Awesome app, but have a suggestion
I love the app so much that I bought the membership. It’s a lot of fun to use and it makes my writing so much easier to organize, better focus, and I love how minimal it is. One of my favorite things about the app above many others is that you can use without WiFi, the choice to change the document to writing a novel formatting which looks nice when you use it-this also never crashes while I’m in the middle of writing anything!! Another feature that I’ve always enjoyed seeing is the quotes when starting a new document, or deleting one. Is there any way there could be more inspirational quotes from different authors about writing or even lines from books? The quotes tend to repeat sometimes and it would be nice to see more variety! Especially when you delete one. That would be a great addition to see in an upcoming update!Show lessBookishkittynrd52
Love this!
Writing is a passion of mine. As Lord Byron said, “If I don’t write to empty my mind, I go mad.” A quote this app actually gave me that fits me to a capital T! I used other apps to write before but I love the features this one has. I do wish it wasn’t a monthly subscription to have the beautiful features but I love it so much I’m willing to pay it. The dark theme is my favorite. It’s easier on my eyes when I’m up at 3 am because an idea won’t leave me alone.
Though, I would like to be able to touch an idea and edit it without it moving to the top of my list. I like my ideas/stories in a certain order. Possibly add a feature to organize it in a list? Or the ability to make folders and group ideas?
Either way, I have other apps but I use this one the most. Definitely worth it, if you’re an avid writer or aspiring author!Show lessRhea H
Amazing for writing!
I got Werdsmith a few weeks ago, and so far, its the best writing app I've seen! I used to just write on Notes, but I wanted an actual app because the story Im making is huge. But there is one suggestion I have. Can you guys please make a way to draw images for your stories? For the ones who dont want to draw, there can just be an option where you can draw and place the drawing wherever you want so it won't just be on the bottom of the entire story! Also, I dont know if its just for premium or not and thats why it isn't there for me, but can you guys also make a way to see other people's projects that they export on Werdsmith without sending a link? That would be nice. Other than that, amazing app, and I really suggest it to other aspiring writers! I really like the ways you can make texts bold, italic, or just for the author to see, too!

My favorite writing app
I love this app. I’ve been using it for years. I was wondering if anyone else has this issue. When I am typing on my iPad version and I want to pick it up on my phone because I’m on the go. The app crashes, in fact I have to delete the app and redownload it. I’ve done this several times and wanted to know if there was a way I could avoid having to every time.
As for upgrades this is what I like to see:
1. Time stamp for each project or idea so the writer can know when was the last time they wrote on a particular project.
2. Underneath the format tab for novel, poem, and etc. It would be great to add sub folders like chapter, outline, or footnotes so when the writer writes a back story or plot line for there writing they could click over and see the information needed I stead of constantly scrolling up and down to find it.
3. Mac version. I don’t understand why there is a Apple Watch version but not a Mac one. The link they have now to their site is okay, but it’s very limited and there is no dark mode. Which is the main reason I use this app.Show lesskrisus81
Love the app has a really annoying bug though.
When I’m writing on the app and the page gets really long I get this bug. Once I open the project or idea page I want to work on there is a button that lets me scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, but when I click the button it only send me about 3/4s of the way to the bottom, than I have to scroll the rest of the way. It isn’t to terrible it but does get annoying though when I have to switch between my ideas page and project page multiple times and I have to scroll down because the button only takes me halfway or 3/4 of the way down. Hopefully this bug is fixed in a future update.Show lessDhat_boy
Very good app but one problem...
I’ve had this app for a little while now and let me say I 100% recommend it to anyone not sure about whether writing would be a passion for them or not. I love writing and always have, and this app has made me really flourish in my writing skills. So, thank you for that!!! But one thing I’m having issues with: the glitches. I’ll be writing, and in the middle of something, and the app will randomly kick me off. It does this a lot, and typically I don’t mind it but recently it’s been a bit annoying. I don’t mean to be rude I just thought I’d see if this has been acknowledged on the app or anything. Thank you and have an amazing day!

Fantastic, mostly
This app has been great to write on overall! I like the functions and the formatting, and it has been extremely helpful and productive. The membership tiers and cost aren’t required, but are reasonable for what it is, unlike many other apps. That being said, I have one problem and one suggestion. The problem is I cannot log into my account from any other device? It never sends me any sort of email, no matter how many times I try to. I would really like to be able to write both on my laptop and mobile devices. As a suggestion, some sort of card feature or better organizational system would be nice, but it’s not required. Werdsmith beats out scrivener for me because of how welcoming and warm it is, but a few of Scrivener’s functions (like index cards) would be really helpful. Until them, I’m relegated to making physical ones again. I’d give it overall 5 stars if not for the log in issue, and would probably purchase a membership on the future.
Thank you for your time!Show lessArcanaAcid

Hello Werdsmith team,
Let me start by saying thank you for creating this app for writers. I have been trying many different apps to find the right fit and I always ended up deleting them. Writers, by nature, are fickle beings and I am no exception. It is hard as a writer to feel comfortable with and to trust an app that carries their precious world inside. Werdsmith was truly a god-sent! It really did not take me long to become a member.
For all of the perks, I have only one complaint and I am sure you know of this issue already: the novel word count and the app shutting down to the home screen. It honestly does not bother me as much as I thought it would. But that could be the fact that I don’t have to worry about losing a significant amount of work that I had done. I only lose about six words.
I will say that the app constantly shutting down and having to find my place again does disrupt the “flow.” Other than that, I would highly recommend this app to all with stories to tell.
Thank you for your time!Show lessTalesThatMustBeTold
Amazing writing app!
I love this app because I don’t have to pay a single penny to be able to write my own stories, have fun and explore my passion for writing! For instance, after I’ve finished a chapter of my story I can send the link of the app and my story to my friends so that way they can read it to! This review may sound like a robot is typing it but trust me, it’s not. I’m a very living human that is breathing and eating till this day (lol). But seriously, I really enjoy this app and if your looking for an app that will let you write your own stories, share it with friends, have/write notes, ect. (AND NOT PAY, UNLESS YOU WANT A SPECIAL FEATURE OR WHATEVER) then I highly recommend this. To end this review, I love and live for this app!Show lessMelissa Naomi R.
Absolutely amazing!
First of all, this app has probably been my favourite writing app of all time, really. I’ve tried many- and when I say many, I mean it- but non have compared to this.
I’ve been using it for a year now and I absolutely adore it. My biggest pet peeve is the fact I can’t access midnight mode, since I do tend to write my stories very late in the night (8Pm-3AM) and I have to put up with putting eye drops in my eyes every 2 minutes because my eyesight is horrible. I have a big imagination, and I don’t like having limited projects but that isn’t a big problem of mine, since it helps me not procrastinate so much. I recently bought the membership and my laptop, now fixed, after an eternity of having it broken, actually has more use to it.
If anyone is starting out in writing, or even a long time author, I highly recommend this app. It’s amazing, and the controls are easy to get the hang of (as well as the amazing text size option, I find myself being able to write better with smaller text).
And, I would like to point out the French. Most apps have terrible translations, but this I find I can actually read without having a headache, which is great for me because I am a native French. Again, great app!Show lessSweg grandpa genius
