### 3/5 — Question for settings

*2020-07-25*

How can I not get new writings and chapters in my notifications? There so annoying and builds up on my phone.

### 3/5 — Writers outlet

*2020-04-05*

I enjoy this app because I sincerely use it as a writers outlet. I like that others can see my writing and comment and I can do the same. I enjoy being able to follow other people and their writings. Though I think there are a lot of bugs to be fixed amongst the app I have trouble with a lot of the navigation buttons and seeing my own writings as well as other people’s writings. The first day I used it I got to see the community but then after it just disappeared and now I see no ones writings or profiles. Is there a glitch or maybe I’m not clicking until he right area. I’m not sure. But I do like what I have seen before. Curious what’s next for the app!

### 4/5 — Great service

*2018-03-29*

So it seems to work great on my iPad, and I was messaged back that the iPhone issues are being worked on... that’s the kind of service and return time that makes me want to keep using something...

### 3/5 — For Writers, but no landscape mode?

*2017-12-13*

While I’m intrigued about trying this out, I’m initially disappointed that there’s no support for landscape mode. Yes, I know the initial design is for iPhone. However, if you want to be taken seriously by writers, who carry an iPad with a keyboard, you really should provide support for rotating into landscape mode.

### 2/5 — Eh

*2017-09-07*

The app crashes whenever I attempt to use it, as does the facebook page. I found it to be the knock off version of another app that I already downloaded. The way that it is set up makes it annoying/confusing as well.

### 5/5 — Great resource!

*2017-07-13, version 1.2.1*

Fantastic resource for getting eyeballs on your creative work and easy to use

### 5/5 — Nice aap for Article writers 👌🏻

*2017-04-03, version 1.1.1*

This app is very beneficial for writers. this app is full of features. Writers can upload, edit and sell their articles very easily.

### 5/5 — Super app

*2017-04-01, version 1.1.1*

Its such a great app for writes. Easy to organize and use.Smooth saving and note taking.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2017-03-28, version 1.1.1*

Great App. Wonderful App. I like so much this App. I am highly recommended this App.

### 5/5 — Nice concept

*2017-03-28, version 1.1.1*

This app could be the most useful app for me. I can write and save anything i like and at the same time, I can share it with the world. If I am not in mood of writing, I cam read. Thats the beauty of this app.

### 1/5 — Writers outlet

*2025-01-19, version 3.5.6*

Can u make this app into a dark mode please

### 1/5 — Can’t read anything on menu

*2024-01-23*

Bad choice of font and background on side menu. White on white is NOT READABLE! If you could make the menu readable, it would be a big improvement because I’ve already almost accidentally deleted my account because I couldn’t read what I was selecting. This is a big problem and is the reason I don’t use the app much.

### 1/5 — Writer’s outlet

*2021-09-14, version 3.5.5*

Just awful. Too many adds and it deleted my poems. I would not recommend!

### 1/5 — Could be better

*2020-11-15*

The idea behind this app is great, I truly use it as an outlet and enjoy that others can see my writing and vice versa. But there are still bugs and glitches that need to be patched, also the amount of Ads is ridiculous. And maybe add in a better explore page. Overall not bad but can use a lot of work as well. 

EDIT: well, I gave it 3 stars on my original review, but shortly after, all my writings were deleted and are nowhere to be found so unfortunately I’m giving this 1 star.

### 1/5 — Heart Attack

*2020-10-08*

Okay so I've literally never written a review in my life, especially not a bad one. But this app nearly gave me a heart attack. I had this app for less than a half an hour, and posted five chapters of a poetry book I wrote. The app must've glitched or something, because suddenly I had access to another person's story. I could change it entirely, delete things and add things. I can't imagine what happened to mine and who could've accessed my story. I wrote it about a friend of mine, and the things I wrote are near to my heart and the fact that someone could've accessed it and done whatever they wanted to scared me. I literally had to log out to get access to my story again. Fortunately nothing happened. But like I said, had this app for less than a half and hour, and it's super glitchy and your writing is not secure. Would not recommend to anyone :(

### 1/5 — Addfree version

*2019-06-11*

I am upset with this app because i paid for ad free and yet it doesn’t give me ad free version. Another ten bucks down the hole. I cant find any other way to notify anyone other than this review. It also crashes, constantly.

