Features & Capabilities

How do you like to write? Do you curl up on your sofa with your iPad, sit at a proper desk with a laptop and coffee, or draft on the go with your iPhone? You never know when you might have a great idea! Narrative gives you a calm, focused space to write, wherever you are.

• Sync across your devices Your work saves as you type, and syncs to the cloud in real time. It works offline too, syncing again once you're back on a network.

• A focused writing environment A clean, minimalist interface with focus mode, dark mode, and customizable fonts. No pop-ups, no productivity pressure — just room to think.

• Proofreading that respects your voice Grammar, spelling, and style checks across multiple languages. It highlights issues and makes suggestions — but you decide what to use and what to ignore. Bend the rules however you like.

• Word count goals and progress tracking Set goals and watch your progress build, one word at a time. Small, steady motivation for finishing what you start.

• Notes alongside your writing Attach notes to your whole project or individual chapters, right next to the page you're working on.

• Private, even on a shared device Sign out, and your writing is removed from the device. Sign back in on any device, and it's downloaded fresh from the cloud. Handy if it's not just your eyes that get access to your phone.

• Import and export freely Bring existing work in from DOCX or TXT. Export in DOCX, TXT, or EPUB whenever you're ready to share.

• Real help, from a real person Need a hand — or just fancy a chat? Our in-app help is a person, not a bot.

Start with a free 14-day trial, then keep writing on a free plan or subscribe for unlimited access.

Whether you're deep in a novel, shaping short stories, or just getting started — Narrative was made with you in mind.

User Reviews

Users highlight Narrative’s strong cross‑device syncing, a clean, writer‑friendly UI, and built‑in tools like word count, goals, stats, and chapter organization, plus responsive support. However, reliability issues recur: lag that worsens with longer manuscripts, and reports of data loss or overwritten progress when switching devices. Reviewers also note occasional bugs and navigation glitches that affect scrolling and editing. A few say it’s best for shorter projects, and some express subscription/frustration with certain restrictions. Overall, it’s appealing for multi‑device writers seeking a streamlined workflow, but performance and data integrity problems limit its long‑form suitability.

Pros

Excellent cross-device syncing across devices and platforms.
Sleek, writer-friendly UI that is clean and easy to use.
Rich built-in writing tools, including word count, goals, stats, chapters, and a grammar/spell check toggle.
Responsive customer support.

Cons

Lag and performance issues as manuscripts grow.
Data loss or progress being overwritten when switching devices.
Buggy interface and navigation glitches that hinder scrolling and editing.

I honestly love it, especialy since it helps me with grammar too so it's sooo good if your planing on writing a book

Kudos to dev-Mark. Perfect, rapid cross device sync. All the useful features: word count, etc. Will still back up multiple ways cuz glitches happen. I’m more excited about this app than a grown man should be
