Fortelling - Story Writing

As someone who struggles with organization, this app is really helpful for writing, totally recommend!

can you guys make multiple names for a character available? like name to be on display, nicknames, aliases, full name, etc??

The newest update is going to delete my years of writing progress and I can't access my project to save anything. What the actual hell? Screw this app

It is acceptable and works offline as well. Even out of range of 4g, it can saved offline and leaves where you left off. But I wouldnt give it a 5 stars because the pricing. It is truly ashame you can't use the web version when there is a 5 limit and thats it. And the payment in order for you have the web version permanently is over 199.99 dollars. That's the downside of this app.

THIS IS SO GOATED FOR OCS OMGGGGGGG (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

I find the app useful, but the way the paid version is so heavily pushed really makes it hard to use and it's gotten worse over time. Good for basic info tho.

I used to write in google docs until I heard they scrape their users' work to train AI. As a writer and artist, I love how this app is anti AI in every aspect, and I'm a big fan of the word goal/statistics functions. I've never written this consistently before! There is a subscription option to unlock more functions, but the free version is very efficient as well (which isn't common in this day and age). I've recommended it to every writer I know :) No complaints!

amazing app, most of the features are free so it's perfectly usable without a subscription. amazing for world building and writing

ive been using it for a wil to chart out how I wanted things to connect in a way where I could see everything all at once. not one to leave a review but it'd be a shame if such an important and free tool was lost to me this late in the process.

Great app, I know premium is what gives yall money but putting FONTS behind a paywall is just insanity . This has the potential to be one of the greatest writing apps tho

makes organizing and story planning really easy!

hello there i have a problem with this when i want to choose my username and password it says check failed and there no different what is the username í really want to use this app please help me

I really love this app. I have one question. as a new writer I frequently use chatgpt as a writing assistant. especially for storing info, world building, etc. that's when it hit me. because I can tell gpt to store my newly created info on a document from docs If it's connected. but I've been using this app longer than gpt. so I have mad info here but everyday I come up with new ideas and I wish I could ask gpt to send what I say to my work here. so have u ever thought to work with gpt plugins.

makes me actually think about my characters and their backstories

Very great app for storytelling and expanding your lore, or keeping track of it! Thus it can sync across any mobile devices. I have tried other world building apps but personally I have come to love this one! The UI is lovely and easy to grasp, I'm in love to a point it has me more invested in my passion project. I plan on having a pro subscription soon but lowkey the free version is still soo worth it!!!

Good!

Amazing!

The projects I started all disappeared after update. Uninstalling

it is very good and I love it, but as the app progresses it feels like only paid features are added

This app is much appreciated! it makes tracking everything so much easier!!

I really like this app. Very few features locked behind a paywall, good for writing and worldbulding. My only issue is that I can't find a way to have what I wrote for a chapter on my phone show up on my Chromebook. Great app tho!!

Doesn't let you do basic things like create a category for spells unless you pay. I might as well just use a spreadsheet

I love this app, but I wish the website version wasn't locked behind a paywall.

app was promising but is laggy and slow :/

this sucks. I can even go past the sign in cause apparently, EVERY USERNAME IS TAKEN.

absolutely👏amazing👏app👏. it's perfect for both writing fanfiction and planning out my own story. every part of the process being separated into it's own section is wonderful for people like me who get distracted easily😭 the ability to add pictures is my favorite thing, I've never seen that on anything else while looking for the best writing app. the premium version is not necessary at all (at least for me), as they give you every necessity and some for free!!! 10/10 my new fav writing app💖

omg beatiful appp and all the challenges are Soo coool especially this onee and I hope you make chats and more cool and adventure challangesss and make like posts and stufff

Great app for writing, the features are so easy to use and generous considering most are free. Only wish there was some way to download and securely keep your progress, especially the boards and timelines that you can't just copy and paste into a file. But overrall, out of all the writing apps I've tried, this is definitely the best imo!

