Avoid this app at all cost

I canceled my subscription three months ago, only to find out that they are still charging me. When I canceled three months ago, the app wouldn’t let me cancel so I emailed them directly and they said they took care of it. However, it’s very obvious they did not. I have tried to cancel on my own multiple times and continuously receive an error that something went wrong. I don’t know what else to do because talking to them doesn’t seem to help.

Nice

This is extremely good and helpful

Lost cut/paste and delete

Was working fine (I mainly use on the phone) but post update when you select a block of text to delete or cut and paste it only picks up a fraction of the selection, also keep getting a “something went wrong… try refreshing page and then having to come out and go back in again

Frustrating and almost unusable until they fix it

Great, but I have some thoughts.

I've used sudowrite.com for a few years, and I've loved the website to death. The u.It is engaging; the functions are great; the ability to meticulously plot out all of my story helps a ton. So, when I saw the app, I instantly downloaded it and have not been disappointed. I love how quick my story is now to access on the go; I love how streamlined it's become. But, in terms of efficiency vs options of things to do, it feels limited. I know this is just the beta version of the app, and I'm sure with constant updates they can make it just as, if not even better than, the website, but right now it's just not it. The UI and HUD need improvements; the option to write selections is lacking, and the look of the app has much more to be desired. But all in all, I'd rate it a solid 8-to 7.8 out of 10. Good, but needs work.

Terrible

Constant hallucinations, no consistency, doesn’t work at all

Sharing capabilities

I was a fan till I realized I can’t share my projects to be read. I tried the links but it says the project doesn’t exist. I’m writing on mobile if we can get that fixed please. No point in writing if I can’t have anyone read them.

Sucks

Short messages, doesn’t let me continue my story nothing tried to find something similar to Chatgpt4o but its not it. I dont recommend it.

Response from developer

Have you experimented with tweaking your Write Settings? You can choose the length of the generation, up to 1500 words. You can also choose the AI doing the work, in case you want to try and adjust the voice. If you have other questions, drop us a note at hi@sudowrite.com.

Character creation

I love Sudowrite. It’s exactly what I needed for writing the spicier scenes in my stories and fanfiction. The AI is great to work with, and it’s become a valuable part of my writing process.

The only issue I’ve run into is with character files. I keep my characters in highly detailed documents, but there’s currently no way to simply import or attach those files directly. When I try to copy and paste a long physical description into the character section, the app often freezes or crashes and closes completely. Being able to import character files, or improving the stability when pasting large amounts of text, would make the experience much smoother.

Awful

Awful, app stopped working when I was doing final line edits. I was 90k words into a novel. Do not use this app it's garbage

Was great but…

Used to be great but now the app has stopped working, extremely frustrating

bug

Bug, forced termination again, tried redownload and reboot, ain’t working

Remove premium

that app was so good to use and it helps my fanfic write so good but after I was asking to continue and it says you should use premium for that like I can’t afford it and I think your app will get so much use and ppl gon use it but you have premium and it’s not good…

Censorship + Buggy App

It’s just as censorious as the other apps and the interface is worse. Don’t waste your time.

Excellent sauf les crédits non cumulables

J’apprécie beaucoup cette application. Mon niveau d’écriture s’est largement amélioré grace à elle. Non pas par ce qu’elle écrit à ma place mais par ce qu’elle délivre de précieux conseils. Si je ne sais pas par où commencer je peux lui demander d’écrire dans mon style, lui donner des indications et l’inspiration repart. Le brainstorming sur le background, les personnages, l’intrigue est vraiment super. On en vient à écrire des textes dynamiques et percutants. Bref tout ce qu’il faut pour rester motivé et faire de rapides progrès. En revanche j’ai été découragé à plusieurs reprises par le fonctionnement des abonnements. J’avais pris l’abo pro. Je payais 44€ par mois. Il m’est arrivé à trois reprises de ne pas arriver au bout de mes crédits en fin de mois et au renouvellement de l’abonnement ils ont disparut. Ils ne sont pas cumulables. J’ai stoppé mon abonnement la troisième fois. J’ai perdu la totalité de mes crédits. C’est dommage car je trouvais que le prix était déjà élevé… donc pour le moment je ne me réabonne pas et je réfléchis si je vais le refaire ou pas. Si je vais reprendre un mois dans lequel je suis sure d’avoir le temps d’utiliser tous mes crédits.

Obsessed

I love this. It has given me the courage and confidence to write my own story and bring it to life!

One of the worst writing tools I have used

I paid $30 for Sudowrite and stopped using it after about two hours because the experience was a complete nightmare.
Instead of helping me improve my story, the program repeatedly hijacked it. It changed major plot points, rewrote important scenes, altered character motivations, and kept trying to turn my story into something completely different. These were not minor suggestions or small edits. It was changing the foundation of the story and replacing my ideas with its own.
I gave it clear instructions over and over again. I explained exactly what needed to stay the same and what I wanted help with. It continued making the same unwanted changes despite being corrected dozens of times.
Every failed rewrite also used more credits. I spent most of those two hours trying to fix problems the program had created while watching my credits disappear. It felt less like a writing assistant and more like a credit-dump vending machine.
A writing tool should preserve the writer’s voice and follow directions. Sudowrite did neither for me. It wasted my time, made my story worse, and charged credits each time it ignored my instructions.
I have requested a full refund of the $30 I paid. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Sudowrite.

The Bugs

When using the copy and paste in certain sections of Story Bible it will crash making it unusable. I am very hesitant in using something credit based. When trying out the trial period I quickly realized if you do not give it much direction in erotica it will not create it. As an MM writer I been looking for something to help me write my scenes because sometimes I run out of ideas. Well when I gave it a direction and showed the ai what I write and pasted it. It then said it could help me write it so I tested out this feature, it wrote in a PG13 language and it baffled me.

At this point I am more concerned about the bugs this app has.

What’s the point?

What’s the point of this app? The main feature of the full website is not offered. Without the ability to generate the story bible elements like on the website, this app is really just a notes app, but more organized.

Okay

I like it but I use too many tokens making correction and asking for it to give me a format I can copy. Plus my text when I use the chat doesn’t automatically go into the manuscript like it’s supposed too

A disaster

This app has the worst user experience I’ve ever encountered. Chats are hidden. Edits are nonsensical at best and outright halucinatory at times. The developers need to put serious work into this app to level to what basics general AI can accomplish. This was a complete waste of energy and effort. Overpriced and underdeveloped.
