User Reviews

The app is highly regarded for quick, reliable character-name generation and strong, well-made generators, used by writers for years. However, users repeatedly report backstory/extra-content generation errors, purchase restoration/paywall frustrations, and bugs/UX issues with custom generators (including editing limitations and UI design). Some also request gender options. Overall, it’s a powerful, valued tool marred by recurring technical and billing/feature gaps that the developer could address to improve consistency and accessibility.
Pros
  • Helpful for quickly generating character names and ideas
  • High-quality, feature-rich generators that outperform many online options
  • Longstanding, reliable tool that writers use for years
  • Overall positive sentiment and strong appreciation for the app and its developers
Cons
  • Backstory generation and other features frequently fail (e.g., 401 errors)
  • Purchases/restore issues and paywall/friction (loss of access or need to repurchase)
  • Custom generator bugs and poor UI/UX (freezing, editing limitations, large fonts, forced alphabetical order, no descriptions)
  • Missing gender options or gender-neutral naming options

When I make a custom generator and try to change the results it says no options are available and it’s really frustrating. Another issue is the fact I can change the names Phil and Bob at all. I really like the app so I hope this can be fixed!

The game doesn’t allow me to generate backstories,images,etc

I I hit the generate backstory buttons and get a 401 error code. None of the buttons work. CHatGTP does a much better job.
