### "An Essential Tool"

April 19, 2023

4.0

After having used Plottr for about a year, I now regard it as an essential writing tool. I keep it up on a second screen as I write on my primary screen.

Pros

The timeline itself is essential and easy to use. But the feature I found most surprisingly valuable is the ability to tag character descriptions with photos. Having a photo for each character helps me remember their physical characteristics and I find myself referring back to them often. I also use the Notes capability to brainstorm plot directions and keep track of background information and research.

Cons

I have experienced two cases of lost data, but to be clear, these were both in earlier versions of the product than I am now using. In both cases, the software crashed and all data was lost. After the first such loss, I began archiving backup copies every few days. I'm aware of one other user having a data loss problem, but that occurred when she was exporting data to Word. Her version of the product is more recent than mine.

Reason for choosing Plottr

Excel was an ad hoc solution that only very roughly served the purpose, not having been designed for structuring a book.

### "The Best Plotting Software"

February 13, 2025

5.0

Plottr has made my writing life easier, and I don't know what I'd do without it. There are other programs out there, but this one is by far my favorite.

Pros

I really love the flexibility of Plottr. Not only is it a great way to organize all my random thoughts into a cohesive plot, it has space for the entire story bible as well.

Cons

There are occasional bugs, but customer support is very responsive. Sometimes they contact me before I even realize there might be a problem!

Switched from

[Scrivener](https://www.capterra.com/p/180597/Scrivener/)

I still use Scrivener for writing, but I do all my plotting and story bible entries in Plottr because it's so much easier to work with and more attractive.

### "If You Are A Writer, You Need This"

March 5, 2026

5.0

The people behind Plottr, the techs, the help desk, and the newsletters are so fantastic. Dealing with this company is like Customer Service used to be, before everything became automated. You actually get a live person, and they are extremely prompt.

Pros

I love this software so much that I purchased a lifetime license. I was a pantser, and I would always hit the 25K mark, sit back, and think, 'Now what?' Plotting my novel out with the entire journey of the main character, the next main character, the antagonist, and a second antagonist has made this so much more productive. I can fill in the blanks. I know what chapters go where, and I am getting it done. I am taking my MFA in Creative Writitng and have recommended this software to the entire cohort.

Cons

The learning curve was awkward for me, but six months later, I have it all sorted, so I cannot really call that a con. Just a minor setback.

### "Buggy and unusable"

April 23, 2025

1.0

Overall pretty good. However, if at any point a software can fail to allow you to continue working, it's a non-starter.

Pros

Lots of great options and ways of working. Very flexible and intuitive to use. Well thought out.

Cons

It's super buggy. You'll be working on a project and then be suddenly unable to view any of your files that they save in the cloud. Customer service doesn't respond for 24-48 hours. So, if you're on a writing roll, be prepared to lose all your work with no help for up to 2 days. It's unusable.

### "I recommend Plottr to all my author friends"

September 8, 2024

5.0

Pros

The ability to visually lay out my plot has been incredibly helpful. With drag and drop functionality, I can move things around easily. Built-in templates help prompt ideas for scenes and characters. I love the tagging feature that allows me at a click to see if I have spread minor characters or subplots evenly across my story. I switched from using Scrivener to using Plottr for my series bible for characters and places, because I prefer the way it is set up. For some stories I have plotted by chapter, in others by scene. Plottr allows me this flexibility. Plottr is constantly being updated and the developers are responsive to user feedback. There is a Facebook community group for asking questions, as well as a lot of training available on YouTube.

Cons

Plottr has a bit of a learning curve because it has so many features.

Switched from

[Scrivener](https://www.capterra.com/p/180597/Scrivener/)

I still use Scrivener for writing text but for plot, character, and locations management, I find Plottr better due to its visual layout, as well as the ability to have one spot to maintain a series bible of characters and places.

