Ratings and reviews

App is very hard to use. It should not take me that long to import a photo, all because importing a photo from the gallery is a premium feature (that I wasn't aware of until AFTER it made me sign in.) On top of that, the layout's confusing, and I feel this is more of a way to "take notes", not write "novels" which it's being marketed as. Everything is locked behind a paywall. Just use the notes app that comes with your phone. Don't waste your time here.

I love this app, I've used it for years. But there is a consistent bug that has been present for a while that hasn't been fixed. Sometimes, backspacing will delete your entire work. Thousands of upon thousands of words and texts lost isn't worth keeping this around. One star until this issue is fixed. I've had this app on every phone and the backspace will continuously delete my work on each phone...please fix this.

Very upset. Read a couple of articles which said Jotterpad is great for writing novels. Love the typewriter feature - I bought premium. I should have done more research. So Jotterpad doesn't support .docx and .pdf - fine. But after importing my work which is just shy of 300k words, I found out this app is useless for my purpose of editing. First of all, it takes me 3 seconds just moving the cursor to where I want it. And then it takes another 5 to 10 seconds (so far) just to see what I typed!
