This app is trash save your money! If you want any kinda sexual energy or scenes this isnโ€™t the one for any author!!

Response from developer

We work really hard to make Sudowrite as permissive as possibleโ€”but different AI models have different appetites for spice. Have you tried toggling the AI you're using? If youโ€™re still running into trouble, you can reach us at hi@sudowrite.com.

This app does not work.

The title. It just doesnโ€™t work. The write and rewrite functions that are on the website, basically the whole reason why you would use sudowrite, simply arenโ€™t there for iPad.

The app was in beta up until pretty recently. But itโ€™s clearly not ready for release yet.

The website doesnโ€™t work well on iPad either. The Iโ€™m unable to see what Iโ€™m typing whenever the keyboard comes up.

Thereโ€™s potential with sudowrite. But I feel like I have to fight to get it to do what I want.

Great Setup, Terrible Execution

Sudowrite initially looked almost perfect for what I wanted. I spent hours building detailed character profiles, family relationships, worldbuilding, power systems, story concepts, and chapter outlines. I also gave clear style instructions for the kind of prose I wanted.

๐—œ๐˜ ๐—œ๐—ด๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐— ๐˜† ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐—•๐—ถ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ

Once I asked it to draft the opening chapter, it immediately started inventing information that contradicted what I had already established.

It changed:

โ€ข Character details
โ€ข Family history
โ€ข Names and ages
โ€ข The protagonistโ€™s appearance
โ€ข Modern backstory
โ€ข Socioeconomic background

It even wrote my protagonist as financially struggling despite the fact that I had clearly established her as a successful Fortune 500 vice president.

๐—œ๐˜ ๐—œ๐—ป๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฅ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐—•๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜†

Instead of using the information I provided, it added completely unnecessary details about:

โ€ข Landlords
โ€ข Rented apartments
โ€ข Workplace drama
โ€ข Rival coworkers
โ€ข Illnesses
โ€ข Corporate sabotage
โ€ข Personal history that never existed

None of this was requested.

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—ข๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜„๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ป

I specifically asked for simple, direct, fast-paced web-novel-style prose.

Instead, I got:

โ€ข Excessive sensory description
โ€ข Unnecessary metaphors
โ€ข Melodramatic physical reactions
โ€ข Long internal monologues
โ€ข Constant comparisons to the protagonistโ€™s modern life
โ€ข Multiple paragraphs describing things that could have been said in one sentence

The writing felt padded rather than purposeful.

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐˜†๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—œ๐—ป๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐——๐—ถ๐—ฑ ๐—ก๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—›๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฝ

I had already told Sudowrite to:

โ€ข Keep descriptions brief
โ€ข Avoid literary or cinematic prose
โ€ข Avoid unnecessary sensory detail
โ€ข Avoid inventing canon
โ€ข Follow the Story Bible
โ€ข Use short, straightforward paragraphs

It still ignored those instructions.

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—š๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—–๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—น๐˜€ ๐—ช๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—™๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด

The length options also felt awkward. I wanted a manageable scene, but the available word-count settings were inconsistent and did not solve the underlying problem.

Even when I reduced the generation length, it still invented details and ignored established canon.

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—•๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—บ

The entire point of spending hours creating a Story Bible is so the AI has a reliable source of truth.

If I still have to correct names, ages, personalities, family history, appearance, backstory, and writing style after every generation, then the Story Bible is not doing its job.

I ended up spending more time fixing the AIโ€™s mistakes than I would have spent writing the scene myself.

๐—™๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฉ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜

The interface and Story Bible system gave me very high expectations.

The actual drafting experience was extremely disappointing.

For a writing app built around character profiles, worldbuilding, outlines, and AI-assisted drafting, it failed at the most basic requirement: following the information I had already provided.
