"I've used several dedicated writing apps and the usual Pages or Word apps as well, and honestly the dedicated ones always lack things I find in other apps. Edda just has them all. The Writer's Helper feature is awesome — it's got everything. It honestly delivered and more."
"I genuinely feel like many writers would love this app. It's so hard at times to keep everything organized, especially in a creative environment. Having everything in one place is a huge boon. I had my story scattered through 3 different apps — now it's all in Edda."
