So so useful!

Structuring a project is incredibly hard, but using the patented Save the Cat outline, here you have a great tool to break things down and think about keep structural elements that need to land within any project.

Why does it require personal info?

Most likely a scam used to collect and sell private and personal data. Do not give them any info

Is there a legitimate reason for no Core i3 support?

I write on the go, so my goal was to sync my work on my mobile with my MacBook. But unfortunately ‘STC’ is unable accomplish what Final Draft does just fine. Had I known beforehand I won’t have purchased. That’s a shame.

Response from developer

Issue

The app is e excellent , but mi creativity grow in Spanish can you make this app with a configuration In Spanish please and thank sorry for bothering

Buggy and difficult to use

I tried this because the final draft app straight up didn’t work. This crashes a lot every 10-15 minutes, the interface is clunky, items that are in the tutorials are not there for formatting. It’s not very good, glad i only got there monthly sub, and i can cancel

Distressed

I have been a StC user for a while with no problem. But am confused and distressed that my iPad version won’t / can’t upload to my PRo laptop version. I have just started a new project on my iPad and am distressed that I might lose it or have to re type it all on my desktop to continue working and changes won’t be saved. My iPad version has gone back to bear basic beta testing mode. I can’t see or change my account password to make sure they both link but afraid to log out in case I can’t get back in. Help.I love the app etc normally but am afraid of the cat right now and pulling my fur out! I tried to reinstall via website but it says app is not available in my country or region 😳What’s going on. Help…

Monthly Subscription Option?

Why no monthly subscription option or trail period to test drive the app?

Response from developer

We recently created monthly subscriptions!

Marvelous Tool!

This is the sort of application any novelist may hope for (along with the book, Saves the Cat Writes a Novel). Personally, this was the very tool I was hoping to find after reading the corresponding book!

It is simple, sure, albeit this is one of those instances in which simple is all that is necessary, for such a tool will make sure all of the needed components are there, so that you can create a compelling story: how to ensure you capture & keep the attention of your readers is found within these tried-and-true blueprints.

…If one is unfamiliar with story formulas, described in Saves the Cat Writes a Novel, this app may not seem helpful. Thereby it is best to either read the book first, or research what each ingredient is independently (& understand it) before proceeding to utilize this application as an outlining tool for your story.

So appreciative of both of these tools; they are essential to all writers who’d like to know the winning recipe for a wonderful & impactful story.

Thank you Saves the Cat team!

The Best

Between Save the Cat and Scrivener, writing would be harder.

OK so far; needs a minor QoL update

Really enjoying and appreciating this app so far, as I'm a total newb to screenwriting. I'd love to be able to increase the font size so that I can actually see what I'm typing, though! Please consider!
