I use it on both iOS and Mac … Mac version needs work

I’m constantly renaming the file because it constantly changes back to Untitled. Today it stopped saving. You guys really have to thoroughly test this. There’s no reason to miss this kind of functionality.

Best app and script writing ever!

I had to wish that of screenwriting app, and it looks so rad! I will continue to writing something of script for movie, and I will give 5 stars. Highly recommended!

there are way better free options

Always thankful for more options in the Fountain screenwriting space, but this barey even functions. There’s no way to literally SAVE A NEW FILE to a folder on your computer. There’s no autocomplete of characters, so you can enjoy typing those names over and over again. And somehow the document isn’t even in Courier, which is 100% the industry standard. Hard pass in a world where you can use the full-featured (and frequently updated) Fountain editor Beat completely for free.
