Came back and was disappointed
Over all it is generally quite good, but most features are only for people who pay for Pro. I’ve been using Pages recently instead, but I came back and discovered that the family tree feature had been added. So I made a new account and stuff, then went and tried to make a family tree, but what the update hadn’t said was that you have to pay for Pro just to make a family tree. Really disappointed by that because I’ve been looking forwards to this feature for ages and now can’t access it. Honestly I think at this point I’d say that Pages is better 😕

I wish It was easier to navigate
(Not sure what happened to my other review so this is another one)
Anywho I really love this app it helps me keep track of my OCS, my story, everything. I love it. The only downside I can think of is that its confusing at times. For example, sometimes I'm just not sure where anything is on the app and it takes me a minute to find it. So I guess im saying I wish it was easier to use? (Even though its already pretty easy lol) but yea. It's a great app 5/5 i totally recommend!!!!!!!!

My review
This is a great app it’s helped me sort and organise everything and it’s super easy to work!!
I love it, but..
WHY IS FAMILY TREE A PREMIUM FEATURE?? THATS LITERALLY A KEY PART OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. Imma have to stick with the classic board setting to make it or just get a whole different app to do it, I hate that
Problem with new Family Tree Feature
I’m not typically so upset about these things, but the fact that the family tree is behind a paywall is infuriating. There’s no reason for it to be behind one, and yes, I understand the app must make money SOMEHOW but I feel like only customization features like changing the app logo, or theme and things that don’t have anything to do with storytelling should be behind a paywall. I suppose I can always just find a new storytelling app.

Best OC organisation app / site
Been using Fortelling for a good half a year now and the way everything is grouped, laid out and organised is super intuitive and convenient. It beats all the other sites like Character Hub by a mile (though I still do love Character Hub for its discoverability)
A little sad the web version is subscription only, but honestly the price is worth it if it’s used regularly.

Great!
I love this app but it doesn’t have all the options to store the different type of information for my story (etc: if I have lore I just want to write down I cant) besides that it is great! It has challenges to strengthen your writing skills and many options for your story! Would recommend
So much help
This app has helped me world build my stories so much
THE BEST!💙💙💙
I absolutely LOVE this app! I’m an aspiring author and it has helped me organize multiple story plots, characters, stories, and so much more!!
Trust me, it is more than worth it!
Trust me, it is more than worth it!
Get this app!!!!
I am a young writer who recently finished my first 80k word novel, and I am currently in the developmental editing phases. I got this app thinking I could maybe write some facts about my characters in it or something like that. Turns out it was much much more than that. writing, statistics, timeline, characters, groups, locations, species items, languages boards, and files all managed in the same place along with chapter organization, scene, organization, and detailed character descriptions. This is an all-in-one app beyond anything I have ever seen before! I haven’t even used that many of the writing privileges because I started writing on Word before I even got to this app and I’m kind of upset that I didn’t because of the outstanding scene organization! The fact that your projects can have multiple books inside of them is a HUGE plus because of the fact that your charecters and details are saved in every book for you to look at while writing!!!!! I’m going to. wrap up this review, but I haven’t even said half of the amazing features this app has. GET FORTELLING!

Invisible Story
Copied text from a text editor & pasted it. Realized the color of the text is black & the background of Foretelling is black. I selected all the text & selected different colors, but the hi lighted text remains black.
Everything I could hope for
I have began writing as a side passion project and have no formal training or guidance beyond what you learn in English comp in school. This app has helped me identify important aspects I was overlooking when it was just me and Microsoft word. It has everything I could hope for in one easy to use app. I love it!

FANTASTIC
WOW!!! I keep discovering features that are exactly what I need. I’ve been struggling trying to find a way to plot my novel, and I’ll consider it a miracle I found this app!! It’s perfect!! And I have it on my iPad and my phone
Pretty epic
Gets the job done. I honestly just felt bad for never leaving reviews and since I think this app is genuinely good, I say I’m all here for it. It’s good to jot down oc things that are difficult to keep track of in your head or in your notes app.
best writing app
ive used so many writing apps and platforms and this one is by far the best! so many features this app has for free is expensive on many other platforms. it's also amazing for worldbuilding!
Limited
Why do I need to pay for a description that is SUPPOSED to be long (and the app is confusing anyway)
Completely amazing!
This app has been so good for me as a young writer! The challenges are incredible! I love all the features that you get for free. I also love that you can comment and encourage other writers and also colab with them and talk! It’s the most amazing writing app I’ve ever had.
The one thing I could say would be a feature where you can publish your own book. But apart from that suggestion I love this app and give it five stars. Totally try it.

Amazing! One suggestion though
This app is so useful. I definitely recommend but I would like to be able to have a pen option in the boards section so I could freestyle easily write notes instead of text. Pls do this and thx for considering my idea.
Get this app!!!!
I am a young writer who mostly does fantasy, dystopian, and romance. I was looking for something in which i could organize my thoughts and try to get facts down about my world when I came across fortelling. I assumed it was like any other app-laggy on a phone, formatted weird, pay to use-but i was amazingly surprised when I opened the app and it looked amazing! Organized interface, detailed charecter plans, multiple story timelines and plots, planning, web charts, photos, and writing all in one place for unlimited use on a phone! No downsides that I can see!

Ok
It’s quite good I guess, but not like stand out good otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. I like the timeline feature and the fact it counts my words, but it’s a bit over complicated and there have been some bugs. I keep wanting to add a new chapter on this particular story I’m writing, but every time it just doesn’t load and it’s fine in my other stories. Plus the story I’m writing includes language translations, but I don’t know how to do this cause I can’t do a little space and write the English underneath cause the spaces are far to big and I can’t find a way to change this. Apart from this it’s ok.
A couple of months later…
Ok now I have really got to know the app, it is officially AMAZING! I now understand how it works and am loving the weekly challenges!
