Positive review (Freewriter pro)
Hi there. I installed this app to write drafts, hoping to finally overcome my writer's block and quiet my inner critic. But no other writing app had ever really helped with that - even ones I liked. I kept getting stuck in self-editing, or I'd simply lose motivation and abandon projects halfway through.
I found this app by chance in the Microsoft Store, and I honestly didn't expect to find such a brilliant feature as the freewriting game mode. It's the freshest and best feature of the whole app - I've never come across anything like it before. Strangely enough, it helps enormously with productivity and pushing a story forward without fear, even when motivation is at zero. It genuinely works, at least for me.

It's the best app for writing story's so it's just brilliant! - Alexander - United Kingdom

A review from another author for my book, 'Insights into the Australian mind.'
--Review by Sharlene Almond
★★★★ Loved it!
My favourite book of the year! Simple, forthright, irreligious, crazy, and I loved the lot!
This book is full of ‘quotes’ from a range of different people all over Australia, revealing the ‘secret’ side of human nature in a wonderfully humorous and crazy way. And although the book is fictional, it is easy to imagine some people do think these things!
From your manipulative therapists, to tired parents, those are depressed, and everything else in between, no matter where you come from, I believe you will still find this book a refreshing read.
I was only on the first page, and I was already laughing and nodding my head. The ‘quotes’ are followed by a short description of the person that said it, adding to the hilarity of it all.
The author hits the nail-on-the-head with using only a few sentences to provide insights to the kind of person that said it, slowly revealing the psyche of humanity – from laughter to cringe, shock, surprise, and pity.
In the first few pages, I could not help but laugh, perhaps sometimes inappropriately at times. A well-written satire that covers all sorts of people, and the author does a great job of displaying unique characteristics in just a few sentences.
Perhaps one of the funniest things about this book, is that everyone can relate to the narrative in some way.
And then there are the different Australian territories, once again the author does a realistic job of illustrating where they live or come from by the way they talk, and how they think and react – and just how crazy humans really are!
Considering the theme of the book, there is a bit of swearing, nothing over-the-top, but once again even that subtle aspect illustrates the kind of person talking.
Admittedly, it does read like a comedian’s script. You have the lead-up, then the punch-line every time. However, the innovativeness of each ‘quote’ combines realism with a certain amount of full-on satire!
It is just the kind of read that if you want to laugh for a bit, get lost in the absurdity of human psychology, and get a few good sayings you might have heard before.
If you really analyze the significance about what is said, it reflects a lot about what is happening in society.
Although it may appear satirical, under the surface, it holds some surprising revelations about where society is heading.
