iPad Version is Nearly Unusable

I love the part where it sends my curser into orbit. It’s like a teleportation device within your document where you never know what page you’ll land on at any given moment. It’s giving prototype.

Deleted YEARS of Intellectual Property

will make sure you LOSE everything you kept in bins, scratch pad, attachments, assets or blocks of text, basically everything except the main writing window. Abysmal. Cannot fathom the loss by ‘upgrading’ to a pro app that is less pro than the former. The fact that an auto-duplicate save backup isn’t created when opening a native file in the new app is intolerable.

Newbie to Pro-ish

This app is made for new writers, it helps you get the swing of the correct format. It autocorrects when necessary, keeping you on the pro path till it’s natural. The energy is spent on writing, not format. As a result, more quality words on the page. Don’t think, get.

Slugline Problems

I was much more of a fan of Highland 2; there’s been lots of bugs with Highland Pro that support doesn’t seem to address or respond to my emails.

Best screenwriting app on the market

Again, it’s the best screenwriting app on the market.
