The following apps are ones I’ve either used or have heard about from other writers. Each app offers help with productivity, promotion, creativity, or the actual act of writing a story. They are listed in no particular order.
I’m linking each of these apps to the Apple store, but many are also available at the Google Play and/or Amazon App Stores.
