Beware, if you dont want to lose your writing

The cloud feature of this app is terrible. I just lost a few scenes because an older version of the screenplay in the iPhone "updated" the newer version in my iPad. Terribly disappointed. Consider other apps.

Fortunately...

You can see a document history in the online version of the app, and recover "lost" versions.

Ok

Orders scripts completely randomly, no search bar, makes everything impossible to find. No star or favorite function either, which would help that problem.

The latest version keeps crashing at login!

Why did they need to update this app when the previous version worked just fine! If its not broken, they should leave it alone!

Love love love

Ive used the web version of this app and sometimes I need to make a quick edit and the web version isnt very mobile friendly so this was perfect. Opened smoothly, smooth editing. Love love love! The app orders it by last edited, so if you dont understand how to sort things by date, then youre screwed.

Not ready for Prime Time - Alpha software at best

Sync Collisions produce data loss. Try editing the same screenplay on two devices. Which will win? This is like a google doc where many edits disappear with no ability to grab the missing data for restore. There has to be some other way to make the Google Docs of Screenwriting. It is too bad Movie Magic Screenwriter doesnt do this.

Easy and fun, yet...

There are still a bunch of bugs that need to be figured out, such as E-Mailing as text. But the apps biggest downfall is not having Split View enabled. As a writer, it would be far more easier to have the ability to write, and look at a bit of research, or an earlier version of a script, side-by-side instead of having to scroll through windows.

Good App!!! But for some reason...

I like the app! Its good for me to write my scripts on the go and at home. But for some reason I cant send/e-mail my scripts as pdf files. Can you guys fix that? Thats my only issue. All in all, good app.

GOOD, But not compatible with FOUNTAIN Files

Cant send

Emailing in PDF format doesnt work.

Bugs

Quits out every few seconds. Extremely difficult to use. Too many bugs and no fixes.

App keeps crashing

I just downloaded the update for this app on my iPad and whenever I start to edit a script it crashes on me and I have to start over again. Please fix this bug asap.

Good when short on time and budget

This app works good for what I wanted. My client also appreciated it when working across the country. I was able to quickly pound out a script on the go. I appreciate that kind of speed when working with borrowed time. There are a few things that could help make it perfect, but considering its free and this useful I cant complain

Was doing good til now.

App crashes a few seconds after I open a script. Please fix.

Not iPad Pro Optimized

Needs iPad Pro optimization.

Awesome app

Page loads itself and auto undo my work! This is a bug! When I use the app, typing my script and itll automatically undo my previous work. Screen would go blank quick then auto undo. Bug!!

DO NOT DOWNLOAD. You WILL lose your work

Not once but TWICE I lost a large amount of material due to syncing issues between the app and what I did on my laptop. I use celtx regularly and the idea of being able to work on the go is enticing but in this case not worth it. On the laptop work automatically saves. On the app it is supposed to but if you arent careful and you then refresh on PC or another device you will lose whatever you did. NOT WORTH THE HEADACHES! Never again!

Terrible

This is the worst app! I lost a lot of work due to syncing issues. Not worth it!

Nope

I have been using Celtx since about 2012, and really wanted to like this app. I decided to download it for convenience of making tweaks and notes on my phone, directly into the script as I thought of things instead of waiting until I got home. I downloaded, signed in, could see titles of my dozens of scripts, and the app just closed. I opened it again. 5 seconds...closed. About 10 tries and it will not stay open for more than 5 seconds after logging in. iPhone 6 iOS 9.3

Simple

Simple to use but it takes a while to realize what does what. The website version is better but the app is good.
