# PRO FEATURES
Basic adjustments like text size are free in Paper. More advanced personalization can be purchased with Pro Features. You will not be buying anything blindly though. The trial period for Pro Features is untimed so you can take your time to decide if they are a worthy investment.
While trialing Pro Features you might occasionally see a popup. Simply press Reset in the popup to get rid of it completely.
Pro Features is either a subscription or a one-time purchase. Both the subscription and the one-time purchase unlock Pro Features on all your iPhones and iPads that share the same Apple ID. This subscription (or one-time purchase) applies only to iPhones and iPads. Macs require a separate subscription (or one-time purchase).
The one-time purchase is hidden by default. To enable it go to the Settings app → Apps → Paper → Purchases → toggle Show Lifetime Option.
In case you want to upgrade from a Monthly subscription to a Yearly one (or to a Lifetime license) go to Paper’s page in the App Store and press the rounded button with the price next to the Yearly subscription option (or next to the Lifetime in-app purchase).

Ratings and Reviews
Could be better but almost 5 stars
I love this app so much and I can’t stop writing now that I’ve downloaded it. The only problem is the cursor. When the cursor is on a certain line, the screen automatically moves back to focus on it. This makes it hard to read my work and Ik this is very small but to me it’s quite a big thing. Other than that that, I would recommend and if you want to to to write but only have a phone it’s a good idea to download this free, super accessible app.

You probably have Typewriter Mode enabled? 🤔 Could you reach out to me in the in-app chat? I may be able to fix the issue for you. 🤓
Best writing app, bar none
I really love Paper, and have been looking for a long while for something that: supports syncing with macOS; is clean, minimalist and functional, has navigational tools to make moving around a document easier (particularly on mobile).
I simply love this app, as it ticks all the boxes for me. I don’t yet have the pro version, although I don’t have need of the pro features as an amateur writer, I want to support the developer.
If you’re looking for something simple, that supports iCloud syncing, it’s definitely worth trying. The extra navigation tools are a nice perk if you can be bothered to learn them, but thankfully they don’t get in the way (at least for me), being just extra keystrokes that you can choose to learn. The only potential problem being that the app shares the same name with other apps, most notably a decent drawing app by WeTransfer.

Paper the great story app
Paper is an amazing app! Where kids and grownups can make stories and use their imagination in their free time. I love making up stories on paper and one so far I have made 1 information book. You can do what story you want and there are no rules! Paper is so unique compared to other story apps. It is not as boring as notes and not as complicated as pages it is just right. And it’s a good thing that it is different because if everything was the same the world would be so boring. I think this app is about 3 things fun, to share and to use your imagination. It doesn’t matter if you get something wrong or if you make up a word because it’s your story. My advice for your first one would be to make it fun and as special as you are. So get paper now and take a trip into your mind! Sit back relax and enjoy!
