Reviews of Story Planner for Writers

  • I LOVE THIS APP.

    You have no idea how much time I spent scrolling in the AppStore to find this. Multiple days. This needs wayyy more attention than it gets.

    After using it, here is my review:

    The app is very easy to use, it makes brainstorming and organizing thoughts ten times easier than it was before. This app actually makes it fun for me to plan things out, a task I barely ever do. You can switch from light mode to dark, and change your main color to something else. It is very aesthetically pleasing and organized.

    This app has a section for about everything, you can even plan out specific chapters. It also has info buttons scattered around to teach you what certain terms mean for beginning writers! This app also even has a photo attachment ability where you can put images with your descriptions of scenery and characters.

    My only critique: Make it so you can add multiple images to everything and add a cover section where you can add an image for the entire piece.

    Other than that, a phenomenal app created almost flawlessly. This is a one of a kind app for a very affordable price. 10/10 recommend for all writers who need a jump on story planning.

    Developer Response

    Hi Morgan! Thank you very much for your message and feedback. I'm happy to tell you that the feature to add multiple images is already in the pipeline. The cover for projects is not in process yet, but we may add it in the future. Any further comment or suggestion, you can write us to storyplanner@liternauts.com. Your feedback is always welcome. Happy writing! :D
  • Needs to let us write stories

    Been using this app since 2019 for story planning of our VR game project, w/ a story script - worked excellent for that!

    Now in 2023…
    I am writing an interactive fiction - I wanted to write the entire story here in this app…

    Turns out, Story Planner app is not good at all for story writing. This confused me.. I assumed it did, because The App Store description, doesn't state: “not meant for actual story writing”

    The "Storyline/Premise" section misled me. It's just one row, like an Excel sheet, and other elements (project tags, Theme & Topic..etc) these all are very distracting while typing in the "Storyline/Premise"

    Why not expand it into a full blank page for focused writing when tapping on it, then shrink it back when done?

    Currently, this app seems limited to story planning. Almost like the massively popular “Anvil World Building” online program.

    Story Planner could be great for writing too, it just needs to expand into that blank writing canvas, but instead.. avoids it for whatever reason, almost as if scared.

    Fix this for a 5-star review.

    Developer Response

    Hello and thanks for your comment. Please note that we have always planned and developed Story Planner as an app to outline stories, not to write the manuscript. We are sorry that you did not understand it that way. Even so, we know that there are users who use the app to write their first draft thanks to the scene cards. If you write the text of your manuscript in the "Description" field within each scene card, you can then read or export the manuscript in Revision Mode: https://storyplanner.helpsite.com/articles/75803-how-to-use-the-revision-mode. We hope this works for you, as it does for other writers. In any case, we take note of your suggestion and will consider it in the future, in case it fits. If you have any other questions or comments, you can write to us at storyplanner@liternauts.com. We will be happy to assist you.
  • Helps this autistic/ADD woman out with writing!!!

    This is THE BEST PLANNING app for writers! The visual statistics for the scenes and plots helps me PROFOUNDLY! I LOOOVE Scrivener, but at times I can get lost in it and not focus on my planning/researching. This app helps to take out all the ADD distractions I normally get in scrivener and centralizes the meat of planning your book all while looking aesthetically pleasing! I LOOOOVE how it keeps my notes organized, because I’m a notes kind-of-gal. I write a lot of them. This app helps me to find certain notes I’m looking for with tags and color-coding (great for autism) all while keeping each note in a card with its own details! This helps sooo much!! Also, the fact that it can easily integrate with Scrivener is a HUGE plus! There are also several helpful information icons throughout that really help you to understand storytelling! If you have scrivener then I HIGHLY suggest you use this story planner app as its companion!! Especially if you struggle with storytelling due to ADD and autism!

    Thank you very much for your comment. We are very happy that Story Planner helps you with your writing!
