Love it!!

I absolutely love this app. I love that it has tons of words and things I can use at once so that I don’t have to go on google and type in every single one. And most of the time I don’t know what to write about! But this app gives me ideas and thoughts so writers block turns into, well, writers idea I guess!? But I do have one suggestion. When we click on a word that we want to use, if we don’t know what it means can we see a definition please? If you don’t take in this suggestion it’s okay, but I really don’t feel like having to go to another website to know what it means. Thanks again for this awesome app!!!! Your money is definitely worth this! 💜💜🌷😁😁😊😊

Extremely useful

Just having a list of names is helpful enough, but all the other lists at least the ones I’ve seen so far are helpful as well, could really be useful for fleshing out scenes, characters, locations ect when you hit the inevitable lull/fallow period in a piece of writing, not to mention a fresh orientation to different dimensions that can be utilized in thoughtful and inventive ways in a story. Also (and I think this is very important to me as a writer) it ain’t heavy on description, you get enough of a definition when warranted to get the idea but not enough to utilize the idea without fleshing it out and building your own narrative structure with it.

Best app to use.

If you're a writer, this should be your go-to app. For someone who has been writing stories for nearly five years, this saves so much time. It gives vague ideas that could turn into anything. If helps describe nearly every feature on a person, and has a perfect list of names.
This app is more than what it says, I promise. It has helped my stories be written faster by giving creativity and also helps with forming a storyline.
I love and support this app so much, I've always recommended it to all my friends, and have even gifted it to a few. This app is definitely worth buying and underrated.
