What makes a good worldbuilding app?
Put simply, what makes a writing app good for you will depend on the kind of writer that you are.
- If you’re an author, you might be interested in a writing app with outlining, planning, and formatting functionalities.
- If you’re a student, you’re probably in the market for a writing app that blocks out distractions while you’re writing.
- If you’re a screenwriter, you’ll want a writing app that’s specifically dedicated to writing screenplays.
Or, if you’re none of the above, worry not: that’s why we built this directory of writing apps. Whatever you need, we’ve gathered the outstanding writing apps of 2024 across multiple categories (drafting, editing, note-taking, etc) and platforms (Android, iOS, online browsers, etc) in one place. Feel free to use the filters to make your quest for the perfect writing app even easier!
So what are the best worldbuilding apps of 2024?
We can now put an end to the age-old debate of which writing app is best: Microsoft Word vs. Google Docs?
The answer, of course, is neither! Hopefully, this directory will point you towards a much better match that actually fulfills your writing needs. We objectively evaluated each writing app based on four metrics.
- Performance: How seamlessly does the writing app do what it’s purported to do? How good is the user experience, from top to bottom?
- Features: How many bells and whistles are built into the app to augment its use?
- Accessibility: Is it widely available on many different operating platforms (e.g. iOS, Windows, mobile, desktop, etc)?
- Value: Is it worth the cost that it would take to download it?