As an aspiring writer, I've been looking for a reliable writing interface for quite some time now. This app is perfect in my opinion. For a free mobile writing app I didn't think it was possible, but the app has everything for character, world and plot design. Even collaborative editing. Surprisingly, the occasional ads aren't a huge problem for me either. I have yet to run into any serious problems with this app and I highly reccomend giving it a try.

I have enjoyed this app immensely for around a year and a half, and it has been my favorite tool for writing. I love the concept of for writers by writers, and the interface is incredibly easy to use right off the bat. There is a paid tier which does offer more features, but the free tier is amazing and there are no ads ever which is something I really appreciate. Though I have not purchased the pro tier(I'm just way too cheap)this app has been crucial to my writing process. Thanks for creating.

Just downloaded and it says it will install later?? When and where i need to write.

bery good,i like it because it bery bery good,bery bery importantou

It doesn't really let you see how it works before making an account

Was a good app, but it's been ruined by paywalls and constant updates. Unfortunately, I am 2 years and over 300k words in so I can't do much about it. It also randomly stops letting me edit chapters, and the only solution is uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

As an author, Fortelling is extremely simple to use and has several useful organization methods. I haven't seen any like it, even less that could begin to rival this app. I highly recommend, and can't wait to see new updates.

my cousin showed me this app a year or two ago and I still love it, I'm trying to write something right now but it's hard with school coming up🥲. I'm just so glad my cousin told me about this app and all that.

I deleted my character tool accidentally, and cant return it back halting all progress.

Definitely recommend, 10/10. It's easy to use and figure out, and there's no ads at all. Only downside is that dang Pro. It's not pushed on you at all, and I've been using it without just fine, but they recently added a family tree feature that would be SO helpful, but i can't use it because I don't have Pro. And I'm not willing to pay for it, because if I do and the app is suddenly not available for whatever reason, then that's money down the drain. But this is the writing app to get.

Great organizational app, there's only one problem, the image selection used to be easy however now it 3 times as complicated

I'm literally so happy. This app feels like some dream bc I've never felt this organized and motivated for writing before. It's so easy to use, and has so many cool features. No big paywalls which is a huge relief.

It said to update but I couldn't because it said there aren't anything to update. ☹️ As I young writer making stories for people to enjoy, this is like a brick wall in my way. Especially since I transferred from IOS to Android because my iPad was outdated. I beg you to fix this issue as it also affects my mental health because this app helps me make characters that are expressive and something to relate to.

The app was very good before the 4.0 update, but since then it kind of began to have many downsides. Many new useful elements we're introduced, sure, but some things like the custom fields and, with the new 5.0 update, being locked behind a paywall, seem a bit exaggerated. I don't like how slowly more and more things are getting locked behind it. Overall it's a good app, it's just this little fact that bothers me.

Great app, with customizable daily writing goals, fun writing prompts, and many tools to make writing a breeze. You can collaborate with others, if you want to do a project with friends, and while I haven't done much with the prompts I have had no problems with the community. A great app with great people. Removing update because I just saw the stuff about the widget...

I think the app is amazing, I truly love using it, especially as an amateur writer! Although recently when I've been putting a story in archive and then click on another one I get a black screen and have to restart the app each time. it's really annoying and Im not sure if its my devices fault or a bug😞

The perfect writing app for my brain. Custom templates, extensive worldbuilding and plotting tools that work exactly how I would want them to, integration with a simple writing environment with gamified elements. Mobile version for note taking on the fly. Having the mobile version open to check plotting elements while writing in web is a fantastic experience. This is THE writing app.

I enjoy it quite a bit and has given me the motivation to start writing again

good for my delulu

I absolutely adore this app. It's easy to use and so well organized. Everything is absolutely perfect especially with it being made by 2 people. They will take feedback and improve their app. Even without pro, it's one of the best apps I've found. I recommend getting pro as it gives you even more freedom and to support the developers.

Doesn't let you edit/remove many elements like boards which is really annoying.

This is honestly the best organization and worldbuilding app I've ever used. Though they have a subscription, it's not mandatory to use the app like most others are. The writing challenges are fun and its overall a great app!

