Fantastic Program
The more I use Plottr, the more I love it. It has so many great features and I have just now been digging into some of them. I love the templates such as the Three Act Structure and the Horror and Mystery Novel templates. It adds so much to your work flow capabilities. I highly recommend this product.

Plan your work… then work you plan
PLOTTR is the only writing software that lets me see every aspect of my story - characters, structures, plot and more — at the same time, allowing me to adjust as I go. Game changer!
Import and export
The video tutorials do not match the functionality or visuals of the app. Further, while I’ve only started working with it, I have not been able to import previously written material through something as simple as copy and paste, and I have not figured out how to export writing from the app into another document. So far it looks like you can only type directly into the app and not take any plots off the app. Seems like a lot of rewriting. unless these problems are resolved, I would not recommend this app.

Deletes Notes from Windows Desktop
Update again, app plays nice with IOS and Windows since the last patch! I can go back and forth between operating systems without erasing notes due to text formatting issues. For Linux, the webapp works great. So, 5 stars again if it stays reliable.
Old review, I’ve been using this app since Plottr Pro launched and haven’t had a single sync issue with desktop (outside of a few text formatting issues.) I use this app on my tiny iphone to take notes on the go, and I do the bulk of my plotting on a Windows desktop. The app is imperfect. Glitches have come and gone. Text formatting I do on Windows often gets stripped out, like removing line breaks and colored text. Actually, no colored text at all on mobile. But the app works! And nothing critical has happened to my work. Plottr doesn’t have the best GUI, but my plotting gets done, and that’s all the matters at the and of the day. With this program I can get back to what Really love, writing and editing novels. Plottr makes the painful first step of plotting a little easier.

Lost my work AGAIN
I bought the Plottr pro to have it on my computer and phone, and I like the app on my computer. It’s easy to use an navigate there.
However, I have lost so much work that just doesn’t save either on my computer or on my phone. Multiple times I have spent hours working on my story to save it, and then come back to it on my other device and it isn’t there. Extremely frustrating.
The mobile app also has a lot of bugs, like why is there no spellcheck? Or why when I click on a chapter in the top menu, does it stay on chapter one? I have 37 chapters and I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to access the last chapter, even when I clicked on the chapter 37 tab.
So good for computers; not so good for mobile.
And I’m writing this having lost my work… AGAIN.
I will not be renewing my subscription, I will be using something else.