### "Plottr Is Very Helpful For Writers"

May 7, 2024

5.0

I love it. When I plot a new project, I create a new file. I write many series and interconnected stories, and Plottr helps me keep track of characters and scenes very well. I would like a feature where I can use one template's answers to build on the next, such as Snowflake Pro's ability to display my Step 1 tagline for Step 2's expanding it to multiple sentences, etc. I would like the ability to copy features between characters easily, such as characters that share an Enneagram type. I would also love to see integration with websites such as Pexels.com \[public domain stock photos\] and Canva.com \[graphic design\], to take a character photo into Canva maybe to edit or add border, or an interface to GIMP for editing.

Pros

Ease of Use Customizable For My Needs Fun Interface Useful Parts Collaboration between other software, i.e. Snowflake Method and Randy Ingersson Learning Curve is small Lots of Tutorials Versatile!

Cons

I wish it had more of the features I liked in Snowflake Pro, such as displaying my previous step for me to write the next. But, it is very hard to find anything to dislike about this software!

Switched from

[Snowflake](https://www.capterra.com/p/148267/Snowflake/)

Plottr is more customizable, and the ability to associate pictures with my characters and places is unmatched! I would like to see more export options such as .txt and possibly database or spreadsheet.

### "Lost my entire book draft - all plot outlines "

July 10, 2024

1.0

Probably outsourced development - because we were told that regardless of "buying" a subscription through the app store - that technically didn't "count" for having an account....so when they randomly stopped supporting the app - all the data was lost.

Pros

Interface / structure, but doesn't mean much if it loses your data

Cons

It lost our data without explanation or word from the company.

### "Makes outlining so much easier!"

July 14, 2023

5.0

I’ve been very happy with it. It allows me to easily outline my books and even keep a series of books all together, which I love, because I don’t have to recreate all the characters and settings and notes, it’s just all there. It also gives me a quick and easy tool when I’m editing for someone to input the basic plot and see where things are landing and we need to move things around a bit.

Pros

Plottr allows me to lay things out the way my brain processes information. I like how easy it is to make changes and move things around. I had a novel that I was struggling to balance where I had a pivotal character coming in and out. I added a plotline for them and easily tracked where they were appearing and it helped figure out where else I needed to add them in so their arc didn’t get lost. It was fantastic.

Cons

The new ability to add acts/phases I still haven’t figured out. It wasn’t as easy as I thought it’d be and I haven’t devoted much time to trying to sort it all out. I think it’ll be useful once I dig into it, but it could be a little more intuitive to use.

Reason for choosing Plottr

It came down to ease of use. Plottr felt more intuitive to me.

### "Easier to use than a storyboard"

March 3, 2025

5.0

I've used Plottr to plan and document three novels. It worked brilliantly to create a timeline that carried over through my series and keep the character details within easy access. I used to plot with 5X7 cards, a research folder, photos, and such on a giant easel. Plottr organizes all I need.

Pros

Plottr is intuitive and easy to use. It has many features and layers for creating timelines, outlines, notes, and character profiles. Compared to other plotting programs, Plottr can be used immediately without hours of instruction. I don't want to spend weeks learning a technology tool. I just want to put everything I need to refer to in one place.

Cons

At first, I wanted to create my own scene cards so I used one of the scene templates in Plottr. Now, there are many more templates to use with some based on the genre of the story. Other templates match popular workshop models.

### "Great Program for your Plotting Needs"

December 24, 2024

5.0

This program has helped me out substantially with my plotting needs. Although there are a couple of things which I’m not a fan of, overall I’m bet satisfied with my purchase and am looking forward to using the program for a long time.

Pros

I like the way the program is set up. It’s easy to learn and use. There are several ways you can organize the cards on the timeline which I really appreciate. The tag system is also very useful.

Cons

The fact that it did start slowing down one I reached a certain number of cards on the timeline with text. I had to get rid of a lot of the text in the cards which was inconvenient.

### "Makes Outlining Fun!"

November 13, 2024

It was a fantastic tool that made the outline process enjoyable.

Pros

I love the drag-and-drop functionality of the timeline.