Chefs kiss. Thank you kindly for this app.

I love that there are no ads! I love that you can write offline and then sync with wifi! I love that there is no limit to the amount of pictures you attach to characters, items, or locations. They have a premium subscription. For a soon to be astablished author, I could see it being worth it but not for me and what I use it for. Also, I love that they don't shove the premium option in your face! Great app!

Before I liked it more. Now I can't choose to view projects into two columns; when I open project can't see characters photos, stories covers like before; totally don't need to see recently opened stuff in my project and can't turn off this option. I really love this app so it sad seeing in degrading not improving. There is more stuff, but just mentioned 1st things that comes to mind.

I use this app to keep tabs on my characters!!!!

I decided to use this app as an archive for my OCs, but this made me discover my love for writing! Whenever I get a new device, I have to have this app on it asap

I use it for all my writings, great app!

honestly the app is good

I love how I can bring my world building kit off of my desk and into my pocket. Its an amazing, unique and fun app. I don't know if its my fault but when I create a Project I can't change it's name or description. It would be nice if there was a discord server for the app to ask questions or share Ideas but overall I'm very pleased of the app.

i love this app

This app is very helpful because I didn't know how important it is to have a outline of the story and many much more I learned so much thanks to this app and also I love that Fortelling as challenges, is a good help for when your bored or out of ideas, puls I enjoy that it tracks what I'm doing and reminding me to finish my works and then thankfully it's mostly free and does lock everything up like other apps. thanks to Fortelling I now love story writing!! 😋

good app for organizing information about your story.

I love the organization. Helps keep track of your story and characters!

Not free at all! Before I even got to use the app it was asking me for money! You only get a 7 day free trial, and then it's 5.99 a month... or £149 for lifetime access! I knew it was too good to be true, so I uninstalled it before I even bothered!

Probably one of the best writers tools out there. Provides (plenty) of reminders for any of your projects, makes you think about things you hadn't even considered for your character, and the developers simply know what tools you need and give them to you. I am talking about the mobile version (web version restricted unless you get premium) but honestly, if I had the money readily available, I'd get premium no joke. An incredible writing platform.

I'd give this app an easy 4-5 stars if it didn't keep deleting my files randomly and refuse to let me type where the cursor is placed. It just randomly jumps through text and pics a random spot on the page to start typing or to the start of the page when I try to type. It happens 50% of the time. Otherwise it's a strong app. a few things I would add or change. but the app glitches are frankly ruining it.

I've gone through so many writing apps. So. Many. I eventually downloaded Foretelling, expecting the worst. Many writing apps offer nothing in the way of plotting, world building, and more. Foretelling has a multitude of features. You can create boards. You can create characters, and fill in countless customizable details about them. The writing tab is minimalist, and provides many of the same functions as a word processor. And most features aren't locked behind a paywall.

Really love this app

it was so complicated I couldn't find the place to write my damn book.

Using this to plan and write the script for a small indie show I'm making, and it's way better than anything else I've tried. Even more impressive that it's made by a single guy. My only complaint is that the premium version is a bit overpriced, and I think the web version should be a separate purchase, but in terms of the app itself, 10/10.

perfect for writing my books. I'm able to organize my world building into different categories. It makes it easy to keep track of where I'm at in my work. You can say if it's your first or second rough draft or if you're finished and so on. It's a keeper.

great app and great tool for story building and getting things organized instead of it all being locked up in the brain

1 Star because when I try to make a password it keeps rejecting it so 1 star

I really love this app, its one of the best writing, character and story organizer alongside milanote. I like being able to view and or edit my friends story and share but, I wish we could link eachothers characters from eachothers projects like, link one character from theirs to mine.

I find the app simply extraordinary for creative minds; everything is simple and fluid yet incredibly comprehensive, providing great support for creators.

oh my gosh, thank you so much that you still having my precious first novel material! For several years, I thought I already lost it I'm so sad, but thankfully it still exists on my forgotten mail!! once again thank you so much, please stay healthy and wish you all dev team and staff good luck!

