I just got it yesterday, and it seems to be working really well! The ONLY thing is, is that sometimes it’s hard to know what different buttons are. But that’s all! You get used to it anyway. So I’m writing a book called Holding On, and this app makes it so much easier for me to write it, DEFINITELY RECOMMEND IT. ### 4/5 — Ok *2026-01-19, version 4.8* It’s kinda hard to control but once you get used to it it’s a pretty nice app. ### 3/5 — Cool but… *2025-11-08, version 4.8* This app will not let me download any images. It is pretty good otherwise. I went on settings to try to fix it but still would not work??? Does anyone else have this issue or is it just me. ### 4/5 — I wrote a novel on this *2025-08-11, version 4.8* A few years back, in 2023, I downloaded this app, tired of Google Docs, not yet having gotten Word. I was (and am) still a kid but I really wanted to be an author and I had this great idea for a book. I created a new book after some fiddling around and starting writing my novel. Fast forward one year and I was done. Fast forward a few months and I had completed some editing. I used this app in a really basic way. New page+new text box+type. It was easy and effective. But there are some issues: I would be writing and once I was done, I would go to click “done” and accidentally click outside the text box or “cancel”. I would go back to the blank page, my writing from that text box lost. The back button didn’t get it back and that writing was lost forever. I lost some impressive and critical pieces of writing that way. I understand it would, on occasion, be helpful to cancel a text box when it contained witting you don’t want - but an easy, risk-free way would just to get rid of this feature and make it so you can delete text boxes the usual way. Page limit. I understand the page limit for this. If a book exceeds 500 pages, it would be hard for a non-traditional publishing company to publish it. However, nowhere online or in the app itself does it warn you of this. I finished my book and it was 575 pages. And I couldn’t publish it. However, by then, I switched to Google Docs and later Word and that was where I edited, formatted and published my novel (I had nothing properly against this app, I just wanted a slighlty more detailed formatting experience). Lack of key features. There is no find and replace in this app, nor is there an easy way to copy and paste the entirety of your book into another document. A teacher asked me to put my novel into a Google Doc so they could read it and I had to copy and paste each page one by one. All 575 of them. Also (and I know this would be hard to build in), if you accidentally deleted a text box, flipped the page by accident, the back button resets, and that deleted text box is gone. The first issue is by far the greatest. However, regardless of issues, I wrote a novel on this. I spent a year writing it, and though it’s in no way perfect, Violet Nightingale: Out Of The Nest would not be on Amazon without it. ### 4/5 — Easy fun but *2025-07-25, version 4.8* Can’t draw and I’m a good drawer ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2025-07-15, version 4.8* I really like it but sometimes I don’t like typing and what’s with all the tittles everywhere ### 5/5 — Good *2025-05-11, version 4.8* I like but wen I accidentally click off it restarts ### 3/5 — Cookie books!!!!123😃 *2025-04-27, version 4.8* It is a very good to use ...but when I go to change a the theme it just❄️❄️ freezes ### 5/5 — futer update- spring 025 *2025-04-06, version 4.8* age rating's| 7 or 7+ or tv-y7 or tv-y7-fv or pg or go pg13 or tv14 contnent rating- language or negitive's or positive's should be atleast in an update ### 4/5 — A fun app *2025-03-22, version 4.8* It is a fun app to use. ### 5/5 — I’m impressed *2025-03-10, version 4.8* I’m just getting started on my autobiography and this app is amazing. It is so helpful, easy to use and I love that you can add your own pictures. I am hoping that it works as good when it’s time to print my book. Thanks ### 5/5 — I like it but onley one compliment *2025-01-25, version 4.8* I’m an an kid I’m not telling my age but I’m a kid and wen I am older I wanna be an author and this is the best app for it im gunu write Non pitchure book because I don’t like those books but i Need pitchures for the covor my compament is it doesn’t have A search so if I need something and it’s not there I can’t search It I’m frustrating im making a book that is my favorte game Baste on but there’s no seatch bro but you are my 2nd favorte App can you fix this? ### 5/5 — Best Book making game ever! *2025-01-22, version 4.8* I would really recommend this app as no bugs or glitches OR paying!You can pretty much write anything down,from yearbooks to story books or photo books and you can add anything to your stories and even change the size of the paper! I honestly think I might become an author now and you can print out your story once your finished.That’s why I think this is The Best Book Making App Ever! ### 5/5 — Amazing app!!! Would definitely recommend *2024-12-18, version 4.8* I was almost done writing my story, and needed to print it out. I have downloaded multiple apps to help write it all down, but this one is by far the best! The only issue I have had is that there have been a couple glitches, and when I click on the text size it goes white so I have to click on random things. ❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — So great 😍🥰😘 *2024-12-10, version 4.8* Happy merry Christmas 🎄 ### 3/5 — For kids *2024-11-25, version 4.8* Seems ok for kids. I’m a writer seeing if there are decent free writing apps. Looks like you self publish and sale you books through the app. Again, seems good for kids but not for serious writers. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The hunt for the cuckoo clock *2026-02-11, version 4.8* Very difficult to use the app, pictures are not easy to align level, the ‘grid’ is far too dark to see the pictures let alone trying to match up. The border seemed a nice touch around the picture however when published it merges with other picture borders that are too close together and the app doesn’t tell you. In all very poor understanding the app with no help and finally no communication about the book being delivered or posted on to you. ### 1/5 — To hard to understand *2025-07-20, version 4.8* The app says 4+ and i am 9 but it is just so tricky to understand. When i click the template it takes me out of the app. Do NOT get this app. ### 1/5 — Upset with order *2025-07-14, version 4.8* I made a family photos book for the year it was easy to make but that was not the problem… It took a very long time to get shipped AND it was mixed with someone else’s book in a different language it was scary for me and my parents we DO NOT want some one else to have access to our family photos. Disappointed in printing mistake deleted app. ### 1/5 — Never get this app *2024-10-09, version 4.8* It has so many problems with it, I don’t even know where to begin. I couldn’t even color on it or even make a story because it says the book is “copyrighted” when I literally just chose a frame and went 2 pages forward. This app is a scam, do stay away from it and don’t trust the 4 or 5 star reviews. This app can’t even be called an app because they’re misleading when they say “free book creator” since you can’t even make one until you get gold membership apparently. If that’s not proof of it being a scam, I don’t know what is. ### 1/5 — Just horrible *2024-09-25, version 4.8* I don’t like it like why don’t they have chapter books ### 1/5 — Impossible to transfer to kdp *2024-08-28, version 4.8* Impossible to transfer to kdp to see, there. ### 1/5 — Why *2024-05-15, version 4.8* This is a horrible app I can’t write any book it’s just mah ### 1/5 — Cannot Sign up *2023-12-19, version 4.8* For some reason, there is no way to sign up. The fields for entering password and email address are not clickable. Please look into this, Cheers. ### 1/5 — No app support page will not load *2023-11-21, version 4.8* App support link will not load .please fix it I have 5 written books to upload ### 1/5 — I don’t know how too print *2023-07-27, version 4.8* There’s just so many buttons I don’t even know how too print my book like I press every button I just don’t no how too print so I write it 1 star if you show me how too print I’ll write it a 5 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pretty cool to use, I’ve written 2 children’s books *2026-05-15, version 4.8* Ive enjoyed this app, it was easy to add my own hand drawn art and also create in the app ### 5/5 — I’m counfused *2026-05-11, version 4.8* This app is great but Theres this thing you see Ì already wrote the book on notes before I had this so I copy and pasted it but then it tuned red snd and a !
