Write the novel you have always wanted to read. You create the world and the people in it, whichWay writes with you, and whenever the story reaches a crossroads, you decide which way it goes. Your book might begin in a harbour town during the Renaissance, in a city far in the future or in a quiet village by the sea. You choose the time, the place and the genre, then create your characters and give each of them a personality of their own. From there, you and whichWay write the story together, one passage at a time. At the end of every passage, whichWay suggests three directions. Follow one of them or write down your own idea, and the story takes it from there. Page by page your book grows the way you want it to, set like a printed novel and, on iPad, lying open in front of you like a real book. • Ask about any line in your book and get an answer from inside the story • Import a story you started yourself and continue it in your own style • Keep your current book on your Home Screen with a widget • Close the app while a passage is being written and get a notification when it is ready • Export your finished novel as a PDF to print, share or keep • Write in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian or Turkish • Decide for yourself how dark and daring your story may become Your library stays on your device and in your iCloud. To write each passage, whichWay sends the story so far to AI language models, and only for that purpose. Your first passages are free. With whichWay Plus you can keep writing, up to 600 pages a month, and everything you have written stays yours to read and export, even if you cancel. whichWay Plus is available as a monthly or yearly auto renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