Easy to use. A lot of useful features. And there's weekly challenges that are optional to participate in! Even though I personally don't participate in them I'm sure it's fun for who does! :3

Why do you need to force a writer to use your template???

By far one of the most in depth and versatile sources I have used to organize stories. I've searched for years for this with half of the organizational properties of Foretelling, and I'm frankly surprised by the amount of free features. None of the things behind a paywall inhibit you from using the app to its full potential which is honestly the best part. I can soundly say that the default fields given have pleasantly surprised me, some things I genuinely wouldn't have thought of on my own.

honestly, love. my husband and I pay for a premium account and we both use it daily. company is small enough that the person who made it responds to emails themself! I really like supporting the small team and the app itself is so clearly made by writers. everything you could need and more. couldn't recommend paying for something more if you write daily.

nice app i can keep my oc lore here :> i dont really understand the boards but thats alright, wish i could understand it more

I think it's okay

★★★★★

locking a *web version* behind a paywall certainly is a very odd and off-putting choice. Fine app, nothing exceptional, sometimes confusing to use. edit: donations/fundraisers are quite popular for that

uso faz alguns anos, perfeito!

this is an incredibly versatile and in depth tool

very good so far

I cant even log in, it says "UsEr nOt fOuNd"

Ive been using this app for two possibly almost three years now and safe to say that I kinda like the old version better with custom fields and stuff but nevertheless this app has been the backbone of my characters that im writing stories with. Its very fun and easy to use but I still lowk miss the old version where not much stuff were premiums but ya know its still great !!!!

top tier app for writing.

Another app in, it appear to, be a long line of them, where there's no option to set page size or where the file saves and in what format. The subscription is cheaper than another similar app and seems reasonable, but I just want to write a novel and to do that I need to set all the formating and save location at the beginning.

it's pretty good app!!

Money Hungry.. I used to love this app, I'd all of my stories and ideas in here. I'd even put all my song lyrics in here. But slowly, everything is being locked behind a pay wall... After the custom character templates got locked behind yet another pay wall, I honestly can't use this app anymore.

this app has made me really put work into my ocs and before had no plans on what to write for them

I can write very efficiently with all the tool given. Works really well for me.

waste of time

I dont use this app for its intended purpose, but it is fantastic for everything you can think of. It's very customizable in every aspect, even without premium membership.

great story app, but give more options for stuff

I want to know when we're getting the option to download our entries?

Seemed nice to organize my stories and it is. But we're required to pay (and I don't have enough money for this) to be able to edit our projects on the website, and using a phone is not the best device to fully enjoy the features so that's a no for me

just redownloaded it for the first time since I tried it in 2022, and oh my god so much has been added. the UI is wonderfully clean, no ads, no ai garbage, just a genuinely great tool for planning. there's a couple minor glitches like not being able to edit labels in the timeline section, but nothing substantial (I just make that timeline point again with the right label this time lol). it's so refreshing to find an app that just works and works wonderfully :)

It's a good organization tool. But when I tried the free trial to access pro tools, but was disappointed 😮‍💨You couldn't customize/edit the information on the original template, nor can you replicate their functions. Like the character group, there's a feature that allows you to add characters on the original template, but when you customize your own, there's no such features and you cannot edit the existing information on the original template either 😩😞 Still, it's good for drafting stories

I will always and forever love Fortelling. I was sad when Writer Tools went away, but Fortelling has proved to somehow be better than the already flawless app. The interface is very smooth and easy to navigate and it's very easy to take stuff on the go with you. Ads are not invasive and almost all of its features are completely free, with the exception of desktop mode. You truly don't NEED desktop mode though if you have a keyboard that's compatible with your device. Truly love this dev <3

This app is wonderful, and it has helped me in many ways. I can work around the pc version being premium, although it is a bit annoying, but it can be a little difficult to navigate sometimes. Genuinely this app is wonderful, and my reviews always get responses :> | New suggestion: Could you add subspecies? It'd be really helpful for stuff like dragons in some of my worlds lol. Curious as to why you haven't added it already. Also... what about manual sorting? Kind of a pain without it lol.

