LivingWriter: Write Anywhere 4+

This app is rather like Scrivener. A little hard to use and rough around the edges yes but still good and being free it’s surprisingly amazing and very underrated. I’d highly suggest giving it a chance.

This app is a nightmare. Glitchy, clunky and close to unusable - and this is supposed to be the new improved version! Writing is a lacklustre experience but the board views are truly shambolic. The plot board is unusable - cards don’t move when you want them to, then they suddenly fly all over the place when you move the cursor, wrecking what you have been planning. And you can’t move a card to an empty space unless you have already created the plot line in the desktop version - if you create it in this app, it doesn’t work.
The developers need to do some serious work on this - and quickly!
I was thinking of making LivingWriter my main writing app (as the desktop version is pretty good), but I like to work away from the desk, and after experiencing this app, there’s no chance of that. Dabble is a much better proposition - even without a dedicated iOS app, and having to rely on its web app. (At least the web app works - unlike this app.)

I’ve tried a few writing apps over the years and this is by leaps and bounds the rest. I was hesitant on first using this app, I was almost put off by previous reviews until I realised that they were at least a year old. I’m glad I went with my gut feel, and if you purchase the macOS version you have a free trial period, before you have to part with your cash. The support is right-on too 😊
