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!πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™

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!

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!

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.
