Perfectly structured. Detailed yet simple.

This app is a god send for my neurodiverse brain. The only extra I wish it had would be: a word count [I’m going to hunt for a separate app] and an extra tab for ‘Manuscript.’ Ready to finalise everything and bring it together as one finished piece - I am nowhere near that point, so it’s only a thought, not necessarily an inconvenience. Overall, highly recommend this app. I’ve tried a number of apps that have been great in their own ways but overcomplicated and confusing leaving me feeling disorganised and overwhelmed. This app gives you exactly what is needed and was 100% worth the purchase. Thank you.
Great for Me!!

I've been trying to write a book for a little while, scribbling down ideas, plots, characters etc. Had a look on the App store and thought I would give this a try. It has given me some focus and direction in planning the book so really glad I went for this App. No problems yet and hopefully none to follow as it's clearly set up to help me create my book. I can also stop scribbling in my little book now as I was confusing myself with all my notes. Happy Man.
Great App

The app is great and very simple to use. I wish they'd allow me to use it on my phone so I could add notes on the go from everywhere. It's a shame really but I understand Mac and Iphone are different for builders so it's not possible yet. Another great feature would be to be able to have photo galleries by themes so that you could refer to it from the app. Otherwise, i find it perfect for what i need. It allows me to follow plots and subplots easily. I do the 'save the cat' beatsheet and it's perfect for that. I could easily figure out how and where I missed a beat and come back to it, rearrange the story and plots to make sure it worked out. My characters have lots of notes about them which is always handy when writing and the locations is really helpful as i can take lots and lots of notes and refer to it when needed. It's a really good app, you don't need anything more complicated than that really! 100% recommended.

Stunning application

Bravo to the designer of this app. It is elegant, smart and fabulously useful for planning a novel. I have two books in print so know the value of a good plan (over seat of the pants writing). The way the different parts of this app interweave makes it really valuable. I have just found there is a Mac version along with the one I have on my iPad. The moment I downloaded it, it synced! Amazing. I would only ask that for locations, more images might be allowed. That would be neat.
We’ve reorganized the app settings to make every section clearer and easier to find.
