Like an old friend
I’ve been using this app for over two years, and out of the many writing apps I’ve downloaded and tried, this one is by far my favorite. The simple user design and beautiful color palettes make me look forward to using it. Its import feature is also extremely easy to figure out and quite fun to play with - it makes you feel like the world of literature is at your fingertips (I’ve imported Homer’s “The Odyssey”, “The Little Mermaid”, “Peter Pan”, “Romeo and Juliet”, and a ton of Shakespeare’s sonnets). What sets it apart from other apps in this category is that it doesn’t try and force you, as a writer, to follow a guide or set of steps to success. You just open the app and write. For years I’ve struggled with developing a writing habit, but discovering this app was the best thing that’s happened to my productivity. It made me look forward to writing and I’m producing more work than ever. I’d highly recommend this app to anyone looking for a simple, gorgeous, flexible writing experience.

Wonderful!!!
What a great tool for the blocked writer. A simple capacitor to kickstart a new work. The option to add custom pallets is awesome. Imagine for a moment; you’re standing before a blank canvas you have your brush (a pen) and you’re pallet full of your chosen colors; but rather than paint, fyour pallet is full of words. So you dip your brush and paint an incredible work of art. That’s how this app works. The words are there before your eyes and you chose which words you wish to use and where to put them. You can also switch between a normal keyboard and the pallet. Thanks for the great app!!!!

LOVE IT!!!
I have so much fun with this app! Whether coming up with serious lyrics with the help of the vast library of words or just sticking random words together creating (depending on your sense of humor) extremely funny lyrics or nonsensical stories. Above all, it helps break any writer’s block you may have by suggesting words you maybe wouldn’t normally think of if you had only a blank piece of paper in front of you. All I know is it helps me tremendously! I’m certain it will help anyone out. I love this app and I highly suggest it!
