### 1/5 — Lame

*2026-08-02, version 7.3.4*

The fact that there are all these issues and the developers don’t have the balls to respond….. speaks VOLUMES!!!

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2026-07-25, version 7.3.4*

Keep getting an error message. Worked fine yesterday, now it doesn’t.

### 1/5 — WTF

*2026-07-22, version 7.3.3*

I was booted and can no longer sign- in even though I reset my password and it's say I'm free to explore. What is going on? I can't report that problem or contact anyone.

### 1/5 — The worst app!

*2026-07-12, version 7.3.3*

The app is full of glitches and it doesn’t work. Paying for an app that doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — $$$$$$$$$$

*2026-07-05, version 7.3.3*

This is my first app review. Thanks, Final Draft, for making me finally feel strongly enough about something to do this.

There was an app called FD mobile. It was free. You could access all of your screenplays and write them in the app, going seamlessly between the app and your computer.

Now, this is a paid service. Nope.

FD charges hundreds for new editions of the program that have marginal changes, and still lacks basic functionality that other, cheaper screenwriting software has (like the ability to add hyperlinks, which is a niche thing, but when you need it, you need it). 

Because everything else was expensive, FD Mobile as a free app made sense. It’s the least they could do, so I thought. 

Sure, it’s not that much money. But it’s more than no money, and it is the latest signal to me that FD has little care for the needs of its consumers. 

This is my villain origin story. I’m going to check out Highland.

### 1/5 — My script is gone.

*2026-07-05, version 7.3.3*

I used this app for scripting format, it was okay, there were many things I couldn’t do and I logged in on my phone and nothing transported. I opened the app to write and the script is literally gone. It is under no tabs, I’ve checked my files and Icloud and all my hard work and the story I loved is gone.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work on iPad

*2026-06-26, version 7.3.3*

And I can’t edit either….my FD account and IPad app all a mess

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-06-20, version 7.3.3*

I cannot start a script

### 5/5 — Stupid

*2026-06-18, version 7.3.3*

If the app isn’t free, then don’t list it as free. This is boneheaded marketing

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2026-06-16, version 7.3.3*

Well after purchasing this app two years ago - it didn’t work then. I forgot and bought it again. Surprise, it works less now.  No phone numbers at final draft these days. Less work more and more.
