Being able to access the dashboard for all of my books - FICTION and NON FICTION, as well the space for storyboarding and planning my YouTube videos for my books make this the best space for creative project management, world building, and plotting. > > **Cons**: Don't have much I don't like about Plottr. The features and nice-to-haves for the platform have been introduced year-over-yer by the developer. None of my improvement recommednations have anything to do with the product itself. It gets the job done and continues to get better. If you're thinking about getting Plottr, do it. > > Has been an overall great experience. ----- ### "Plottr helps me think" — 5.0/5 > **Nancy** | *February 15, 2023* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very intuitive, captures essential elements of a well thought-out plot. Especially love the templates for plot structure and character templates. > > **Cons**: I love everything about the software, so I’ll just share something I’d like to see because I’m greedy. Sometimes I’ve started a timeline using one structure (ie save the cat) and realize I should have been using a different one. But I have to start over with an entirely new file, and re-enter everything. > > Plottr is a great tool for guided brainstorming about a book idea and fleshing out the details needed to confidently begin writing. I wouldn’t start any other way. And, the developers just keep making it better. I don’t even realize I want a new feature before they deliver it. ----- ### "DO NOT BUY for multiple install on different PC or Android app" — 1.0/5 > **Pete** | *March 19, 2023* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It looks cool and if it worked would be very useful. Nice simple UI and good features but could use some refinements. > > **Cons**: It's unreliable and you will not be happy when you lose a full days work or worse. Plus the Backup can not be counted on as backup if used to a shared repository like OneDrive > > They sell a multi license pack and charge one license for each install regardless of platform. The app for android does not work properly always losing data between saves. Also on the initial import from a copy you have saved somewhere else, only half the data is imported. Additionally, if you install on 3 PCs for example, you can open the original file from a shared location, but when it saves after you have made changes, it saves locally, rather than to the place you opened it from. This leads to out of sync conditions when you then go back to a different PC and try to open it...its the old version\! Making it worse is that when it performs it's "backup" to the shared location, literally, it misses half the info you entered so its not really a backup. Overall, its pretty terrible and useless if you expect to use it without if losing your content continuously. My guess is that it works fine for a single install, but for multiple installs for yourself or to deploy to say a collaborator, it simply does not work. Their CS is nice, but are helpless as its the programming that is bad. OneNote, while not as cool, does a way better job and with 100% reliability. DO NOT BUY if you want multiple installations to work from different computer. ----- ### "An excellent tool to add to the toolbox." — 5.0/5 > **Robert** | *June 13, 2023* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Plottr is one of the stronger visual-interface writing tools out there. Especially in the early stages of a work, it can be extremely helpful in just getting things laid out properly. > > **Cons**: If there's a downside to the software, it's that it can be tough to make the jump from the groundwork done on Plottr to a different platform. > > Very helpful in the early stages of large projects\! ----- ### "So Glad I Found Plottr\!" — 5.0/5 > **Laurie** | *April 28, 2023* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the templates and how easy it is to use them. I'm a visual person, so being able to lay out my chapters within the Structure of the three or four Acts Plot helps me see where I need to plug holes, lay in twists and turns, and make sure I've accomplished the goals for my characters. I can "see" the layers and it saves me time. > > **Cons**: I'm satisfied with the upgrades made in the past year and have no "cons" to mention. > > I bought an early version and have enjoyed each upgrade and the process of learning as Plottr has grown and changed. It's a great tool to use quickly when I want to get my brainstorming down and get the ideas out of my head. I can then switch things around quickly and change up what I want to do to the plot. I also like that I can plot out multiple projects. It's more basic than some programs out there, and I enjoy that because I don't want a program that is so over-blown I need an engineering degree to understand it. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2076488/plottr?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2076488/plottr) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