### 1/5 — I’m upset with this app

*2019-03-22*

I just downloaded the app and decided to put several of my songs up to share publicly. After they saved I can view them they aren’t showing up in my library and the home screen is also blank. Everything is blank. I’m thinking my lyrics I wrote is out there now and I can’t delete them from this app before I delete the app. I’m so frustrated and knew better than to trust something like this. Kicking myself now.

### 1/5 — Complications with saving and the "book" option.

*2018-08-06*

If you write a book and want to take a break from it, I suggest not closing out of the app. I could not find a way to save it and it all deleted on me. Writings are much more easier to use for stories rather than using the actual "book" option. :)

### 2/5 — Ehhh

*2021-10-20*

So I started using this and I wrote three stories. A couple days after I got the app I had the same problem and he’d access to someone’s stories that were not my own. I deleted the app and reinstalled it. When I went to sign in i clicker I accepted the terms and conditions but but it kept telling me to accept it even tho I already did. Also it took forever to load. 😩

### 2/5 — OK

*2020-05-17*

I really want to give this five stars, but there  are a couple bugs.  If I write and save once it’s fine.  But if I edit something then try to save again, I lose all that’s been added.  Very frustrating.  The other bug, I no longer can see what others have written when opening the app.  Great tool, but needs work.

### 5/5 — Wright On!!

*2021-08-18*

This app is therapeutic for me so far.  There is another part of the app that one could subscribe to but they aren’t being pushy about it.

### 5/5 — The Ultimate Writing App

*2020-05-08*

Been with Writers Outlet fora year
It is an incredible experience to have the freedom to write whatever comes to mind 
and to read the variety of work from all over the world 
Because of the tireless efforts of Jared DeMoss and his great staff this app has become a community of writers from all ages and all cultures 
It is my second home and I am blessed to be a part of it

 Have explored writing app all over the world 🦋You’re still the best 🦋

### 5/5 — Great app-why no reviews?

*2020-03-28*

I love this app! It’s so amazing I can’t help but go on it 24\7. It lets me release my inner creativity and share my stories with others. I love the nice comments I get after publishing a new story , and reading other creative pieces!

### 5/5 — Good for Writers

*2019-08-09*

I love the app! I wanted to get my story out there so I can be heard and listened to, but I couldn’t find an app. So, I searched up and found Writers Outlet. Then, I seen I got views and all that, where I barely got views on WattPad. On Writers Outlet you get notified about a new story written, and can leave reviews and comments,

### 5/5 — Nice but....

*2019-04-25, version 3.4.7*

But please try to make it work offline because I’m a student and I don’t get internet access in school and i get a lot of writing ideas in school

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2018-10-20*

I absolutely love the app! I'm able to share my writings amongst other people. The people I've meet on the app are all phenomenal writers and I thoroughly enjoying reading their works. The support and feedback have helped me in writing even more than before I joined. All the people I've come across are nice, supportive and are honest when giving feedback. I love the app! 

I 100% percent recommend checking it!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2018-08-31*

I can’t say enough good things about this app. The creator is very involved and will respond to anyone who contacts him. The community on this app is amazing and very supportive. There are a lot of talented writers here. It’s a great platform for writing!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2018-07-16*

Everything is great! I use google documents too write, and I can just copy my stories in! I love how it’s so easy too find new authors and honestly I could go on and on but I will try too keep this short. I have no idea why this has such a bad rating.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-09-19*

Fun to share work with others great app

### 5/5 — Best app EVER

*2017-08-07, version 1.2.1*

Amazing and easy to use! Friendly and supportive people who give great feedback and make sharing your writings publicly a fear of the past! 😍
