User Reviews

Users praise MyStory.today for its robust writing features and organization tools (chapters, scenes, characters, places, and widgets), smooth cross-device syncing, a strong free tier, and responsive developer support. The app is easy to use and beloved by long-time writers. However, recurring issues center on paid features gating most capabilities (covers, multi-book use) and expensive subscriptions. Data loss and reliability problems are frequently cited—autosave failures, lack of a redo button, widget glitches, and occasional deletions—along with onboarding and account/login frustrations and backup reliability.
Pros
  • Rich writing features and organization tools (chapters, scenes, characters, places, and widgets)
  • Cross-device syncing from laptop to phone and intuitive interface
  • Strong free tier and no AI in the app
  • Responsive developer support and timely bug fixes
  • Easy-to-use, writer-friendly experience
Cons
  • Premium features gated behind the Author subscription; covers and multi-book use require payment
  • Serious data loss risks: autosave failures, no redo button, and occasional deletions
  • Reliability/UI glitches: autosave erasing text, widget glitches, orientation issues
  • Onboarding and account/login frustrations; difficulty upgrading; inactivity-based account deletion
  • Backups slow or unreliable and concerns about backup reliability

This is a great app for writers, it has a whole lot of features, this has been my favorite writing app for six years, I’m currently at 34 books. I have requested many things in my reviews for updates, and then an update comes out with those things 1-2 months later, this app can do no wrong ever, and it is now the only writing app completely free of AI and I hope it stays that way🫶 The app doesn’t deserve the hate reviews from a small bug, all you have to do is mention the problem and the creator will work on fixing it, I have been using the free version ever since I got the app in 2020, the Author subscription only adds a couple features, I hope to one day get the Author subscription because I would love to add covers and finally have aligned paragraphs, having to hit the “I don’t want to support” button every time I enter the app breaks my heart, but I have to wait until I can actually afford a full subscription without having to drop it after a while. Review part aside, I have yet another request, can we have an update on the backups feature? Recently, I lost a big paragraph because my phone died and it didn’t save, it would be really helpful if the backups had a feature that worked faster than the autosave. Thank you for reading, Ginger Wolf 💜
