FRUSTRATING! WON'T NUMBER AND COPY-PASTE!

Chadijah

For ten bucks, I expected a LOT more from this app. But it cannot even number your scenes! You don't know how many pages you've 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 doesn't 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 won't keep its formatting. Hell, even if you copy-paste in the same document, like moving up some scenes to another page, it won't keep the scenes' original format, so you have to do the formatting all over again. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!

Best Screenwriting App!

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!

I'm Impressed

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

Almost perfect

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

Pretty good

I only have a few complaints. Copy/paste could use work. It puts everything into the same format, whether it's dialogue or scene description. Also, it always put a "&" before the pasted section, and ";nbsp" or something like that at the end. Also, while it's great that it remembers character names in the character format, it should also suggest them in the action format, so I don't have to capitalize and write a name every time someone does something.

Refund

Just downloaded it, paid 10$ and it doesn't import PDFs, txt, nor docx. I'm contacting Apple and getting a refund for this piece of crap. Don't waste your time.

Lost script

MisterScott

Absolutely unacceptable for a paid app like this. I just wrote a script, saved it, and the script is nowhere to be found. I looked everywhere on the app and it's gone. I was able to find an older version of the script and some old ones I've written, but one of the old ones is corrupt for no reason other than the app being terrible. I am so disappointed. Wrote a script start to finish, only to have it deleted by the apps inability to save properly.

Some bugs here and there. Not meant for long scripts.

ActiveMatx

This software is almost okay for being a short (less than 10 pages) screenwriting software. Anything more than that and it lacks features and it's slower to type on. It's very pretty though. But otherwise it has issues exporting to pdf sometimes. You can't just tab or return to automatically add character names and you must hit the dialogue box after hitting return after a character name.

The app deleted a script I wrote. I can't find the script. I saved it tried going back to it and the entire thing was gone.... Don't get this app.

Worthless NO DROPBOX IMPORT

I used to love this app now I can neither import or export my files from dropbox making it nearly worthless to me. I will continue to leave negative reviews daily until this is fixed.