Absolutely brilliant app, so easy to use and very useful. Honestly have no issues with it, it's a wonderful tool to be able to keep all of your stories organised and in the one place. Would definitely recommend!!! Coming back to this again with only glowing reviews! Would love a map option however, being able go map out my fantasy worlds is always a huge help in worldbuilding so I think a way of visualising it would be awesome! Just a suggestion though, keep up the amazing work!

It's okay for a writing app. I appreciate the timeline feature as it allows me to organize my stories better. I just wish it let me check and manage my subscription. Whenever I check the button to check it, it won't load.

Very 👍 app! Very little ads, did not affect my experience while writing. I could color words, write in bold/italic, etc. Some problems stopped me from giving 5*s though. (1) Very hard to select words, quite glitchy. It's difficult to select small characters. (2) The Pro version was way too expensive in comaprison to what it has to offer. I don't see much benefit in buying pro, nor much incentive to, besides of course supporting the devs. (3) The "Scenes" option will make notes disappear...🥲

A good app for writing I'll say, taking notes, and building on a story's world and characters. While the stock write-in boxes aren't ideal, making custom boxes are and using that is very useful for just about everything. UI for PC could be more refined, but it works perfectly well for its purposes. If I could give 6 stars I think I could, as my previous suggestion of making it easier to browse other aspects of the world from the document has since been implemented.

The app is great for writers, DMs, worldbuilding at random, or keeping your facts straight for making a game. Very useful, and ads are nonexistent. It only has one developer and is very community driven, but it is probably one of the better apps I have for being creative.

Currently my favourite app for both story planning and writting. The one downside is that you need an internet connection to edit chapters and see character info (You can read chapters, but that's about all you can do). I would love this app to have everything available offline, even if that means no cloud storage. Maybe it could be optional per story?

I've been enjoying the app a lot, but the latest update seems to have organized everything alphabetically, and it's really annoying that I can't seem to change it, I had everything in the order I wanted it to be in and this change is incredibly obnoxious as now my characters and such are all out of order.

Literally so good. I was just expecting a simple all where I could note down some stuff about my story but this is literally so detailed. This has to genuinely be one of my favourite apps yet because this has made my life like 97% easier. I don't think I have to say much just install the app and check it out, if it's not to your liking then just delete it but trust me, this is worth it. Also it's really good at organising things so I personally think it helps with my dyslexia when writing

I find myself using this app less and less now that the web version is pay-to-use. As an amateur writer, i find myself more comfortable using a computer to organize my stuff as i have more space to work with, but without the web version... Yeah i think you can figure it out. It's sad, since this is a really great app...

Absolutely amazing! Easily the best story/novel planning app I've had. It allows for easy worldbuilding, chapter blocking, and writing. Plus you can log in from a different device so you can always jot down ideas when it comes up at anytime. My personal favorite part is that if there's a thing you don't want to fill out it doesn't show up if you don't write anything in it, making the entry look nice and neat. I only have 1 or 2 grievances but neither are bad enough for me to lower the rating

I'm just in love with this app! Its like scrivener for your phone, without the hassle of having to purchase Scrivener even after the supposed 'one time' cost which is just a scam. And this one is also much better interface wise, I'm just in love with all the unique options and ease of use.

Its pretty good, and creative. But I can't copy paste texts when writting, which makes it a lot harder to move and shift the texts around in my chapters. If it had that 'paste' button and the chance to freely use a basic version of the app in a pc, it would be a 10/10 for sure.

It's unfair to me that desktop version is locked because the 'paid version', and i recently discovered an error: when i try to delete a book the app shows up the advertisement, then i chose 'delete' and NOTHING happens. So, why i can't delete books? it's annoying.

