These days, there is an app for just about anything a writer could possibly need. From productivity to organization to meditation or music – our phones help us do a lot. For writers, there are so many apps to help beat writer’s block, dictate voice recordings, find inspiration, and more. Here are our top app recommendations writers should use regularly.
1) Hemingway Editor
The Hemingway Editor can be used via the internet or as an app on your computer. With the Hemingway Editor, you add your text and will get a report of not only how clear and concise your writing is, but also the estimated reading level, total word count, the number of sentences that are hard to read, and more. This app is great for a first-time or novice writer who wants to improve their writing and understand exactly what needs to be fixed in a clear, color-coded method.
2) Evernote
I love Evernote because it keeps my digital note-keeping organized. It can create different notebooks, copy and paste website text, save links, take notes, keep voice recordings, and more. The app syncs across all my devices as well. So, if I add a note in the app on my phone, I’ll see the same note when I open the app on my computer or tablet.
3) Grammarly
Grammarly is an amazing free app for writers. The app is available as a browser plug-in for quick spelling and grammar checks while you write emails and tweets (I use it on my Chrome browser). You can also download their desktop app to create and store documents. Totally recommend this app.
4) Pinterest
Pinterest is a total treasure trove for writers. From location research and character building to writing prompts and advice, writers can find all the inspiration they need in one place.
5) Merriam-Webster Dictionary
There are times when we all struggle to think of the word we’re looking for, need a synonym, or want to expand our vocabulary a bit. Having the Merriam-Webster app on your phone helps in all three of those areas.
