Great for writing!
Great way to improve your writing skills, and it’s surprising addictive to write fun sized stories
INCREDIBLE APP
I’ve never given an app five stars before. SNIPFIC IS 100% WORTH IT. I use it all the time to write and gain an audience, it’s amazing!
Massive potential, with room to grow
This app is generally good for the community that it tries to curate. I think that this is an overall positive, however, I couldn’t give 5 stars in good faith.
What I like:
- No ads
- Clean interface without clutter
- Very easy to get started
- The 100 world limit offers a unique challenge, while not being overly restrictive
- Outstanding creator engagement and response; some of the best I’ve seen
- Unique, inspiring daily prompts
- Great app performance—I haven’t experienced any lag or crashes personally
- A friendly, supportive community that treats new users well
- Low pressure and fun. It makes writing something that can easily be incorporated into a daily routine with little effort.
What I dislike (some of these will likely be changed later, as the app is still in its infancy, however, I thought they’d still be worth noting):
- Formatting issues: after publishing, the ‘page’ system can cause strange breaks in the middle of sentences. Sometimes this happens for no clear reason, as there is still space on the page for more words.
- Lack of disability support, and fixed font size which may cause issues for those with visual impairments.
- Poor landscape support: The interface does not rotate or adapt well if you are not using a phone.
- No content warnings beyond the 18+ tag, which users can lie about. If users want to add a trigger warning, they must add it to the title or work itself, which can make it harder to fit within the word/character limit. Furthermore, it makes it more difficult to be specific about the warning.
- This app can heavily favour certain types of writing, and potentially force users into a specific box. From what I’ve seen, more dialogue-heavy stories, which don’t contain overly detailed prose, are what gets the most traction here. This may force writers into a generic YA (potentially even a more novice) style.
- Very overt and frequent preaching. I think some is fine, expected, even. However, throughout my time using this app, I have encountered numerous “stories” that are just excerpts from the Bible. This can be frustrating when one is trying to read user-written stories.
- Similarly, as writing snipfics is the main form of interaction (alongside comments, which require a snipfic to comment on), most people communicate through them. As of now, there is no way to filter these out. In fact, there is currently no system to filter out certain things, and only a system to only see certain ‘vibes’/genres.
- Pushing newer works can have a downside, as many people use the part system to post longer works. As newer works are what is recommended, users are likely to be recommended later parts to a story. I would recommend a system where each day, the user can select one story they wrote to push. This allows other users to be recommended the crucial starts to longer stories.
- Search engine limitations—you can search for words in a stories title, but nothing beyond that.
- Lack of chronological tracking—there is no reading log history, so if you forget to save a work, you may not be able to find it again.
- People writing/spamming nonsense to maintain their writing streaks, which clogs the recommended page.
- Account/work privacy: there is no option to make your account or stories private, or limited to just certain people.
Overall, because the app is still so new, these issues shouldn’t be judged too harshly. The core concept is fantastic, the performance is smooth, and the community is wonderful. However, it feels a bit too unfinished for a higher rating right now. It has massive potential, and I will happily upgrade my score to 5 stars as the platform matures and these problems are addressed.
I will certainly continue to use this app in the meantime :)

Calling All Writers!
SnipFic is an awesome writing app that I started using due to a friend recommendation! It’s a really great way to collaborate on stories, find great writing pieces, build and audience, and finally free your brain of the millions of delusion living there without any rent. Don’t usually write reviews but this is a 10/10 app that improved my writing immensely.

Awesome for writer’s block!
As an aspiring teen novelist, I find that along with helping my writing to be more concise, I often strike ideas for my main novel while writing a snip fic. I also love getting to read from different people’s perspectives and getting inspired! Awesome app, 100% recommend.
love
I love this app! and hello anyone in the quills mafia who happens to stumble upon my review!
Best app ever!!!

5 Stars. Definitely recommend!!!

Review
It’s a great app I highly recommend it! Where there is a quill there is a way🪶
Very cool review
Very fun to write stories and to get you writing once a day, I just wish they had more than one prompt per day and that there was an option to go slightly go above 100 words. I’d like to see them incorporate something like 200-500 words which could be like a once a week thing?
I also really like how they have prompts that don’t feel like they’re written for five year olds. These prompts are something that teens and adults who are actually into writing can use!
I also like how you can pick from different genres and vibes.
If you are a young writer or want to improve your writing skills or want to get back into good writing habits I totally recommend. Ty :3

Actual user, please fix these issues 🙏
This app is amazing, it's creative, makes writing casual, and encourages people who are nervous about writing to actually pursue their interests.
Beyond these very good qualities, there are a lot of bugs.
When writing, if you try to change the spot of your 'cursor', which is dragging the space bar on mobile, it makes the 'cursor' constantly jump up about 5-7 lines. It's become very irritating when trying to proofread.
The second bug that's been causing problems is that when you post a snip and go look at it, the spacing is weird. It'll chop a 5 word sentence onto three different slides and two of those slides will only have one word on them. This is very problematic for poets, where spacing and keeping pattern is important.
I think the majority of SnipFic users would be very grateful if these got fixed, including me.

Best app
No words this app is incredible
Fantastic
Dudes, dudettes, debts, and Gregs, and others: this is the BEST app I have ever made the decision of getting. Everything’s free! Everybody’s creative and funny, and there’s no AI involved at all! I love it so much, it brings me and one of my friends so much joy and whimsy when we’re writing. It lets us get our ideas out onto paper and actually write productively. Before we would only write like; ones or twice every 3 months, and now we’re writing every day! It’s amazing. There’s prompts that I love, and I love reading what people write based on those prompts. Not to mention the freedom to actually write your own book on this app! I absolutely LOVE this app, and I’ll recommend it to all my writing friends.

My writing motivation has decided to exist now. And my writing has definitely improved. And I’m in a ton of fun series with a bunch of people like the Quill mafia, Reginald army, group therapy, the hunger games, and my very own Arson cult.
