Writerly

Eh

At best you can call this a (slightly) interactive slide show. I say slight because if you purchase an addon you can click a few buttons that do absolutely nothing of use whatsoever. I gave it 2 stars because it does have a modicum of useful tips however you can find these for free on any given How-To-Be-A-Writer blog. Save your time and money; this isn't the tool you think it will be.

I wrote a review before they revamped it, and I still think the app is good. I’m glad they incorporated a view of your progress. I wish there were more options for the widgets other than the add-ons you have to pay for. I’d like for it to be the timer, or the exercise you need to complete. It’d be great to see a widget for something you’d use the app for every day. Even still, it’s a great app!

After looking around the program for fifteen minutes, I bought all the add-on modules and can’t believe how much rich, creative, and varied content it contains. The tiny price the developers are asking for such a beautiful and useful program is almost a giveaway. They have done a fantastic job of blending information and inspiration in a visually rich interface that is as entertaining as it is informative. I look forward to every day’s writing prompts and all the information I’m learning about characters. Huge thanks for a fantastic job. I can’t wait to see what shows up in future updates.

This app seems pretty neat-I would call it a companion app with prompts, exercises, etc. You do not write within the app and everything is an in app purchase

One thing though. Support appears to be down. Also, there’s a typo on the “Clearing” section. Form should be from if anyone wishes to fix it. “...but if form time to time you glance...”

Fabulous content filled with an abundance of information to help get your creativity flowing. Purchase the additional packs, they’re reasonably priced for the exceptional value they’ll add to your inspirations.

This is a lovely app! The exercises are really helpful for me when I’m trying to get myself in the mood to write. My only complaint is that all the prompts are the same, it seems like it’s set up to be a random prompt, but it isn’t. Aside from that it really is a wonderful app that is exactly what I needed! Thank you for all the hard work that you put into this app.

So I actually downloaded this app assuming it was just another app to jot down my thoughts and ideas. But reading through, I’ve come to find it’s full of great pieces of advice and exercises to improve your writing. I’ve tried the very first exercise on the list and I realized this actually works if you apply yourself to it!!

I only read through the instructions of the very first clearing exercise and can tell you this is EXACTLY what writers need. Thank you Waverly! 5 stars
