### 3/5 — 구글 계정 로그인이 안됩니다

*2026-01-31, version 1.1.5*

휴대폰과 아이패드 둘 다 사용하고 있는데, 로그인 하려고 보니까 계속 튕깁니다 제 기기 문제인걸까요?

### 5/5 — 구글 로그인/회원가입 불가

### 4/5 — Very good, but needs a couple touch ups

*2024-06-30*

I recently started a very heavy writing project and was looking all over the entire App Store for a decent app to put everything down while also keeping it organised; this happened to be just the one. Thus far it’s been really easy to use and a MASSIVE help even though I haven’t been using the app for long. However, I’ve noticed the "share" feature doesn’t seem to work and also, at least for Character Files, the titles keep resetting back to “empty title". Aside from that, no complaints.

**Developer response:** Hello.
Sorry for the late reply.
First, the issue of titles being reset has been resolved in version 1.1.2.
If you are still experiencing the problem, please update the app to the latest version.
The sharing function in the offline tab (mobile phone icon) is a function that saves or shares in file format.
To make this more convenient, we created a real-time synchronization between PC, phone and tablet in the Online tab (globe icon).
Content written in the offline tab can also be uploaded to the online tab.
We're also working on a feature that will allow you to share your notes with others in the Online tab. (Of course, this only applies if you set the note to public)
We look forward to showing it to you within this month.
I hope you have a nice day.
Thank you for the review.

**Developer response:** Hello,
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Because we have released a new version, FolderStory has stopped accepting new subscriptions.
