Dreadful app
Such a rubbish app.
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.

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.
$$$$$$$$$$
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.

My script is gone.
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.

Doesn’t work on iPad
And I can’t edit either….my FD account and IPad app all a mess
Trash
I cannot start a script
Stupid
If the app isn’t free, then don’t list it as free. This is boneheaded marketing
It doesn’t work
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.
Too glitchy to be charging people
This is app is way too glitchy for them to be charging people. Like fix it. Dragging to cursor to highlight text never works properly and often times it oddly quits the app. Final draft is too high caliber of a brand to have half baked software like this. Its insulting to be charged for software like this. Especially when youre forced to upgrade from the previous iOS app. Fix it.

Beware!
Just so you know, if your subscription expires, you won’t be able to open the scripts you have already created.
Purchase failed
Purchage failed again n again
Need to fix the crashes
Wanted to like it but it kept crashing every time I would go to highlight text. After having it crash this way, multiple times over the course of my first hour, became a moment of instant regret purchasing the year outright. Lesson learned.
Bugs make it unusable. BEWARE
Everything was great until I hit about the 85 page mark, then suddenly the page started jumping like the scrolling was glitching. The cursor now jumps up or down two lines randomly. Googled and found this is a known issue with “longer” scripts (85 pages, really??) in FD Go and they have not bothered to fixed it. So FD is unusable.
How you expect to stay the “industry standard” with this kind of apathetic approach is wild. There are alternatives to FD, so keep looking!

Disappointed
Buggy. Not intuitive. I don’t think I could be less impressed.
