Ratings and reviews

This has been my go-to since I've found it, it's very flexible and as a visual person myself it's set up is clear and concise. I especially like the links between characters, groups, places, species, objects and the perspective or relationships that the characters have between them. I can't say it's a perfect app, but for me it's the best I've found.

Amazing app I've ever used. Prior to using this I'd just write all my book info on my notes but when I switched to a new phone it was difficult and time consuming to transfer everything over. I love this app because of the template, pinboards, and the fact that it all saves and can be accessed across multiple devices. This made working on my story easier and better. Aside from that I was surprised at how quick the team responded and fixed a bug, they're reliable.

It's definitely useful for larger stories with a lot of characters and plot threads, and I love the pinboards. Though I will say that I miss the old formatting of the "perspectives" on character links. When I write a paragraph on the different character perspectives, it's inconvenient for me to keep scrolling to the side rather than having the whole paragraph laid out in front of me It's also a bummer that desktop is no longer free. That's kind of the only reason I would get the premium option
