Leave a Review WriterDuet
Simply the Best
I'm a lifetime pro member and have been for about a year and I still can't believe the depth and quality of this software even after more than a year of using the desktop version. Everything just makes sense and the feature set is richer and more consistent and dependable than FD or MovieMagic, which I used to think got a bad rap simply for not being called Final Draft. But this blows that out of the water too, both the desktop of MM, and the Final Draft desktop software and now their app as well (which they charge you separately for!).
But it makes no difference anymore, to me this is the only game in town. The support is second to none (once thought I lost something and they were on it immediately), and the probably the best thing I can say is that when you need the software and more complex features, it's all there, and when you don't need them, the software gets out of the way so you can simply write.Show lessFrank 229
Best of the best
This is seriously the best screenwriting software on the market (and I've tried, and own, them all). I don't care if Final Draft is the industry standard. WriterDuet is so much more intuitive and a joy to use if collaborating or even just using multiple machines/devices. And, it can import and export Final Draft files, so they've got you covered. I'll never go back. I wish this team behind this wonderful software many, many years of success. They deserve it!Show lessJerbecca
Good idea, very buggy
I've tried using their web app before and it worked okay but ultimately an app is more convenient. After writing the first four pages of a script I exited it only to find out it hadn't saved my progress! After REWRITING from memory, it began to shuffle my scene headings around; action lines turned into dialogue, characters became shots, etc, at random. After all of this, I tried to simply export my script as a PDF so I could start over on a different software and..."ERROR SENDING EMAIL!" I tried both the web and mobile app to export by email and neither worked. So I guess my script is stuck in their vacuum. It's too bad, it's a really solid idea :(Show lessJo_D_C
Best Screenwriting App
This is by far the best screenwriting app to appear on the iStore to date. I've tried many, including the big names, and none come as close to the experience of a PC based software as this one. The best feature is the ability to share the script between the iPad, the online WriterDuet site and my laptop's desktop app - no need to upload it anywhere, save it to a third party site - it's all self contained. Excellent.Show lessSenbazuru
I'm a Fan
This app is pretty new so maybe Im just an early adopter... but after a week of working with the desktop version I was sold.
Upgraded to Pro for one year, plan to go lifetime if it becomes my go to app for writing over fdx which at this point i think it will.
This is google docs for screenwriters, but its a lot more than that. The UI is clean. The format key commands (which mirror fdx) integrate into the on-line script is really intuitive. The digital page itself feels more pulpy to me than final draft somehow, not sure why but I feel more like I am typing onto a real page. So i like the base level interface. But then on top of that its got a bunch of helpful features...
Organization. I no longer have to worry about whos working with what version, did I email my collaborator the right file, or accidentally open an earlier saved version of a script that now has some changes in it but is missing others...
Communication. Multiple modes for secure messaging, sharing notes, integrating external links for references or research, it all works.
Collaboration. I like how it presents any changes made by my collaborator to me in red then lets them fade to black so they integrate into the whole. Thats just one example of how it helps make the collaboration process smoother.
Class. From the tone if the developer's emails to the look of the UI, it feels like you're dealing with talented professionals.
Well done and please keep up the good work!

Very happy
I signed up for the online service just so I could collaborate with other people in a very simple project. I didn't have high expectations but they were quickly exceeded. It really works well. Thrilled to discover this native app which improves the iOS experience enormously. I haven't been back to my 'real' screenwriting software in over a year. Syncing/collaborating just works, but there are plenty of offline backups in case of mishap.Show lessMaWo360
Basic but good at what it does
This is, alongside Celtx, my go to screen writing software and I love it. Yes it's basic, and it's feature list could be written on the back of a stamp but that makes it extremely easy to use and allows you, the writer, to get on with laying down your scenes without having to worry about how to switch to a transition or dialogue etc.
It may not be for all, but what is, personally though I love it and highly recommend it to any beginner screenwriters or even more advanced users looking for a basic screenwriting program that is both browser based (making use while travelling or away from the office a breeze) and available as desktop software for PC and Mac and (although I haven't used it yet - I'm literally downloading the app while writing this review) as an app for iOS. Give it a go, it's free (browser version - a pro upgrade via a monthly or annual subscription is required for the desktop versions).Show lessWesFazzani
