Description

Writing can be hard. Werdsmith makes it easier. 

Werdsmith turns your iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch into a powerful writing studio that inspires you to write. With features to motivate you and help you break through writer‘s block, you‘ll find yourself writing more than ever.

--Here's how it works--

1. Capture your ideas
Whenever inspiration strikes, Werdsmith makes it easy to quickly capture it before it gets lost. Staring at a blank page? The app can suggest different ways to start your story.

2. Start your project
When you‘re ready to get started, Werdsmith will take care of all the busywork so that you can focus on writing. The app automatically formats your chapters, remembers and suggests your character names and if you’ve got writers block, can even learn your writing style and write the next line of your story for you.

3. Create a writing ritual
Creating a habit of daily writing is a crucial step to becoming a successful writer. Werdsmith helps you choose a time of day that works for you, and will remind you to write.

4. Set a goal
Add a word goal to your project, and we'll show you your progress as you write. We‘ll even show you how many words you've written and how long you've spent writing, and you can track your daily stats in one of our widgets or from the Apple Watch app.

5. Get feedback and publish
When your draft is finished, you can share it privately with your editors, publish it to your readers, or export it to 1000s of other apps or your computer for printing or editing.

All your projects stay up to date between iPhone, iPad and Mac, automatically backed up and protected. Werdsmith can fit into your existing writing process, or you can treat it like a fresh start. It's up to you.

Join writers from 175 countries who’ve written over 3 million projects using Werdsmith. Many of our writers have gone on to publish books and make an impact in the world of writing. Join us!

Scared to update

I’ve been using this app since 2016 and use it to write every single day. I would be absolutely devastated if anything happened to everything I’ve written in that time. Since I first downloaded it, there haven’t been many changes to the layout or anything major. I’m sure the new changes are for the better but I’m just really nervous about how they may change all the ideas I’ve written so far. I love this app and rely on it so much you have no idea. I’d just like to know if there’s any major changes to how ideas are organized that I should worry about before I update the app. Thank you for your time. Truly love this app, would just hate to see it change completely after using it for so long… ^ also will there still be a passcode? That’s a very important feature for me… ^ sorry, my last review I think you responded to was from a while back…

Thanks for your responses! I feel a lot better about updating now knowing that it’s nothing too major. Although I will miss the custom passcode, that’s understandable. Maybe it could make a comeback in a future update lol. Thank you for your time and patience, sorry to be a bother lol. Really love this app <3

Hi there! We believe this version is a big improvement, but totally understand your concern. The major change is that your projects list is now on the top of the main screen for faster access (rather than in the second tab). There's also a search box to find older ideas and projects. If you'd like to be extra safe, you can back up your work before you update - just go to Profile > Settings > Archive > Export. Please keep in mind the custom 4-digit passcode has been removed (it was an unpopular feature that caused some issues) but you can still use Touch ID/Face ID or your device's passcode. All that said, if you'd prefer to stay on the old version, the update is completely optional! Get in touch if you need more help -Nathan

Great mobile word processor!

I’ve used Google Docs, Microsoft Word, and other mobile word processors. This is the only app I’ve been able to stick with for more than a few days (it’s been a few months). It’s simple; which I like. If you want bells and whistles, you might have to look elsewhere. But I find that’s what makes this processor far better than the others. You simply jump into a document and start writing. There’s very little to distract yourself with. You can write and save multiple documents—they are well organized on your dashboard. It has a dark-mode, which is key for me. The idea generator (which uses AI to either create a writing prompt or auto-complete a section of your own writing) is pretty good. It definitely keeps you writing if you feel stuck; even though you will most likely end up revising the suggestion it gives you. It does what it sets out to do. I personally feel this is the best word processor for writers like me—easily distracted procrastinators, who struggle to sit down and focus. You will find it much easier to “face the blank page” while using this app.

Amazing, highly recommended.

Hello Werdsmith team,
I would like to start this off to say, how this app has encouraged my love of writing into a passion. I am very glad I downloaded this app when I had the chance. Even though, I’ve had Werdsmith for less than a year, I still adore it. I used to not even know how to properly use a comma, semi colon, nor have a A in my English class. My favorite part of the whole set up would have to be, how you distinguish ideas and projects into separate categories. Love it! It’s to die for, therefore I am that type of person. 😂 Anyways, even though I did give you guys a five-star rating, I hope you wouldn’t mind if I made a suggestion. I know a heap load of apps have this nowadays, and was wondering if you could add an (a free) nighttime theme. That would help out a lot. I normally write later in afternoon when I have the chance and it’s almost blinding to look at a full out white screen. Now, I know you have different themes, but I don’t want to spend that type of money. I simply have the free version. I hope you guys take my commentary to consideration. Thank you, have a good day and or night.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to write your review and we're glad you're liking the app! To answer your question about who the membership is benefiting, we personally believe that both parties benefit. The membership allows us to continue working on the app so that the user has a product that is constantly evolving and improving. Without our subscribers, we wouldn't be able to spend as much time improving it, updating it with suggestions made by our users and providing customer support. Thanks - Nicole.
