User Reviews

Novelist is strong for free, distraction-free organization of writing with plotting/outlining features, but suffers from syncing/backups issues, lacks undo/redo, and can be confusing to learn, with limited developer support.

Pros

Free with no ads or in-app purchases
Highly organized all-in-one writing, plotting, outlining, and scheduling tool
Easy to use with a clean, simple interface
Great for keeping ideas, notes, and world-building in one place
No ads, distraction-free writing environment

Cons

Sync across devices is unreliable or stops working
Backup/restore flow can cause data loss or confusion
No undo/redo functionality
UI/UX can be confusing with unclear icons and workflows
Support response from developers is limited or unavailable; issues with compatibility

Only been using the app for a short while but it’s blowing my mind because usually simple functions would be paywalled or something stupid, but this seems to be genuinely free and genuinely very useful. It’s so simple yet so customizable and the fact you don’t need to make an account for it makes it even better. Everything’s just there, perfect. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It works great and I love that I can send it out. My only problem is that there are no different fonts and the tab but that doesn’t matter do much. It is exactly what I wanted when I got it though.

I have been using this app for like two months and it is so glorious, i love it and it is so good for all my 20+ story ideas! I love how you can set the cover and i love how it organized it is! But one thing i don’t like is that there is no pages, so i dont know how many pages i wrote so far, there is no pick your page size or numbering and that makes it hard since i like to print out my books. One more thing, whenever i use the arrow buttons on my keyboard to fix something it sends me back to the other letter/sentence and to fix that i have to exit out of the whole app and go back in, other then that it is an amazing writing app!!! I hope you found this helpful! Peace out ✌🏻
