Description

Serious writers need serious tools to help with their work. Writing Shed has been designed with you, the writer, in mind. It is more than a word processor, it is a complete management tool for novels, short stories and poetry.
MULTIPLE WRITING PROJECTS
Most writers know there is a lot more to the task of writing than creating documents filled with text. For example, poets typically have hundreds if not thousands of poems. Novelists and short story writers have a similar problem. Writing shed allows you to split your work into projects so finding documents is simpler and faster
MULTIPLE VERSIONS
Usually there will be several versions of each poem/scene/story. Writing Shed lets you create multiple versions of a text without having to create a new name for each.
BUILD OUTLINES
You can build plot/character and location outlines for novels and short stories.
CREATE COLLECTIONS
Build collections of texts for sharing/printing/submitting.
RESEARCH
Import research material including PDF, HTML and image files.
REMINDERS
Add events to the Reminders app to keep track of completion dates, magazine submission windows, competition deadlines and more.
WORK ANYWHERE
Writing Shed can use iCloud to automatically Synchronise your work between your devices (including the forthcoming Mac OS version of the App).
TRACK SUBMISSIONS/KEEP HISTORY
In addition to document management the app provides features that let you track work submitted to magazines, competitions, commissions and other places. Add reminders to the Reminders App. The app maintains a historical record of all your submissions

Wonderful writing and outlining app

Christopher520 on

I would highly recommend this app to anyone who is interested in writing. It has something for everyone, templates are provided for Novelists, short stories or anyone interested in writing poetry. I have read all of the older and mostly negative reviews in regards to this app. I did experience some lost work in the beginning but once I took the time to read the help files, that was the end of my issues. Take the time to read the help files. It will greatly enhance your understanding and functionality of the app. In regards to support, I have found all the negativity to also be unjustified. I had a very minor issue that wasn’t even related to the app and I worked with the developer on resolving the situation. I can’t say enough good things about Keith. We exchanged emails daily while he worked to troubleshoot my issue. The developer is very passionate about this app and will assist you in resolving any issues you might run across. No app covers every base and there are small things that can be added to improve the quality of the app but for the price I honestly have no complaints. My suggestion is play around with the app first. Read the help files. There is a lot to this app that it’s easy to overlook at first. I look forward to using any future versions of Writing Shed. I hope you will enjoy using it as much as I have.

UPDATED REVIEW, OCT 7, 2020: I’ll still have to maintain that many developers—not just Mr. Lander—need to spend more time/energy/money on the coding process. Especially if they expect consumers to invest their hard-earned money in a subscription. As I indicated before, I like the UI and features of this app, so I tried Writing Shed again, and it seems to be working okay now. But I have been through this before—three times. At this point I simply can’t trust it with my work and I am reluctant to spend any more of my own time with it. I would like to see how other, especially “more representative”, users are faring with it. UPDATED REVIEW, OCT 4, 2020: DEVELOPER SEEMS TO HAVE FORGOTTEN OUR BACK-AND-FORTH EMAILS OF WELL OVER A YEAR AGO. SEEMS UNDERSTANDABLE BECAUSE OF THE TIME THAT HAS PASSED. HOWEVER, TO LET USERS OF THIS APP LANGUISH IN EXPECTATION OF ITS IMPROVEMENT—WHEN THEY NEED TO ACTUALLY BE USING IT—IS NOT SOMETHING I’D BE PROUD OF. AND NOW A SUBSCRIPTION? PERHAPS THE BUGS AND CRASHES HAVE NOW BEEN FIXED, BUT I DON’T SEE ANY REVIEWS THAT WOULD INDICATE THAT. ANYONE? Old Review: Lost text, crashing, too few bugs/glitches worked out—a pity because I really do like the UI and features of this creative writing app & submissions record keeper. Needs to be snappier, more reliable, better file management, better export, syncing, and versioning. What can readers do to convince developer to invest time/energy/money in coding?

I've just downloaded this app - 14 December - and the first thing I'm welcomed to is that my 14 day free trial ends on 17 December. I've got news for you - the free trial ends now - trashed. If that's how you welcome potential users, I don't want this app.

Crashes when trying to open (Update)

SoCal Lady on

App has starting to crash and won’t open on iPad Pro. Hope for a fix if not it’s totally useless . Too bad because it was my go to app when writing. UPDATE. My iPad Pro was purchased two years ago. It’s updated with all the latest IOS. I stopped using this app because it kept crashing. The developer contacted me and asked a few questions recently. I decided to delete the app and reinstall it on the chance it would work again. It did. I am very pleased and plan on using it once again as my ‘go to’ writing app.

Working on some issues.

This app works great! I am having some issues with lost work from a previous version of the app when it was updated but I am very happy with the response and help going into the recovery of my work from the cloud. Fingers crossed it all works out! 😁

Program fixed and now working and enjoying it.

Update #3: Developer and I worked directly through on these problems. It took a couple days, but we found what was causing it and now the program is working as the developer intended it to do on both the mac and the ipad. He really did put the time in to fix this problem and we solved it and now I am getting into it. Update #2: Msg to developer: Thanks for all your help, but none of the problems have been repaired and the program still locks up whenever I open it. Tried all your suggestions on iCloud sync, even uninstalled/reinstalled it and program still freezes up... still want to like this program, but it does not like me... Msg to developer. Thank you for your reply. I have not answered because I have been too busy of late with no time for anything else. Anyway, I had a few spare moments today and tried the program again. It opens up, but when I try to do anything on it, the program immediately locks up solid. I attempted the feat of adding a new project. It just jammed and then crashed. I tried it several times to no avail. I am on an ipad 10.5, 256gb, with the latest update of IOS. That should be easy for a program like this, but it just locks up. I really want to like this program. I purchased it on both the ipad and the Mac to replace Ulysses, after it went to monthly subscription, and because of how this program is designed for long projects, which I do many of. However, every time I try it the program lets me down. On the Mac it seems to clog up the system so that the memory and the program cannot keep up with each other to produce that rainbow wheel going around. On the ipad, I updated it, and now it just freezes up and crashes. I have a 10.5 pro, 256gb, so this should not be a problem. Again, I really do want to like and use this program, but....

Can’t even open

Specialk2880 on

I’d give zero stars, but not an option. I can’t even open the app and am afraid all I’ve written is gone.

Horrid app.

Mnrker on

Lost all my writing in this app. 1 novel and several short stories and articles. Buggy, impossible to navigate. The developer is always pleading mea culpa but frankly, I wouldn’t have this app again. Lost so much valuable writing. Just disappeared. Horrible.

:/

App was working great but now it won’t open (started about 3 weeks ago). So all the poems/stories are unavailable to finish being written or moved else where.

As promised, found how to export

And it is a sleep way. Select the text, press share, and add any app you want share this will. I selected one of my markdown apps, and it works,
