Amazing app but can improve
ixberrios

The app is an enormous help! It’s better than expected. But it should use pictures for a visual representation to not be switching from this app to a browser to search for a word that you might not know.


Extremely useful!!
Sexy starfish!

I love this app much! It’s very helpful. However, it would be awesome if I could make lists and categorize them by whichever story I am writing. Over all it’s a great app ?.


Editing Lists
Sugarplum365

The lists are excellent and comprehensive, but the app is a little clunky. It shuffles, but it’s not very powerful otherwise. I want the ability to edit the lists, insert whole new lists, or reorganize them as I see fit.


Thank you!

I have been looking for something like this. I can really focus on each character in my story and organize them on the go! Love, love, love this app!!!


The app need to be updated
Nouf____

I wish the app contain search bar and better UI design the black border around table are annoying giving the app cheap feeling like it was made by someone who is still learning how to develop apps, pulse it would nice to be able save my favorite words since I can’t even search them


Not bad

Still in my early days of using this app. Working on converting my original work from floppy disk has been made a bit easier. The layout is a bit confusing but once you get the hang of it it’s all gravy. Will update more stars after I have a full year of use.


Incredible, just wish it was free

I looooove this app so much! It gave me just what I needed when I needed to create a character in a book I’m writing. It’s one of the best apps I’ve ever used and I would definitely recommend it. However, I don’t really think it should cost money. It’s great and all, but I told my friend about it and she said she couldn’t get it because it wasn’t free. I suggest you make it free and/or take the price down. Then, you might get more customers. Thanks for creating an app that I love!


MUST GET
#1FanOfThis!

I’ve had this app for ten minutes and I’ve tried it and I LOVE IT! It has accurate informational lists of everything you need to plan your story or character. It would even be helpful for people needing a simple informational app to tap into instead of having to search it on the complex internet. It has lists from names to locations, to zodiac signs, to physical appearances, and more! IT’S LITERALLY PERFECT! SERIOUSLY. THE SIMPLEST AND MOST HELPFUL INFORMATIONAL PLANNING APP IS ONLY 3$! Best money I’ve ever spent!


Thank you so much for this

Hi I’m a writer my friend and I love this app!! And my friend hasn’t even gotten it yet, but I told her all about it and we are bouncing with brightness and joy!!! Thank you so much for this app, but I have to admit, I feel much disdain for the apps in the creative writing bundle. I don’t know how others see it, but it’s not your story if it’s not your idea. That, is copy right. I mean, it’s fine I guess if they let you copy it, and you won’t publish it. But if your gonna be a published author, especially for a series, you need your own ideas. But again, sorry, I love this app. My friend and I would love it if you could make another app similar to this, but with tips, like how to set a scene, and writing examples, and what to do and how to prepare and plan if you are writing fantasy, or sci-fi. I right now am planning a LOT for a series I’m writing called Steel and Scale. I am GOING to publish it, so do not take it, readers. Thank you. I feel like I’m just blabbering I’m so thank you for this app and hope you all stay safe and healthy.


Love it

This App is helping me use the right words while I write my draft for a book. Thank you
