Book Write - Extensive Writer

Deleted everything every time no matter what I did I saved and that stuff but it still deleted it so definitely no

I might be using this wrong and honestly the app is great and helps organize my work. The only problem is that when I’m writing, the space to write is very small and I might be writing in the wrong place but the really small space to write makes it hard to read over.

I wanted to write a book because I just wanted to brainstorm random ideas. Anyways you know when there’s a book on a device and when your writing the lines go down well that’s not how this works- the lines don’t move and it marks when you write as it’s a diary. You have to scroll on one line to see what you wrote. Just not what I wanted.

Haha, yeah. It actually needs ANY help or FAQ because it has none that I can find. If there is one, maybe put it out there where it can be found, and all these bad reviews will stop. Really, is there any user guide anywhere? If so, please tell me where it is and move it somewhere so that everyone can easily find it. It's not intuitive, from what I can see, so not having a user guide pretty much makes it useless. What I can see is actually less usable than my own file organization in Google Docs. This is frustrating because, from the description, it obviously looked good to me, and there are a few good reviews; I know that sometimes what works for one person won’t work for everyone. I expected more. I’m a moron for paying for it right away. Did you have anyone test this software? While poking around looking for the user guide there were a couple of places where the only way to navigate out was to restart. Does it have a place to work on outlines? The character sections are just notes, which for me, is fine because I have my own format for character creation, but maybe some structure would help some people. And what about world-building-type notes? I write fantasy, and I end up with tons of world-building notes. Does it do anything to pull everything together into a publishable format? Actually, just tell me how to find the user guide, and if it's coherent, I will upgrade this review somehow.

This is an honestly okay app, but I don’t believe the one star OR five star reviews are really covering the contents of Book Writer. It is a writing app that has an odd format, doesn’t really need to be paid for(from what I see), and doesn’t offer a lot besides the basics. It, however, does have some neat features. The character section where you can log your characters is a good touch, and it’s pretty straightforward on how you write with it. The only reason why I think it’s so mediocre is because you don’t get the best format. When you open the app you are given three sections: Draft, Story, and Characters. When you click on the story tab you are take to a screen that says “title” and “outline”. It is sort of similar to a review panel like this, but I’m personally not accustomed to it. I believe this app could improve if you had a more dedicated space for writing instead of a simple pop up tab. It just feels like it’s not taking the writing seriously. Though, I think YOU, the person reading this review, should download it to see if you would like it yourself. It could be very useful if you would want to utilize more. It is very financially handy since paying for anything isn’t exactly required.

So at first I loved this app. It was a really good tool to write a book. But today I checked and all of my chapters were gone. I was really dedicated to my book on mental health and I even saved it. Very disappointed.

I just downloaded this and I don’t really have much of a problem with it. I read others reviews and they said it wasn’t good but I think it isn’t bad. I’m able to make my own short story! I’m still working with the app and figuring out everything but overall if you want to download this app, it does need patience. So yeah I think it’s cool :-)

It would be a so much better app if did not need to pay! Then it would be go to writing app I’m deleting it

I honestly don’t understand all the bad reviews? I downloaded the app, and started creating my book. I didn’t use the “drafts” or “characters” feature although those are nice features to have. The first page literally says that it is the first page and all you have to do is edit it to say what you want it to say. Then add new pages as needed. The screen that shows all pages will show the first line only until you tap on it. That’s understandable, considering that hopefully you will have a lot of pages and this will help you to find one quickly. I like that you can add notes to your pages and outlines to the chapters. Anyway, once you get your pages saved then you can go back out to the previous menu and it will show you previews of each page that you can then click on. And these previews are like thumbnail images of what the whole page looks like. That’s the best way I know to describe it anyway. But I used it with no problems. My work was saved to the cloud and it was still there when I went back to it later. This app may take a little patience of figuring it out the first time you use it but I honestly found it to be a useful little app.

I like how you can see the books and drafts on it, but, I don’t understand how people create pages on it. I have had this app for a while now and I still can’t figure it out. 😤😣
