## What is Scriblr?

Scriblr is here to become your personal storybook.

Do you want to become a better writer?
“Yes”

Do you want to write more often?
“Yes, but I don’t know what to write about”

Let me help you with that!

You will get a personal word and emotion every time you start the app. So you can write a story with new inspiration each time. The emotion can guide you to get the feel of your story right.

You can even set daily notifications so you never forget to write a new story. You can immediately start writing from this notification or let it remind you another time when you don’t have time at that moment.

All of this sounds amazing right?
“Duh!”

Even better all of this is totally offline, so you can write whenever and where-ever you are!
Let me get some examples for you:
- You’re bored on a train
- You’re flying above all available WiFi-networks
- You’re laying wide awake in bed
- You’re driving to… Scratch that, don’t use your phone while driving!
- You have to wait forever to get some food at that one restaurant
- You might even be in space

Are you convinced yet? (You better be)

“What about sharing my stories?”
While everything is available offline, you can still send out your stories to all your friends, family and even your pets. (Yes, we all know you have a social media account for them)

So what are you waiting for, press that download button!
Can’t wait to help you with those amazing stories you’ll write!
Talk to you later!

### 1/5 — Won’t open anymore

*2020-02-03, version 1.1*

Won’t open anymore. So sad I really loved this app too

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2019-12-10, version 1.1*

I can’t get it to open on my phone so that’s the only problem so far...

### 4/5 — This app is no longer working on my phone

*2019-10-28, version 1.1*

Any idea why????

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2019-07-27*

This app has been brilliant! It always helps me through Writers Block. I’m not sure what else to say, other than this app is amazing and would recommend it to anyone in an instant!!!

### 4/5 — great concept, needs more features

*2018-12-11, version 1.1*

so far, my use of this app has gone swimmingly. inspiration comes easily. i wish that we could go back and edit/add to previous drafts. a “save” feature that doesn’t force you to keep what you’ve written as a final, unchangeable copy would be nice.
italics/bold/bullet points would be helpful. the option to choose between word or character count, too.
i suppose that these things are already listed in order of importance so, i think i’ll add the desire for different fonts/color schemes here.

i really love the minimalist feel of the app. though it does seem to be missing the core functions and modern features (like a dark mode and autosave) that apps have these days. i hope you update soon. 😊

### 4/5 — This is definitely a brilliant app,but just needing a little improvement

*2016-04-05, version 1.1*

I love this app!It's so cool!I can easily catch inspiration by opening it.But I hope I can continue to write my previous inspirations in the app,not "open in other app".Thank you guys!

### 4/5 — Love It, But...

*2015-05-24, version 1.0*

This is a great app. Even if you don't have a problem with writer's block, it's nice to be able to get this little spark of an idea to work with. There is only one problem. I find it easier to type on my phone with it turned sideways, landscape view I guess you'd call it. You can't do that with the app as it won't turn that way. So, I don't even write in it. I take the ideas and put pen to paper, which kind of defeats the purpose a bit.

### 5/5 — 5 Starz!

*2015-05-23, version 1.0*

This app is worth the download. I tend to get writer's block a lot lately and this app has alleviate that. Great concept!!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2015-05-22, version 1.0*

I just downloaded and I've fallen in love with this app.  As a writer, this will definitely help spark my creativity when I'm stuck.
