Such a lifesaver
An excellent tool!! I use it right now to track contests. One addition I would make would be to add a field for when contests--and submissions open.
However, this app is great. I have it on my Mac., iPad, and iPhone. Once I figured out the syncing, it is such a breeze and very reliable. Thank you so much!

Solid & Useful demo
This is a brilliant & novel tool that reminds me why I got my smartphone & tablet! It's a great modern-day replacement (or supplement) to old-timey spreadsheets & calendars. I've published fairly widely years ago and I hope to return to my first professional love of writing. I'd like to consider this app after tooling around with the Lite version for a while, but I have a few reservations I hope to write to the dev about. From his website & reviews, he's a writer & app programmer who takes pride in his product.
Here're my three cents:
* Price point for full version at $7.99 is a bit steep for me in the present--imagine the cost for starving artists! 😔 I hope there are occasional sales in the future. This would help entice fence-sitting prospects like me.
* Copyrights. This is HUGE. Amateurs are so worried about simply getting published they often sell all rights. After passing that developmental milestone in one's writing career, the pros realize they need to keep & track their copyrights. This is VITAL. Yes it can be put in Notes, but it really needs to be prominent--It's how you make your living!!! Maybe a customizable spinner like in the Genres section, but with customizable rights options; something like "100% rights sold" "First North American serial rights only" "Film rights" etc.
* Queries. This also separates many pro writers from aspiring beginners. Many pros write Queries first THEN write the story. I'd like to see a way of tracking query letters just like the app has it set up for stories, but then give the chance to convert the query to a story. This mimics more real-world writing for me, since many professional writers aren't working tirelessly on completing actual projects before knowing the project has a buyer. Otherwise...well, remember the Starving Artist part??? 😃

Easy to use, and very flexible
I can think of a feature or two I'd like added, but it only took me ten minutes to decide to upgrade to the full version. The app is clearly useful to me as a writer, and I like how one can add genres and notes, in order to expand on the app's pre-set offerings.
Great tracking tool
Wonderful way to keep on top of your stories. I would like to see a Passcode or Password added for protection of our work/keep prying eyes away. Please add! Thanks in advance!
Won't Work
Create story - fine. Create Market - fine. Try add submission. Nada.
