Pluot | story writing planner

I would give this 5 stars, but every week. It indicates that they're gonna have a new writing prompt on Sunday. And it's always like 3 to 4 days late, which doesn't give me enough time to write. I hope they change this. i've paid for full year's subscription so I wish that they would like post the writing prompts on time.

I've been using this app for years accrossed many devices and I always go download it. it keeps all my info. it has multiple sections. great app

absolutely love this app for writing. So easy to add new content in ways i wouldnt be able to with word documents. Only thing that it could use is adding custom categories with more navigational tabs in those also. It would make world building easier, but is still the best thing ive found so far.

I definitely recommend this app for those people who Plans on making a story! It helped me With Knowing my Characters more! JUST GIVE IT A TRY!!!

This app helps with a lot of my stuff and remember what my characters are supposed to be, they are some flaws, specifically the paywall stuff, if you REALLY want to make a custom field color some parts, you have to pay a monthly/yearly based subscription. This imo, is a thing I'm not a fan of. I get it, you have to make money but I feel like this limits your creativity, especially if you can't afford to pay it, I wish they did a lifetime payment option, I'd pay, so long if it's not $120...

life saver when it comes to writing.

Super minimalist and simple, like AO3's layout

it's alright, so yeah

I would give this five stars, however I feel there are too many features locked behind a paywall. When I had the app a few years ago this wasn't the case, shame how there are so many microtransactions involved now.

Well organised and easy to use, there are convenient options in settings to Edit Character Settings which you can use with a free account, you cannot however create custom fields unless you subscribe, mildly inconvenient but understandable. My biggest complaint would be that you cannot see the price of subscription without creating an account. Also if it was a one time payment then I would likely buy it.

I love this tool, amazing app. But I am writing this review because it has actually deleted weeks worth if work with no explanation. I'm gutted write now and cannot find a way to retrieve these missing workspaces.

I love this app, though... 👀 Can you add a folder for storing characters? if there isn't a feature of it yet. love to organize! <3

This app is so good for helping make your characters and what scenes they'll be in. I am still new to it so i havent figured out everything yet, but so far i love it.

Nice app. Have been using it to write a sci-fi novel. it does have almost exactly what I need but I'm sure there's more options in the purchased version. but thanks for the free one. you should treat yourself to some tequila.

This is one of the best apps I've downloaded, i can keep all my character and story ideas in one place. I really like this app, it's helped so much with the manga I'm planning, it's so easy to use and most of it is free, to upgrade is pretty cheap aswell. love itt

OMG, I’m so happy I discovered this app! I’ve been searching for something like this for so long. It has all the features a writer needs—character building, scene organization, locations, story structure, and more. It really helps me stay organized while writing my novel. Definitely a must-have for writers!

log out once and lost all my data

I've been trying to find a good writing app for quite a while and I finally found it in this app. It has really helped me. It is so simple but very effective.

very good planning app I love it sm, I use it for all my stories cause it helps me organize my thoughts better than a blank doc could. I would love it if it had a desktop version so I could write easier, since I bought pro It'd be nice to be able to connect them, also its not on apple so I litterally cant connect them with anything, I mainly have pro in case I lose my phone since plot has ALL my planning

nostalgic

I like it

As far as the free features go, it is overly specific in how it segregates types of info. "Eye color" "Hair color" "worst memory" etc. Rather than "Appearance" and "key experiances" etc. I tried to simplify it just to realize that you need Pluot Pro. It's easier to just use a word processor at this point. This is a poor design, it's asking me to pay to remove features and to allow me to do my own organizing, rather than paying for more features and more assisrance. There's no reason to invest.

Absolutely great and generous to the new writers who are needing as much real help as we can get!

I'm a really old user of this app... I love everything on this app.. but you might loose your data... it doesn't have account option that syncs your data.. the cloud set up is useless.. The Json files will not carry anything but some wierd codes.

just f'kn great!

Too much bloat. Characters don't need 50 text fields for "coffee order" and "favorite movie." The reason there's so much, of course, is so you'll pay for premium so you can unlock the ability to remove it.

I love you pluot

This is an excellent app. Forces me to define the conflict for each scene I write which has improved my momentum tremendously. The only thing that would improve it is an ability to upload and view higher-quality photos for the character profiles. This is only because I'm a barber and I'm writing a story about cutting hair among other things so I need that level of detailed reference.

It's simple to use once you get the hang of it, and it actually helps organize your story, plotline, or even other things! (I'm currently using it to help outline my music). It also has a weekly creative writing prompt you can do, then at the end, it puts them all down. And you can read other people's writing! Amazing community. Amd the app itself is free to play <3

Can't add custom fields or items because everything is locked behind not just a paywall, but a subscription. On top of that, it randomly decided to erase all of my work.

