Great app but some flaws
I tried this app out to do writing again and it’s great does everything I need to do to write and has basic tools to fix it. One problem though is I wanna print the stuff I write on this app but I swear on everything I don’t see a option for “print” or “copy” so if you maybe update the app so I can print it that would be nice otherwise this app is pretty good!!.

Minimalist’s Dream
Best in class. Developer is responsive, too. I was an early adopter, before Timothy went to the off-putting subscription model. (I’m not a fan of paying for an app in perpetuity.) Fingers are crossed he’ll at least add a lifetime licensing option. If so, Pieces is well worth the price of admission, and you can try it for free.

Loved the concept but forced to buy subscription
Loved the minimalistic style but after 3 pieces you are forced to buy a subscription. I knew there was a money grab but I thought it could still be usable, but nope. Uninstalling.
Minimal • Sophisticated • Outstanding
I’ve tried many tools in this category, and for my purposes Pieces clearly stands apart.
Where most apps become cluttered or prescriptive, Pieces stays flexible, fast, and genuinely useful for thinking, organizing, and retrieving work over time. It fits naturally into my workflow rather than forcing me to adapt to it.
No product is perfect for everyone, but if you value clarity, speed, and a tool that respects how you actually think and work, Pieces is well worth serious consideration.

Once great, now an annoyance to be deleted
I purchased Pieces sometime ago, when it was available for a reasonable one time fee. I enjoyed it and made it a part of my daily routine. Sadly, the author of the program recently switched to a recurring fee based payment schedule. Had the new recurring fee based system left prior purchasers of the product unaffected, it would have been forgivable. That isn’t the case. Instead, long time owners are now hit with a pop up every time they open the program. They then need to go through a purchase restoration process. To be clear: this is not a one time restoration. Legacy users need to do this over and over again. It’s an intolerable nuisance, one that caused me to abandon the program.
For new users considering purchasing Pieces at the subscription rate: I can assure you as a long time user that the program isn’t worth anywhere close to the amount a subscription user would end up paying. The product isn’t even remotely worthy of consideration at that price. It’s absurd.
To long time users who purchased under the one time fee program: I’d encourage you to submit reviews akin to mine until Pieces removes the pop up for users who purchased via a one time fee. Trust has been broken. We are being cheated. We deserve better.

Response from developer
Hi, thank you for leaving this review and sorry for the annoyance you’ve faced in the app. It seems something has gone wrong as existing users of the app should not have to do the purchase restoration every time they use the app. There should be a popup asking old users if they want to switch model but you should just see that once. I’ll try push an update out as soon as possible.
