Incredibly useful. I've used it for a few years now and it's perfect for first drafts. I tend to have fiction files, snippets and ideas in another document and a To Do that has writing notes and my daily tasks shoved in there too; all accessible from any of my devices when signed in via google.

My only quibble is t... Show more

I went into this just looking for a place to write privately (Gdoc does not have locked documents, so I was looking for a site with a sign-in page.)

I have been enjoying my pro account for life for three years now, and I am still as thrilled as the first day I tried Writer.

I'm in love. I think this is an awesome pairing for writers and Chromebooks, which also works with any other device. Together, we have a Drafting Machine. I've started using it for long tweets for further expansion, ideas which turn into drafts, and editing transcripts of my podcast. But then I figured out how to transfer a section from Scrivener into Google Drive, then paste the chapter I want to wrestle with into Writer. My laptop is getting old at seven years.

Do not even bother looking around for another application to help you write, this is the one. Great options for Pro users. Tech support and screen changes are wonderful and easy. Just get the pro, wonderful!

In description it says "works offline" , In fact - all it does is opening their website URL in browser where you suppose to register and write there. Totally unusable offline - Misleading - Not An App

It was good, but after I signed in once, it wouldn't let me in the next time and I can't figure out how to sign back in.
