Disgusting. Automatically ‘renewed’ at double the price for something I’ve not found a use for. Didn’t even set up an account until I clicked on the invoice, so can’t see how anyone could cancel this.... See more

Honest

Quick, helpful and overall very pleasant. Even with the most plain stuff such as customer service, you can really feel world anvil's refreshing personality and core principles.

Wonderful service to organize all your ideas

I've been with Worldanvil for years now, although it has been off and on due to personal reasons. It's come a very long way in those years; there's so many amazing features, it's truly a writer's treasure trove!

It helped me kickstart my story writing process, and allowed me to keep everything neatly stored in one place. My memory is pretty bad at times, so this has been such an invaluable service.

From timelines, to family trees, to writing prompts, and everything in-between; it's truly a service you don't want to miss out on if you're a writer!

Quick and easy customer service

Quick and easy customer service, asking for an upgrade but was having trouble with the automated request, even with the time difference between UK and NZ was efficient and fast.

Tried it out, didn't like it, no refund

They have an appetizing introductory rate that will auto-renew for double its price after a year.
I went ahead and did that and after maybe a day of trying it out, determined it wasn't for me.
I kindly requested a cancellation and money back since it charged me for a year.
They instead said no multiple times due to "terms of service".

Although I see in another review here the owner personally reached out to someone saying, "I do feel it is completely unfair paying for a service you haven't used at all".

10/10 the best world building website out there

I’ve tried a few world building websites and this is by far the best. I’ve been using it for a good few years now.

You can essentially create your own wiki for your whatever kind of world you want, right down to the rock. They have so many article templates, prompts, everything you need really

I use it for fantasy writing and also for my own personal escape projects. However, it is also designed for DMs and other rpgs, for those who are looking for a good resource to put together their own game.

I do have a paid membership (GrandMaster), and I would definitely say that it is worth the investment if you are able to, but it does have a free option as well, and varies paid tiers to help your needs.

If you ever have a problem both the community and the people behind world anvil are really helpful and supportive.

Honestly I can’t recommend or rat World Anvil highly enough, it is truly a masterpiece that some how keeps getting better with each update and new feature that is added

Customer support was awesome

Customer support was awesome! I was really happy, and found myself smiling.
Also I love being able to add co-owners to worlds, it makes joint projects so much easier to work on (I’m currently subscribed at Grandmaster tier). And there are so many more features I can’t wait to experiment with! There’s so much functionality but it still feels focused, not overwhelming. I intend to be a WorldAnvil user for a long time :)

Great program, great customer service.

Their customer service is stellar! I reached out because of an error I made with a promo code and purchasing a membership plan. Ioanna got back to me first thing in the morning during business hours and gave me some more time on the membership that I would have gotten with the promo code!

The service itself is very user friendly with video tutorials showing you how to navigate and use WorldAnvil, regardless of whether or not you have paid for the membership.

Great assistance and service, highly recommend!

Super helpful support

I had meant to downgrade my subscription to a tier that fits my usage better, but I missed the auto-renewal deadline. Ioanna was very helpful in still changing this and converting my payment to a lower-level subscription, now over a longer period of time. The response was very useful, super fast, and extremely friendly. Glad to see that this small team and their excellent platform have such professional support.

Generous & Helpful

I had trouble with fastspring and was unable to take advantage of a flash discount. I reached out to their customer service, and they generously let me get the discounted price even though the offer had expired, and helped me with my account.

That being said, while most responses were within a few days, I had to wait 17 days for the first reply, hence four rather than five stars. They were apologetic about the delay.

Extensive and great product. Watch our for auto renewal.

Great product. I was auto charged a new year and wasn’t thrilled (I forgot as I had not used it in a long time, which is normal) and asked for a refund and cancellation. They gave me a partial refund, which I appreciated. The CS lady was a very good and helpful contact. Would give 5 stars if I had a full refund. Otherwise great product.

World Anvil has a lot of great tools available for world building. Its especially great to organize and keep track of everything from your world. The support team is also very responsive and understanding. I've had only great experiences on WA. I cannot not recommend it if world building is a passion!

Loanna 10/10 <3

There was an error on the purchasing of a Giant subscription Loana answered my emails. She was awesome, she is the real deal in the customer service world! (I work e-commerce as-well). Give her a raise! I would’ve liked the actual website to have a refund button but I suppose they don't want people refunding too frequently unfortunately.

Just what I've been looking for!

World Anvil is just what I've been looking for. For a while I've wanted to share the world I've been creating with my friends but it was hard to convey the messages without a 5-hour long conversation. With World Anvil, my friends are able to drop in whenever convenient, access the parts they're interested in and come back late for what they aren't. Great website!

Great App, Amazing Support, Wholesome Community

World Anvil is an amazing tool for your worldbuilding endeavors, whether you're a hobbyist or professional, and offers a staggering amount of features. Don't let the beta tag scare you — it's very robust and the team is very responsive to feedback.

Customer support has always been very helpful and kind.

I also want to mention that they have, on top of everything else, managed to build among the greatest communities I've ever been a part of through their commitment to their userbase.