I usually use this app to plan out my TRPG sessions and it's extremely useful and suitable. However there's just one thing about this app that bugs the hell out of me and that's that I can't break a line while I'm typing up a character description! For a writing app not being able to edit a layout by not being able to break a line is quite ridiculous

Woah, dude, you added languages! Awesome. I still prefer this app over Campfire mobile. If you're considering taking the app in more of a worldbuilding direction than a novel-writing direction, I would suggest adding magic or magic systems and maybe flora at some point. Also, what did you use to make this app? Android Studio? The UI looks amazing.

Amazing. 10/10. Easy to use, looks clean, lets you organize everything as you see fit. So why is this 4 stars? Because of the desktop app. Not only do you need to pay for it, but when you press the up or down arrows to navigate, it doesn't just go to the same spot on the next line - it goes like a certain amount of characters or something? I don't know, but I don't like that at all. Otherwise, amazing!

I fairly enjoy this app, but I mostly used the desktop version to actually write while using the mobile version for the photos and characters design, bit recently I can't use the desktop version because you want us to pay for a monthly or annual subscription, which in my opinion is really unfair to those who were using the desktop to write their stories. If you want the money just make it a premium choice for cheap or just use the ads to pay for your app, and keep both versions entirely free.

I wanted a free tool that helped me organize my universe. I got it. You don't get bloated with "buy me" messages and ads, only a small indented box that you can close if you like. Dark mode is also included in the free version which itself could be a reason for me to give 5 stars. You can do many things without even buying anything, and frankly, that's what makes me buy it when I am able to do so.

Honestly one of my favorite apps for writing, and I'd have been willing to give it full stars if they hadn't gone and suddenly put the desktop version behind a paywall. I was able to use it just fine five days ago, and now I have to pay to access it on my computer?? Highly disappointed about the lack of communication on that end.

Honestly a great app I love the way it's layed out, i can't figure out how to use the pin boards propperly, but i think that's my fault LOL. would defently recommend this app! (but please add more variation to the avatar editor, or atleast coloured hair!) 10/10 app though

The most helpful app you'll ever get for writing. I've only had this app for one day i can already say it's AMAZING, it's easy to use and understand, and has a lot of functions. I do have to ask, is it possible for the app to be made so that it can be used offline? If not, that's fine anyways, it's already good as it is

Nice app! The interface is pretty nice and I like the variety of options whenever I'm writing. The only problem I have is that the list can't be reordered permanently, as soon as I leave the list screen the order resets and its pretty inconvenient. There's also a minor spacing problem (for me at least) and the space between the texts (in the character, world building, etc.) are uneven or it gets covered by a block below it whenever I write a large text so it's a bit off-putting.

Processing but ineffective. This isn't a good app for making complicated stories as it has the bare basics but nothing to ho crazy for. As an example, in the place creations, there's a section for religion but what the app has isn't really good at showing what the religion is. I can show how it started, what it's about or even what they do. The character creator is fine but it's hard to tell how to describe how characters grow and change with time.

good organization option, there is customization and even some prompts if you want to write just for fun and practice, can store places, characters, story and timeline and probably more that I haven't used

I like almost everything about it!. The first suggestion I have is for you, developers, to create a online friend list of likes. I have an author friend and I'd like to connect to her at all tines without having to be coauthors in a book. Second suggestion is that you add the list in a place where users can get to easily. You can 'favorite' challenge submissions but you can't go back and read them. Other than that I LOVE what you did here and I don't write feedbacks a lot. Congratulations!Thanks

Quite good BUT it could be better. There should be a way to search words in a chapter. Would be extremely useful for me. And also, If scenes aren't working right now why are they an option to click. If they do get released a timeline to join to the other would be cool. Keep up, love this app

The only thing keeping me from that 5th star is the difficulty using the pin boards. This was the feature Tha made me purchase pro, but it's really difficult to maneuver items on. The items snap to a grid, but not the one that you can see, so it's hard to line things up which makes it really frustrating to use! This feature is almost unusable on pc.

I love this app. It's super helpful. Though, you need to be online when you want to create a new story. And the images isn't shown when you're offline. That's my only problem since we don't have a WiFi and I don't always have cell phone load.

