Ratings and Reviews
Like but Needs Work
I am enjoying plotting and character development aspects so far. However, it has crashed on me several times and every time I try to figure out how to export my outline to Word or Scrivener, I cannot figure it out. All the videos seem to cater to the desktop version. It is also hard to scroll through your timeline on an iPad. It just tries to move things around instead of moving forward in time.
Deletes Notes from Windows Desktop
Update again, app plays nice with IOS and Windows since the last patch! I can go back and forth between operating systems without erasing notes due to text formatting issues. For Linux, the webapp works great. So, 5 stars again if it stays reliable.
Old review, I’ve been using this app since Plottr Pro launched and haven’t had a single sync issue with desktop (outside of a few text formatting issues.) I use this app on my tiny iphone to take notes on the go, and I do the bulk of my plotting on a Windows desktop. The app is imperfect. Glitches have come and gone. Text formatting I do on Windows often gets stripped out, like removing line breaks and colored text. Actually, no colored text at all on mobile. But the app works! And nothing critical has happened to my work. Plottr doesn’t have the best GUI, but my plotting gets done, and that’s all the matters at the and of the day. With this program I can get back to what Really love, writing and editing novels. Plottr makes the painful first step of plotting a little easier.
Buggy. Not useable. Do not buy.
Several people have already complained about not being able to navigate the board and end up just selecting and moving items. I see there are even some complaints about this from a year ago. The same problems exist, and this app should be pulled from the App Store until the fundamental bugs have been worked out. I tried using my finger and my Apple Pencil to navigate the board. No success with either. This app also corrupted one of my projects. Fortunately, it only renamed it to some weird string, and no data was lost. Both the iPad app and the desktop app on the macOS are buggy. But the iPad app takes the cake. Plottr is probably one of the worst apps I’ve seen on the iPad. It’s a shame, too, because Plottr has massive potential. I will continue using the app on the desktop, submit bug reports, and work around all the bugs until they’re fixed. But I will not renew my annual subscription if there are no significant improvements over the coming year. It’s a shame. As someone already said a great program but a terrible app. This is not Candy Crush, this is suppose to be pro software.
