No me gusta, porque? Por que pide que le pagues para escribir :///
Can't purchase
Just get spinning wheel. Thanks
It could be a top app - if...
.. if the developer does something very sensible. Move it to a one-time purchase or, an annual thing to continue receiving updates, but you keep what you have if you don't upgrade. This is what these apps are, by virtue, they are not the type of app people want to pay a monthly/annual subscription for. I honestly believe so many apps out there can be far more sucessful if they get this subscription thing out of their heads. Human beings can only stand so many subscriptions in their lives, & these wee apps are never going to be important enough for it. Keep it simple, keep it sane, one price for an app, sell more volume, get more customers, and ignore the crowd of greedy people subscriptions!
The Tool of my success
I’m so incredibly happy with this app. I am writing my complete novel with it and it has been so effortless. It keeps it very neat and tidy for me, as it separates each chapter with unlimited space. It’s made writing so enjoyable for me. There are separate sections for notes, artwork, and outlines. And space for as many books as you’d like- all saved with iCloud. I close and open right where I left off. There are even book outlines made for different types of books if you need it. If I could give more stars I would. Thank you for creating this app🙏
Sieht schön aus aber Bearbeitung nicht möglich
Die App ist gut gemeint, genau das wonach ich gesucht habe. Allerdings lässt sich im Nachhinein nichts mehr bearbeiten. Wenn man z.B. in der Übersicht Szene 1 umbenennen möchte ich meinetwegen 1.1, dann ist die Umbenennung entweder erst gar nicht möglich oder beim ersten Mal möglich und danach nie wieder. Wenn man bereits ein fertiges Manuskript hat und alles dort einfügen möchte und dabei keinen einzigen Fehler macht und nichts mehr ändern möchte, dann ist diese App ok. Ansonsten nicht zu empfehlen.
Nah
The actual app is average I’d say but the fact that I can get scrivener or something else for notes and writing for probably cheaper is the straw that broke the camels back.
It Looks Good, but needs a Subscription..
to ‘do’ anything.. so you cant actually test it without ‘signing up’ for the thing! I’d buy this. As a one off purchase. I’m not sure I see how many years it will last in the wake of all things AI, therefore instead of £18.00 per year for say, 3-4 years, maybe £15.00-£20.00 as a one off payment might earn the developer a lot more than the out of date, out of touch, out of reach - Subscription model everyone loves to hate because, well, it’s unrealistic to have 100 subscriptions per month that average £5.00, unless, of course you have so much money, you’d have an assistant here, shopping for your apps and then you wouldn’t even be reading this anyway. TL;DR: App looks good. ‘could’ be very helpful. Really should be a one time payment Of about £15-20.00.
Great and versatile
I like the fact that i can use Plotten for documents other than film scripts and/or novel writing. It is very helpful for my PODCAST, as i write first a story and divide the document in sections. I also add characters as they will make part of the Podcast. Everything is perfect for me using this program. Highly Recommended to Podcasters!
DO NOT USE
You have to pay to write, and you are in read only mode when you download this app. Very expensive. Do not recommend.
Lingua
Sarebbe perfetto ci fosse anche in lingua italiana
Clean and feature-rich
Tried out a writing apps and this one seems to be a good combination of having the right features but is also not overloaded with fluff that I won’t use. Quite intuitive and straightforward.
Useless
Hello, I‘m afraid I have to leave a bad review on this app. You can do absolutely nothing in there accept from viewing a blank page and blank notes because you’re not able to edit if you don’t subscribe it for 2€ per month or sth. I am quite disappointed, the structure of the app was just what I was looking for but not like that. Good luck with costumers who want to spend money on that. Regards
Uh
It doesn't let me use keyboard? Please dont tell me i need subscription just to type
Work Deleted
Used this to try to get back into writing- which made it a real kick in the teeth when 2 days of work got deleted. It seemed like a glitch that I could’ve blamed on something else, but no. I picked it back up cautiously and tried again. Upon closing the app all my writing is deleted & the backups are useless.
Review Title: Serious Data Loss Issue with Plotten
Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) I spent eight hours writing my first book on Plotten, only to find that all my work had disappeared. The app's last backup at 1 am contained no data, and neither did any of the version histories. This is a serious flaw for a writing app, where data security should be paramount. Despite the app's user-friendly design, the loss of my manuscript due to unreliable backup and versioning systems is unacceptable. I reached out to customer support but have yet to receive a solution or even an acknowledgment of the issue. For those considering Plotten, be wary of the app's backup capabilities. Until the developers address this critical issue, I cannot recommend Plotten for any serious writing endeavor.
ALL OF MY RESEARCH DISAPPEARED
I spent several days compiling research for storyboarding and the app crashed several times suddenly and now all of the documents are completely gone. Every "Note" tab is empty. Extremely frustrated and angry about this. I'd been using the app for what appeared to be a free mode; but then the app suddenly blocked everything to "Read-Only" and it forces you to make a subscription to continue using. When I went through and confirmed (might as well, I had so much work already started) so much of what I had before is gone, I am terrified of what would happen if I'd had months of work on here instead. Uninstalling and removing. Avoid this app at all costs unless you'd like all your hard work to disappear in an instant.
