Said about Fortelling - Writer Tools as an alternative
Personally, I like Fortelling a lot better than Campfire. It's much faster on mobile, the layout is prettier, and it's simple.
It comes with templates for characters, items, locations, books, species, groups, and languages. It also has a place for notes and pinboards.
For most writers, this would probably be enough, but if you need other templates, you can pay to be able to create your own in the app and customize existing ones. It's cheaper than Campfire, too, I think.
Comments and Reviews
Fortelling is a great free mobile alternative to Campfire. It allows you to write your manuscript and keep track of characters, locations, items, species, and languages. The notes and pinboard features are brilliant.
However, this app has fewer worldbuilding options than Campfire and Fantasy Story Planner 2 at the moment. It connects to your Google account, so you can sync your stories between devices. You have to pay to use as a web app and get rid of ads.
