With some developer help 5 stars
I had some initial problems with the app not registering/recognizing aspects of my script but it turns out it was an issue with the .PDF file. Developer contacted me and helped fix it, and just like that the app worked as intended.DeanoSauruz

Dear Dean, thank you for your valuable feedback! We would love to fix the issue for you. I have replied to your feedback email you have sent us: if you could mail us a copy of the pdf file in question we will have a look and will help with the issue so that you can start rehearsing asap. We would love to see you becoming a happy Script Buddy user! Technical background: Scripts typically start with a title page that contains at least a title line. If there is no tile page Script Buddy should detect that and import the script without issues. You could add a tile page as first page to your pdf and it should import into Script Buddy correctly. Looking forward to helping you successfully importing your pdf script into Script Buddy.Immediately 2 stars
For a user friendly app its perfect, but importing my first .PDF file results in losing the first page. No clue why the app will not recognize that it’s missing a page but thats obviously an immediate delete.
Shame, because if it actually worked it would be perfect.Developer Response
