Writer's Companion 4+

I have been looking for an app to help me in my new hobby as a Dungeon Master for my wife as we play Four Against Darkness with a D&D twist. She plays four characters and I create the story, combat situations, etc…

Anyway I have tried other apps that either I couldn’t get started on or they had too many ads and pop ups. This app is simple and user friendly, and it only costs .99 cents a month.

In the course of just about two or three hours I managed to set up notes on all my story goals, characters, equipment and services for my wife’s characters to buy or sell, a list of geographical locations in the world I’m creating, and even a list of non player characters in my main town and the services they provide along with notes about their personalities and history.

You can make any category you like for your folders in the app and you can even select how the folders look by choosing from many symbols in the app. For example, my “brainstorming” folder is of a person fishing and my “story” folder is the image of a book. And most of the other folders (characters, dungeons, geography, etc…) are fantasy based images.

It will be nice to have all of this information condensed into a phone app while my wife and I play the game. I am very happy with this app and the cost considering I’m in a tight budget. Nicely done!

I recently got the app to help organize my story and so far I love it, but there are a few issues I’ve noticed.
Nothing glaring but a few quality of life fixes would do wonders
In the build section it doesn’t seem to distinguish what story the categories are in, which could be really confusing if you have a lot of stories your working on at once, and while this isn’t a big problem and mostly personal preference, it would be really nice if you could favorite certain categories you use frequently So you don’t have to scroll through to find it every time!
Another thing that would improve it would be adding smaller categories in an item or making info boxes collapsible, that way you don’t have to scroll through a massive wall of text to find the specific info your looking for.

Those are some general quality of life fixed that I think would improve the tool but those are just minor nitpicks and honestly I love this and would absolutely recommend it to others

I love this app a lot so far and it has been extremely helpful in my world building process… However, I really hate that everything automatically sorts alphabetically. Specifically for my custom notes I make for places and characters. Sometimes the note that I want first is not the note that is highest up in the alphabet. If there’s a way to turn this off, please let me know! But in general, most writing apps that have categories like this allow you to move notes around on the interface, so you can sort them how you want. Please, as someone who is paying for this app because I really genuinely enjoy it, please add this feature or get rid of the automatic alphabetical sorting 😭
