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.

Every time I attempt to open my boards the app crashes or tells me to restart my device which I have done and it still doesn’t work :(

Now, I love this writing thingy app. It's so fun and organized. The community is funny and very creative and it's polls and such probably community driven. I'm not in ALL of that but I can understand it. Anyways, the recent update with family trees I think its pro? Like, I completely understand you need to make money but I truly think making that free or a small option free can make it feel like the COMMUNITY can enjoy. Not everyone wants to spend money like they. It's nice to dally with it! I feel like letting it be free could let people have fun while also letting pro have better options..? I'm really bad at articulation and wording so I'm sorry if it's kinda hard to read. Anyways, excellent app, love it. 5/5. 9.4/10!