I am quite impressed with all the features that are offered with this application. Very flexible and modular!

good app.

the ui is very good such a shame it's completely useless because you can't add any custom fields not even a limited number and everything is locked behind a paywall

I love this app, it would be much appreciated if you could add custom colours to the 'Select a color' option. 💕

Easy to use app, haven't seen any ads, may even buy the premium version for extra features but really don't need it

I would just like to say that the images you see before installing the app do NOT do justice. This app has such a friendly community with such great authors. Unlike most apps we're you get....hate, I've never once gotten anything negative from someone! I feel anyone who enjoys writing would love this app. You dont have to necessarily follow the prompts,but its fun to use them when you can't think of your own stuff. The only change I can think up is allowing spell check when creating a submission

I don't care for the prompt questions for the characters. I just want to write a long descriptions.

it's good you could fix it

good for ocs database

I haven't been able to open the app at al. my device says it contains a bug and will not allow me to open the app

I use the free version and it has a pretty good interface. I like how you can get in detail with the characters, scenes, etc.; HOWEVER, none of that matters if your work just disappears? I even had my main story backed up, but when I saw that it had erased for some reason and imported my last saved version, nothing appeared. So, all my time developing the story has gone down the drain. 😔 I'm not sure if I want to keep using the app as of right now unfortunately.

does this app have laptop version..?

I enjoy this app and it's a handy tool! If possible, please fix the issue where if my phone changes orientation I lose everything I typed

good but restrictive

So helpful, especially being able to take scenes with storylines and have them separated by the names!

I always loved this app, the best one I ever found honestly! Also great reactivity of the developer: I had a problem, which seems to be a bug and he replied quickly and worked on it.

very good

this app is the most helpful one i have found for starting a book and sorting their character personas and places! finds very good aspects to think about for your character like their coffee order or favorite color- especially if you're writing a fantasy book!

excellent, but I can't change the character images. there is a checkmark but clicking it does nothing and I think it's because it's under my notification bar which I can't do anything about.

Best writing app!! They fixed the issues within the app, and it's working smoothly☺️ Highly recommend if you want an app that you can sort out ideas neatly and developers that listen and work hard to fix any problems occurring in the app.

nice and simple. just how i like it

it's a really good organizational tool when you have a lot going on, but it would be nice if there were a couple more text boxes, such as having multiple for the notes, or having allergies for the characters. I like how open it is, for you to fill out on your own, but I feel that there could be more text box options for fantasy vibes. I'm personally not a fan of the new layout, but overall, it's pretty good 👍

Please make autosave. I lost everything.

this is really motivational and fun too! well if your a book worm like me, like the fact we get to make up our own short story with the given tittles then gets rated all over the world,I would definitely recommend the app for all future and exercise Author's out there!

This app is amazing and super helpful for my novel. I have tried other apps, and this one is the least confusing with the best results. Love it, 10/10

great but how will I have the pro version

I love the app for it's mobility and plotting customization (I use Pro). My only complaint is that, while I love that you can upload images for characters, it would be visually helpful to allow for a "cover art" uploading option for each new outline as well. Please consider this in future updates!

I love this app! just wish I could back up files without signing up to the premium 😕 great app overall 👍

This app is amazing. I've been using it for a while, but it keeps crashing very frequently, and it's incredibly frustrating, I'll give this a five star If it gets fixed.

Everything is fine, but it won't let me create an account and I'm struggling with the fear that the main and important ideas of my story will be lost :)

As a person who likes writing, this is by far the best app when it comes to plotting stories. It's simple enough to give you an clear idea on what to do. Scenes allows you to split your work into smaller tasks, removing any pressure of weights. With being able to add locations and items makes it even better, as it gives you a simple, yet proper outline for you to work on. If you're a begginer writer or a casual one. Give this app a go, you don't need to write it down on paper anymore

Randomly deleted hours of work. I have to start over from memory. Never using again.

I love this and have found this the most helpful writing tool. I really wish it was available on my computer (download or website)

Pass on SAAS. I'm not doing subscription software anymore. We got on for decades without it. I'm willing to pay a reasonable initial purchase fee. I'm willing to pay for major updates at my discretion. I'm done with monthly payments, I already have too many of those.

As someone else said, if we could disable certain panel for only some specific characters that would great, missing the race panel sucks, other than that it's all good and fun to work with

very bad app for plots but I'll try it again and it's my last timr

Not bad. Simple to use.

Deleted my whole story

This app is best for writing screenplay and they have a pattern to follow

very good! but don't get confused! it doesn't let you write a story, it helps you PLAN your story!

I'd like to app but I'm not ready for it

Really good experience with the app so far,however one thing I found slightly restricting was how you can only choose one genre for your outline, I think it'd be cool if you were able to add sub genres as well as, so that it feels less restricting. Other than that it's a really useful app and has helped me get back into writing again . I can't respond to creators responses, however I felt it necessary to say I'm aware of the custom genre button, however the app only lets you apply one genre.

Really good, very helpful for organizing my character notes. One thing is that I wish we could take away certain fields for only specific outlines. Currently when I turn one off it affects every outline, which is inconvenient when having different genres. However the rest of it is very useful and I have a lot of fun filling out fields. Great app!

Great way to pass my time and write down fantasies I have

Great

Wonderful app I would give it 5 stars but it's a bit too confusing for me but I'm sure someone else would enjoy it

I LOVE the app. It’s easy to use and navigate. I like we can take away elements while character building if they’re not valid or applicable at that point; it makes it easier for me. I also like I like how I can use it on different devices, however I wish that if I use the same google/email account that I’d see my other drafts on different devices. If I could afford a premium right now, I’d be buy it to support the developers, who’ve developed the app beautifully!

This app has deleted all my writings that I kept inside the notes

I just downloaded it and it's really well sorted into categories for thing about your characters and can let you get really in depth.

The writing prompts are optional but still interesting. I have a usual style of writing, but the prompts allow me to branch out. The other features are also pretty easy to use too.

