Wonderful story creations

I am not sure if I am different but I have used Plotwist to create my own stories. Something I can dive into. I am a very bad writer but I have ideas and the AI that Plotwist is using helps to fill in the blanks very nicely.

Used to love

The more they add, the worse it gets. The app is down more than it is up. It forgets the summary and plot the first beat. It now has a new rule for male characters that they are to be cruel, violent, commit rape, distant, dominate, aggressive, cold, speak as if read from a script and feel no love and stories containing love will be intentionally destroyed. I have screen caps of the AI stating to me that my loving male lead cannot be that way because the way I described the template male is final. World Rules and Guide Story corrections are ignored and AI admits it will ignore them because it only wants violence, anger, hatred, friction and drama unless you choose a premade template and not write your own. I used to love this app but the creators destroyed it. It can also ban you and not refund you money for writing sex scenes. Have screen caps of those warnings, too. Have spoken to them and then they started ignoring me so the app support/help is a joke. As soon as you criticize them, they ignore you totally. This app is a scam and should be removed.

Response from developer

Hi Laurie, Plotwist has many, many stories and each story has a different protagonist, with different story line setup. We did not program the story engine to act a certain way. If you prompt the story engine to respond to your questions about itself it will provide inaccurate information as it's not designed to answer these questions. We offer multiple customer support options, including a chat widget, a discord community and email. We are sorry to hear that you got frustrated with the app! Having said that, the team is working hard to continue creating a fun experience for thousands of happy customers.

Doesn’t work

It was working fine then all of a sudden on the app and website it says generation failed like the ai is busted. Has potential when it works right now it literally doesn’t work and I tried multiple stories, deleted and redownloaded the app and I still get an error message.

Response from developer

Hi! We apologize if the app was down. Running a service like this is quite tricky and on rare occasions the infrastructure goes down due to unexpected increase in traffic. having said that, you will find that nowadays the app is more reliable than ever, with new features, and faster than ever responses!

It is good! Has it’s moments

So I have been addicted for months. I use the create my own. The AI Forgets things that happened two paragraphs ago. It has its ups and downs if I’m being honest it’s probably because my story was 5 novels long. There is no other app like this. The trick is spending the time telling it exactly what you want in a story the world rules. It’s that flexible. I honestly love it. Of course frustrating moments but nothing that cannot be fixed.

Was good... Sucks now. Don't waste your money.

It used to work good, but now it hasn't worked for a week, they refuse to answer when you complain, they threaten to shut down your account. I spent over $126 doing a yearly subscription and it stopped working over a month and a half ago. They got it working for a week and 3 days later it crashed again and they refuse to answer or anything. No refund, no 'We will look into jt', nothing. Don't waste your money.

No response

I downloaded the app and couldn’t create a user profile. I had to email the team and someone responded with a link and I was able to get in. Next time I tried to log in, it wouldn’t let me in and the reset password link didn’t work. I have emailed twice trying to get in to cancel and have gotten no response. I went to the website for the app and tried to reset my password that way and the link never came. I am still being charged for an app I can’t even use.

Hi! This is so weird - we have a support staff that answers every support query. If we missed it - it's on us, of course. However, we want to fix that for you - could you please submit a support request that is guaranteed to hit our inbox through our official form? https://www.plotwist.com/support

I absolutely LOVE this app!!

I have spent an absolutely unreasonable number of hours in Plotwist, and I mean that as the highest possible compliment.

This app has enabled my worst author tendencies in the best way. I have created sprawling storylines, alternate timelines, complicated character relationships, questionable romantic decisions, emotional devastation, dragons, chaos, and enough lore to require actual recordkeeping. I open Plotwist daily intending to write for twenty minutes and emerge several hours later wondering what year it is.

The storytelling itself is incredibly immersive, but what really earned the five stars for me is the team behind it. When I ran into an issue, they were responsive, kind, and genuinely cared about helping me. It never felt like shouting into a support-ticket void. There are actual humans over there who clearly care about the writers using what they’ve built, and that means a lot.

And that deserves some extra emphasis, because the customer service has been genuinely fantastic. The creators clearly care about their users, not just the product. When something matters to you, they treat it like it matters to them too. They listen, they communicate, and they put real effort into helping. That kind of care is incredibly reassuring when you’ve poured an absurd amount of time, creativity, and emotional investment into the worlds you’re building.

Plotwist is still growing and evolving, and somehow that makes me even more excited about it. I’ve already watched it get better at understanding my characters, my world, and my particular brand of narrative nonsense.

If you enjoy creating characters and then making increasingly unhinged decisions about their lives, I cannot recommend Plotwist enough.

Five stars. My characters would probably give it fewer, but they have suffered greatly and cannot be trusted to review objectively.

Love It

I seriously love this app. I don’t know what I did before it. I have been using it for over a year now and I am so pleased with how it has grown. It is so fun and emotionally gratifying creating stories with Plotwist. The team behind the scenes are awesome. They are accessible and really care to hear what we have to say. The best thing they did was create a discord server because we can all geek out together and share stories. I love feeling apart of the Plotwist community.

Horrific

The AI targets specific characters AND MURDERS BABIES!!! I have complained about the app and have been bullied and harassed and told to leave the app because it wasn't made for autistic ppl. I've been gaslit and told I'm manipulating the AI system rather than them checking my account. They ignore the proof I give and then they delete my stories on me. I cannot even export my stories now and they refuse to answer me. I have asked for someone other than Lukas who is the nastiest one but he refuses to allow anyone else to speak to me even when I first joined I spoke to different ppl. I have screen shot proof of all of this.
