User Reviews

Fortelling is praised for its deep world-building, rich organization tools, and writer-friendly templates, with many features available for free. Reviewers highlight strong plotting capabilities and cross-platform usefulness. However, onboarding and login crashes, ongoing bugs, and some paywalled web editing lessen the experience for new users. Overall, the app is powerful for writers who can tolerate occasional stability and access limits.

Pros

In-depth world-building and plotting tools with strong organization features (characters, family trees, outlines, and synopses).
Many features are available for free with minimal paywalls, allowing exploration without constant purchases.
Helpful templates and tools for writers, with ongoing improvements and responsiveness to user feedback.
Cross-platform flexibility, including a web version that complements the mobile app.

Cons

Crashes and instability, especially during onboarding and sign-up, making it hard to start using the app.
Web editing is gated behind a subscription paywall, limiting online editing compared to the mobile app.
Recurring bugs and performance issues that cause crashes or freezes during use.
File management and export limitations, such as difficulty organizing or downloading multiple files at once.

WHY IS FAMILY TREE A PREMIUM FEATURE?? THATS LITERALLY A KEY PART OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. Imma have to stick with the classic board setting to make it or just get a whole different app to do it, I hate that

by Lo*****, 2026-08-03

I’m not typically so upset about these things, but the fact that the family tree is behind a paywall is infuriating. There’s no reason for it to be behind one, and yes, I understand the app must make money SOMEHOW but I feel like only customization features like changing the app logo, or theme and things that don’t have anything to do with storytelling should be behind a paywall. I suppose I can always just find a new storytelling app.
