Description of Writer Tools - Novel Planner, Tracker & Editor

The number of people who start writing a book is much larger than the number who manage to finish it. But no worries, we are here to help you.
With our writing tools you can track your progress thus far, plan your novel, write your novel and be able to focus on what matters for you the most: FINISHING THE DAMN BOOK!
Use the application in your native language. The application is currently available in English, Dutch, German, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, French, Spanish, Chinese, Italian, Korean and Chinese.
Backup
Scared of losing your progress? Don't worry, we've got a backup system for you. You can manually save your databases to our secured cloud. Only if you want to though. Now you can access or recover all your data on all your android devices.
Timer
Start our 25 minutes timer and focus on your writing. You won't be able to see your notification-bar. After a short break you can simply reset the timer and be back on track immediately.
Writing Progress
'Writing Progress' is split up in 2 tabs. With 'Writing Log' you can monitor how much and when you've written. 'Progress Stats' on the other hand shows you the statistics of your books. When you select the bell icon you can setup your personal 'Daily Writing Reminder'. An novel contains on average 80.000 words. So let's get started!
Timeline
Plan the events of your book in chronological order. But use the chapter function to order your events in the order they are presented to the reader. This will get you an overview in which order your main-events happened. This helps you also understanding what your characters already know and what they've been through.
Characters
We recommend you to create a profile for every character, even the smallest characters. It's of course unnecessary to fill in all the text fields for every character. A good habit while writing, is to note everything you come up with for a character in his/her profile. Hereby you can look this information up much quicker. It's basically your cheatsheet for all your characters.
Chapters
In the chapters module, you can chronologically order your chapters. In the description, you can describe what happens in this chapter. With this you will be able to see how your story goes in a glimp and see the chapter lengths in a nice overview.
Scenes
After you've tapped on a chapter, the application opens the scenes module. In here we recommend to plan your chapter really in depth. You can see this as an abstract way of your chapter. The scenes can also be re-ordered.
(Sub-) Locations
We recommend to start planning your environment from the biggest place in your world (e.g. a village). From here on you start to dig deeper: streets > houses > floor of a house > specific room. You can create a sub-location by tapping on a location.
Quarterly Writing Goals
If you don't set yourself some deadlines, there is a big chance you will never finish your books. It's a great idea to make a rough planning of want you want to achieve in the next few months. For example: start writing chapter 6 and 7, edit chapter 4 or write 20.000 words. Without goals, you don't have a point of focus. Set your goals and achieve them.
Unleash your inner novelist!

    The app is great for tracking your progress on a novel, but I'd much rather not have my eyes burned out if I decide to stay a little later without paying for the pro version.

    It's a very good app for writing a story. The only problem is, the app itself is not visually pleasing. If you could fix this, I would give this a 5 star. I already downloaded it and I hope you can fix it.

    This app exceeds all of my expectations. It's literally THE perfect app for planning and writing a book. Everything you could possibly need is here, and if by chance you feel there's something missing, you have the option for notes. It even keeps track of everything FOR you. I could go on and on about how perfect Writer Tools is. I still haven't completed any books yet, however I've made significant progress since I don't have to hunt for my notes, character profiles, and plans. It's perfect.

    It works well, overall. It's useful. But, I don't at all understand how the "Custom Lists" are supposed to work. When you go to make one, it asks for a title, which makes sense. But it also has things in it called fields. One of those fields, you can't change the name. I don't understand what the fields are for. Once it's saved, if you go to open the list, it doesn't let you out anything in the list; you can't even see the fields it asked you to name. I just don't understand how they work.

    The app itself is great. Has many perks and interesting sections BUT, for some reason, I can't open my chapters and my timelines. I have tried restarting the device, connecting to the internet and googling solutions. And as far as I know, this app sucks. It's great if you just started using it but later it's practically useless and frustrating.
