Please work on the app
I use to love writerduet on my PC but the app is soooo annoying on my ipad! There is so much bug with it. Please consider the fact that some people are actually paying for this app and expect an app that works well... it’s not just one or two thing, it’s a mess of problems!Francislacelle
Great product, imperfect app
I switched from Final Draft to WD a few months ago and will never look back. The desktop and web apps work great for me and I like having easy phone/iPad access to all my scripts. But you need to be careful when editing in the mobile app. The autocorrect is extremely screwy and can mangle your words. I wrote “him” and it turned it to “h I’m”. Just watch out for that and don’t use this version of the app as your main writing tool and it’s fine.Show lessstereohead
Needs on-device functionality
This is certainly the best app that I have used, particularly for doing documentaries with the multi-column format.
But for those of us who have slow internet connections, the reactivity to commands can be both inordinately time consuming and fraught with inadvertent error, particularly if doing a cut-and-paste.
So a version that works fully remotely, with on-device save, would be much better, even although it will obviously be a larger app.Show lessTofoa felix
No response for support messages
I lost a load of data in an upgrade which made the desktop app worse, and no one will reply to my messages to support email.LouisMatijo
Very buggy typing
I absolutely love the website and the service you provide, but this app is so buggy when typing. It adds random spaces before words that very clearly don’t need them, often in the middle of sentences (or in the middle of words if you’re going back to correct a misspelled word).
Please fix this because it’s infuriating to spend 30 seconds fixing temperamental spacing every few words.Show lessbenpicko
Barely functional
Since switching to an iPad to handle most of my productivity tasks, I’m starting to regret having spent the money on WriterDuet’s full version. This app does NOT meet the standards of a ~$100 product. Most of the time, it won’t connect to the internet. When it is connected and I am writing, there are dozens of frustrating little glitches and bugs when doing very simple, basic tasks, like creating new scene headers or switching between dialogue and action text. The bluetooth keyboard support is laughable and horrifically confusing. I want to support WriterDuet, and the desktop version works brilliantly (so I’ll probably use the service on Safari instead though that approach is not without its issues.) But come on, guys.Show lesslawsonfound
App not syncing with macbook
I'm not happy that ever since I updated the app on my iphone 6, it's no longer syncing with the online version. This is a problem as I've recently gotten in a very comfortable writing groove, and this slows down my productivity. I've been paying for service for a while but now I may switch to Celtix.Show lessbsbsbwkqndv
Locked on the Email Update and won’t open
Upon opening the app it goes directly to an “Email Update” WriterDuet requires a user's email address for many of its features to work properly.
When entering valid emails I get an Update Email Error and it tells me to log in again before trying request.... over and over again. I cannot log in because I cannot get past the screen.Show lessYama Yaka Yama
Beyond Disappointed in What is a Very Promising App
It gives me great sadness to have to dump WriterDuet after finding out issues regarding incompatibilities with the iPad pro. I just lost 80 pages of a substantial rewrite because of the company’s lack of communication regarding known issues and I can’t trust this software with things I pour my heart and soul into.
Free or not, it’s just not worth the heartbreak.
Extremely sad for the company and all my hard work.
Unfortunately I will have to switch back to Final Draft because Fade In doesn’t have an ipad version.Show lessjimhensoninla
A buggy program that traps your script behind a paywall.
There is no option to export to PDF without upgrading to pro, so your only option is to convince those you want to share it with to download the buggy app as well. I then decided to see the price of the pro version (apparently you can save $40 so this already doesn’t bode well), oh look at this, I can’t do that at this time...so how can I share the screenplay I just spent time writing? Why select all, copy and paste into a better program of course, then spend time reformatting that block of text.
And that’s after writing in a program that tries to auto-correct ‘tall’ to ‘y’all’ yet doesn’t catch obvious spelling mistakes. Don’t get this program there are better ones by established developers who know what they’re doing.Show lessKamron Archer
