Description
Story Tracker makes keeping track of your submitted stories, novels, and articles easy. Never wonder again where or when you submitted a story. The information is all right there on your iPhone or iPod Touch!
Whether you're a working freelance writer, a hobbyist, or something in-between, Story Tracker is a valuable addition to your writing toolbox. Many magazines, journals, or other markets for your work don't allow simultaneous submissions. When you're juggling dozens or even hundreds of stories, it's easy to make an embarrassing mistake. Keeping track of it all can soon become a nightmare.
Here's what you can do with Story Tracker:
* Check the status of your stories, markets, and submissions at a glance.
* Use the index to jump through long lists of stories, markets, and submissions fast.
* Add or remove stories, markets and submissions with ease.
* Add details for each story, including title, word-count, genre, and notes.
* View total income earned for each story.
* 'Trunk' stories to hide them from the story list when creating submissions.
* View the submission history for each story, sorted by date.
* Add details for each market, including title, genre, editor and more.
* Use the embedded web-browser to quickly check on market websites.
* Launch email or phonecalls directly from market details.
* Log whether a particular market is open or closed to submissions.
* Closed markets are hidden from the market list when creating submissions.
* Quickly check whether you already have a submission at each market.
* View submission history for each market, sorted by date.
* Submissions are grouped by year sent.
* View response times for each submission.
* Add details for each submission, including story, market, sent/response due/response dates, withdrawn status, and notes.
* Response due dates are calculated automatically based on market response time and submission sent date, or can be overridden.
* Past due submissions are flagged with an exclamation mark on the story and submission screens.
* Past due submissions are highlighted with an orange background on the submission list, and a red number badge on the submission tab and app icon indicates the total number of past due submissions.
* Log whether a market has rejected, bought, or published a story submission.
* Store income earned for each submission.
* Statistics show totals for:
* stories, markets, and submissions.
* stories that have never been submitted, or have been abandoned (ie trunked).
* submitted stories still out to market.
* past due and withdrawn submissions.
* rejections, sales, and publications.
* income earned.
* Always remembers what screen you were looking at last.
* Saves changes on exit, or when interrupted by a phonecall.
* Database backup, restore, import and export over WiFi to your computer's web browser.

Customer Reviews
Excellent support
Contacted developer about some minor quibbles on notes and response times, got an email from the developer same day, and the next update addressed all of the issues and added more functionality. This app is a godsend for submitting and managing stories over the long run. Thanks so much
A great app for keeping up with story (and novel) submissions!
Version 1.0 is good, but v1.2 is even better! Andrew, the developer, was very open to my suggestions, and I'm loving this app now. Telling everyone I know about it. It's great having all this info at my fingertips -- I'll never goof up and send my sub to the same place twice. Not that I've ever done that... The Statistic page is quite awesome. Check it out.
Wonderful!
I love this app! It works perfectly! I was skeptical of the price at first, but I assure you, it's well worth it. This is a writer's dream app. It tracks all information you could ever want to remember in regards to submissions. I'm looking forward to some updates in the statistic section -- it's fine the way it is, but I'd like to see ability to track the stats for more information. The developer responded very quickly to my suggestions and seems open to ideas. I can't wait to see the updates! If you haven't already, GET THIS APP! :)
