Generic

I don't know what other reviewers were seeing that I wasn't because mine were exceptionally generic, prompts from a "I know I'm a mature 5th grader" or "I know I'm mature - barely graduated HS student … of course, I'm going to college" … I probably have to train the algorithm (in portrait? Nope. Not everyone can) but dismissing a dozen kept them coming … all bad. I think it's time Apple and every other developer realize some people have physical limitations that make portrait orientation typing painful. An amputee is an amputee; these don't work for us.
Prompts weren’t helpful.

I don’t think I used this app correctly. The prompts seemed random and not in line with what I was in the process of writing.
Great Prompts
Cheap and Lazy
I prefer to use pen and ink for creative writing. So I only use the app for the prompts. I’ve used a variety of techniques over the years to keep my writing and ideas free flowing and these are truly excellent.
Great app, but full accessibility with voiceover could make it more useful
Melissa Roe
This app has great potential for those who need a helping hand to inspire you to write, but those who use Voiceover may find the experience a little less than enjoyable. First, let’s look at its positive notes. For the most part, the app is easily navigable with voiceover, so those who are blind won’t have too much difficulty getting around the app. The button labeling is a bit off, but it’s very easy to understand what the buttons do. With easy access to the text fields to type notes, it’s certainly easy to write to your hearts content, and the starting lines can be quite interesting, and may even take you down an entirely different path than you’d expect. Those in my mind are a huge plus for this app, especially the daily reminders. We could always use that little motivator to get us going. Here’s where the app falls short for blind users, however. First off, developer response is lacking. I have been struggling with writer’s block, and need to finish a few pieces of work, as well as get a short story published for a local magazine, so when I began my research, many sites kept recommending this app. I was excited and desperate to buy the app and give it a go, but of course, before I purchase any app, I either turn to applevis.com to look up the ratings, or I email the developer to ask if the app supports voiceover. My email generated no reply, but with all the positive things coming out of this app, I finally decided to take the plunge and download it. While I was thankful for most of the features to have full functionality with voiceover, there is one that is a huge show stopper for me. Every now and then, we need that extra spark of inspiration, and that’s one of the things this app claims to help out with, but the bolt button simply isn’t useful for those who use voiceover. Pushing this button didn’t pop up a dialogue box where I could read the idea, nor did it give me an element on the screen that I could easily navigate to in order to read what information the bolt had provided. From what I’ve been able to understand, it seems like the text quickly pops up on screen, then disappears, most likely to give you room to work on your project, but for voiceover users, this is a huge problem. When text comes up on screen, such as an alert or otherwise, we can usually navigate to it with voiceover gestures, or if it is implemented, voiceover will read the text that pops up aloud. With this app, we do not get any audible information, nor can we navigate to the text that comes up as a result of pressing the bolt button. That was a disappointment for me, because that was the main reason I purchased this app. I have other note apps, and even Scrivener on my Mac, so writing projects and saving them could have easily been done. It was the bolts of inspiration this app provided that led me to the interest in this app. Sadly, that is the one function I am unable to make use of. If this app were to ever get updates in the future, my only hope is that full implementation of voiceover will be considered for those among us who have a visual impairment. I’d love to get full usability out of this app, and my only hope is that our voices aren’t being ignored, because so many people could benefit from this amazing program. Thank you.
Love the app

Really love the app but it would be great if one could download it for Mac computer. Just saying
Needs to provide prompts throughout various writing assignments
Redhead Weirdo
This is Brittany Daniels. For this app to be useful for me it first needs to ask me what I am going to write. Then it needs to give me prompts along the way that are adapted to the writing assignments I currently get and will get in the future while I am working on getting an A.A.S degree in Design and Media Production from Georgia Piedmont Technical College in Clarkston, GA. This is coming from a part time working low income adult college student diagnosed so far with autism, generalized anxiety disorder and dyspraxia who has a very hard time getting her thoughts onto a blank Word Document, because thoughts go so fast to my brain, by the time I go to do whatever writing assignment my professor has currently assigned, I forget what I am going to write. Not many or any apps out there to help me with writing, especially when I am a visual learner who needs prompts along the way of any writing assignments to be given to me to help me get my thoughts down. Also being able to export to Microsoft Word & PowerPoint and other software, like any software under the Adobe CC 2019 collection is going to be very useful for me. Any help will be needed.
Great for simple writing

I think this app is great for typing little things or some short stories that come to mind.it is great for writing and shows a clear view of all the stories created. I just wish there was some more options like the ones on computer writing softwares. I.e underline, bold, italics And most of all I wish i could use TABS
Unstable and Unhelpful
Shmcc
The app deleted all of my writings that I had over the years and the newer ones, but it also won’t save any of my current writings—giving me a bunch of error codes. When I look for options to help me, it’s nothing but promotion for the app rather than instructions or support. I’m just extremely disappointed.
More options would be a plus.

It’s simple and easy, and helps me get past the hardest part of writing: The very beginning. But my initial impression was that it gives actual, full prompts. Not just half of or one and a half sentences. In my opinion an option for a couple sentences giving extra guidance as a prompt would be a plus. Along with the ability to underline, bold, italicize, and highlight, a folder option would making using the app a breeze. Or at least an option to organize how you see what you’ve written instead of it being one long list. It’s a very useful app for practice but it would be nice if it was more than just for that. I do love how it shows the to-date word count, probably the neatest feature.
