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.

Recent reviews

I am a young writer who mostly does fantasy, dystopian, and romance. I was looking for something in which i could organize my thoughts and try to get facts down about my world when I came across fortelling. I assumed it was like any other app-laggy on a phone, formatted weird, pay to use-but i was amazingly surprised when I opened the app and it looked amazing! Organized interface, detailed charecter plans, multiple story timelines and plots, planning, web charts, photos, and writing all in one place for unlimited use on a phone! No downsides that I can see!
