I hate this app

I’m writing a show on my iPad this app keeps changing the dialogue text to the character block and I know I can easily fix that but it won’t let me go to the menu or do anything at all I’m just stuck writing nothing this whole time I’m just gonna stick to google doc

Response from developer

I'm really sorry Scenarist got in the way of your writing — that's the opposite of what it's for, and thank you for telling me exactly what happened. You found a real bug. On the on-screen keyboard, Return was adding a line break inside the current block instead of starting the next one, so dialogue ended up inside the character block. On top of that, the element buttons above the keyboard added a new block instead of fixing the current one, which made it feel like there was no way out. The latest update fixes all of it: • Return now moves you to the next element (Character → Dialogue → Character) like it should • The element buttons above the keyboard change the block you're in • With a keyboard attached, ⌘1–⌘6 set the element type and Tab cycles it If part of your show still has dialogue stuck inside character blocks, email me at support@scenaristapp.com and I'll help you sort it out. I'd love for you to give it another try. — Nik, Scenarist developer

Life changer

I’m new in screenwriting. This app helps me write more professionally and helps with all technicalities I don’t know yet. Really grateful. Thinking about getting a lifetime before it goes up in price. Too good of a deal to miss

Love it

Great app for all scripts needs! Autocomplete thing is awesome! All the stuff in it is great!

Best app for professional screenwriting

Didn’t know how much I needed it. It’s such a helpful resource. I now spend less time on my scripts. Everything is well organized now and easy to work with. Pro tools are awesome. Subscription is totally worth it. So happy. Huge thank you to developer
