I can’t wait to get to grips with this

Dribliyj on

Seems to have everything you need to flesh out an idea in a methodical fashion and really makes you feel like you’re getting somewhere long before you even put pen to paper

Great app

Monkeyboy_Forever on

I’ve been using this on my Mac and decided to get it on iOS. Works really well, exactly the same as the desktop version. This, combined with my fave note taking app for the actual writing, means I have a great on the go system for plotting and drafting that syncs with my Mac.

Thank you!

AxelVanHorn on

Long time screenwriter, tried them all. This is it. The app, is a phenomenon of highly thought after functionality, with the user in mind. If the developer isnt one, they either married or kidnapped a writer. The price is right, and thats why this will sell again and again, contrary to the competition who try to milk the user with the subscription malarkey. Thank you!

Book app.

Seems ok.

So useful

jazwaz86 on

I can’t speak to how well this app serves seasoned writers but i can attest to its usefulness for us novices. I am in the middle of penning what I hope to be my debut novel and have found this little known gem invaluable. Pros; Can work on multiple projects simultaneously while keeping everything separate and organised. Keeps everything in one place and is easy to tag themes, locations, plots, characters, making it easy to world build and develop ideas. Helps keep things on track as you can easily access an idea or thought to work on by searching key terms. I found with a physical notebook (of which i have hundreds!) I often lose ideas or scene starters i scribbled in a moment of inspiration. Here i can always find them Supports split screen which is immensely useful when needing to research the density of air or the speed of light. While in the distance of writing a scene, so as not to lose my flow, I will fill in uncertain measurements or facts with [x] and then afterwards I will go back through and add them in later. The ability to split screen on iPad is essential to this purpose. Additionally, I like being able to Pinterest open with my inspo boards while I write. I tend to write directly in the app, but of course if you are writing in a word doc, the split screen function would be ideal for this as well. I like that I can add photos for the locations and character helping me to visualise and become immersed in my story. It also helps keep things consistent having that constant reference available. Cons; I quite literally can’t think of any. I love this app. If you are a budding writer, get it!

Great for Capturing Ideas

Lydia Mae. on

I like having a specific place on my phone to keep quick notes and ideas I have for a story when I’m out and about rather than loose bits of paper (adhd). Years ago I was using an app that I can see in the App Store hasn’t been updated since 2016 or something so I downloaded this one instead. One thing I think story planner is missing that I found really useful in the other app is the ability to add character relationships! I suppose the tag feature could be used to show groups of characters together but I would also like to be able to have a list of the characters friends/relatives/enemies/whathaveya on their profile.

Awesome app, but I can’t use it on my laptop :(

Abney2007 on

This app is amazing, and I can’t fault it. It would get 5 stars if it were available on windows

Really helpful for novel writing

MartyMcPayne on

Story Planner is so great not just for novel planning. But, more critically for those of us starting out for novel writing - it helps introduce the concepts needed to write a satisfying novel.

Great for book planning!

gimleybob on

I’ve been using this app for months and recommend it to a lot of other writers I know. I’ve had no problems with it up until recently where every time I try and change the order of some of my existing scenes, change the notes or description, or their main plot, they instantly revert back to how and where they were before and I cannot change anything. Not too sure what that’s about, but I love the character planning and the setting planning and it helps to clearly plan a novel, just a bit frustrated with this bug rn.

Limited

Naj_I on

Can’t see what this brings that any other note taking app doesn’t offer. Not greatly customizable. I would’ve preferred to be able to add more than one image to pages. Only used for a couple of days and started looking for something that would allow me to add multiple images and web links/snippets from web pages. Have already moved to a different app. Seems to work for some, but for me this was an absolute waste of money.