I really like the pinboard feature. It was very handy and cool and unique. I've been wanting to make a pinboard for akl of my novels and I thought I'd settle for just a DIY but thankfully I stumbled upin this app. On the other hand, it was very tricky to navigate through the app because there's so many buttons and stuff, it took me a while to know how each and every single thing works and the purpose. But either way, great app for authors.

In a way, this app is underrated. It has EVERYTHING you need for book planning Im not kidding, you can have it all in one place. One downside is things aren't clear like how to delete a book? Anyhow, definitely check this out, five star worthy with a few polishing. Also, there's no ads! And Im in the free version!

I've downloaded dozens of apps before in order to write my stories with as much as details as I always wanted to, but never found one as all where pretty simple and gave small information to edit about characters, places events etc. But this app? Oh wow! This is what I've always been looking for! It seriously amazes me everyday with the bunch of sections you can put information in for everything! I love it!

An absolute must have for writers of every skill level, and even those who want to try writing. There are so many functions you won't know you need until you start using them in the app. An added bonus is the active developer who listens to the community's feedback. An all-round pleasant and pretty streamlined experience to order my chaotic way of writing, I'm sold.

An amazing app for organizing your books. Nice clean design, simple to use and understand, customizable fields, and it syncs across devices (my ultimate deal breaker with writing apps). However, the tablet/chromebook version is very fickle and will freeze often; and at random, when clicking on anything. I think this is a loading issue, so I would stick to the phone or desktop versions until it can be resolved. But overall, this is now my top choice.

The app is quite nice but it was loading for a long time for me after registering and signing in from a different device. No, the internet connection isn't the problem. Tried again using a different wi-fi, even mobile data but the loading after signing is quite frustrating. It's been 20 minutes or so, still loading and I don't think I'm going to waste my time. I dropping the app.

I loove this so much!!! It has just about everything I need in one screen, one tap away. Pin boards, ref sheets, chapters, and even writing goals and progress! The navigation is soo easy, and it doesn't overwhelm you with too much tabs and options. Just perfect! Among all the writing apps I've tried so far, this is definitely my favorite - and I've only had this for one day. Thank you so much, devs!

Before knowing this app, I used to use Novelist, the features are similar, have every single customizable elements for create Novel. But the difference is Fortelling are more simple, user friendly, not too complicated, and more clearer also can login accounts which is what I need the most, so I don't need to backup manually. I really enjoying using Fortelling. Thankyou so much dev, keep the app update.❤️❤️ Now I moved from Novelist to Fortelling 😍

This app is so cool and this app got all the cool features on writing a story. My only problem is this is not offline. Even just writing a chapter, I still need to go online. Is there anything you can do about this? update: Exported files cannot be seen on my file manager and the file is empty

Free version seems limiting compared to what the app says you can do. Basic informatiin pools when creating place or character, no real customization there. 25 starting story elements (Any 1 piece of information you create = 1 story element) The difference between the apps description and usability seems vast. I would not recommend. EULA wording seems problematic, so I'd keep everything set to private if you do use this app.

It looks fancy and there are many great features, but it's a little complicated to use compared to other writing apps (like Pluot). It's kinda slow, when I click the description of something it lags a little.

I've compared numerous writing & note-taking apps over the years & Fortelling is definitely one of the best. The UI/UX design is neat & easy to use & navigate. Straightforward tools & options for formatting & organizing your work. I also like that I can keep everything private. Plus there are social & just-for-fun aspects for us writers. I'm giving 4 stars only because the app keeps crashing on my Chromebook & I lose my work when this happens. Hopefully the bugs will be fixed & app updated soon!

They've got just the right aspects I'm looking in outlining a story. The variety of options provides different strategies to approach a story too with the help of the timeline feature (which I mostly use for separating the different character arcs). It is both simple with the precision of pointing at important story elements too. So far I'm not having any problems but would definitely recommend this one.

