User reviews

DO NOT USE

You have to pay to write, and you are in read only mode when you download this app. Very expensive. Do not recommend.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We do now offer a free allowance for users, but unlimited writing is still a paid-for feature. For context, it takes hundreds of hours to develop and maintain a complex app like this, so we do need to charge a fee unfortunately.

Useless

Hello, I‘m afraid I have to leave a bad review on this app. You can do absolutely nothing in there accept from viewing a blank page and blank notes because you’re not able to edit if you don’t subscribe it for 2€ per month or sth. I am quite disappointed, the structure of the app was just what I was looking for but not like that. Good luck with costumers who want to spend money on that.

Regards

Response from developer

Hi, please note that we do offer a free trial. We charge a small monthly or annual fee because building and maintaining a complex app requires hundreds of hours of work, and the fee helps justify that effort. I wish you luck with your writing in whichever app best suits your needs and budget.

The Tool of my success

I’m so incredibly happy with this app. I am writing my complete novel with it and it has been so effortless. It keeps it very neat and tidy for me, as it separates each chapter with unlimited space. It’s made writing so enjoyable for me. There are separate sections for notes, artwork, and outlines. And space for as many books as you’d like- all saved with iCloud. I close and open right where I left off. There are even book outlines made for different types of books if you need it. If I could give more stars I would. Thank you for creating this app🙏

Uh

It doesn't let me use keyboard? Please dont tell me i need subscription just to type

It could be a top app - if...

.. if the developer does something very sensible.

Move it to a one-time purchase or, an annual thing to continue receiving updates, but you keep what you have if you don't upgrade.

This is what these apps are, by virtue, they are not the type of app people want to pay a monthly/annual subscription for.

I honestly believe so many apps out there can be far more sucessful if they get this subscription thing out of their heads.

Human beings can only stand so many subscriptions in their lives, & these wee apps are never going to be important enough for it.

Keep it simple, keep it sane, one price for an app, sell more volume, get more customers, and ignore the crowd of greedy people subscriptions!
