The app crashes when tapping some features.

When I tap a feature from the toolbar or from more menu, the app crashes. On reopening I just get a blank page. It gets fixed if I reinstall the app. Please check this issue.

Enjoying it!

Really enjoyed this implementation of fountain editing for scripts. It’s simple but powerful, easy to use, and flexible to keep access on desktop and the phone. I do most edits on the desktop and use the phone for on set reference to Check notes and make small updates.

I’ve been using GitHub to sync the changes, which mostly works. Wonder if other sync options would be implemented in the future, but so far it’s become an indispensable part of my workflow.

Lost all my work

I was enjoying this app, Until one day it stopped working and would crash every time I tried to open it, I tried updating, updating iOS and restarted my iPad several times until I had no choice but to delete the app and reinstall which deletes all the files I had made in the app and lost all my work, for a paid app this really sucks so beware and look elsewhere

Unusable - Constant Crashes

Crashes when I do basically anything. Hit return, try to add a title page, stare at the screen a little too long. Incredible shame, I literally just spent money on this and I can’t even use it.

crashes when i hit return

Utterly disappointed to discover the app is totally unusable. Any time I hit return, it crashes. If I select an autofill suggestion from the bottom row, it crashes. I am going to request my money back immediately. Caveat emptor.
