I.e. I have to hit the back button 10+ times to get it to work. ### 3/5 — App closes. *2026-07-16, version 3.5* I tried buying a subscription, but every time it closes the app. ### 3/5 — Just one issue… *2026-06-19, version 3.5* The app is great but i can only make two projects before i have to pay but when i click purchase, it kicks me out of the app. Could someone fix this please?? ### 3/5 — It’s an okay app *2026-06-12, version 3.5* Every time I try to go do an upgrade so I can save my book as a pdf, it kicks me off the app ### 4/5 — Good but could be better. *2026-06-10, version 3.5* This app is useful to write books however it’s a bit annoying to type as someone it doesn’t let me and I have to keep doing off and back on again. ### 4/5 — Good app for writing small books and scripts *2026-05-31, version 3.5* It’s a good app but there’s been this weird thing happening after I sign out. Whenever I sign out of one account i made, it won’t let me sign back in unless I reinstall the app. ### 3/5 — Love the app!! Just one problem *2026-05-16, version 3.5* I love this app so much, but I’ve tried to purchase the 1 year upgrade tool, and it keeps closing out the app, yet I’ve tried everything, nothing works, on my iPad and my phone! ### 3/5 — Brilliant but not letting me pay for more than 4 chapters *2026-05-09, version 3.5* It was all fine until every time I tried to pay for more than 4 chapters it would just make me exit the app I tried it on my dads phone too and it was the same result ### 2/5 — Great app but crashes *2026-05-04, version 3.5* I have been writing on this app and enjoying the process but now I can’t upgrade as each time I click to pay it just crashes. I don’t want to lose my work ### 2/5 — its alright *2026-04-26, version 3.5* Whenever i tried to pay for the upgrade, it kicks me out of the app everytime and it does the same thing no matter what device i use, i hope thats not just a me problem. Overall this app is amazing and easy to use, i just wish you didnt have to pay to make more chapters ### 4/5 — Super *2026-04-21, version 3.5* Super ### 3/5 — Fix the subscription *2026-04-21, version 3.5* I got to chapter 4 and it won’t let me write anymore chapters without a subscription, so I’m like cool you know whatever it’s like 1$ a month. I got to buy the subscription and the app crashed. This happened every single time. ### 3/5 — No Reply *2026-04-16, version 3.5* I think this app could be useful. I’ve been trying to subscribe to the premium subscription, but it crashes every time I try. I’ve contacted the app’s support through email many times, but have received zero replies in return. I’ve never seen a company turn down a potential subscriber. ### 2/5 — Won’t let me pay *2026-04-12, version 3.5* Absolutely love this app!! But when i tried to pay for the upgrade it wouldn’t let me! Now im stuck on chapter five and can’t do anything and its very depressing because like i stated before I LOVE THIS :( ### 3/5 — Trying to buy the upgrade closes the app *2026-04-10, version 3.5* I’ve been using this app for a few months now. Now I HAVE run into the limitations. And still, whenever I go to start the process of buying it, the app closes immediately after pressing the upgrade button. I would really enjoy it if I could get past the limitations, but it’s hard to do so when I can’t even process the purchase. ### 4/5 — Amazing, but *2026-04-07, version 3.5* The app is amazing and I have multiple books, I’ve been writing. My biggest gripe is that theres no desktop version. I recently got a job where bluetooth devices aren’t allowed in the building, so now I’m just typing in an email and sending it to myself, just to copy it over into the app. If I could logon to a website and access my information it would be amazing, but just restricting to IOS is kind of a hinderance. If there is a website and I just haven’t find it, then this app gets 5 stars from me. ### 3/5 — Un-deletable books *2026-03-26, version 3.5* I was not able to delete any books I did not need. As soon as I pressed the three dots the options would just go away! ### 3/5 — help *2026-03-20, version 3.5* it’s good but it won’t let me sign back in 😪 ### 3/5 — Pls help me *2026-02-23, version 3.5* I deleted a chapter but it had like 3000 words and I’ve spent sooo long doing it pls help me get it back ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes before I can do anything *2026-07-10, version 3.5* Would be a good app but it crashes when I choose an upgrade option. ### 1/5 — Not a good app *2026-06-04, version 3.5* I spent two and a half hours doing a book and when I woke up it was gone and I can’t get it back ### 1/5 — No help *2026-05-21, version 3.5* Unfortunately as much a I love the layout of this app, you literally cannot do more than 5 chapters in a book. I have tried to pay for more because I like the layout so much and the app crashes. I’ve reached out several times for help in the matter with no response back. I’ve tried logging out, I’ve tried deleting the app, I even tried making another account. It will not let me pay the additional costs to have full access, which is a real shame. Obviously if this ever gets fixed I’ll change this review but I don’t have high hopes. ### 1/5 — Crashes everything I try to subcribe *2026-03-31, version 3.5* Sucks… you guys could have gotten paid lol😂 ### 1/5 — Church belong *2026-01-31, version 3.5* Just lost all typing ### 1/5 — App Crashes When Trying to Upgrade *2026-01-29, version 3.5* I love it but I can’t add more than 5 chapters because it crashes anytime I try and upgrade ### 1/5 — Wow *2025-11-21, version 3.5* Your app deleted all of my hard work. I pent hours on a chapter, and it didn’t save. There was no way to get it back. Thanks a lot. ### 1/5 — Can’t purchase subscription *2025-10-22, version 3.5* Would be much better if you could actually purchase the subscription options without the app crashing ### 1/5 — Its not working *2025-10-13, version 3.5* Not working ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2025-09-23, version 3.5* I’ve been trying to use and purchase to test the app and it keeps crashing l. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best Writing app ever *2026-07-03, version 3.5* I will never use another Writing app ever again. This is the best Writing app I’ve ever used. ### 5/5 — TJDB *2026-06-28, version 3.5* I love using this app to write or improve my writing skills myself! Bad thing is that I’d want to buy the subscriptions but they’re bugged to the point of me being unable to pay for them, I seen someone had a similar problem like mine and I’d hope you’d guys would fix this, thank you <3 ### 5/5 — Plz read *2026-06-20, version 3.5* So I put five stars so you could see it but you get to make two books and then you have to pay for it and it came up free it’s dumb but if you wanna pay you will enjoy ### 5/5 — Question *2026-06-11, version 3.5* Can I insert imaging into my chapters? Is it available with a full version? ### 5/5 — Question *2026-05-27, version 3.5* I love this app but one thing i need to know is where too read other's stories? ### 5/5 — AMAZING!!!!!!! *2026-03-12, version 3.5* It is amazing app to write on and is practically exactly like writing a book on a piece of paper! I recommend for 4+ ### 5/5 — AMAZING!!!! *2026-03-01, version 3.5* Greatest. Thing. Ever! But just one note: I don’t like how you have to pay for more then four books at a time:( but I definitely recommend it ### 5/5 — Perfect!!!!! *2025-12-29, version 3.5* I have been trying to find an app to write a book and I just couldn’t find one. Until I downloaded Writing Space. There is nothing wrong with this app. IT IS JUST SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You HAVE to download this app if you are making a book. I can’t get over it. ### 5/5 — Love this App however… *2025-12-18, version 3.5* I love this App for writing purposes. It’s absolutely amazing and satisfies my organization needs. However, I have noticed a glitch within trying to upgrade. Whenever I try to click on a subscription to upgrade, it will automatically close the app. It will not allow me to subscribe. PLEASE FIX THIS! Hopefully I’m not the only one. - with love. ### 5/5 — Perfection *2025-12-11, version 3.5* I love writing and this just makes it so much better --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
