Nice
Lost cut/paste and delete
Frustrating and almost unusable until they fix it
Response from developer
Hm! Sorry to hear you ran into issues with selection. We've shipped updates since your review, so please grab the latest version. If either the selection bug or the "something went wrong" error persist after updating, email hi@sudowrite.com with your device model and we'll get it in front of the team quickly. Thanks for flagging it.
Great, but I have some thoughts.
Terrible
Response from developer
Hey there, sorry that the app let you down. We've been making rapid improvements.. are you on the most recent version? If you're up for it, email hi@sudowrite.com with the specifics of what went wrong and we can get you unstuck.
Sharing capabilities
Response from developer
Hey there! You can absolutely create Share links from the Sudowrite mobile app. Just navigate into the document you're writing in and click the More menu (three dots, like •••) in the upper right. Choose Share and a public URL will be created that you can text directly, or share into an app of your choosing. Share away!
Sucks
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
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
Was great but…

Censorship + Buggy App
Excellent sauf les crédits non cumulables
Obsessed
One of the worst writing tools I have used
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.
Response from developer
Hey there, really sorry to hear about this bummer of an experience. I hope you've already reached out to our Support team at hi@sudowrite.com to share your experience and request that refund. If not, please do so. For what it's worth we agree entirely that a writing tool should both preserve the writer's voice and follow directions. We're just kicking off early beta testing for our new Style Guide feature, which is intended to solve some of the style control issues you're describing. It will be available in the web app first, but make its way to mobile too. As for direction following—which tool was behaving unexpectedly? If you were primarily using Chat, it's worth knowing that our improved agentic Chat feature on the web is about to make its way into the mobile app. So hopefully that's solved within the next couple of weeks! In any case, appreciate your candid feedback and we'll keep it in mind as we work on improvements. Thank you!
The Bugs
At this point I am more concerned about the bugs this app has.
Response from developer
There's a new update available that resolves the copy/paste crash bug you encountered, so please be sure to update. As to the app engaging with potentially spicy content, it SHOULD do that no problem... was it the Chat that replied with muted suggestions? Let our support team know at hi@sudowrite.com — but if you need help in the meantime, we have a thriving community of authors successfully writing more spicy fiction in our Discord server, where they share tips and best practices for working with the AI. That's available at discord.gg/sudowrite.
What’s the point?
Okay
A disaster
Response from developer
Hey Grace, that's no good and I'm sorry for the bad experience. Would you be willing to drop our team a note at hi@sudowrite.com with some specifics? We have some improvements coming to chat and I want to make sure your issues are already tracked. Thank you!
