## Novelist Reviews in Canada

### ****- "So Far, GREAT!"
I finally found an app that ACTUALLY is great, and easy to use. There’s only o e thing I’d like to see. Being able to insert images. But, otherwise, keep up with the work!!
-- Four outta 5, 2026-01-31

### *---- "Buggy"
I am using this to write my novel.  I have  a few chapters I want to send in for a review.  Can’t be done.  Which makes this useless. What’s the point of writing something if you can’t get it to a publisher?!!!!
-- GaleDoggie, 2025-07-18

### ***** "Best app I found so far for my books!"
Novelist is just perfect for me. When you start a novel, you can chose its name, description, picture, and a choice to get a empty novel or, a empty novel with places for characters, props, settings, themes, extra stuff and more. This is very nice for diaries and any book since you don’t have to introduce everything, especially if you are new to writing (like me). I forgot to mention, you can also organize or schedule, which i have not used yet.                              You can also put pictures in your book, but I haven’t done that yet so idk if it works well. However, i found this glitch in the app that creates flashing lights when you get in the app. Even though, it’s super easy to remove, just click something. The auto-correct definitely works, but not as well as other apps, which i don’t really mind, since it still works for most words. 5 star app!
-- Lychee bunny, 2025-01-01

### ***** "Human"
I have yet to use this app, but the fact that I saw a response to a review that definitely was written from a human just made me immediately think of a five star. I really hate people who use bots to reply and seeing humans replying makes me think that it's a good app. I really hope it actually is.
-- VeilofDusk, 2024-01-13

### ***** "Amazing"
It’s awesome! Unlike most apps, no in-app purchases! It let’s look at your progress, and nothing bad happens!
-- Boomshsakalaka, 2023-09-16

### ***** "Great app to write stories"
I recommend this app its great
-- Choi_bounce, 2023-08-19

### ****- "Amazing, missing auto Sync"
An incredible app for everything you’d need to plan and finish your next story. It has all the tools you’d need and if that’s too overwhelming they give you the option to simplify the app for ease of use. 
Everything is explained well, and the app itself is intuitive and beautiful to look at. 

Only thing that holds this back from being a five star app is the lack of auto syncing between devices. You CAN write on your tablet, and pick up where you left off on your phone… but ONLY if you remember to save and back up your story each time! It hampers flow at a lot. 

If you’re sticking to one device, this is the only app you’ll need!
-- Holyfrap, 2023-04-04

### ***-- "Ver good writing app"
It would be a higher rating if the training videos were longer and had a voiceover explaining everything. it the videos showed someone pressing the buttons it would also be a lot easier to follow along, but once you get the hang of it, I still great. My only gripe about the app itself is there is no spell check/thesaurus/grammar checker built in to it, which will make things difficult when you are publishing. I hope that is added as a future update.

I would also like to add, better options for saving works would also be useful. For example opening and savings books directly to google drive
