No native iPad app
I truly don’t understand how an app designed for serious writing isn’t iPad compatible. Very disappointing
Good, but needs a few changes
Overall a perfect app for organizing thoughts. Pretty easy to use but a bit limiting. For example, you cannot create your own modules. I tried to create a race module because I wanted different information to be in the species and culture tabs. You cannot create custom attributes for some of the modules either. They do a super good job making sure you have a lot of what you’d already need, but it would be nice to be able to name and create your own things and put sliders/text/numbers in yourself. Plus, the numbers option (like for weight or age) is a bit limited. You can only put a number and no characters. So I can’t put 5’5 feet or 1-4 offspring. You can work around this a BIT but less restriction would be nice. Otherwise, good app. Love all the options they put in already

IM LOWKEY ADDICTED
ok so i've needed somewhere to put all my character + story info for a LONG time. i used to organize it in a discord server but this app has made it SO much more convinient. i love that there are SO many types of elements of the story you can log. and each of those have even more details!! i do have some minor issues with recommendations though... FIRST, i really wish there was something to log a sickness/virus that is unique to your story. its a bug part of mine and it would be really cool to have a slot for that. SECOND i kinda wish there was some place where you could see all your elements mapped out and connected, not just in a list. THIRD. the coloring system. its a little janky. i'd like if you could just make palletes instead of having to pass through the default one and the wheel to get to your saved colors. LASTLY. just a few technical issues or glitches, the app can be slow to change colors or other aspects of elements and stuff. OKAY THATS IT. THAT STUFF ASIDE, I LOVE THIS APP ITS SO SO FUN RAAA !!!

The.Best.Writing.App.Of.All.TIME!!!
This app is perfect I love writing my novels and putting all the character info and stuff I don’t see why ppl are giving bad reviews like it’s perfect but maybe they’re using desktop and not iPad but I do have a problem with changing my display name and username bc whenever I press the purple checkmark it doesn’t save it so now I’m stuck w Shi and Creamy_tsr161 or something pls fix this bug! But anyway, TY this is the best writing app of all time!

iPad functionality?
This app is really great. I just wish it worked better on an IPad. My option is see is the size of a phone screen or use it in the browser. Both defeat the purpose of using the app with my iPad.
one thing missing
i love campfire! great for writing but it would be 10/10 if the scene went sideways. i like writing with the screen vertical too but horizontal just feels better. other then that i love it!
Almost good
The app seems like it would be good, if it had proper tablet support. It's stuck in a phone's screen ratio, and when I write with an apple pencil, the editing tools that are usually at the top of the keyboard get stuck in the middle of the screen, effectively making it so that I can't write more than a paragraph or two.

Would be great if it didn’t crash
The versatility of the app is great. Good for staying organized and easy to jump into to jot down ideas. Unfortunately, the app crashes CONSTANTLY you will lose work you thought was safe and it is very frustrating. Happened almost every time I switch between two projects. Desktop app is much better. I may switch to a different platform if they can’t fix this issue soon.

THIS IS A SCAM COMPANY
The product is great, but if you subscribe it is genuinely the hardest service to unsubscribe from by design.
There is no way to manage your account payments in the app, and no option for it online either. I went through their help page and even that did not give a real answer and directed toward menu options that didn’t exist. I only got to the page after guessing the URL.
Then, while trying to cancel they place a popup to try and entice you to stay with a discount, and the UI intentionally makes it so you cannot click the button to cancel. It took me 20 minutes of adjusting text size to make it work.
Maybe it is doable on a computer, but if you are working off of a phone, DO NOT SUBSCRIBE unless you plan on never changing it for the rest of your life.
It’s a bummer too, as the product seems good and I liked some of the payment options, but the insane cancelation process is genuinely predatory and I lost all the goodwill I had toward this company.
The product is nice, the company is a scam.

iPad Support
I would like you to add iPad Support to this app since I feel like a lot of people would like to use it on a device like an iPad to write. Also it can be used to help with creativity with the Apple Pencil as well.
Good. But disappointed
I really like campfire a lot. Especially the app on the PC and it looks good enough on my phone for quick stuff, but when I’m writing on my iPad Pro its a bit disappointing because it still keeps it in that phone sort of mode where it takes up less than half the screen. I really wish the iPad version of the app was more like the desktop app so that when I’m writing on my lunch break or something I can just open the app and start writing more easily without being connected to the internet. Hoping that they are working on something, but either way this is still a great resource for writers like me.

How about an offline version for travel? Also fix the login!
How about making an offline mode for those who are traveling? Other apps and services have that and it seems a useful thing to have. Also need to fix sync and add the ability to pull photos from other locations than your device.
Good but lots of glitches
It’s a great concept except it glitches any time I try to edit an attribute it’ll not work so I can only fill in half the items on my list…
Good just a lil annoying
You can’t rearrange the timeline events every time you try to, the moment you click out and back in, all the timeline prices are jumbled up again as well as you can’t name timelines. Just little annoying things
Glitch
Every time I try to add a “Manuscript” attribute, it kicks me out of the app and sends me back to my home screen. This only recently started, but I’ve been using campfire for about a year now, and it’s awesome, but it never did this before and this is a persistent problem. I don’t know if it’s just my phone or what; I dont believe it’s my phone because it’s fully updated. But please find a way to fix this! Thank you!!!!

Unusable
I was able to use the app just fine but after the update I can’t even open a character profile or chapter without it completely shutting down and kicking me out of the app. I really liked the app and all the stuff in it but literally cannot use it.

Suggestion
When making characters, there should be an option to apply all attributes to all characters. So if you did like 44 attributes for one character and you don’t want to have to apply all 44 manually, you should be able to apply those same ones to that character.
Pretty good
I like this app a lot! But sometimes it’ll reset all my stories and I can’t get them back.
