Scripts Pro - Screenwriting on the Go App Reviews

Using this app is a dream, whenever your on the go and have an idea you can just get it down. It was awesome until within the last 2 weeks, it deleted everything I wrote and every new script gets deleted after I shut down the app.

This app was great until last month. Now it has deleted ALL my scripts (thankfully I have backups) and no-longer allows me to save any others. Im guess the company has closed shop, since my repeated emails to them have all gone unanswered. VERY POOR. Until this is fixed the app is currently useless.

Anyone having issues? It deleted my script and it wont save the one Im trying to re write Im so upset!

Straight-up doesnt work anymore. Heartbreaking, as it was my primary app for writing for a long time. Maybe do an update?

Are you working on an update for iOS 9.1? I cant imagine any other reason y my tab button isnt working to switch btwn action, character etc. my keyboard is really close to the button that allows me to change action, character,dialogue etc. fix please.

The new update has greatly improved the look and performance of the app, easily the best script app.

I was a fan of this app in the beginning, but the update for iOS 9 makes it so much better and easier with ease of function and less battery drain. Great stuff!

I loved the old version.. Im really bummed out that all the scripts that I had written in the old version just disappeared with the update. Luckily I emailed them all to myself or else I would have lost all of my work. Its frustrating enough to start looking at other apps.

Great looking app. Features look great, and perform great. Really liking the new layout as well, but there was one problem. No matter what I did, I couldnt save any script. I tried every little trick to figure out a way, but nothing worked. I had to uninstall the app, and reinstall it for the app to actually start working properly. This isnt the first app that has had this issue, but its still slightly disappointing. Now that it works, its great! But for those having this same issue, try the method I explained above and hopefully it works for you.

I really didnt care to much for this app and never used it for the past year or so. Felt slow and clunky. But with this New update, its completely simplistic. Id fix a few things here and there (return button goes to action rather than to next character in dialogue mode) but other than color preferences and a night mode, I use this app everyday. And Dropbox works, didnt before.

Just as the other reviewer noted. There is no save button and just tapping "done" does not save your document. Am I missing something? Good support! They emailed back saying that iCloud needs to be enabled for the app in your phone settings. Saves as expected now. If they just integrated an index card capability, it would be perfect.

After jotting ideas with the app went back to update. Didnt save. Bloody hell! Thought it was user error tested few other times same issue. Cant trust it with creativity.

The app is still great except for the fact that all of my scripts are gone.

VERSION 4.0 UPATED REVIEW: The long awaited update to Scripts Pro is FINALLY here. All of the bugs introduced in iOS 8 I experienced have been fixed -- fantastic news. With the long development delay, I feared Scripts Pro was no longer being supported. I reluctantly checked out the other screenwriting apps to see if I could find a replacement, but I couldnt find one that worked in the way I had grown accustomed to with Scripts Pro. To my elation, Scripts Pro has practically risen from the dead to bring us a killer update. The new layout initially surprised me with its simplicity. It looked unusual to not have the menu on the right hand side, but I immediately became comfortable with the sparse layout and even more thoughtful key-shortcuts than before. I dont have much to add to my review, but I will say this: even though the iOS screenwriting app landscape has grown to include big hitter mobile apps like Celtx and Final Draft, I still find Scripts Pro to be the ONLY worthwhile screenwriting software on the App Store. I love it, and the competitors could learn a thing or two from Scripts Pro. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I have been using my iPad and this app for the last year or so exclusively for all of my screenwriting. When I first purchased it, it was the only real option on the App Store that had offline editing -- an essential feature for me as I do a lot of traveling planes and to places without wifi. As of now, there is still no other app that can be it it for screenwriting. As for recent reviews -- iOS 8 introduced some bugs. I contacted support about a couple strange things I was experiencing...and got. A reply back within 4 hours. They are polite, helpful, and best of all dedicated to the app (unlike many developers who put out an app and never support it with bigfixes or improvements). They explained how ios 8 had caused new problems and what they were doing to fix it. Bugs happen, but the fast communication makes me feel confident in this developer. On a side note, they informed me that a new version with updated features was delayed to fix these ios 8 bugs, but is coming in the near future. Cant wait to see whats in store.

But can u please add right to left language support i write in the app and work fine but after export they come to left . Thanks

Wrote for two days on a detailed outline. App didnt save any of it.

The thing I like the most about this app is that it doesnt get in the way of the creative process. It has all the power and features of desktop applications, yet is simple enough to flesh out ideas on the go quickly and efficiently.

After working on a script for three or four weeks, the script has suddenly disappeared and I cant find it in my script history or anywhere. Please help.

This app is great because you get to write your own plays and scripts and you can add your favorite character... I strongly recommend this for playwriting

Great app to write any type of a script with. The only drawback is sometimes the opinions tabs dont fully open.
