    Such a great app for people who only use their phones to write and post, or simply prefer it that way. The interface is stunning. It can compete with Scrivener in terms of sorting out backstory and notes. The autocorrect feature automatically includes smart quotes and other formatting details as you write. The Find and Replace option simplifies editing. While the app lacks proper import and export functions and has limited syncing capabilities, these are minor drawbacks compared to its strength in other aspects. I highly suggest giving this powerful free app a try.

    I want to tell you about this amazing app. Learning it is a breeze and it's so organized, I can't even begin to describe it. All those tiny bits of information that usually get lost on paper now have their own designated spots where you can easily review and edit them. It really keeps me going and feels almost like a fun game. If I were to suggest some changes, I'd love for the metadata to transfer seamlessly and for there to be a special place for quick notes and ideas. I'd give it an even higher rating if these features were added.

    What a fantastic app! There are so many choices and ways to personalize it. The one thing that bothers me is that the autosave feature isn't very quick. I often write several paragraphs and then, being clumsy, accidentally touch the 'home' or 'back' button on my screen. When I return to the app, all the recent paragraphs I wrote are gone, and I have to begin again. Aside from this downside, I would have rated it five stars.

    I am so thrilled about this app, it's quickly become my top choice! Can you believe it's free? I've been using it for just a few days and I'm already amazed. It's wonderful because I have ADHD and being able to write and arrange scenes however I like is just fantastic. I do wish there was an option to bring in documents directly as copy-pasting sometimes messes up the format. Also, having options for line or paragraph spacing would be super helpful. But overall, I adore everything about this app and I definitely suggest giving it a try!

    Isn't it amazing how easy it is to write stories on this app? The only thing that worries me is what might happen if my phone gets damaged. I wish the developers could make a backup feature so that I can easily transfer all my work to a new phone and keep writing without any interruptions.

    I'm glad you enjoy the app! Thank you to the developer for making this useful tool available for free. I believe it would be a great enhancement if the app can be used on both mobile and PC platforms. It would enable users to jot down ideas anytime and then seamlessly switch to a computer to refine and expand on their work. While the app may currently favor shorter scenes to prevent lag, this limitation can sometimes interrupt the creative flow when you're deeply engrossed in writing.

    I downloaded an app to write down my ideas. The developer responded quickly to help me, which was great. At first, I struggled with retyping and editing the first document, but now I see it as a way to make small changes. While a copy and paste feature would be helpful, I always try to turn negatives into positives. I updated my initial review from 3 out of 5 to praise the great service and app.
