Writerly is a full writing class available on iOS. The amount of free content is large and insightful. The full paid version requires 3 purchases of $1.99 twice and $0.99 once. And it’s totally worth the low price.
Writerly assumes you are new to writing, but there is something here for everyone. There are definitely some concepts that are new to me, and writing is kinda my whole life. Writerly is also great as a refresher.
Creative writing can be beneficial in many ways. First off, it’s an emotional outlet. Writing can help you take control of your emotional situations. Writing fiction is enjoyable, and it provides a source of entertainment and learning for others(hopefully).
Writing poetry can be very tough, or very smooth. Sometimes in poetry, the beauty is in what was not said. Also, exercising your creativity within the constraints of many poetry disciplines means there is always room to grow.
Writerly is like a full college textbook, focusing entirely on what you can do to learn to write, or leveling up your current writing techniques.

This app sold me on its upgrades while I was still going through the free content. I’m loathe to spend money on most things, because I generally don’t like have it, but this tool was worth it.
