapter 2, a small fight happened between 2 characters and at the end they all sat in silence. I’m really stuck on how to start it and I keep waiting every day until it lets me use the prompts for that day. But it never has since the start of the year, it’s just been saying “You’ve used up all your prompts” every time I’m on the app for the first time that day.
I have a suggestion I thought of while writing this and it’s to let other people see your writing so far and see others writing and give feedback like what they could improve, some ideas, etc. Make sure that we can also reduce the negativity as much as possible since that would make us less motivated. But just a suggestion. :)
Thank you for reading this (if you did) and have a splendid day/noon/afternoon/evening!Show lessHidden_Wolf2446
It is amazing but…
The AI is amazing and everything is so simple from everything to nothing we all make great books with this app and I feel as if we all could share our books with each other this app would be the best thing since books were invented we all need reviews on how our story is formatted and the story line what we need to work on more and we all need to share our favorite stories that we have made and everyone can relate to the story I think that would be the only thing this app needs everything else is chefs kiss and if we could make covers for our stories that would be great but not needed as much as us all sharing with each other if a famous author has a good story and wants to share to see what other writer would love that would be splendid and not even the people that do that for a job just people the public but everything else is the best thing ever and the AI looks at what you are writing and actually catches on giving me ideas if I’m stuck. And also I want to leave this review on a good note so thank you for everything you have done for us and our community this is a calming experience that nobody should miss.Show lessi am mad!!!! 😡
