### 5/5 — Great concept

*2025-02-14*

This is a great app to get your thoughts organized. It’s easy to use and packed with great features

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2024-09-24*

Dear Author! One simple wish:
for Cards. Will be great if app will have 3 view option for cards:
- like now
- like timeline, from left to wright
- like pazzle, lines and collum with free moving

### 4/5 — A simply elegant tool.

*2024-07-13*

I have worked my way through a number of different tools, in search of something to support my desire to plan out and actually knuckle down to write my stories; but this is the first one to stick. It is simple and easy to pick up with no over complicated functionality to learn.

To create a ‘card’ with your idea, and build a catalogue of your characters and locations is easy, with the added ability to tag your location on a card a nice way to break down your ideas. The writing space is also clean with no distractions and possibly my favourite area. This space has particularly driven my efficiency, especially when I discovered the hidden feature to allowing different drafts (versions) of a chapter, maintained in the single entry, keeping navigation tidy and even allowing comparisons!!

I have given 4 stars (in all honesty, I which I could do 4.5 stars!), because I believe that whilst the app is hitting a really good target, there could be some small improvements to make it even better! I am not an app developer though, so for that alone, I tip my hat to you!

Some feature ideas include:
- Link story cards to Chapters
- Catalogue Plots
- Catalogue Props / Items
- Tag plots and props in story cards
- Chapter Tags (i.e. WIP, ToDo)
- wider markdown language support (i.e. comments that don’t get rendered into the reading view or exports)

Thank you for all your hard work on this app!

### 2/5 — Good app

*2020-10-03*

Great app. Just $10 is too much to pay for this app to add more cards.
