Leave a Review Werdsmith
Good app, just a personal preference
The app is good sure, the concept of the whole ghostwriting system better, and I haven’t had any bugs or issues with the app. The only reason it’s only 4 stars is because I think the ghostwriting prompts are a bit too expensive, but if you have the money spend it, it’s worth it, though you don’t really need it, and I also think the free prompt amount is a bit low, but I mainly just use the app to store and work on the stuff I’m writing, as paper gets ruined and lost easily, notes doesn’t have word count like Werdsmith, and wattpad can be unreliable to keep it saved as a draft as I’ve heard of them getting deleted and I don’t want that to happen. Overall good app, so 4 stars are deserved, but if I could give 4 and a half I definitely would, but that’s not how the feedback system works unfortunately.Show lessilikepastels
Needs a copy/paste feature that counts towards words written
Most of this app is wonderful. The one feature that would make this 5 stars would be if you could copy/paste into this app and have it count for words you’ve written that day. I end up writing snippets of writing across multiple platforms (notes app, google docs, tumblr, etc), and it would be nice to be able to write something on a different app and then paste it into Werdsmith and have it actually count to the words you’ve written that day, since they were written that day, just on a different platform. Especially if it’s several hundreds of words long, having to retype it all is time consuming just to hit that ‘word count’ goal.Show lessBex Jasmine
A few suggestions…
This app is wonderful and makes me want to write more. The quotes are inspiring and the reminders remind me to write, which gets my creative side going. However, there are little things I suggest. First of all the “Ghostwriter” tool is absolutely incredible, and I am stunned by how the app almost completely matches what I am writing about. I get writers block several times, and this helps take it away. However, I would like there to be able to have more than 30 usages. Sometimes I will accidentally press the button, which will take away one of my usages. I understand if you don’t want to do that, but I strongly suggest to have at least 45-50. I would also love for this to be available on MAC! Thanks for this wonderful app that makes me a better writer!Show less🆂🅻🅾︎🆃🅷🆈🅱︎🅴🅰︎🆁
Best Writing Tool I’ve Ever Used, but I have some suggestions
I started getting back into writing this year, so I went for the easiest and quickest writing medium at the time: Apple Notes. Not saying there’s anything wrong with it,but it didn’t give me half as much use as this has. Not only is the customization that comes along with it, you get Ghostwriter, which has basically stopped my writers block. Now,I do think some things would be cool:
1: If you ever decided to do i major update,I would think a good place to start is a way for you to view others material. Like a switch that makes your thing public or private. People could use a menu to scroll through stories and screenplays and read what they like.
2: Smaller Update Wise, I think a way to undo deleted files. Like let’s say I accidentally deleted the book I’ve been writing, something would pop up and as me if I want to undo it. Or you could add a menu to view recently deleted stuff and undo it.
Amazing App,Changed how I write, 10/10.Show lessHoly_Ninja183
Pretty solid, but could do with a little feature adjustments.
I enjoy using this app, and have been using it to draft stories with the addition of the help of the ghostwriter feature. I like how it’s concise in design to keep distractions to a minimum.
However, the one thing I dislike the most about the app is sometimes the ghostwriter feature won’t give you a prompt, but will still use one of your allotted prompts for the month. If it’s not going to give a prompt, it shouldn’t be punishing the user for an error on its part.
Otherwise, pretty solid app - I especially like that I can export my drafts and such to my co-writers for editing feedback.Show lesshowmanyboos
Really frustrating
I really like using this app I found it recently and decided to give it a try I started off 30 ghost write prompts the same day I downloaded the app I didn’t write anything I just downloaded and looked around when I came back 2-3 days later it said all the prompts where gone before I even wrote anything so then I actually started writing so I tried to get the free trial and some additional Prompts however 2-3 days after I logged back on and all 160 of my ghostwriter prompts where gone and I never even got to use any of them and I tried sending an email but never got a response from anyone so I just give up at this point I like the app overall but it makes you pay to use every feature and the price for a subscription is extremely high and they offer the free trial but most likely you’ll still lose your prompts and never get to use anything like what happened to me.Show lessItsJustHoney
10/10 would write steddie fics with this again
This is the best writing app I’ve tried, and I’ve probably tried a dozen easily. As of now I’ve only used the free version but plan to subscribe to the paid soon because I want more space but even the free version is great!
I love that it doesn’t just have a word counter but also a word goal, it definitely keeps me motivated. The whole thing is easy to use, but still has enough helpful features. I can’t say there’s anything missing.
Full disclaimer, I only use this to write fanfiction so maybe I have a different opinion than people who are writing original novels, but I still recommend giving this app a try!Show lessabbieve
Great app!
I’ve been a user since 2012 and I love it! It’s simple and easy to use and I love that I can edit across all my devices. I also love the portfolio feature; I can share my work with my editor or my friends without having to send them an entire document.
One thing that does bother me though, is that the app no longer works on Apple Watch. I can’t even download it. It’s very disappointing! I used to use speech to text to get down rough ideas with my watch, and now I can’t do that anymore. Can we get an update restoring Apple Watch functionality? Please?
Despite the Apple Watch troubles, this is my favorite app to write with and I highly recommend it.Show lessTasuku Tsukimori
Love the app, but….
This app is absolutely amazing, and I love everything about it. I’m currently using it to draft out my first legitimate book, and couldn’t be happier. It’s layout is simple, easy to understand, and exceptionally clean to the eye in a way that makes me fall deeper in love with it every time I open it up.
My one complaint would be the lack of a dark mode option when it comes to themes. I know that it automatically syncs with the preset display and brightness of whatever device that I’m using, but I would very much enjoy the option of choosing a more permanent dark mode if I could.Show lessFreerunner4427
Why is the cursor stuck at the bottom!
I was really enjoying this app as I was browsing around it and starting to do some writing, until my neck got cramped from looking at the bottom of the screen, where the cursor remains. I don’t understand why a simple feature isn’t standard on writing apps. It’s an issue with Word, which is why I’m hunting for something else. I didn’t much like Ulysses, but this app is nice. It just needs a typewriter mode, or whatever it’s called. The cursor needs to be at the top 1/3 of the screen, or make an option for adjustment. No one wants to look down. It’s terrible ergonomics, especially when you’re using an iPad, because if you’re on a couch or something, you’re already looking down, which puts stress on the neck. Please add in this feature, and you’ll have a long time subscriber.Show lessBond rankling
