Scripts Pro - Screenwriting on the Go App Reviews

I wrote 4 scripts with this app last year and I loved it. I even recommended to colleges. I updated it and now my scripts are gone. Luckily i backed them up. I found them, open them, can edit them, but cant save them. Now I love this app when it saved and I gave it one star because whats the point of the app if you cant save.

I have wasted so much time trying to get this app to work on my ipad. I mean hours. The problem is it does not save your work. So be very aware of that!!! You may spend time writing to find out you wasted your thoughts and time. I have contacted them and they have suggested several solutions but none have enabled the program to work like any other normal program works. namely being able to SAVE???? What bozos would develop a program that cant save your work???? For some stupid reason theyve designed this so you have to be connected to icloud for it to save. As stupid as that is, it still does not save even when I am icloud enabled and connected to the internet. I have asked for my money back. If they are honest folks they will promptly return my money. If only they could return to me the hours wasted on this joke.

After the latest update, when I export my screenplays in .pdf format, they get double numbered on each page. One in the correct formatting, the other on the opposite side for no reason at all. Its rather annoying and unprofessional.

Has the saving issue been fixed?

Embarrasses FinalDraft. Great UI. Couldnt recommend enough for a mobile screenplay software.

Perfect screenwriting app for my screenwriting on the go needs. Also love the ability to export what I have done to the fountain format to continue writing on my desktop. Keep up the great work!

For ten bucks, I expected a LOT more from this app. But it cannot even number your scenes! You dont know how many pages youve written unless you go on the preview mode. And, as all scriptwriters know, we do a lot of rewrites on our scripts, but this app doesnt allow you to copy-paste parts of your document into another file. If you copy some scenes, for example, and paste it into a new file, it would scramble up. It wont keep its formatting. Hell, even if you copy-paste in the same document, like moving up some scenes to another page, it wont keep the scenes original format, so you have to do the formatting all over again. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!

I love this app! Clean, uncluttered, beautiful UI. Love the navigation/insertion icons and ability to see numbered Scenes and hop to any with 1 click (screen #s are not on script b/c this app is targeted to spec/submission scripts). It is the ONLY app that does not have iCloud automatic sync issues!! Only App that saves and syncs Final Draft & Celtx & Fountain files without crashing! Has import from history option – just in case in delirium I mess up what was a great script and want to go back in time and get earlier script version. Future app requests: ‘index card’ look/sorting; script info (# words,etc.). But – can’t emphasize enough that this app WORKS GREAT and LOOKS GREAT. Well done Scripts Pro!

Being a complete novice at formatting a script, this has come in very handy.

Wish it would keep formatting when copy/paste. Other than that its perfect... Really like a 4.5
