Being forced to transition to FD Go
So I’ve been using Final Draft Mobile for forever. I was fine keeping with that. But this “black screen bug” is now keeping me from updating FD proper on the computer because if i do it will break Final Draft Mobile.
I get the business move behind moving to a subscription service. But not patching a known issue with an app people paid for and can still use, hence forcing me into FD Go, is disappointing. My choices are 1. Update my desktop version and stop using an app i paid for and pay FD 10$ a year (which is not bad at all mind you) forever. Or 2. Keep using my old app and never get any new builds on FD main. Either way i take an “L”. A cheap “L” but a big one in principle.
At the very least give those of us who supported your early mobile efforts a free sub for Go. Lead us to water man. Give us a year or two to fall in love with Go then you will have excited new users. Not bitter old fans.
Meh… guess I’m off to spend 10$ to keep using a thing i already own. Capitalism right? 🤑

Saving on the cloud is poor
I just lost multiple pages because it didn’t save my recent draft. Instead it wrote over the older draft when trying to load it on my phone.

Subject: Keyboard not appearing on iOS/iPadOS when using Arabic languageMessage:Hello Final Draft Support Team,I am experiencing a critical bug in the Final Draft Go app on iOS. The software keyboard completely fails to appear when trying to type or edit text in Arabic.I have tried all standard troubleshooting steps: I do not have any external Bluetooth keyboards connected, I am not in Reader Mode, and I have reinstalled the app multiple times, but the keyboard still won't show up. The app seems to have a compatibility issue with the Arabic input system.Please look into this bug and fix it in the next update, as it prevents Arabic screenwriters from using your app on mobile devices.Thank you

the best writing software
i wish they put a little more work on making the phone version as good as the computer version. There’s a small bug where when u start writing a character name and it fills it in for u if u press enter then the portion u didn’t write goes down to the line below. Bold, and italics should also just hang above the keyboard always. Along with parenthetical. The storage is also not the best, in terms of getting locked out. It should be easier to save. but it is the software we need

Not Much Choice
UPDATE: This app is nearly completely defective. It's just locked up on me, effectively ending the fourth writing session within three days. PREVIOUS REVIEW: It's nice to be able to write and sync FD scripts between my iPad and MacBook, but there are serious UI problems. Simple tasks like lasso-selecting lines of text and scrolling through pages can cause the interface to go haywire, making the writing/ editing process much less efficient and smooth than it should be. I would not be using this if I weren't an already-established FD user prior to buying it.

Dreadful app
Such a rubbish app.
Unusable: Got a refund
The text randomly scrolls, making you loose the place where you were working. I contacted FD and they were unable to help me fix this, so I submitted for a refund. I wish the FD Mobile version still worked, but when I open a script in that app, the page is all black.
Obviously
How about you don’t make stuff pop up in the middle of the app while the person using it is trying to work asking for a review.
Awful and scammy
Why on earth should I have to pay to use this mediocre app after spending a load of money on the desktop version? I would not mind a small one-off payment but I hate this subscription model. Honestly just disappointing as I love the desktop version. No reason to use this app whatsoever
Great App
Does almost everything you want from Final draft. It would be good if it could sync auto with the cloud version. Hopefully in next version.
Final Draft Mobile Gone
I want to use final draft that I already had on my device and it’s not there anymore. So I searched the App Store and now they have final draft go and you have to pay for it now when I already have paid for final draft on my desktop. The thing that always bothered me about the app in the first place was that it didn’t sync with anything to do with the desktop so you couldn’t write on the go. Maybe this new version is better but I guess I’ll never know. Goodbye final drought.

Absolutely amazing!
Terrible app. Impossible to log back in.
I logged out by accident, I had to change my password 40 times and it still would tell me my password is incorrect. Never get this app.
Not sure why
It’s not allowing me to paste from my notes to my script
Lame
The fact that there are all these issues and the developers don’t have the balls to respond….. speaks VOLUMES!!!
Can’t log in
Keep getting an error message. Worked fine yesterday, now it doesn’t.
WTF
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.
The worst app!
The app is full of glitches and it doesn’t work. Paying for an app that doesn’t work.