Cons

### "9/10, would recommend!"

May 25, 2023

5.0

Pros

Honestly, what isn't there to love? I love Plottr's timeline feature and the character tab is one of my favorite to use. I also love the templates they include: they lay out the beats needed for each story arch and explain them in great detail. One of my favorite things, though, is that they have video tutorials for how to use their features! If you're lost, someone will walk you through it and make that feature super easy to understand. I think their timeline tutorial I watched was less than 5 minutes and I didn't have any issues with using the timeline after that. Not that you need the tutorials: I'd say its user-friendly on its own.

Cons

I wish there was a feature to draft in Plottr. I know that's probably not the ideal function of the app for the developers, which is totally fine, but I like having an all-in-one tool. I'm more of a pantser, so I like having a place to store plot ideas and draft scenes in snippets. But otherwise, I'd definitely recommend Plottr to people - and have before!

### "Plottr Makes Writing A Joy"

November 29, 2022

5.0

I could not be more pleased with this software, the ease of use, and especially the technical support. I find the team at Plottr to be almost instantaneously responsive, super helpful, and extremely kind. I have recommended the software to my writing community, and will continue to do so.

Pros

The full integration of the timeline, scene cards, and character details makes this software my only choice in writing. The ability to write the full text of my novel in each scene card, and them move then throughout the timeline as details develop is critical. Color coding helps to keep the status of each phase in order, and the export to MS Word feature means I don't have to do the work twice.

Cons

The only negative is that when I save a project with a new name (for archive purposes), the software opens a new window with the newly named file. Although this can be a little clunky, I am comfortable working around that small glitch, because I'd much rather have confirmation that the file was saved with the new name, than unsure, and potentially lose a new iteration of my story. So this isn't really a "con", but more of a note about a specific learning curve I experienced. It certainly isn't something that would ever move me away from using Plottr!

### "How did authors survive before Plottr?"

February 11, 2023

5.0

My overall experience with Plottr has been a joy. I have already seen how using this program will help me see where the information doesn't match from chapter to chapter as well as to the areas that it works very well. I also look forward to having my character bible in one place with my chapter/book notes. I am getting excited to get back to work while writing this review. So its time to get out of here and get back to Plottr!

Pros

If you read my reviews on each feature, you'll see why I can't pick just one pro for here. I can't imagine having one of the features without the other. The Plottr team has done an excellent listening to the needs of authors and providing a feature to meet that need. Plus, they continue to listen and add key features. If I had to pick one reason to go with Plottr and stick with Plottr, I would say CUSTOMER SERVICE!! They don't just wait for us to reach out. They keep in contact and let their users know they are there for any questions or concerns that may pop up. While at the same time, they don't overload your inbox and they work hard to keep the emails they do send relevant to improving your experience. And the price! Sure PlottrPro may be a larger chunk of money, but when you consider that it can be for lifetime use, that cost is quickly absorbed in longetivity as well as ease of use and capability of the program's features.

Cons

The learning curve in regards to the templates. I will probably have to try them all before I decide which one(s) I will use most. And that just takes time. But will be so worth it.

### "Love my Plottr"

May 1, 2023

5.0

Overall, I find Plottr simple to use and well worth the money I spent on it. As they continue updating the software, it gets better. I look forward to seeing what comes next and other ways I might use it beyond plotting personal books and writing projects.

Pros

I love the visual aspect of plotting books in Plottr and the availability of plotting an entire series if needed. The tutorials and workshops are outstanding. One led me to use Plottr to track editing and publishing assistance projects, too, which gives me a quick visual of what I have on my plate and coming up so I better plan for projects and can accept new ones with a realistic timeline. I didn't expect that but am delighted at the alternate use. As a visual person, seeing the plot works beautifully and it uploads to Scrivener nicely. After one year, I opted for a lifetime subscription. I'll keep using it.

Cons

I can't sync between Plottr and Scrivener--although I understand that may be a future enhancement. For me, that's the only downside.

Reason for choosing Plottr

With the sunsetting of Snowflake, I followed Randy Ingermanson's recommendation of Plottr. Love that it works with Scrivener so well.

### "Amazingly Helpful! LOVE its Visual Capabilities"

January 12, 2023

5.0

Outstanding, all round!

