User reviews

Rip off, broken app

I was happy using this app to write with because the organization was good. Tools were intuitive and helpful- for about a week. After that, all the AI tools quit working. I only get errors saying the app can’t connect. I’ve contacted support (which they tried to hide) and haven’t got any response. They want you to pay for the tools, then it all stops working. Don’t waste your money.

Great

Been great so far and I can easily use everything in the app.

Good app Judy fix this issue please

It’s a good app it’s just that when I type a word it makes like 1 million of that same word so then I have to delete it so please fix it other then that it’s a great app.

Exiting is currently unavailable

I don't have much of a problem with this, but the saving and exiting. I am not able to leave the character arc changing or drafts for some reason. I will see if its just my setting or something. But other than that, it works perfectly fine. I really recommend this app for those who know how to navigate quickly through apps like this one.
