Ratings and Reviews
Only 1 Flaw with this Good App
I like the app! It’s nice to find a decent name for a character when I write my stories.
HOWEVER, the only thing the developers MUST ABSOLUTELY fix is the TEDIOUS process of going through the “Specify” tab EVERY SINGLE TIME you want a specific female or male character!!!
This MUST BE IMPROVED ASAP!!!!!!
For example: I want to find an English name for a male character. If the first name it gives me doesn’t sound interesting, to keep finding a male English name, I have to REPEATEDLY click “specify”, then the “MALE” gender, THEN *scroll* down to select “ENGLISH” and click Generate. I have to REPEAT that same tedious process OVER AND OVER until I find a name that calls to me or I like.
PLEASE fix this!! It’s been like this for a year, I would be FOREVER grateful if it does soon! This app couldn’t get any better than that (:
PLEASE and THANK YOU!!!
Sincerely,
a desperate/pleading writer
Great for Worldbuilding
I absolutely love this app! It’s vague enough to leave plenty of room for creativity, but it has plenty of information to guide you in a good direction! And I *love* that transgender and non-binary identities are included! I’m a trans guy and it’s so awesome to see representation like that in a character generator. You wouldn’t think it, but only seeing ‘male or female’ in literally everything gets pretty exhausting and confusing for people who don’t quite fit into only one or either category. There’s so much diversity in this that it’s perfect for any writer or artist or anyone who wants to create characters or build a world for them to live in. There’s really so much potential for this! I’m definitely using this app to help me create characters for my novels and webcomic!
This is an amazing app, though here are some ways you could make it even better
I love this app! It is an incredible source to come up with a base for a character when you have no ideas! I do have a couple suggestions to add, though.
You could add dislikes, a quirky random fact about the character, and physical characteristics. Dislikes make up a person just as much as their likes do, random facts are really helpful for the past of the character, and physical characteristics can greatly help in describing/designing a character.
Overall a great app, and would definitely recommend.
