## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Barely functional

*2024-11-05*

Can’t take notes

### 1/5 — PIA

*2023-01-21*

Clunkiest system ever! Won’t allow Touch ID. Logs you out after a very short time of inactivity. Can’t make private notes. When reading a script, I make notes about anything and everything that comes to mind without editing my thoughts and a lot of those thoughts are too stupid to share.

Scriptation is such a better tool for filmmakers!

### 1/5 — Can’t make an account!

*2022-05-17*

I’m trying to sign up to access my sides and it’s not working!!

### 1/5 — Awful for audition scripts

*2022-05-02*

I’ll second the review that said this app is an absolute inconvenience to actors who are auditioning. We need to share the script with a reader. I’d rather sign an NDA than deal with the hurdles of this app. It is such a headache!

### 1/5 — Solving a problem that didn’t exist

*2021-04-14*

I have less of an issue with the workings of this app than with its existence. When used for auditions it creates a series of headaches for actors. For example: you can only download sides once, on one device, and they self destruct after a set amount of time or if you try to capture them. But an audition requires two sets of sides, one for the actor and one for the reader. Every time I have to download this app I look forward to deleting it again.

### 1/5 — Horrible Support Still doesn’t work

*2021-03-28, version v6.671*

I can’t tell you about the app cause I can’t access it. When i reached out for help on how to use their APP by email all i got was short one sentence replies. I did finally find a phone number for them (310) 684-3968 which was hard to track down. It was then explained to me that they don’t give customer support. If your going to make a product that doesn’t work for everyone then you should be available to help those customers.

### 1/5 — The worst

*2019-07-14*

I only have 20 pages of a script left and this piece of garbage app crashes constantly.

### 1/5 — Mad that I had to give it one stare just to be able to rate it.

*2019-03-16*

This is a frustrating garbage app that ruined an interview for me because I couldn’t get the file sent to me to open. 
It took me at least a half hour just to open an account.

### 1/5 — :(

*2014-03-03*

I can't figure out how to actually write a script? This is bugging me because I really wanted to use this app. If anyone knows how to do this please explain. :(

### 1/5 — Privacy issue?

*2013-04-25*

Requires you to create an online account with them prior to launching. I deleted it immediately.  If they want to do this, guys... Make it a web app not a iOS app.

## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love the security

*2021-04-17*

I know on some people’s reviews they say they are frustrated with the app because files expire and get revoked about screen captures, but that’s the point of this app. As a sender I love it. I feel safe knowing my documents are secure.

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2020-09-30*

Overall great app for scripts and work.

### 3/5 — Ms.

*2011-12-07*

Do we need to create an account? Uh wondering I would like to use it looks good on the sample slides..
