Tricked

I was using this app for around 2-3 years. Suddenly when trying to use it again it locks all my scripts behind a paywall with no warning. So now I’m forced to pay some money in order to gain access to my scripts again, awsome 😐.

Svp

Très bonne application et très pratique mais il faut impérativement une correction de bug.
Notamment sur les sauvegardes, merci :)

DO NOT DOWNLOAD

It’s basically pay to create. They want 0.99 for a character creator, and ANOTHER 0.99 for a scene builder?!? Never again. But I will say the overall creativity of the app (description wise) is fun.

I know 0.99 isn’t a lot, but you can’t do practically anything!

Great value. But doesn’t work

This app doesn’t save anything except Acts and Characters. No point if you cant’ add any Scenes!

Please fix the main functionality!

Worthless

Shuts down all the time. You lose so much content after the app freezes. DONT DOWNLOAD! It’s garbage.

기능은 좋지만 번역때문에 쓰기가 힘듭니다

한국어 지원처럼 보이는 앱이지만, 실제로는 screenplay와 전혀 다른 용어가 들어가 있어서 의미를 해석하기가 어렵습니다. 차라리 영어로 언어 설정을 변경 가능하면 좋을 것 같습니다. 이 앱의 기능 자체는 훌륭하나 번역 문제 때문에 아쉽네요.

Absolutely not good!!! 🤬😡🤬☠️☠️

It’s purchases are absolutely worth 100% madness! They should remove all of the purchases so everything can be free! I… Hate… Them!

Crashes a lot

I paid for it. Seems like a handy app for sketching out ideas, but it gets locked up often, freezes, and crashes. Really wish it didn’t do that. Lol. It does it kind of a lot.

Not saving

This app is so frustrating to use it does not save your updated files even though it CLEARLY says saved. I’ve lost countless hours of work and I’m so sick of it. Fix the app. It’s sad that I even had to pay for this.

Don’t waste time losing your ideas.

What’s the worst thing a script app could do? Yup, not save after you clicked save. Also charges to open simple features.

So close…

This has the capacity to be one of the best screenwriting apps available. It asks all of the important questions for a writer to build their story and characters.

However, you’ve gotta fix the bugs. It’s so frustrating typing out an entire section and hitting Save every time for safety, only to find that the app has deleted practically all of it.

Seriously, fix the save function and I’ll be happy to give it five stars, it really is that good.

Bonne idée, réalisation catastrophique

Je modifie mon avis et ma note après avoir continué à utiliser cette application.

L’export est une calamité. On ne peut que générer un pdf reprenant les informations qu’on a entrées (on aurait aimé du Markdown ou de l’OPML).

Mais surtout, le contenu des scènes n’est pas exporté ! On se retrouve avec un document qui indique simplement « Act 1 scènes, Acte 2 scènes » à la fin du récapitulatif des informations.

Avis d’origine :

L’application est vraiment utile et apporte une grande aide à l’écriture d’un script. Même si elle est particulièrement orientée vers l’écriture cinématographique, elle reste très utilisable pour l’écriture théâtrale ou romanesque.

La liste des questions oblige à s’interroger vraiment sur son scénario et pousse votre réflexion et votre créativité, c’est très bien, merci.

Par contre, la programmation est un cauchemar ! Déjà, il est évident que l’application était originellement en anglais et qu’elle a été traduite par un sagouin… Un seul exemple : à l’enregistrement « Saving » a été traduit par « Economies » !

Mais l’autre vrai problème est le manque de stabilité. Il arrive très souvent qu’une fiche remplie à grand peine (contenu de la scène, avancement du scénario, extraits de dialogues) ne soit pas sauvegardée ! Au final, j’ai l’impression d’avoir payé pour obtenir les éléments d’un template que j’appliquerai dans une vraie app d’écriture comme Scrivener ou Ulysses. Dommage.

It’s great!

It’s an awesome app! One thing I’d change is the pricing for the characters and scenes. I’m not really going to waste my money on buying these stuff. I was wondering if the characters and scenes could be for free?

I get that it’s for money and all, but I don’t think it’s really worth it. Like, it says it’s for $0.99 but when I buy it, it says $1.49 or something.

It’s a great app for preparing scenes and scenarios for YouTube and in real life skits. But I just think the characters and scenes should be for free.

Thanks.

App isn’t saving

Hours of writing, hit the save button and return later and it doesn’t save. Multiple times now. Very frustrating. Don’t bother buying the ad ones

Wont let me save

I’ve paid for things in this app and everytime I try to save something it’s not letting me save but it took my money ….this is a very dope app

Please fix

Deleted my work!

So I payed the extra $2 for the character and scene descriptions and spent about an hour outlining my first act. I saved my work and closed the app and then when I opened it again to continue I found that EVERYTHING WAS DELETED!!! Hopefully someone gets back to me about this!

Pretty good besides a few details.

I downloaded this app to assist me with my writing as I am a teen screenwriter persuing a feature film. I was aware that I would have to pay to create more than one log, but I was taken a-back by dissatisfaction. Once I had filled out my first (and only) log with detail and character adjustments, I was met with a pop-up that was instructing me to pay in order to save the information and plotting. I didn’t pay for it because why would I? I was smart enough to screenshot my info and plotting before trying to save it, so I didn’t lose anything. But there may be someone who isn’t as mentally fortunate. Please save your information before exiting if you don’t have the money to pay to keep it. Overall great tools and useful structuring features.

Unbrauchbar

Die Idee ist gut, aber dass regelmäßig gespeicherte Inhalte verschwinden macht es unbrauchbar und eine Unverschämtheit, für einige Elemente Geld zu verlangen.

Great app (but with an irritating bug)!

Almost everything about this app is exactly what I needed to collect all my thoughts and ideas for my story! The character and scene builders were worth buying, too!

I do have an issue with this app, though, and it’s a bug concerning the save system.
At times, it doesn’t seem to work; whenever I press save, leave, and come back, all the writing I put down since that time hasn’t registered, which can be absolutely frustrating if a lot of concepts have been jotted down, only for it to be gone because the save didn’t function as intended.

I would greatly appreciate it if it’s fixed in the next update, or perhaps, even, to add an autosave system (where it saves whenever the script is exited, and/or the app is closed).

Besides that glitch, I really love this app! Keep up the fantastic work, and I look forward to any and all updates in the future! 🍻

Great app

Hi,Patrick! I just want to say I love your app! I was always having trouble with making my characters and plot and now it’s just so much more easy and fun!
