I’m so sorry.
My apologies for the harsh review. That wasn’t right, but I hope it works better eventually.
Super Kind
Completely free, no add pop-ups and gives a lot of different planning options for your writing! This is a super helpful app honestly
So rare to find a gem like this nowadays
Only been using the app for a short while but it’s blowing my mind because usually simple functions would be paywalled or something stupid, but this seems to be genuinely free and genuinely very useful. It’s so simple yet so customizable and the fact you don’t need to make an account for it makes it even better. Everything’s just there, perfect. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great
It works great and I love that I can send it out. My only problem is that there are no different fonts and the tab but that doesn’t matter do much. It is exactly what I wanted when I got it though.
Amazing! But one thing…
I have been using this app for like two months and it is so glorious, i love it and it is so good for all my 20+ story ideas! I love how you can set the cover and i love how it organized it is! But one thing i don’t like is that there is no pages, so i dont know how many pages i wrote so far, there is no pick your page size or numbering and that makes it hard since i like to print out my books. One more thing, whenever i use the arrow buttons on my keyboard to fix something it sends me back to the other letter/sentence and to fix that i have to exit out of the whole app and go back in, other then that it is an amazing writing app!!!
I hope you found this helpful! Peace out ✌🏻

Hi, pages are a matter of publishing and Novelist is an app suited to just plot and write. Thanks for your kind feedback!

I legit love this app, it’s so useful for writing. It took me awhile to learn how to use everything but I know now and it’s so nice. To publish it, I just copy paste the text I write, put it on my docs app which sends it to my computer and then bam it works. Great app!

Super helpful!
I’ve been using this app for about half a year now and it’s been super amazing for my books! The way that it contains so many features like the events and goal setting and character metadata is really cool to me, it helped me develop a lot of my story. It can handle a lot of words unlike how i used to use Notes and Google Docs. The only issues I have are that A) you can’t change the font, which is just something that isn’t really important but i would like! and B) you can’t use the find/replace feature for all the sections *when you’re on easy mode, like me* but instead have to do the feature for each individual section. Although these are minor inconveniences, otherwise the app is really good.

Thank you so much!!
非常好的写作软件
强烈推荐！页面干净简洁，结构完整。非常喜欢人物卡、事件、主题和正文界面分离这一点，还可以设置起承转合进度条。非常适合梳理大纲和公式化写作，感觉设计的思路很清晰。可惜没有中文版，好在界面字数不多，单词也不算特别复杂，值得一试。
I love this app
I like writing stories and I have looked at other apps and they all make me pay for more books or more pages or more characters but this one is free and I love it. 🩷
Appreciation
I had to write a review about this app. It is amazing and so caring towards writers. I have been using this app for only few months but it is insane. I us it for writing books mostly and being happy knowing it's reliable even offline as many malfunction for the need to be online. I even use it for notes or planning and it's so essay to organize with, I even use it to organize my essays as I'm also a AP English student and needed this to help out. With it's built in features like schedules, categories, tags, scenes, search, view, sections and my favorite, color labels. It is overall a well made and amazing app to use especially with it's backup feature. The only real issue I do have with this app is, it doesn't have an automatic sync or account connection, which it absolutely makes up, for being free to use. Unlike other apps that get in my way, or cost way too much, or does the same thing but more expensive and not even worth the hassle, it's free. I appreciate what you guys do and I just wanna say, out of all the apps I would use or even had the money to use, I would still pick this. Because frankly, this is 100% better than any other one I've seen and paid for. So thank you!

Automatic cloud sync would require me to introduce a subscription fee. And that's something I really want to avoid. Sorry for the inconvenience. Cheers
I like it- yeh… it cool
Yeh! This is totes yeh! Thats all I can say for now… thnx to the goat- YEH!!!
PLEASE READ
Okay, so I’m 10 and I just got this a few hours ago. It’s a great app, and it has no subscription or in app purchases or anything. But I went to the normal mode and tried to make a bio for my main character bc I love those sort of things. Tell me why there’s like a bajillion things on there. What does Style mean?! Like, it’s detailed to the point to where if you JUST filled out bios for everything, you could make a GRAPHIC NOVEL. It’s insane. It should specify what certain things mean, and I took like an hour to figure out how to delete a copy of a character I accidentally copied. It should come with a mini dictionary for what all that stuff means. I hope the devs see this and respond. I should give this four stars but I want people to see it. Also the review Amazing app for all things words! Is phony. It’s SUPER DETAILED, and if you’re a human dictionary, or don’t mind checking definitions of things every five seconds, and like things AS DETAILED AND DESCRIPTIVE AS HUMANLY AND ROBOTICALLY POSSIBLE, this is the app for you. Also, you have to back up your own books every few minutes.

Thanks! Happy writing
This honestly has to be the worst app I’ve ever used!
I have over a 127,000 words in my novel right now, and it types even slower than a laptop mini can run! This is very, very dissatisfying!
Loved it!
I really enjoy the app, but I have one small gripe with it. It has no undo/redo button so if you accidentally delete a paragraph, page, whatever, you can’t get it back unless you backed it up. Also I can’t seem to select a sentence or anything without selecting all or just one word, but that’s probably just me nitpicking. Other than that it’s been a great tool for writing and I recommend!

IM SO GLAD I FOUND THIS!
!!! It’s basically a perfect template for dumping scattered information about a project and making it look super organized. The sections, tags, customizability and other cool things.
I haven’t experienced any major bugs or issues besides minor inconveniences like getting confused by what the buttons do based on the icons or accidentally deleting stuff 😅 I’ve also had some issues with syncing, but it might be a problem with my browser.
(I will edit this review if something big comes up though)
But anyway, I use novelist for so many project and I think more people should know about it.

A Diamond Among CZ
Novelist is an amazingly different application. At a time when so very many apps are addicted to expensive in-app purchases or costly subscriptions, Novelist insists upon freely sharing it's high quality, above-average product!
I say “freely sharing” as opposed to “freely giving away” because Novelist remains a part and fully invested in each downloaded instance, created account, and hopefully passionate user. Novelist doesn't give the product away, but chooses to SHARE the experience with each and every user.
Novelist is an extremely well-organized all-in-one app for writing, plotting, outlining, and scheduling within the confines of your busy life. If you want the “freedom to create without limits,” (THEIR words, not mine!) then Novelist is THE app for you!
COMPLETELY FREE, with NO ads or in-app purchases popping up to distract your writing flow. So: Download, Rate/Review, Share EVERYWHERE, and liberally repeat. Help support the app that supports YOU from the START!

BE CAREFUL WITH BACKUPS
Be VERY VERY careful. The menu options are confusing. I just tired to backup my work from tonight to my files but instead i restored it to the previous backup. Basically instead of replacing my backup with the new stuff I wrote in last few hours i reverted it back to where left off last time. Just lost about 3500 words, and a few hours of world and character building notes and from what i can tell there is no way to undo this mistake and i am extremely bummed. If you ate going to save your progress make sure you choose the right option. If you choose to restore a backup i would recommend keeping and not replacing. My mistake but man this sucks

So Far, GREAT!
I finally found an app that ACTUALLY is great, and easy to use. There’s only o e thing I’d like to see. Being able to insert images. But, otherwise, keep up with the work!!
Glitches
I like the app and how simple it can be, but it often glitches when I try to edit something I already typed. I try to add a comma in a paragraph and he keeps adding it to the end of the text instead. It’s a little frustrating.
🫣
This is very all over the place. Very confusing to use, no organized stuff, Im 9 and could make a better writing app. No offense, but please update this. If you don’t I will delete with alll mh book in here. Thank
