![]() It angers me more than you can imagine that this application appears to still be for sale despite the fact that everyone reports just how much the app doesn't work. And I counted 6 crashes before I basically just shut down the program. Today I decided to open it back up and try using it again. The constant crashing led me to stop using the software for months. But I have noticed in the years since that the app crashes 9 out of 10 times when I am trying to add information to specific sections. And for about a year it worked like a dream. When I purchased this software it was because I was led to believe it was just what I needed to keep track of all of my notes for a novel I was writing.

And although I don't have a printed manual, being a beta tester, I love the idea that you can order one. The basic program seems very fast and intuitive to me. Still, it's certainly possible to plunge in and start writing without a high level of mastery. ![]() Even then, I found it easier to make sense of than Scrivener.
