Can’t Imagine Writing Without It

I’m writing my first novel. LivingWriter has been priceless to me. I use it on four different devices: A laptop, desktop, iPhone and iPad. Switching between them has been priceless. The features are more than enough to keep your work organized and to keep you inspired. If you plan on hopping between devices, make sure you close out your work beforehand. Overall, this writing app is highly recommended.

Good for beginners

Good for beginners and demo books, but not real books. No issues though.

Immediate Crash

The web application has worked well so far, so I downloaded the app for my Macbook Air M1. Once logging in, I tried to access my story elements. The app immediately crashed. Not a great sign. I'll be uninstalling.

Not great…yet

The web-based interface is very good! I’m in my two-week free trial and I’ve decided to purchase this. I really like the features (specifically that you can collaborate with other writers and share drafts for editing) and how intuitive it is to use. My only issue with the web-based software is that I can’t use the free form plot board via the web on my iPad—for some reason it cuts off the bottom portion of the screen (I can’t add items to the board). So even logging in via the web has limited functionality on mobile devices. I’ve had Scrivener for years but I can’t easily collaborate with it, or seamlessly use it between devices, which is why I’ve been looking for something else. That said, the LivingWriter app isn’t great, so I can’t seamlessly use between devices either. ☹️☹️☹️ I’ve tried using it on my iPhone and iPad and gotten error messages literally half the times I’ve tried to use it (4 error messages of 8 attempts). The plot board isn’t available in the app, and the app is buggy—it just does squirrely things. So if you plan on writing solely in the app, I wouldn’t recommend it. But if the app is only for an occasional note or moment of inspiration, I would recommend it because the web interface is very good and the company seems to be constantly improving their product, so I think the app will be reliable and robust at some future point. AND the app doesn’t scrape data which I love. 💕
