THANK YOU!
We’ve spent thousands of hours building Story Planner, and we keep improving it thanks to your feedback. If you enjoy the app, please take a moment to leave us a review—it really helps. And if you have ideas for new features, we’d love to hear from you.
I really like many aspects of this app. One feature I would love to see added is a flexible drag-and-drop visual timeline for organizing and visualizing plotlines against a chronological timeline. This could help flesh out a story's plot structure and be very useful for detecting storyline holes early in the plotting phase.
Developer Response
Thank you very much for your message and feedback. It's really appreciated. Your suggestion on a visual timeline is already in our customers' wish list, and we'll try to implement it in future updates. :)
Can no longer login due to update
Bit :(
Requesting I update on all my devices but I no longer have the old device. So I’m lcled out :(
Developer Response
Thank you for your comment and we’re sorry for the inconvenience. I think there has been a misunderstanding. You don’t need to update your old device. Only the devices you are currently using. The screen that notifies you to update all your devices appears while the current device finishes applying the changes. Do not close it; just wait for this process to complete, and you will be able to access it without any issues. And if you have any doubt, you can write to us at support@storyplanner.app and we will help you.

Sync no longer working
The Illuminary
So first of all I really do enjoy this app. I’ve been using it I think for a couple of years now for multiple of my stories.I’ve always used it on both my iPad and my iPhone.I just came back to it after not using it for a few months and the sync between my iPad and iPhone no longer works. Both devices are fully updated and I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app. I’ve also tried turning the sync on and off on both devices but that hasn’t fixed it. I want to keep using it but it’s a little inconvenient now that I only use it on my phone because of the sync issue. Would really love to see this fixed.
Developer Response
Hello there! Thanks for your comment, and sorry for the inconvenience. We launched an update a few months ago that changed the synchronization system to make it faster and reliable. If the problem persists, please write to us at support@storyplanner.app and we will help you.
Fixed an issue with widgets that prevented users from selecting a project to track its progress.
IMPORTANT: Please note that you’ll need to remove any existing widgets and create a new one for progress tracking to work correctly.
