Campfire – Write Your Book

I have used the web version of campfire and I like the way it lets me organize and structure elements. The problem is, it is not built for iPadOS and honestly, I wish it was. I can use the app on my phone, but who wants to write on their phone all the time if they don’t have access to their PC or want to write from their bed without needing to use their laptop? please fix this app so it works on iPad without it displaying the screen size of a phone.

Very cool and unmatched in terms of categorization tools, but it’d be incredible if it had screen optimization for iPad screens.

I love the desktop app but bringing my laptop doesn’t always work. As of July 2024 its terribly inconvenient to use on an iPad. That lack of true compatibility is really the only critic and I know a single developer or small team might find fixing that issue expensive to fix.

I love this app. It’s very easy to use, easy to navigate, and easy to organize things as well. There are some bugs though. I haven’t been able to rearrange my panels, delete panels, or really make any edits to stuff I don’t want in my descriptions. Especially the ones with pre-added stuff that I won’t use. Other than that, it’s a great app.

I’ve been using Campfire for over a year and I absolutely love it. It has changed the way I write, organize, and publish my writing. They are constantly making improvements and they are also wonderful at seeking input from and sharing changes with their online community. Highly recommend for anyone looking to share either writing or gaming material, as the community is full of like minded folks.

Trying to organize in the app feels like scratching chalk board. This is because the organization's movement sometimes doesn't snap correctly or I have to wait like a minute for it to load. And when I have to open something up all the sudden even when I have full internet since opening takes so long it kicks me out of the app.

There's hardly any explanations for anything. Creating a new something always puts it as (for example) "New Character" even though you name them, so you have to manually find the way to change the name for the new character in the list (I mean, come on now...). This app has this AMAZING feature called "tags". It can completely transform the creative process. Problem? Once again, it's unfinished and that's unfair. I can choose from a predetermined list of TONS of occupations, but I have to manually think of... personality traits? How can you tease us with such an incredible and transformative feature to the creative writing process and then completely abandon it at its most important part? I mean, think about it. Instead of thinking about my character and having to imagine the words to describe their personality, why can't I use this awesome tags feature and scroll through a list? It's a million times easier, embraces writers by helping to form new ideas, and y'all just... kinda half did everything. I get wanting to have your app be more open so it can cater to writers of all styles, but you can't just show us a potentially brilliant feature and give us a shoddy product. I'm so disappointed. When I first saw that option of selecting from a list of predetermined items I thought I had finally found a product from someone who understands what a novelist needs... but nope.

I have to log in every time I open the app and it’s super buggy when I try to type. Sometimes entire lines of text disappear when I reopen a section I was just working on. Please make the app functional so it can be enjoyed!

I love this program and I use it on desktop all the time. Writing from my phone is a pain, but I do like that I can add quick notes and ideas on the go. But I also write a lot on my tablet and this app just isn’t made for it. I hope that in the future it’ll be updated to work with tablets as well. Until then, mid app.

I really love using this app and even use it on my computer. But recently when I had tried to use it, it refuses me to log in. I’ve tried resetting my passwords, deleting the app and redownloading, and even creating new accounts. Still, nothing seems to work. And when I try get emails sent to me, I’ll check my inbox only to have received nothing. Maybe its something wrong with my phone but I don’t know.
