Must Have Free Apps

Have you noticed there are no Beta Reader Apps! Well, there is now. Download my free apps that I have made and designed over the past 15 years to make my writing life easier. Works on all modern devices. Phone, Tablets and Computers.

It's a must have for any Beta Reader and Writer.

Free to use

I tried to make these apps as reliable as possible, but sometimes, tech can have a flare for the dramatic. So, save your work often. These are just fun projects for you to enjoy and hopefully make your writing easier. Use them freely, but any data loss is on you!