I must emphasize that I rarely take the time to leave app reviews, but this one truly deserves recognition. Out of the few apps I've rated, this one stands out as my top choice. Pluot offers an incredible array of features that bring your imagination to life. If you have a vision in your mind, this is the perfect platform to create it. And with a monthly subscription priced at just $3, which includes a 7-day free trial. I wholeheartedly give it a perfect score of 10/10. You won't regret it!

Less of a rating and more of a request. I would love it if you could have a custom preset sorting like say if you want the m grouped by hair colour you group it up yourself and save the sort and you can change how you would sort it [eye colour, hair colour, species, Ectera]

Nice App

Writing is a hobby of mine. I've been using this app for a few years now and I find it to be quite the godsend actually. It's a brilliant story planning app. The reason I'm giving 4/5 stars is because I'd really love an option to make bulleted lists, or underline/embolden text just to help keep character sheets and scenes a little more organized and easier to read. But otherwise, I love using Pluot for story planning 😊

Wow 👌

Honestly,this is a must app for creative writers, fiction specifically.

I've been using this for a while before writing the review and I have absolutely zero qualms with it. It is by far the best app of its kind I've used of all of the ones I have tried. Highly recomended if you want to write a book and need a great way to create and organize and expand on your ideas

This app is just so amazing 😍🤩

I think it really sucks to lock cloud syncing behind a paywall. Other than that I like the organization of it. But the paywall of such a key feature leads me to look for another app that won't do that.

Very great for making a ocs lore!

Excellent app for screenplay writing. I'm making full use of the app. I'm enjoying the journey. Thanks team Pluot. ❤️

It went very well until I lost 3 scenes in my first outline and 3 scenes in in the next outline. They disappeared. I paid for the upgrade also. I'm devastated and will have to find another way to write.

It's great and only missing one thing, but it's a crucial thing: Quick Add. Similar to a to-do app (where you press enter to save a task AND immediately start writing the next task), you should be able to start writing one plot point, then press enter to immediately start writing the next plot point. Without having to press "save" or "create new" or click the text field etc. Without that function, this is unfortunately useless to me, because it won't let me get my ideas out quickly :(

MasyaaAllah, alhamdulillah, this is the best story planner I've found so far. No ads whatsoever, easy to customize, has simple and friendly UI. The UI is the greatest thing—maybe im exaggerating too much—because I am able to make my complex building of the story, also complex character development and relationship with ease without being overwhelmed like in any other story outliner apps I tried. So, bless you! May this app can continue to develop and, more importantly, be beneficial for us all!

Love this. . just recommend this to a group Im in for writers because of how good this helps with the writing process

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ I LOVE 💕 THIS APP!! ITS AMAZING 😍 I only have one complaint, I like the weekly writing challenge, but I wish you didn't have to write about what it tells you to. Please make a challenge where you can write about what you want. OTHER THEN THAT, THIS APP DESERVES 5 STAR!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ALSO FOR PEOPLE INSTALLING THIS APP, YOU CAN ACTUALLY WRITE BOOKS IN IT FOR FREE WITH NO ADDS! Please answer, pluot! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

It's a pretty good app, and it really helps you flesh out your characters a lot. That's mainly what I use it for.

this app is a lifesaver for people with too many story ideas and characters 😭!! not only is it free, super organized, so many details that can be listed, just amazing in general! The only problem is i switched to ios recently and was devastated to know it wasn't available for ios☹️,,, really hope to see this in ios soon!

I really really love this app it helps me to understand my characters and had questions I have never thought of asking, also since there an item creating section will there be a section for like creating creatures or animals?

It's incredibly useful for planning out stories. Lays all of the information in a clear manner. You create your characters and scenes, put them in your scenes then you can see all of the scenes that they are in. If you need to plan it a story, you need this app

EDIT: Downgraded to 3 stars because there should be an easier way to upload all plots to the cloud without having to go through each item. For someone who has over 400 items and I started before that update its been a nightmare uploading each manually. And it slows the more u have on it and takes about 30 seconds to a minute opening the list. It changed my good experience to a sour one and it's so sad I might hve 2 leave This is the best plotting app I've ever used. It makes everything so easy

This is a great plotting tool when you're on the go. It's not good for detailed outlines, but for capturing and developing those ideas when all you have is your phone, it's fantastic. It has all you need for the initial development of a story concept and I love the idea that there's no easy way to disappear down the rabbit holes I've a bad habit of meandering through in the early stages of planning. Well done guys.

Great app! This is by far the most helpful app to create story outlines. Though I wish there's a part in which we can create the whole book there with the cover, description, and chapters and all. That would be fantastic! Still, this deserves 5 star!

Love this app !!! Its very smooth and so fun to organize my stories with . I think all I ask for is more forms maybe ? Go into detail with the worldbuilding, have a nickname option for characters, etc. And can we please PLEASE have a web + desktop version ? Would love to keep revisiting this app on any device, maybe an account log in / sign up option too

I really like this app because it helps me keep track of all the things I tend to forget. And it's a super fun to create characters and have all of their personal insperation and be able to write things down for future events. This app has been super helpful in that way.

