Latest reviews of Writing Tips app for iPhone and iPad

We need our own note taking ability with room for a book
I purchased this app only to write a review that sayss, "Give us an app that allows us to drag onto the device our own notes, with room for a book or so, something very large in space or room. Thank you". Expression is worth 99 pennies. Writing Tips does not involve expression of ones self. Therefore it is a large limitation.
Bad and Bad and...
Bad and wait.. Nope still BAD! Terrible app, only has 5 tips per category and less than 10 categories, what a damn waste, the only thing this app seems to do right is promote this egotistical b**ches books, under the "inspirational" tab of the app, lol yea right lady. Dont waste ur time or money, bing search some Writing Tips.
Cozy home to build on
I was about to give it 4 stars, but now its 5 to make up for that horrid arses comment. Theres room to grow here, Alice, but Im delighted to have found your blog through the new app. Magnificently artful presentation with simple to-the-point tips and exercises. Refreshingly light approach.
Needs to be updated.
This is a great idea for an app, and as a writer suffering from writers block I found the prompts and writing exercises intriguing. Just wish there were a lot more of them. Hopefully this app will be updated with new material soon. Although, to be fair, it hasnt even been out for 10 days yet.
Excellent
Best writing tool ever at such a low price. :)
