### 1/5 — A lot broken then ever

*2026-01-06, version 4.924*

Do not buy/use. You also have to FREAKING PAY FOR EVERY PAGE YOU DO!!!!!!!!💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

### 1/5 — Bad

*2024-12-07, version 4.922*

You only get to write one book

### 1/5 — I hate it I’m already having problems

*2024-07-08, version 4.922*

Problems

### 1/5 — What the heck!?!?!?

*2024-04-10, version 4.922*

Ok so when I first got in to the app it asked for photos...  And I don't want photos in my book! I just hate it ALREADY.  So yeah it's not worth it.

### 1/5 — They’ve made this deliberately frustrating

*2021-12-13, version 4.916.1*

At first it seemed an intelligently designed app and I even paid for either this or its brown version. But the developer made this deliberately frustrating. Wastes your time and EVERYTHING disappears

### 1/5 — HATE HATE HORRIBLE

*2021-10-23, version 4.910*

Can only do one book?Are you kidding me?

### 1/5 — Better than I expected...I thought so anyways

*2021-04-29, version 4.910*

Downloading and playing around with this app was an emotional rollercoaster. I had really low hopes for this app because of the poor reviews and the 2.5 stars. But then when I got into the app and started playing around with it. You see, I’m writing a short manga type story and I need software that’ll allow me to move around my pictures that I drew and move around text boxes. This app is great for that part...and I got a whole page done. But then I realized I made it on the cover of the book. And there was no way for me to change that at all. I figured I could just try to make a new book and start from scratch, nope. I was requested to upgrade to premium if I wanted to make another book. But I’m not looking to invest in an app like this. But after that I didn’t lose hope in the app, I tried to delete the book template I had already started on, but it wouldn’t even let me delete that. That’s when I decided this app wasn’t worth it. The negatives outweighs the positives. 
On another note, this app is laid out very simply and childishly. The  editing options are huge, they take up at least an inch of my screen at the bottom and it’s very distracting and annoying. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just flustered.

### 5/5 — Versi 4.910

*2021-01-24, version 4.910*

Fix it please! Or at least restore it to the version before. I can't copy, paste, add text, and even lost some part of my page. Help me!
I like this writing app a lot and i've been use it for nearly 8 years by now. It's really heartbreaking to find my broken page.

### 5/5 — It’s kinda good

*2021-01-19, version 4.910*

Yeah I rate it 4 because you STILL have to pay to create another book after ur first one. This app is a bit like “Book Creator One” but it’s “Book Writer One”. It’s still good for other people but if ur a fan of this app ur ok to ignore this review. But for the haters PLS don’t hate dis app. I LOVE IT IF I SAY I LOVE IT! And also for the fans. Do you know what I actually rate this 5 stars just for the fans. Happy new year tho 2021 IS HERE WOOOH!!!!

### 2/5 — WHY?!

*2020-12-28, version 4.910*

when I push the plus button: IT EXITS ME OUT OF THE APP

I JUST WANNA MAKE A BOOK PEOPLE! AND NONE OF THE APPS HERE ON THE APP STORE ARE GOOD!!! 😡
