Reviews
so many goddamn bugs
Night Surgeon
i am a big fan of the desktop version! i use it religiously! and since i like to write on the go sometimes, i downloaded the app. initially, i didn’t have many problems, but recently i’ve been having this issue where my script isn’t synced up to the desktop version — it’ll be missing random lines. another issue i’ve been having is that when i open the app, NOTHING WILL LOAD. it’ll just be stuck on a blank screen. i’ve tried deleting and redownloading the app, but it’s just not working. i’ve NEVER written a review for an app before, but this was bugging (haha) me so much i had to say something. PLEASE FIX THIS STUFF.
It’s okay.

The app has some bugs, it is a bit disappointing when it comes to features, but it is just what I expected.
Won’t Open

Whoever designed the phone app should be fired because it’s a joke. The loading circle taunts you by going through multiple animations for minutes before it finally opened for me. I finally started editing when the screen went blank and started refreshing again. Not long ago this app was amazing and provided seamless editing between devices, but it’s terrible now.
How do you print a script?

& where are exported files stored, like exported pdfs? Not showing in the WriterDuet folder for me. I’d contact support but didn’t find a support link in the help menu.
Trash
umuima
Do not use this app. It’s simply broken UNLESS you’re only writing with a constant wifi connection. Don’t even try taking this app offline or you will face insane bugs (copy and paste freezing the program) / exporting not available without wifi). The iOS app is a headache. Save yourself
Can’t Connect

I have a paid subscription and find that the website is the only thing that works with relatively few issues for me. Both the desktop app and the mobile app (I’m on an iPad) just don’t load. I can’t connect to the internet (so I can’t open any projects), it’s very frustrating as I know my connection is fine. I’ll probably switch to a different writing software once my subscription ends, I like WriterDuet but it’s not reliable.

This app needs work. Its utter trash. Just downloaded it and now its stuck loading.
WriterDuet is great, this App is Not
wasasuperfan
Constant crashes, trouble loading scripts, and moments of panic where everything seems to be deleted only to reappear 3 reloads later. The little I’m able to accomplish on this app does not make up for the constant frustration and anxiety of not being able to get words reliably on the document. 2 stars only because the website software is great and this app isn’t so bad that I’ll switch to Final Draft.
Great mobile port, but...

My biggest complaint is that I can’t switch sideways on my iPhone 12 pro ? Otherwise, this is nearly identical to the desktop version and works almost as well. There are a few bugs here and there that require an open and close of the app or reconnecting my profile. I have also not tried collaborative writing while on the phone. My friend uses his old ipad sometimes and it runs like a snail on that. Also worked poorly on my old iphone. Maybe it’s just a little too tough on the older cpu’s. Still, grateful to be able to work on the go and switch to laptop with ease! Thanks WriterDuet team!