I really like this app! It was really useful aside from the limitations. I went to look into upgrading, only to find that in order to have more than 25 story elements, you have to pay a monthly or annual fee. I was definitely going to buy this app had it had the option to make a one time purchase, but I feel as though paying through subscription doesn't make sense for the type of app that it is. I would gladly see adds in order to be able to actually own the pro version rather than pay to use it

Wow. Seriously... Wow. This app is a must for anyone who wants to write. The ability to break everything about characters, places, events, animals, (+ more) down and write paragraphs of detail with this app is unrivalled within the market. It would be a lie to say it's not a little overwhelming, but once you figure the app out, you'll have all the tools you need and more to conceptualise, visualise, and plan your perfect piece. If you want to write, use this app! I promise it's worth a shot.

I've been using this app for a while now & I love how detailed it is in terms of characters, world building etc. I'm so happy that the chapters are now open & we can actually write the book now, I've been waiting for so long it was the only thing missing!

After 3 days using this app, I stumbled upon 4 major hurdles of this app. 3 of them being the most notable. 1. No folder for a country. This is vital role for world building and yet? I'm sorry but country is more than just location. 2. No folder for organization. Again why? Organization is way more than just a mere group. 3. No folder for magic system or technology and such. I can't even see a folder here with similar function. 4. Where's the god damn chapters. I can't start my light novel!

I am loving this app! Its incredibly helpful in keeping track of the little details of your story, whether its a geological formation in a world you created or the name of a characters childhood pet. The pro sevice which I have is cheap & afforadable and absolutely worth it. It syncs well so you can have the app on more than one device. And if problem pops up, using the chat to speak to support gets you quick results. The thing I best though is the ability to add pics of people, places & things.

It's actually pretty good. Except you can't write any actual story. And while it's got a cool feature to let you tell events the limitations on it are very disappointing. For example you are pretty much limited to 50 words if it's an event (which is very hard to write) you want to write. Lastly while the subscription is incredibly cheap (like only 1$) you don't get anything worth while from it. So overall a very good app compared to most writing apps but it's not perfect and needs more content.

One of the better story planners I've used. It provides a lot of options. I'd rate it 5 stars except for the fact that I keep encountering really bad lags in the app when trying to input details in certain areas.

I really dislike that I had to create an account at the start to even access any of the features. Plus, there's no option to delete your account so if you find that this app is not what you're looking for you can't even permanently leave aside from logging out. You can't even delete projects. Plus, the fact that this is a paid app. You get like 25 writing or story elements before you have to pay to use the rest. Otherwise, it looks like a decent app, just not my kind of app.

I think this might be my favorite as far as mobile plotting story tools go. I love how everything is organized and how in depth all the customizations go. Edit: I decided this will be my main organization tool for my story. Anything else will just supplement this one. I also figured out how to get multiple character icons. I'd love to see a future update for plots and subplots and customizable icons for all the categories next :) I see they're working in Chapters atm and I'm excited for it 😊😁

Downloaded. Created account. Had to then wait HALF HR to create a BLANK project. ZERO instructions. Cant edit ANY field beside basic descriptions, drop down do not work AT ALL, have to save multiple times to get even THAT to work properly. Fast response from devs, although already downloaded something else support is good so gave average rating

Overall, a lot of potential. A very thorough and well-designed app. However, the login process was a pain. Had to restart the app twice to eventually get logged in. I also didn't appreciate how long I had to wait for the project to be initialized on the server. Not major issues though. I think the app will be very useful for many writers!

This app is a wonderful tool and a must if you're writing large stories! It's very modular form makes the tool easy for all sorts of different styles of story. Also much of what's on offer is free, including a dark mode for us night owls, and it's really up front with what you can and can't do with out it's premium. The price for it's premium isn't that bad honestly for it's value. Only being 40 USD a year it's been an absolute godsend for my productivity.

It seemed like a great app at first but the amount of functionality locked being a pay wall makes the free version entirely useless with only 25 elements. The free version is just a trial for a paid app, I wouldn't recommend wasting time on it if you aren't interested in buying a pro subscription
