As someone with ADHD who struggles to organize plot, this app is literally a godsent. It has so many ways of organizing and keeping track of things. Some things can even be tagged or color-coded! I'm smitten with the timeline feature; Been looking for something that does that without costing an arm and leg for literally ever. The Snowflake method was something new to me, but it's proven invaluable. The only problem I have is that sometimes the line spacing gets confused and doesn't update if I change it, or only semi-updates, or just kinda randomly switches around. Not a deal-breaker, but slightly distracting. My only suggestions are maybe the ability to add images into the writer, or places other than the database cards. I'd love to add pictures for various purposes (References, novel covers, decoration, etc.). Also, exporting chapter/section names in exported document versions would be cool, since right now it just exports titles as a "#" which makes navigating exported documents a bit of a hastle. Overall, though, this app is the best all-in-one story planner/writer I've ever used. And I've used a good few.

I would love to be able to give this 5 stars but it seems like every time it begins to look like something awesome, it ends up missing the ability to do basic things. It was designed in such a way that it reminds me of a kid drawing an airplane and then half way through goes "Heck with it... It's a bird" just because more work was involved. There is no way to format quotes in the documents. I can not upload any images. And when you try to upload an image to the mindmaps section, it doesn't allow to resize them. the mind map also has no ability to connect lines to other lines (only boxes and images to boxes and images) which limits that to a very basic state as well. There are no clear instructions for how to use some of these features which results in you spending much of your time figuring it out for yourself. It keeps popping up a message saying that my google drive account is not logged in and when I go to the main menu, it IS logged in. This thing started out to be the answer I was looking for until it became the nightmare I was trying to avoid....and I have no expectations that any of this will be fixed anytime soon (and this was only naming a few problems because I don't wish to go through the whole list if nothing is going to get fixed anyway).

Wow. I am blown away that this is free. Which is why I contributed to its development. Don't pay for expensive software. Instead, use this. Try it out. If you like it, consider supporting them. Beautiful design and layout. Fantastic options available. Data security? They actually care about your data in the sense of making sure you totally control it. Highly recommend this.

Ok, so I really liked this and all the features. But for some reason, whenever I would close the program, it would delete the 4,000 words I had written! I don't know the problem, but don't use this if you don't like having to rewrite your first chapter ten times over.

Love it and really usefull, specially cards are just perfect to profile characters. Also love the simplicity. Only bug i found so far: from times to times i loose the work (just need to download again from google). maybe some plugin/extension or even netbeans deletes it.. don´t know, from a developer to another really nice job, looking forward for version 4.

This app has helped me greatly with my writing, thank you for creating this! And best of all, you've made it free, that's simply brilliant. While I think it could be useful to have hints or tooltips as to what some of the tools are (like the snowflake one) I would still recommend this to people! And I can't wait to see what comes next. It is sad to see this hasn't been updated in a while, but my hope still remains.

I was really excited about this, but then I was unable to access the projects that I created.
2020-08-03 Марина Ласкава I am writing the text. I exit the application, or click on another page. When I return to the main page, the words change endings, or are replaced with others. A set of words comes out. And not always mine ...)) May not perceive the Cyrillic alphabet. A lot of interesting things, but it's a pity that it doesn't work (( Sorry for the negative review...

I have loved this app since the first day I ever got it. I've been able to map out my novel easy but I have been having some features stop after a while until I connect to the internet to reload them. Is it supposed to do that?
