About this app

For aspiring writers planning to write poems, short stories, novels, screenplays and much more, WriteOwl is the solution for you.

In the project editor, users can edit the details of:
- Story Ideas
- Chapters
- Characters
- Scenes
- Items
- Locations

With Dropbox Integration, users can create, edit, rename, and delete .hoo (project files) and .txt files with a working internet connection.

Users can export their project as a manuscript text file on the same directory as your project file, locally or on Dropbox.

The text editor has built-in keyboard shortcuts (such as CTRL+Y for redo…). It contains basic functionality such as Undo and Redo.

**v2.0 Cyber Monday Update **
- Improved, intuitive UI
- Dropbox API v2 support
- Export chapter, character, item and location content onto text file
- Minor stability improvements

Note that:
1. WriteOwl automatically saves projects each time changes are made such as adding, deleting, or editing story components.
2. WriteOwl **never** deletes files without permission.
3. When you lose internet connectivity, any open Dropbox file is saved on your local cache.
4. If you have any issues with WriteOwl that require extensive troubleshooting, contact us directly at anconeandroid@gmail.com.

the app is really good for writing down ideas, but I lose work much too often, because you must click the save button. when I lose it it's usually my own fault, however, a bit ago, the app glitched when I tried to delete a chapter, and it deleted every chapter in that work. it was one that I'd been working on for about a year.

I have been using this app for the better part of two years. I loved it and never had a problem until today. I was editing a chapter and the app crashed. Now every time I try to access my manuscript at all the app crashes. I even downloaded the app on a different device and tried to access my back up on drop box and through other apps but it says the files from Write Owl are not available. TWO YEARS WORTH OF WORK GONE! If you download this app, be sure to have a viable back up for your files.

It's an OK app and serves its purpose. Wish however there were functions in the app that allowed for auto saving just in case of any mishaps and for a plot point progression feature