Pros

It took me awhile to discover my needed usefulness for this tool, versus my only buying it because I got a great "Snowflake" transfer-over deal on it. Now that I'm far enough along in my book project to want to track, visually and easily, what I've already said about any primary or secondary topic in my story, I'm finding it INVALUABLE! I'm choosing to do this, at this time, via plotlines only. I use them as an expanded visual data-tracker of my content. I do this by planting the full scene in its most appropriate plot-line (character or place, say). But then I duplicate that scene card (instantaneous) and cut out all the background noise from it that doesn't pertain to whatever other item/s I want to visually keep succinct track of. Say, a place or character mentioned within this chapter, in a secondarily important way. Or it might be some backstory, too. I'm finding it INCREDIBLY EASY to visually track what I've said, or covered, on any topic (place, subject, etc) at any time now. Love it! Invaluable to this "visually oriented" gal!

Cons

I own the desktop version. I do find its save feature a bit cumbersome for having it on my desktop, surprisingly. That said, I know the design and planning team behind this product are working on it constantly to improve it, listen to feedback, and enhance it. I've little doubt they will see to this in time. It's SO COOL that you can log on to their support site and see what enhances or updates they're currently working on, what yet-to-be-birthed features have received the most votes, etc.

### "Targeted Focus Makes Plottr Actually Useful"

November 5, 2022

5.0

Pros

I like that it just focuses on the plotting. It doesn't try be all things, and that makes the software so much more accessible, and so much better for incorporating into my existing process. I have set it up as a series bible and I like that everything is easily found and catagorised. That was why I bought Plottr as my previous 'notes in a document' method was too confused and I was losing track of things. I have tried out some other popular writing software before and never managed to get on with it, as it was too much. It was writing, it was plotting, it was formatting etc. Plottr does what it does, and it does it well. That was what I wanted. Plus I am very happy that I can buy the software once and that it doesn't stop working. So many systems now are subscription only. I may very well purchase the updates as the price is reasonable but if I don't, I don't lose everything. I'm probably more likely to make subsequent purchases as I don't feel forced into it.

Cons

I wish that the tags were clickable. So if I assign a character to something then I could click on the tag and be taken to that character. I would like to be able to mark off scenes when I have written them, and have the outline scroll down to the scene I am working on rather than just always being at the top. But these are tiny little things (well maybe not little in terms of programming) but what I mean is they aren't vital. It would be nice to have but I'm not frustrated as they aren't there. The software does everything I need and I have been pleased at how well I have got on with it.

### "Excellent for all your plotting needs. "

February 16, 2023

5.0

Pros

Plotting can be an important part to write a story. This tool is a simplified outlining tool to help out authors who are facing problems with developing their stories. The dashboard is clutter-free and the UI is easy to learn. The templates also make the plotting easy. Their notes and characters features are excellent. Definitely recommend this tool to those who like to plot stuff beforehand.

Cons

I think more worldbuilding tools can be added, but it could also make things complicated. The dashboard can be improved. Right now, it appears as another window within the main window. I frankly liked the ones in the earlier versions. The software also lacks multi-tab feature, which could be useful.

### "The tool I was looking for"

November 17, 2022

4.0

Plottr is THE software I was looking for. When I write a movie, I used to work on index cards because I love to move things around, but I don't have enough space in my office, so it wasn't always easy. Plottr solved that and now I can write how much as I want and as many virtual index cards as I need to put together my movie.

Pros

Writing scenes on virtual index cards and being able to move them around. The ability to use different plot lines for various characters' arcs.

Cons

I honestly don't know what to say about cons because Plottr has everything I need. Sure, there are some features that I don't use, but I can't say they are "cons". The only thing I miss is the ability to put the "index cards" wherever I want (at the moment, it's linear: one must follow the previous one along the same line. It'd be awesome if I could put something up and down, here and there, and be able to connect them on the same line.)

### "Plottr is key to my author business"

June 14, 2023

5.0

I love Plottr. I've even given a presentation on how I use Plottr. For me, the how-to videos didn't fully capture how amazing a tool this is for a fiction writer. But like I said, that's just me.