Just add an autosave and this app would be perfect. Im scared sometimes when using this app becuz i forgot to save sometimes and i dont want my efforts and time to be wasted. I hope you could help us by adding an autosave feature. Still a 5 star app though Great work 👍

Dear Developer, this app is very great and easy to use. Unlike other novel editor this app has simple redirection so as to prevent any distraction and write effortlessly. However, when writing details I saw that this app lacks certain customization or flexibility. Like when I add details to location I couldn't add additional context point. So why not create a box where I can add my own heading, and also create multiple boxes as per my needs because I need more than 100 boxes to specify my novel.

great app. it does not hang nor close. even when you leave the app for hours, you would still meet the section you were operating from. however, more features need to be added, and I can email you for some I personally think should be available. also, we should be able to customize our character fields, by adding new features to the characters. for pro users, sketchboards and relationship diagrams should be available. we should also be able to upload the story cover in the title section. 😇✨

I really like this app a lot and definitely recommend it. I've never been a person to fully plan a story but this has made it actually fun to do. One thing I would maybe add is genre-specific categories. For instance, in the Fantasy genre there might be a Magic System category or different creatures where Sci-Fi gets different planets and galaxies.

Great app! No ads as far as I seen. Doesn't crash and had awesome character questions that I would have never thought of. Thank you!! p.s I do recommend. Edit: Keeping the star rating because it's a good app regardless. I'm having trouble signing up for the pro version though. It won't let me sign up. After I enter my information it doesn't do anything after or load to another page to finish. Please help I'd really love to see the pro version and be able to use it.

This is the best writing planner I have found so far. I'm currently working on writing a novel and it's placed in a completely different world. There are so many details and places and characters to keep track of in it and this is what's helping me organize all of it. There are no ads. There are different sections for categories you need to plan and organize and a custom note area for things that may not be in the app already. Great app overall with no glitches or problems that I've found.

So far, I've found this app to be great and a welcome addition to my phone. The apps simplicity and user easy interface makes it incredibly easy to get used to and utilise. Likewise, the apps functions are more than enough for it's intended purpose. One of the only things I would suggest that could be added to make it better would be a way to customise how scenes are numbered or ordered as I wish for a way to categorise scenes whilst still keeping them within the same outline or storyline.

It's amazing for planning out stories and stuff but it just gets a little upsetting whenever i get distracted for a little in the middle of making a detailed character because it erases everything when i go back to the app. It's still an amazing app but it would really help if the scenes, Characters, and other things auto saves.

The app works fine, but the only organization options are storylines, characters, scenes, and places. I can't add details for religions, governing systems, economic systems, etc without upgrading. I completely understand that people need to make a living, and appreciate that there aren't ads, but it just doesn't work for me. If you are willing to spend money to upgrade, go for it. Otherwise, there just isn't enough organizing tools.

I've only used this app for a little while, but so far I am so pleased with it! I use it for writing my novel, and I have to say I'm much more of a pantser than a planner - so I was unsure that this app would serve me at all at first. However, I have to say this app really helps my pantser brain organize all of my thoughts, whether it be fantasy settings or my characters and even plot to a degree. It may not be the most "stylish," but it serves my needs extremely well, and I am very pleased.

So far, its the best writing app I tried and I tried many of them here in google apps. It has a good outlining system which makes it easy to update the plot or story lines (my favorite feature). You also easily swap the outlines/chapters that you wrote. I just wish that the fee for cloud save is cheaper. However, the free version is already amazing and this is my primary writing app now.

For now (not much udes yet) I'd say the app is quite something. Convenient for writing charachters to memory and what else. Simple too! It's just, that I made account to use cloud, but it didn't work whiteout Pluot pro. (I didn't know that) How do I delete my account now? Also, in My opinnion there's valid parts for each detail for a charachter, but there is kinda too many. Hoping for a way to hide some of them as a setting for all, for easier editing. Worth it if u need it! <3

I really like this app. I've used this for a few months now, and no disappointments. I've searched for so long trying to find a good writing planner/outline. This is really easy to use too. I wish it automatically saved before I press the checkmark, because I accidentally clicked out and had to restart the entire character description. But it's not their fault for this. This app is very organized, lets you add a lot of detail, and is perfect for me. Thank you for this wonderful app!

This is the best story outliner app I've come across. But, it would be great if every text box and every menu, has a very brief explanation of what it's supposed to do or to be for. I know you can search up most of the narrative terminologies, but for complete newbies, that would definitely help a lot.

Accidentally updated the app and instantly regretted that as soon as I opened it. What's the point of changing the dark theme from black to grey in the first place? It just looks ugly if you ask me… It's a shame, I had to uninstall the app and download an older version in order to downgrade it. Unfortunately, I ended up losing everything I had wrote so far in the process of doing so. But since I made some backup, nothing was lost. Still, I'm mildly annoyed by all that, therefore the low rating.

Best app out there!! I've tired many planning apps to support me in writing my books and this app is the only one that I've loved. I used to do detailed profiles with photos on MW and my scenes, notes and planning until now. Thank you so much your app has helped me get to 2000 words in my book without writers block!! So, so easy to use too.

This app is very useful for when it comes to keeping all my notes, planning and characters for novels in progress in one place, as well as helping me expand on information and ideas in a lot more detail than I normally would. I'm only giving it 4 stars because there's room for improvement, additions and so on, but other than that, it's a very good app. I would maybe like to see the ability to create "groups/organisations" that characters can be affiliated with. But no complaints here!

