It’s ok except…

Lovly lucia on

Hi story planner creators! When I first got the app I was super excited. Buuuuuut I was as dumb as a rock to think you can write your story AND plan it. I know can just get another app for writing, but it would be awesome if you could just write too. I was also thinking you could generate a character for the picture section because I have a hard time focusing on what they look like so one time I’ll say they have black and then I’ll say their hazel. Like I was hoping I’d the character would just slowly form as I typed. So it’d be great if you could add these to story planner instead so I don’t need millions of apps to make one story. Byyyye!

It’s Perfect! 🥰📝

Ms.Villanelle on

Story Planner has saved me dozens of exercise books plus endless hours organising my novel’s lore in a tidy matter. The app is incredibly user-friendly and I'm so ecstatic that I purchased it. Critiques • The only issue is that app will sometimes crash. (IDK if it’s a bug or my📲) • Adding colour theme options would be sweet too

Fabulous app

thisisridiculious on

So simple on its face. So useful in action.

Great Story Building Tool

JWM80 on

Very thorough story and world building app. Only issue seems to be when creating PDF’s, the formatting could use a little more work here. But other than that a really good tool.

Fabulous, uncluttered, reliable, easy to use. Well done!

ptwriter381 on

I have used quite a few software tools to assist my writing. Some too simple, some over-complex. StoryPlanner walks that fine balance between providing the write with good functions and recording functions, without locking you in to one particular Theory of Story. Combine the MacOS app with the iOS/iPadOS version of this app and you have a highly portable and flexible writing tool. I have spent today loading up my current working projects and the clarity of the App allowed me to spot a couple of things that would need to change. Finding them early saves multiplying a problem. There is one thing I would like to see included: 1. Props or Objects : In the same vein as Locations, being able to record create and assign Props or Objects would be handy. (Mrs Peacock is in the Library but has she got the Candlestick?) A 'Nice to Have' option would be to be able to import a Chapter / Scene outline as text. You can work around this by creating one or more Story Templates as Stories in the App. Overall score: full points for both MacOS and iPadOS/iOS apps. Well done guys and thank you.

Loving the update!

Also if only i can access it on my windows computer so I can print my stuff!

Change to subscription model unsuitable for families

Diappointed Fam on

Product was great for our daughters to plan their creative writing. Now with the annual subscription mode we’ll need to opt out. Despite what I’ve seen about purchases before subscription not being affected, that doesn’t seem to have flowed through to family sharing so one daughter has lost her work. If you’re looking to use for your school age family, try something else.

Chained at the ankles

Lord Lightning on

This such a promising app, but without import it is chained at the ankles and is therefor utterly useless. It was a year ago that I pointed this out and nothing has happened other than a bit of twiddling here and there. There has been little or no real increase in actual functionality in the last year, or in the year before that.

It’s ok but it needs better design

Jamal-Pasha on

It helps but the design of the application could be much better. Let’s just say it is not pretty when browsing this app. Could be bit fancier

When is the Mac version out?

Ian Derek Bee on

Your website says this is now for Mac, yet it isn't... when will it be ready? I have changed this to five stars. It is actually surprisingly good! Not much documentation, but if you actually have a story, and load it in, and learn to observe and fiddle a little bit, it all becomes quite clear. Seamless across my IOS devices, now I want it on my Macs (hurry up guys!). I'm also hoping we get a print function on the desktop version, with tailored fields, then you can pin up your road map. Oh... did I mention I am agog for the Mac version...?
