Everything costs
Response from developer
You do get access to the app at no cost - you get basic outlining functionality. To give the entire app away at no cost would mean we can't pay the people who develop and maintain the app and that's not right. The cost is reasonable and helps the team stay in business and deliver content at no cost to our community every week via our website www.savethecat.com

Mr. iPodder, Please contact me at tech@blakesnyder.com. I'm happy to help figure out what could have happened. Haven't had reports of anything like that happening to anyone else.

Great Improvement Over Previous Version
Great tool but buggy software
I recommend getting the desktop version and then doing this to get the best of both worlds.
The layout for the mobile version is more asthetically pleasing than the desktop version which looks like something form windows 95.
Never the less, it’s nice to be able to work on the beats, boards etc and sync with final draft.
The issue is the software is buggy on both the desktop and mobile version.
I find that I have to rewrite a whole board due to the app crashing, or in some cases just not saving my work.
Another issue with the board in the mobile version is that it’s not actually a board! Instead the board in on the side with all the detail on the other side taking up most of the space.
Would be a better user experience all round if it was and actual board that you could look at fully. Pinch in and out to zoom in and out etc and then you can click and enter that particular board and add all the details.
Definitely feels like they missed a trick here. The idea of a board is a tactil experience, just like on a tablet.
Hopefully this gets fixed, otherwise, great app for what it does.
Issues for Apple computer users
Response from developer
Hi ninjagirl808, I'm trying to remember what issues you ran into. Did you have an older version of macOS? If so, I was able to set up a virtual machine and compile STC for the older versions of macOS which seemed to solve some of the problems other customers were having on older versions. This was fairly recently so not sure if you had a chance to try it or not. https://stccompany.azurewebsites.net/MacDownload.aspx Try the Mojave and before option.
Improved app and promo code to migrate from older version
I contacted the customer service and they provided me a promo code to migrate over to the essential version at no additional cost.
They even helped me with the technicalities of the process.
Highly satisfied.
You need to manually save like a desktop 15 years ago
Every time I’ve ever had my iPad run out of juice, I go plug it in and open it back up and everything is exactly where it was when the iPad ran out of battery.
But this app... I just wrote 2 whole scenes when my iPad died on me. Go get it plugged in and open it back up... and the app started back at the beginning. I selected my project and everything I’d worked on was gone. Two whole scenes. It doesn’t back up like Google Docs, you have to keep interrupting yourself to remember to hit save like I’m typing in WordPerfect on my mom’s IBM back in the day, apparently.
Great but please add Scrivner Export
App does download on my Mac
Response from developer
The desktop version is available for purchase from our website. There is no need to pay twice as the app is included at no additional cost with the desktop subscription.