I love this app sooooo much, its in my top three writing apps to use :D The only thing I would like more (only if possible, though. I understand a lot goes into making this app): it would be nice to make groups for characters, and maybe sub-locations? Just to add another level of organising :) if not possible, I will still happily recommend this app!!! <3

Only just installed the app and it is incredible! I must second one of the other comments about having chapters, that would be great, and then being able to add scenes to them, build up the chapters into the story would be nice. Excellent design,from a fellow developer :D

It's complete!!! This is what I've been looking for! Although when I encode a new character and put a photo after the description, the description is gone so I suggest to put a picture first. This app is so complete and easy to use for novel writers

One of the best of its kind I've found. Very decent grammar, setup, and stability—and free with no ads! Timeline and family tree would be really handy yeah, along with perhaps a basic script maker? Don't know if it's possible or if this is even the right app for that, but when I looked at the ad I had mistaken scene/storyline-making for scripting, and was a bit confused when I found that that wasn't an option. Edit: 2 character addition suggestions, fight/flight/freeze response & love language?

This app has been so helpful. Whenever I write I don't really plan things out as much as I should and part of that is because I didn't have a good way of organizings my thoughts and ideas for a story. But this app solves that probably. The only thing I wish this app had is a pin board sort of relationship chart. I'd be cool to have a flow chart of sorts to help with planning how my characters will interact with each other. But other than that, this is a great app and it's helped me out a lot.

Edit: There's a photo option! Thank you! I'll just give it a 5*, it's simple and able to let me give more complicated details to my characters which is what I'm searching because I have a slow action amd memory to catch up things. Haven't tried out other apps like this but for now, I have no complaints. Though I would want to input a character's profile photo on it, it feels to me that it's easier and kinda a next step. Appreciate a good app.

This would be the perfect writing app if it had a Google login so that I don't have to worry about losing my work if it gets unistalled, my device gets damaged, or if I want to access my stories from a different device. Other than that it is very easy to use and understand, and nicely designed.

I use it for my Fallout characters. I track characters, travels etc..for me it's perfect BUT :) I can't insert links in it so I can show my videos. Add that feature and I buy and this app gets all 5. Great job to the team.

Works as advertised, easy to use, no disruptive elements, no info caps. My only real complaint is the lack of searchability and no customization. Searches only work with names, so you cant search based on a location or characters grouping unless its included with their name. I'd like more Customization such aa creating info templates and catagories other than just characters and places. The amount of info you can add to the characters is nice.

This app is really useful. I've had it for ages but didn't really bother using it as I had no motivation to write, but I've started working on a couple of things recently and it's been great. I do, however, have a couple of notes. I wish there was a section to add pronouns in character notes, to add scenes to chapters and to have a character listed as more than one role (protagonist and narrator etc). I already recommended and will be using for foreseeable future, but adding those would be great

I like this program. I wish it had Scrivener compatibility, but I'm not going to take off stars for it. I wish it had some pre-defined attributes you could pick to quickly build up a character... If it did, I'd be fine (and would prefer) if it just inserted a text string into the box so you could still edit it.

Great app! It will be much much better if this have an online save :) My data keeps getting erased when I switched to a new phone (My old phone got destroyed) I don't like having to rewrite all over again and forget important notes in what I wrote.

[4 stars bc it crashes when i try to edit some of my longer scenes, and crashes if i try to save one that's too long :'( ] i love love love this app, it's so robust. i do wish there were a feature to add bits of dialogue or small snippets of draft to each scene, but it's so well done as it is and i'm loving using it to plan and organize my ideas.

I really like the layout, no tutorial needed to figure it out. One of my favorite features is no ads and no online data needed or pestering to share to some social media. THANK YOU. I did find that it is a bad idea to set your phone down while in the app without saving. My dog jumped on bed and stepped on phone which closed the app (I think he also ordered a trampoline from Zimbabwe and scheduled an Uber pick up). When I opened the app back up all my work was erased. So MAKE sure to hit save!

Yo, it's actually quite helpful; but It would be fully good if y'all can add a custom version of every thing, like the genre, we can type some too; and in the general, I wish we can custom something like sexuality etc. With appearance, personal, and interest too.

Exactly what I needed for streamlining my novel planning. I'm completely ecstatic! I wish there was an option to add an image in the notes section, but that's only minimally inconvenient. One of the most useful tools I've found online or offline - definitely a keeper!

Brilliant. Honestly, the only thing that would make this better is, for example if you're one of two people co-authoring something, online collaborative editing. If I was able to create an outline and add in my co-author so we could collaboratively edit and brainstorm the outline, then this would be an easy 5 stars.

It's really an amazing app, I have just started and it's really good but I want to say it would be better if we could add our own category (like nickname, power, etc) And also if it would automatically save it then it would be great too because I lost my scene as I had to abruptly close the app and I forgot to save it Also it would be really really nice if the app could be connected to Google drive, then I don't have to be afraid if I lost my data of phone all of a sudden

I love this app to pieces, it helps me plot everything out so much and is a lot better than other apps I've seen. Although, one thing that needs to be fixed is when you have enough writing in a box that it scrolls and you want to change something written towards the top, everytime you type, it jumps to the bottom of the box and you cannot see what you are writing unless you scroll back up, and it jumps back down immediately if you type again.

I am so bad at planning out stories, so I downloaded this app to guide me through it. It's perfect for what I need. I love the different prompt fields that give you a chance to really get to know your story elements, and the drag and drop feature is surprisingly helpful. The app itself is very clean and user friendly. The one thing I don't like about the app is that it can't be used across devices, beyond exporting a file. But for a free app with no ads, that's something I can work around

(almost) perfect. I ve used a lot of story apps and this one is by far the best. I haven't given it 5 stars because last night I edited A LOT on one of my characters and then fell asleep without saving. All my notes were lost. Guys, you need to implement autosave. Need. Need. Need. Another suggestion is if you would add Save the Cat beats in the outline somehow. That would be so cool. But first: AUTOSAVE!

