Where has this been all my life
THE FUDGING BEST, recommending this to all my writer friends. MY DAYS OF SPENDING HOURS A DAY ON REDDIT POST AND RANDOM SHIFTY SITES I’VE NEVER HEARD OF ARE OVER!

Not worth it.
I really wanted to like this, but in all honesty this is like $3 for small lists when you can find all of this on google. The app needs a search, better UI, tags, more extensive lists, origin definitions, etc. Not worth the money. Just open a browser and a notepad.
