Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
- The AI now follows your app language. The writing companion, inline editor AI, contextual edit, and Fact Book all build their prompts and reply in English, Korean, or Japanese.
- Outline labels (parts, chapters, scenes) now display in your language across the workspace and in AI context, so an English UI shows "Arc 1 / Episode 1" instead of raw labels.
- English requests like "rewrite this scene" now apply changes directly, matching the existing behavior.