The best app ever, all the other ones of the genre are just so desorganize, i usually don't write reviews for apps, but this one is amazing and i needed to say it, it's easy to use, the interface is pretty and there's so much options on the characters part, it's just perfect for writers.

Just found this app to start my first big piece of writing. The interface is so clean and easy to use. All of the colors and various optional details help out with organization and character development. Very, very pleased!

This app is making it so much easier to build/rebuild some of my stories. I have been looking for something like this for a while. I feel .like I can better organize my thought, characters, scenes, and build a better storyline this way. I will be recommending this app to some of my friends and the writing group I have joined.

really the best but could you please add an option where we can put pictured of the characters on their profile? that would be great😍😍 EDIT: my phone was resetted and I lost all my work, it's really a big disappointment that I lost all of my novels that I worked on, I just wish that you could add cloud save or we can make accounts so that we can save our work amd doesn't need to worry if the app is accidentally uninstalled etc.

The app is so easy to use, so organized, so many tiny little details for each character that you can (but don't have to) fill out. I don't see a timeline feature which would be useful, maybe one with color code for time travel. Overall, this is the best author app I have ever seen.

Tools are a little rudimentary but that actually makes them easier to use than other apps I've tried. Unfortunately, it only exports as text or JSON, and that's just a lot of extra formatting work to do in another application after you've already worked so much on something.

I gave this app a 5 star review. Why? Because you can import and export your outlines and keep then organized. It is very helpful of my OCD. The character fields are amazing saying that you can pick and choose which ones you want for your characters. The scenes, storylines, and locations are all very well put together. It has addictional notes that are ooen for every part. Colors and pictures are perfect. I love how I can organize the order I want everything in. Highly recommend.👍🏻

Pluot offers a great way to organize your stories. The Discord server is great for meeting other writers, too. The app developer is very attentive to feedback and questions, especially on the Discord server. You can even ask the developer to add new features to the app, and he will add them in a future update, if possible! I'd recommend this app to anyone who loves to write but needs somewhere to keep track of their characters, world-building, and plot structure.

This is the best story planner app I've ever come across so far. But I wish we could edit the font style or the paragraph format in the description box. It would be could if we could write in bullet points. Anyway, good job to the developers. You're the best.

This is so helpful actually. But my only problem is it doesn't have an account so we can save our works. I accidentally uninstalled pluot and panicked because I was so worried that my works wouldn't be saved. As soon as I downloaded it again, to my disappointment, my works weren't there. I stored all of my ideas for my novels in Pluot, and I didn't have any backup. What I ask for is please add an option where we can log in accounts like connecting it to our facebook.

I'm a busy mom with too many unwritten worlds in her head. With little time to sit and write, I wanted to at least jot down my thoughts. This app is a wonder with so many options to work with that the details just write themselves! I've been on this app everyday since downloading it. Now most of my story is fleshed out (in just 5 days), which I've never achieved before 😲. Plus, I can't get over the quality without ads! Thanks, Pluot! P.S. Add more image options for book cover or other visuals.

Instant organization for telling any story! Ad‐free so interruptions don't make you lose your focus. No cloud synch yet but files can be exported and imported as JSON files between MSword and Pluot. The developer is extremely responsive on the app's discord server and the discussions are friendly, helpful and on point! I cant say enough about this app, and it's continually being improved so its only gonna get better. Try it, whether youre a newbie, or have been developing stories forever!

I really really love this planner but my only problem is that there is no good way to save everything if you were to undownload or need to get it on another device, I've switched devices and undownload this app a few times since I got it and its annoying bc I lose everything and its hard for me to remember everything, hence why I use a planner. I think it would be really good if you added an account feature so that everything syncs no matter what

If this app synced with other devices, it would be perfect. As it is, I'm still giving it 5\5 because the organising tools are fantastic for people like me, who need to be able to shuffle scenes into order. I draw professionally, but I needed help getting the writing angle for my projects in some kind of layout that made sense. This does it! (pls add sync, tho)

This app helped me plot. I would absolutely LOVE it if we could log in and access our plots from multiple devices. Also, an overview feature would be awesome if, in one page, I could see all the elements of my story, locations, threads, and characters in one place, like an ultimate dashboard.

About the application I want to praise the developer, it's amazing. The design, organization and detail are great, however there are some things that bother me that I think it would be good to add: — When I'm developing a scene, I can't edit the text easily if I need to correct something at the beginning. — I would like to be able to edit the text when I press the "appears in scenes" option — It would be nice to be able to create folders to separate scenes from chapters. Ex: Chapter 1: Scene

The best app of the genre I could find. Super simple and yet complete, direct language, organized interface that doesn't take you half an hour just to understand how it works. Only issue is that it doesn't give you much freedom to edit the structure of the charts. For example, I would like to add other sections in the character profiles, or change the outline structure. Also, an archive for putting aside old ideas would be welcome. Aside from that, it's a high recommendation.

Really great! I really enjoy the easiness of adapting our story planning to the app, there're even features about characters that I would have not thought of! I put only four stars because there is one more feature that I would love to have: the ability to synchronise the app between our different devices. I usually use it on my tablet but would love to be able to review my notes from my phone too. Because the greatest ideas come when you least expect them. Great job for the app, thank you!

