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

I love this app! I’m new to Novelist. As I do more with it, truly learn to navigate within it, I may find limitations. Currently, though, I’m in love. It’s wonderful to see my progress right at my fingertips. I can do everything in the app and see my work in a way I’ve never seen it before. It encourages me to write more. That’s a “win” in my world! Oh, one thing I would change is in selecting text. The only option is Select All. I can sometimes get potions highlighted, other times I can’t. Maybe there’s a trick I’m unaware of. It’s annoying but in no way a dealbreaker.

i generally like this app, but if you want to copy and paste it (to send to a friend or something) you cant, because of the font! it makes all the special characters ( ‘ “ , . / $ ! ?) into a mix of funky symbols! (“ might turn into $*^#!^)
