love the app. i would choose laptop over phone/tablet to write any day but this has everything you need to review work and make quick edits. definitely handy when you don’t have the computer with you. works seamlessly with Final Draft. for the past couple of weeks though i keep getting an error when i try to import scripts from dropbox. “Connection error. The connection to drop box timed out, please try again later” otherwise this app is a 5 easy.
Shame

Was my all time favorite screenwriting app. They haven’t updated this in a log time and it’s now impossible to use drop box with it and the customer service no longer replies. I think this app is dead. Shame. Guess it’s time to look for something that is working.
TOO MANY BUGS

While the app does provide a very pretty interface, particularly in terms of the visual association with scripts, the issues outnumber the benefits. Biggest of them is isolated backing up where all your scripts disappear in the app for whatever reason and randomly reappear whenever because they'll be 'backing up' to iCloud but even if this feature is switched off, it still has this issue when creating your 'script history'.
5 years after my initial review, the developer hasn't added a few key features

Scripts Pro is by and large a great substitute for Final Draft on my iPad, and it makes your script look really sexy too. One big feature that's missing is the ability to navigate by page numbers in edit mode. Page numbering is only available in a preview mode, while editing mode essentially presents an unbroken continuously scrolling script. As the app makers must know, screenplay structure relies heavily on act breaks and midpoints falling around familiar page lengths, in both TV and film. But when I need to return to that scene on page 48, scrolling is tedious, and it's hard to use the scene navigator -- spec scripts aren't numbered, so trying to remember the scene number is like asking someone to find a penny that was thrown in the ocean an hour ago. So a page navigator would be great. Input the page number, and jump to that scene in the editor. Or from preview mode, double tap a slugline to jump to it in the editor. Can't wait until these features are added and then I can give this app 5 stars instead of 4! Edit: I posted this review 5 years ago and unfortunately the features I requested above have not been added, so I'm downgrading my rating to 2 stars for lack of developer responsiveness. Regardless, I have another feature request: a way to copy/paste chunks of a script containing multiple scene elements (sluglines, dialogue, action, etc.) without losing the formatting.
Just The Tiniest Of Problems

A warning to those downloading this in the future—access your scripts regularly. If you leave it alone for long stretches of time, you risk losing it in the next attempt to edit it. This has happened to me way too often.