This is a wonderful app. The only issue for me is it currently doesn't sync between devices (not uncommon for this type of app so I'm not rating it down for that. Because I love everything else about it. The interface is so intuitive and organized. I can't speak highly enough of it and I eagerly await syncing so my neurodivergent self can use it the way I need. also.. no ads. thank you so freaking much.

Great first page for your short summary, but when I try the features for scenes, characters, location and storyline, there is no way to add any details, there is no plus button to add anything and no keyboard to write anything. Just a blank page. Useless. Please add a plus button to those four story facets and progress can be accomplished. Now, because of its uselessness, I will uninstall the app.

Loving this app! It has almost everything I would want (it looks like the developer is already looking into a timeline feature) and has a very clean, simple design. Lots of options I don't use (yet) but that would be very helpful for more complex stories. The only major flaw is that there doesn't appear to be a way to sync between devices. I'd love to be able to jot down ideas on my phone and have it ready on my chromebook when it's time to write.

A great app, and it now allows us to upload character images! This was the writer's outline tool I've been looking for! Thank you! I do think it needs some features: descriptions for character traits, descriptions for character roles, and maybe add Cover Art. Otherwise, amazing app! Keep up the good work!

This app is fantastic! I've been umming and ahing about writing an epic historic fiction for a long time now but always put it off for one reason or another. I used to have research notes written on scraps of paper strewn across my desk or hidden in random places; what this app has done, is taken my lax organisation skills and launched them into oblivion. Would I go back to how I was doing things before? Hell no! It's now effectively an ongoing encyclopedia of my world and essential to writing!

Great for outlines and ploting structure out of your pocket when you get an idea. Only suggestions would be more export options to documents and pdfs, ect. ..also, some optional beat templates might be nice.. (Ie., Save the cat, heroes journey, dan harmans story wheel, ect.)

It's really good! I love how you can just send off everything you've written in a text to show your sister! My only real complaint is I wish that there was a better selection of colors and that they took up more space than one little blip. A timeline feature would also be epic!

This app is EXTREMELY Helpful for keeping Track of everything and I'd Definitely Recommend It! Something I think it Could Use is a Way to Organize Characters so that they are Easier to Find! Like, maybe a Serch Function? It's possible it already has One, but I've Yet to Figure it Out. Either Way, it really is an Amazing App!

I honestly love this app, it's helped me really devolpe my characters and get plot lines down. There's one thing I wish was a feature. For locations I would love it if there was a way to go deeper, such as when making a city having the ability to list other more specific places within the city instead of having to wlist them as a whole new location. Other than that this is a great app and keep up the good work.

I absolutely love this. Just one thing: it'd be nice for there to be a Superpowers section for fantasy writing, and also be be able to group characters. And have like "romantic interest to secondary character" or just allow us to manually input the character type.

Honesly, I'm pretty amazed with the features included in this app. The animation is really fantastic, smooth design, as well as comfortable to use. Seeing the sections felt like I needed to think of something and fill these things up. There is an import/export tool which is helpful. One thing I would want to add is the "add image" feature. For book cover, the characters, and maybe for the places as well. Best app I've seen yet.

overall, this app is very simple and easily managable. although, this might be too much to ask, but i have a few suggestions that i would personally love to see in the app (some of which others have already mentioned): - having a character profile picture for our characters - and, a picture icon for the made-up location. other than that, this story plotting app has got to be the best on android and i can't wait to see it to its fullest potential. thank you for blessing us aspiring writers. :)

This app really helped me organize my story. I'd recommend this to anyone who's having trouble getting their ideas out. One thing I recommend they add is a tab for Organizations or Groups that I can bunch my characters into and the option to add images to character profiles, so I can better visualize my characters.

Wow! Hands down the best plotting app I've come across! I wanted something simple, and not as elaborate as previous one's I've used -- just something to have Chapter 1 blurb, Chapter 2 blurbs, etc. Not only can you add characters and locations, the plot points can easily be moved around. 10/10.

I'm very impressed! Usually as long as you get important details down it's an okay for me. I've tried quite a few apps, but this one I feel I will be using more often than others. When going through and checking out how to use it, you really do get down to detail with it! You make sure you know what it looks like, and that you can visualize it very well! With characters you can easily imagine them, and really just get to deepen the character and that makes me happy to know that! Great app :)

Great app! Helped me create a series bible with extensive characters , locations , and scenes. But scene creation needs more customization so that it can work like index cards and the size and fonts can be altered . But overall great app for writers with an uncomplicated simple interface.

Extraordinary! The app is a life-saver, not only I can store everything in one place, but it also helps me planning details I hadn't even thought about. The one thing I'm missing is a space for timeline. I've been entertaining the idea of writing a non-linear narrative or just using flashbacks and a timeline feature would help immensely. Apart from that, it's excellent! I definitely recommend it.

I really like it. It's easy to use, ad free, and has a dark mode. I mostly use this to write in bed at night to brainstorm story ideas and scenes. It's perfect for outlining and it isn't meant to be a full writing program. I like the character outline section. It made me think a bit more about my characters development because of all the options you can fill in.

