App summary

Writer's Companion is an app created by author Caleb A. Robinson to aid writers in planning their novels, organizing their content, and achieving their goals.

Projects:
Projects are at the center of the Writer's Companion App. Every goal you set, outline you create, and world-building item you add will be related to a Project to help you stay organized. The word "Project" can be replaced with "Novel", "Screenplay", or "Dungeons and Dragons Campaign"; it just depends on what you use the app for!

World-Building
The world-building tool can be used to organize information about the world in which your story takes place. Adding a world-building item will create a new category into which you can organize your ideas (for example "Characters" or "Kingdoms"). Once you have created a category, you can add individual items (for example "Percy Jackson" or "Gondor").

Goals
Goals help writers stay on target to achieve their dreams. Use this part of the app to create and edit goals and to view your progress. Goals are tied to your Projects so you can keep your progress organized. Goals don't have to be measured in word counts. You can use chapters, hours, pages, scenes edited—anything you can think of!

Planning
The planning tool allows you to create chapter outlines for your Project. Each Project can have one chapter outline. You can add world-building items to each chapter so you can keep track of which characters are present in the scene, where it takes place, or really anything you might need to track! You can easily view your writing progress by checking the box next to a chapter when it is complete.

Miscellaneous
There are a handful of other tools to use such as note taking, backing up your data, a Tip of the Day, user statistics, and more!

User reviews
No idea how old these comments are, but: Free version pretty much serves only to let you get an idea of the apps potential. Can only create 30 'items'.. beyond that it's a great app worthy of the $20 for a year IF you fully plan to utilize it. Has really helped me organize and prepare my stories.

No indication of entry limits until you reach it, then you can't add anything else without paying for a previously unmentioned premium service. Kinda unfair for an otherwise decent app but I paid for the subscription anyway so I guess that's a pretty good indicator of how useful it is. Keep in mind the premium sub (limit to 30 items or entries without it), but otherwise it's great at what it offers.

having a fun time with this app so far! it's really helpful for organizing my thoughts and getting them down. only downside for me so far is I like to do a lot of my quick work on my phone and then flesh it out on the computer, when I downloaded one my computer and signed into the same account it said I have nothing but it's still showing everything on my phone. amazing app otherwise
