## Reviews

### "When it Comes to Essential Publishing Business Story The Plottr Thickens" — 5.0/5

> **Shawneda** | *May 26, 2023* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Keeping all the information for all of my series in one place makes Plottr my go-to book building software after trying literally EVERY platform found since beginning publishing in 2005. 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.

### "I recommend this to literally everyone" — 5.0/5

> **Greer** | *November 18, 2022* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Love the character feature and the timeline features
> 
> **Cons**: It has been buggy in the past but the customer service is the best I've ever encountered. I would like the option of putting things off the timeline, like just out in the open on the backboard if that makes sense, because it's a floating idea
> 
> I am loving plottr and I will never go back. I recommend it to literally everyone and it was amazing to use for my six-book series instead of my 142 page google doc. The price is outstanding for what it offers.

### "Love the Mac desktop version" — 3.0/5

> **Jg** | *February 24, 2023* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Love desktop app experience and how the team continues adding useful features
> 
> **Cons**: New iPad app for Plottr Pro is almost unusable, I liked the old version much better
> 
> Instrumental to my creative process love the Scrivener export

### "Plottr Up My Writing Game" — 5.0/5

> **Amanda** | *May 17, 2023* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The timeline is very visual which really helps me see the bigger picture of my written works. The templates really helped with my pacing.  I love that I can add photos to my character and locations it helps me to find information quickly.
> 
> **Cons**: I struggled a lot with the version that was downloaded on my computer. I would loss my data and have to pull from my back up monthly. That is much better now with Plottr Pro it is all on line.
> 
> When I have had issues with the software or my account the customer server has been over the top wonderful.

### "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.
