For a while I’ve been using notes. No, not the app. Real notes. I still do, but mostly i just use this app. It’s so good to have everything organized and not be out of pages if you change something. It costs, but i think its totally worth it.

Story Planner has become one of my favorite writing tools, and a big part of that is its simple, fair approach: you pay once, and that’s it. No subscriptions lurking in the shadows. For the price, you get a surprisingly deep toolbox. What makes the app stand out is the developer’s commitment. Updates keep coming, features keep improving, and it’s clear the app isn’t being abandoned. That level of support gives the whole thing a sense of long-term reliability. As for writing features, it covers all the essentials for building a novel: characters, locations, plots, scenes, timelines, and more. But the real magic is how customizable it is. If something isn’t included by default, you can create your own categories and fields. You can even attach images and other reference material, which helps keep your worldbuilding and visual notes neatly in one place. Honestly, the app has come a long way. It started solid and has grown into something flexible, intuitive, and surprisingly powerful for the price. For any writer who wants structure without being boxed in, it’s an excellent choice.

UPDATE: Sep 14, 2025 - Add Images Any Where 🤯 Customize your work space 🤯 CREATORS.. Buy this app NOW ——————————- *UPDATE* Oct 4th 2023 Developer responded. Thank you. I had no idea about revision mode, this helps ALOT! I will look further into your help section, I was not aware you had one. I will also look at your youtube again, to see if I may have missed explanation of revision mode (if you have one) That said.. your help section most definitely seems the place to go. It’s packed with information from what I’ve seen. Wonderful response on your side, to bring me there. Elevating you to ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ But if I find something else… 🤨 that disrupts my flow and no answers in the help.. I’m coming back! For that one star 💫 😊 All jokes aside, thank you for guiding me. I like the app a lot, now that I have a better understanding on the concept. ORIGINAL MESSAGE: Been using this app since 2019 for story planning of our VR game project, w/ a story script - worked excellent for that! Now in 2023… I am writing an interactive fiction - I wanted to write the entire story here in this app… Turns out, Story Planner app is not good at all for story writing. This confused me.. I assumed it did, because The App Store description, doesn't state: “not meant for actual story writing” The "Storyline/Premise" section misled me. It's just one row, like an Excel sheet, and other elements (project tags, Theme & Topic..etc) these all are very distracting while typing in the "Storyline/Premise" Why not expand it into a full blank page for focused writing when tapping on it, then shrink it back when done? Currently, this app seems limited to story planning. Almost like the massively popular “Anvil World Building” online program. Story Planner could be great for writing too, it just needs to expand into that blank writing canvas, but instead.. avoids it for whatever reason, almost as if scared. Fix this for a 5-star review.

It’s a great tool for planning any original story or project. It would be perfect if two things more were added though: first, allowing adding custom tabs/cards/sections (for example species, nationality or anything else for characters), and possibly the option to categorize things into subcategories (e.g. the possibility of dividing locations into realms). It’s already the best app for this stuff out there, with all this it’d be pure perfection. Thank you so much! Post-update edit (08.29): I'm simply touched by the dedication of the developer(s) of this app, it's absolutely the best one ever with no more room for improvement after the additions. The fact that my review was taken into account is more than generous; this way we users can feel the developer genuinely cares about us, which is so rare these days. Thank you so much for contributing to the world of creativity and making it easier for artists and authors of all kinds to navigate their ideas. I couldn't praise the app more, definitely going to recommend it to anyone who could use it, and if I could I'd honestly rate it 6 stars. Simply an amazing products, more than worth its price, and if that's still not enough to convince somebody to get it: buying it and supporting such a kind, dedicated developer honestly feels like a genuinely good deed.

Good app for organizing thoughts, ideas, and for developing a strong foundation. I use it to plan as I write, and it helps me see where I need to put more attention. If we are inputting a start and finish time for every scene, it would be great to see an overall timeline that is generated by it. A section under Setting for “the world” would be great, with input spaces for maps, seasons, and distinguishing features.
