Even More Writing Apps
Could there be more even more writing apps? Oh. My. God. There are!
Here are four more — two came from the developers asking me to review their app, one from an ad I saw on Reddit, and one I found on my own.
First the ad:
Understory: Free just for writing/$10 per month for the AI
This app is a way to have your story read and reviewed by AI. It doesn’t allow for any manual input of plot, outline, or characters, nor does it keep any statistics on what you’ve written. It’s purely an AI analysis of your writing.
Now the requests:
Plottiar: A free basic tier/$5 per month for more features/$10 per month for AI
Plottiar is a good program for a brand new author who doesn’t want to do all the work involved in learning writing craft through seminars and reading books.
You can write in the software (although as a word processor it is not great, which is odd because you’d think that would be the easiest and most important thing to get right in a writing app), and it says that it has templates, but when you open one all you get is a document telling you everything that should be in your template. No fields. Nothing for you to fill in. Just a list of what you should be keeping track of — in great detail! There is a “Story Grid” where you can put your plot into a table and that’s very nice.
