Best Screenwriting App To Date!!
And believe me, I literally tried every app on the Apple Store, including Final Draft GO and Arc Studio. Nothing beats this, no thinking about formatting or planning, just write your movie and get it out there!! 10/10 👍👍
Beyond useless
It would be easier to scrawl on a wet piece of glass with cooked spaghetti
Unreliable
The app crashes every time I try to start a new project.
Crashes every time I create a new screenplay
As others have reported, Slugline is currently broken. Whenever I try to create a new screenplay, whether local or in iCloud, the app immediately crashes. I used to adore this app, but now I’m just disappointed.
And I thought FD Mobile was a pain
Read raving reviews. Tried it for $19+ and it’s terrible. Not intuitive. Trying to hit return to get into the next correctly formatted section required backtracking. Not a seamless writing experience and I’ve been writing screenplays for a long time and have used almost all the mainstream software.
Love the app but it’s broken for me
For whatever reason the app crashes whenever I try to make a new file and is therefore unusable. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail and switching between local/cloud storage.
So far nothing works, but if the issue is resolved I’ll happily change my review to 5 stars.

File management could be better
I noticed the app sometimes does not sync your changes to the original file, and instead creates a separate copy of it. This then causes multiple versions of the same script to pile up in the recents section, while I really just need to maintain one version of it.
Overall, the app is better than most I’ve seen for screenwriting on phone, just hope this one aspect can also be improved.

Crashing several times an hour
I enjoy the app’s simplicity and functionality. What I don’t enjoy is how the app crashes four to five times every hour. It autosaves frequently, so a crash only deletes the latest piece (either one chunk of dialogue or description) but it’s still annoying.
Love it
I have been screenwriting on my iPad much more lately, and I've found this to be a really great app for distraction-free writing. There's very little on the page, other than your own work. It's also a very user-friendly, intuitive way to learn the ins and outs of writing in Fountain (which is simple on its own). I also love that it doesn't require a subscription.

Perfect for screenwriting on an iPad
This app is simple and intuitive and perfect for screenwriting without any distractions. It's helped me pick up writing in Fountain quite quickly. I appreciate the few templates that come with it, too, more as an example of how to incorporate "hidden" text within your writing.
