Amazing concept and execution, just needs some fine tuning
This app is just the thing I’ve been looking for for years. Sick of the same old generic writing prompts that just give you a genre or place or name? If so, you’ll definitely enjoy this app. The prompts themselves are interesting and challenging, you can set a daily word count goal, and you can set a time to be reminded daily to write. A premium subscription even gets you prompt packages such as “Novel preparation”, which has around 30 prompts to get you started on longer works. Other packages are specialized for things like dialogue writing, and other essential skills. With premium, you can also join competitions with actual monetary prizes if you place in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd based on popular vote (I haven’t been able to confirm if you actually do get cash, though). The community is not enormous right now, but it’s active enough that you get to read something new every day, and even get feedback on your work sometimes. You can mark your work as “open to feedback” or not as well to let readers know if you’re still working on it or just doing a one-off exercise. My only complaint would be that there are a few things in the interface that need to be fine tuned. For example, there’s no option to italicize text. It would also be great if there could be an option to mark the status of your writing and have it indicated in the preview so readers know its stats before tapping. Is it just practice? A work in progress? A completed work? There are a few other suggestions I don’t want to get into here, but the people working on the app are very open to suggestions, and quite helpful with my queries and concerns as well. I think, given enough time, this could be a must-have app for writers and readers alike.