I love this app! It's perfect for creatinf stories. Though I have to deduct one star due to the design. When looking at the informations of the characters, the text is way too small. It strains my eyes and with so much text I've written on them, it's really hard to read everything clearly without getting confused. The whole app in general could maybe get a little make over, do that it's more fun to use it. The functions are amazing but the interface is kind of boring, too simple.

This app really changed my life. In the past, I was forced to use various online services to make any drafts or outlines for my stories, which was annoying because I would always have to use the internet for these services, which caused me to start hating writing anything for weeks. But with Pluot I'm starting to love writing things again. If you're finding it difficult to write anything because of the time consumption, you NEED to use this app.

This app 100% deserves a 5 star review! Although I have only just downloaded this app I am in love. It's set up in a simple, easy to use format; perfect for any writer. Especially a busy one like me. The outline and scene space helps me keep my idea's organized, something I have trouble doing on paper or in other apps. As a young writers this app has quickly became my go to tool. Also, no ads= ❤️ (Thank you so much) I can tell the maker of this app knows what writers want.

It's pretty good and it helps me jot down anything that comes to mind whenever and wherever. But I think it would be great if you could add "dislikes" in the character profile so that i could make my characters be more detailed.

The best app by far for plotting and really organising my books, I cannot express my appreciation in words. One thing I would say, and it's not a major thing but for me the sensitivity in swiping between the scenes and characters etc is a little too sensitive. Edit 26/6/21-the issue I had explained (now deleted) has been fixed, thank you very much!! Also the addition of more colours is extremely helpful too. Thank you so much!

So far, I'm really appreciating the versatility of the app and the amount of detail I can put. What I would REALLY like to have is an ability to include pictures for inspiration and reference. I would also like the ability to have a whole section where I can just take notes/write chapters. And a better export/import system would be nice. Other than these things, really enjoying the app!

I haven't been using this much so far, but I like it a lot right now! Very in depth character design sheet and easy to use. My only wonder is if it's possible to sync across devices? Even if not, I love it and will be using it for all my stories and plots!! Great work 👍🏻

Edit: changing it to 5*, developer responded so quickly :) this app deserves some love! Great writing app! I had an idea for a story and this app helped me get started, establishe the main characters and even prompted me to think about some background info. I finished writing a scene and the only thing I didn't like is that if i go back to edit something, it it jumps to the bottom of the page. Would also like an auto save option but the jumping to the bottom of the writing is the most annoying.

Absolutely fantastic app! If you are looking to get plot ideas out of your head and organized, this is the app to do it. I've been using it every day and feel like it has been instrumental to fleshing out ideas and making major progress in planning.

This is honestly my favorite writing/story planning app so far. It's so organized and simple to use, and I love how you can have multiple stories going at once. The only reason I rated it 4 starts instead of 5 is because I feel like the only other thing this needs is a notepad. Just to jot and organize ideas without a template or form. Otherwise, great app and I'd definitely recommend!

I absolutely loved the app, and almost everything about it! I can't say that it's perfect because nothing is but this app is awesome! You should totally try it, if what your looking for is organizing your outline. Though I do wish that you could spread the scenes into different chapters. However I can write what chapter it is in, in the notes section. It would just improve the app slightly.

Fantastic app. Excellent performance and features and it's completely free. However, it would benefit from a template editing feature (I'd like to add Want and Need to the character editor as well as different types of character role options) and auto saving (manual saving only but it is quick to do so). Highly recommended. Thanks to the developer for their generosity and amazing work!

Just downloaded and I'm already super excited. Only thing is I wish I could add pictures to my characters and places to help quick reference them. I also need more colors to choose from. I have a very large cast in my story. But everything else works so smooth and it's not over complicated to learn

This is too damn cool! It makes keeping track of things an absolute breeze! Altough it would be nice if you could add pictures to your characters and places. That and if you could track some more nuanced things like plot related lore(like power systems or history). Very cool ! Go download it now ! NOW! GET THE DAMN APP NOW!!!! :>>

I love this app so far! I was scared to do an outline, but by using this I've already ironed out so many kinks for a better flow in my story. The interface is simple and neat and there are lots of fill-ins that make you think. A couple things I would love to see in future updates would be more customizable choices. For example, when creating a character and adding a role, if I wanted to create a role for a "friend" or "enemy", I could create it from the settings. And tags! :3 Thank you ❤️❤️

I love this app the way it is. It lets me organize and helps to create new ideas for my story. However, I have some suggestions for future features, or just food-for-thought. More colors, or a color wheel. I have multiple characters that there are not enough colors for them. I think this would be a plus to every user of this app! This one is more optional, but something where you can implement photos for locations/characters would be awesome. For reference or to help you flesh it out. Thank you!

I absolutely love this! It has helped me so much, and love how easy it is to organize everything. There are only two extremely tiny things I would change. I'd make the color coded color options paler and less intense, and when you go into edit mode for a charcater and you type in their birthplace and then view it out-of-edit-mode, it says birthday. But I still love this. I downloaded four apps aside from this one to help me write, and I've deleted all four. This is the only one I need. AMAZING!

highly recommended! Easy to use and navigate with anttractive UI. Would love the ability to be able to link words to pages, like in a wiki. Such as when mentioning a different character in a character page, clicking on the name will take you to that page. Anyways, amazing work!

If you're looking for a very detailed character outline, this is it. The app overall is amazing and I am finding no problems at all. I was looking for something much simpler but if I ever decide to write a novel, this will be my go to app! There are no extra ads it seems and it is simplified enough to not lose your way within the app.
