The only app I've found that helps organizes my stories without having to pay the app permonth.. Great app so far?✨?✨? Simple and nice design~

A worthwhile product for any storyteller.

The only review I feel can appropriately describe my opinion on Story Planner would be to say that, as a screenwriter by trade, I’ve now had two screenplays optioned that were outlined completely using this app.

Great Tool, Room For Polish

I've been looking for something like Story Planner for years, and it does most everything I could ask for. Experienced writers understand that outlining is not a perfectly linear task. You don't sit down and create all the characters in one go, all the locations in another, all the history in another, and then plan from Chapter One to Chapter Done in chronological order. Instead, you often have pieces of ideas - a cool character, but where does he fit in; an exciting location, but how long before the protagonist reaches it - that arise when they feel like it. Story Planner allows you to quickly switch tasks as one idea leads to the next. Add new characters in the characters tab. Go back to the scenes tab and add your new character to all the scenes he should appear in. Update the description of a major location when you suddenly realize that it should be full of venomous snakes by switching to the locations tab. Everything ties together nicely and can be printed into a serviceable, if not specifically beautiful, outline on paper. It allows you to capture your ideas your way, with granular control. If you include a date and time for each scene, the statistics tab will even keep track of how much time has elapsed in your story. Overall, there's a little room for polish. The date and time spinner, for instance, is not very fantasy or medieval friendly, as you find yourself repeatedly spinning the year spinner back to the 1500's twice per scene. It would be nice to be able to set where the spinner starts, rather than always defaulting to the current year. It also only allows for separation into "Acts" and "Scenes", when I would submit that most novels consist of "Acts", then "Chapters", then "Scenes" within chapters. These and a few other quibbles I could mention are very minor inconveniences. Overall, Story Planner is the most brilliant fiction outliner I've seen so far, amenable to everything from brainstorming to final outline. It's become my go to tool for building new ideas, and there's nothing else that even comes close to doing the same things.

A Godsend

Outlining is the bane of my existence. This app (and sister mac app) help me put on the page what's happening in my brain - and I don't have to do it all linearly.

Very well thought out; helps put ideas on paper

This app is a must have for those who have stories in their head. It helps organize them, flesh them out, take the burden off the writer for having to remember all the key details, especially when a new thought pops up that might disappear if not recorded quickly. I would love to see the ability to add new categories and boxes on all the screens and fully customize the app to fit the writer and his/her ideas. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to future updates.

Very good and organized. Good for unleashing your ideas and the fact it doesn't take internet is spectacular

Fantastic tool

I’ve found this a very useful app. The only thing I would like to see changed, at the moment, is for a “history” and “lore” card section to be added. Thanks for the great app, cheers

If you are a creative writer, YOU NEED THIS APP.

I constantly have story ideas running through my head, entire cities of characters that I’m dying to give life to. And I’ve never found an app that allows me to fully flesh out those characters and stories...until now. I love that this app gives me so much to work with and, after I’ve done all I want to get done, I can export the whole deal to Dropbox, then send it to Scrivener where I do my story work. The only thing I need is the ability to move character profiles from one story to another, since many of my characters appear in multiple stories. Other than that, it’s a perfect app for writers?