Pros

Plottr is so much more than plotting. A key reason I use it is for series bibles. I write across (to date) five different series, and keeping track of characters, settings, arcs, as well as each book's beats is critical to my success as an author. The few times I've had questions, support has been incredible. The improvements they constantly make show me that they listen and involve their users.

Cons

I get an error message when I export to Scrivener about versions not matching, but it doesn't seem to affect anything once I'm in my Scrivener document. Just minor anxiety when I see it, lol!

Reason for choosing Plottr

The visual layout of the scenes is more helpful to me than the binder system of Scrivener, when it comes to plotting. I use different beats than Save the Cat which are available in Plottr.

### "Outlining For Screenplays With Plottr"

April 28, 2023

5.0

While I'm not an expert at it yet and still bounce between Word and Plottr, I really do appreciate the level of detail and ways to help guide a writer guide through story development. In many instances, information can be missed but Plottr helps to remind you and keep you on track.

Pros

There are two aspects that stand out. The first is that it works like in-depth flash cards when structuring your story. I used to use flashcards. So this felt familiar and comfortable. The second is that it really helps me to focus on character development. Taking the time to really think on the series of questions helps me drill down deeper than what you might do in a word processing application. With that, that helps with story structure. So having these two areas, for me, is a huge boost when structuring out my story.

Cons

Initially, I became frustrated by the lack tools when outlining. I sent in my request to develop tools that would work more like Microsoft Word with indenting, bullet points etc. Happily, that was recently added and this helps immensely to the overall layout of ideas.

### "Great Product"

June 10, 2023

5.0

The pros outweigh the cons. The learning curve is negligible when you factor in the time you'll save writing your outline and the time saved on the writing process. I rarely write myself into a corner now that I'm using this software.

Pros

I like the fact that you can use this as a digital whiteboard and drag and drop your ideas into different spots to formulate your project chapters.

Cons

There is a bit of a learning curve if you have never outlined a story. I was a pantser before I bought Plottr but I am a planner now. This software makes it easy.

### "Plottr for Pants-ters"

January 24, 2023

5.0

I write my stories by the seat of my pants. But I recognize the need for organization. My characters must be consistent throughout the book or series. I was also losing track of my timeline. Plottr to the rescue! This wonderful product does not replace my other writing tools, it augments the whole writing process. Other writing tools may include some of the same features, but Plottr lays them out in a logical, graphical manner. Plottr has improved the cohesiveness of my stories in a streamlined manner. I highly recommend Plottr for writers and any creative person.

Pros

Plottr has a clean, clear timeline. The plotlines and scene cards they contain are interconnected with the underlying notes, characters, places, and tags sections. The ability to interlink multiple books in a series is a great advantage. Using the Filter, I can quickly see where I used certain characters and concepts.

Cons

The structure of Plottr is so versatile, I can't say there is a limitation that affects my use. For example, I wanted a timeline to track my story's events. I simply added a Plotline and named it "Time Line". Now I simply add a scene block on the Time Line to track when each story event is happening. Easy-peasy.

### "Best plotting software out there"

May 17, 2023

5.0

Use it every day, for every book. Use has evolved but I'm so grateful to have this.

Pros

It's great for organizing and visualizing and keeping things together.

Cons

I'm low-level worried about more and more features being added and slowing the software down. Versions on my Chromebook, computer and phone don't seem to sync with each other. Often, older files are inaccessible bc of some error.

### "A Very Good Program"

July 11, 2023

5.0

I enjoy Plotter and use it often. It'snot perfect, but it's very good and a useful too. Support is great. I highly recommend it.

Pros

Plottr is an intuitive program specifically designed for helping authors plot and outline novels. The ability to export the information to other programs, such as Scrivener or Atticus, is critical to the usefulness of the program, and allows information to flow directly into the writing programs without duplicating effort.

Cons

Updates are clunky, and often fail, resulting in manual downloads and installation. I only tried PlottrPro once, and it was too buggy to use at the time, but it may be a better solution in the long-term. I also think the notes interface could use a little updating to make it more word processor like.
