### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-04-03, version 0.5.0*

This app is amazing

### 2/5 — Was good at first

*2022-12-25, version 0.5.0*

At first I really liked the app, I liked its simplicity but now there seems to be a glitch every time I write something the screen seems to shake which is annoying but the real problem is when I try to go back and try to fix or rewrite something the screen jumps around to a completely different part of the story and I lose my place which obviously makes it impossible to write. So until this is fixed it’s really not useable unfortunately!!!!

### 4/5 — Good review

*2022-09-29, version 0.5.0*

I was downloading games and I thought this one would be like the other writing games and this one is goodThis one’s better than I thought.

### 1/5 — This apps pretty bad tbh

*2022-09-21, version 0.5.0*

Yes, while it may seem like a good writing app with all its features there are a couple of bugs including data loss in some of your story's. When I get to a certain amount of words it seems to start lagging and trying to kick me out of the app, when it does this it erases what I had just wrote. I don’t recommend this app at all.

### 4/5 — Good but improv

*2022-05-06, version 0.1.4*

Just started using this app maybe a week ago, it’s absolutely amazing and easy to use. Tho, when I have to click the fonts it gets another when you backspace and it still doesn’t change. The app also just lags me out a lot but luckily what I write saves. That’s all

### 5/5 — Well organized app

*2022-04-22, version 0.1.4*

I’m very impressed. This app keeps my writing very organized. You can make different folders - Book, poem, blog, etc. or make your own folders. This app is easy to use and has many features. Speech to text is one of my favorite . I have been writing in this app every day and not having any issues. Similar apps don't give me similar features. Thanks to the developers.

### 5/5 — The best app for writing ever

*2022-01-28, version 0.1.3*

I got the app just to think its like all the other ones but, this app is so different. I love how there are so many features, especially the fact that I can add chapters. 

I wrote a short story and actually got it published to some small libraries. This app helped to carry me throughout some tough times where I really wanted to write a book, but didn't know where to start. 

All in all, WritingPal is a versatile writing app to help jumpstart you into your writing adventures.

### 5/5 — USEFUL DAILY COMPANION APP!

*2021-06-13, version 0.1.1*

I am so excited about finding this app in its infancy! That way we can grow together as it develops! It has quickly become my daily writing app for jotting down quick notes, lists, todo items, grocery lists, etc. and has become my constant companion!

### 5/5 — Best speech to text app for iPhone

*2021-06-03, version 0.1.0*

Is the best speech to text app I’ve found for an iPhone. Does an impressive job.

### 5/5 — Great Writing App

*2021-05-27, version 0.1.0*

As a student, I really appreciate how the essay capabilities of this app mark it easy to create essays in MLA format from my phone.
