### 4/5 — Great App!!!

*2024-07-19*

Been using it for four years, very pleased. the only thing is up until about two years ago you cannot get support. Not sure what’s going on with the company.

### 4/5 — Abandoned but great…

*2023-09-02, version 1.5.9*

This app is amazing. Unfortunately, it appears to be abandoned, and its website links are broken. 
If the dev still checks these reviews, I would love a desktop version that syncs with mobile.

### 4/5 — It’s Great, but…

*2022-07-18, version 1.5.9*

This app has helped me write two scripts, so I’m grateful. But what’s up with the predictive text? It doesn’t catch most of my mistakes, and it changes some of the stuff I write with really odd word combinations. If that is ever fixed, I’ll add another star to this review 🙂

### 3/5 — Any Updates Coming??

*2020-12-27, version 1.5.9*

Got this app awhile ago, used it a bit - interesting, but wasn’t quite ready to use full time. Also at times it would randomly close and my work would be lost. So, I deleted and now have come back to it, but.... no update in a year???  Is this a dead app?

### 2/5 — cool app

*2020-10-20, version 1.5.9*

but it keeps crashing. needs work

### 2/5 — Constant Crashes, Deletes My Scripts

*2020-10-20*

I want to start by saying that I do love this app. It’s great to be able to use an affordable screenwriting software, especially on my iPad. As a film student, it’s extremely necessary to be able to sit down and work on a script when inspiration strikes or when I’m away from home and can’t get to my computer. But, it has some major flaws that are becoming pretty drastic.

There have been multiple times where the app has crashed suddenly. Usually, it’s manageable. But at times, these crashes delete about 20 minutes worth of work.

Additionally, sometimes the app just straight up deletes my scripts. I spent hours working on a script a while back, but it got deleted. I left the app, went back the next day, it was gone. Sometimes, looking back at the version history helps. But sometimes, it does the opposite. There have been multiple times where I’ve tried to restore scripts as a new copy, and each time I do that, the app crashes. Sometimes, the crash straight up deletes the entire script (and ultimately its history).

I also had one of my big scripts get replaced with the text of another script. It deleted all of my work, which obviously sucked.

Again, I do really love the app. I appreciate being able to use it. But it’s becoming extremely unreliable.

### 4/5 — Best mobile screen writing app!

*2020-10-02*

I am very pleased with this app. It’s simple layout is nice to navigate. Notable features would include the sorting feature that allows you to move scenes around, as well as the short cuts which makes writing a breeze. I found this app very useful for spontaneous ideas and experimentation on the fly. When I’m not able to jump on my laptop to write, it is nice to be able to pull out my phone and jot scene ideas that I can export to any software. 

One critique I would love to see is a dark mode. This would be nicer on the eyes at night. Great app!

### 3/5 — Good, but buggy

*2019-12-27, version 1.5.9*

A good concept, but can be super buggy! I’ve lost so many scenes due to it just not saving for some reason...

### 1/5 — Cannot even write after few line as the current line is not seen

*2019-10-08*

The very basic feature of seeing what u write has a bug...after writing few lines on my iPad the current line gets hidden behind the keypad the screen doesn’t show the line where you are writing....there is no scroll bar that can take you to the position of your cursor....didn’t you test this App before selling .?..... need money back

### 5/5 — Fountain Scripting

*2019-09-27, version 1.5.8*

Untitled is great for scripting once you learn the simple language of Fountain.  I use it to compose ideas, outlining, and synopsis development.

 Highly recommend for writers of all styles.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-09-07, version 1.5.9*

This app cost money yet it doesn’t even work on my iPhone 13. I want my money back. This was straight up FRAUD! Stop scamming people out of money!

### 1/5 — Untitled scriptwriting notes

*2024-05-11, version 1.5.9*

Ansolutely does not function on iphone 13.  I cannot get but one thing to work!  All the other options are frozen ss if its a fake app.  I cannot even get support; safari says “unable” network connection lost.  Not even on another browser !  I might have to ask for refund and it seemed perfect for me!!

### 1/5 — Deleted all my work!

*2023-02-11, version 1.5.9*

I wrote 7 pages of a script and I went back into the app and it was gone. I didn’t back it up because I assumed an app (THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR) wouldn’t delete all my work. Really dissatisfied.

### 1/5 — White screen so unnecessary

*2023-02-02, version 1.5.9*

Dark mode for the sake of users eyes please. Even better, multiple color options for text and bkgrnd. I just cannot understand why that wouldn’t be a thing. Not sure if this app is ever updated. 

The functionality of the app is great, fun to write easy to use. Just quit hurting my eyes.

### 1/5 — App no longer working

*2021-05-03*

Not sure if the app has shut down. Support emails have gone unanswered.

### 1/5 — This app doesn’t save your work

*2020-08-16, version 1.5.9*

This app looks really good at a glance but after writing 2 chapters on it everything got deleted 

I’ve emailed the site but no one has replied  

It asks you to log in / register but when you register doesn’t ask for a password so it is impossible to log in

### 1/5 — Return

*2020-07-06, version 1.5.9*

How I can get my money back? I don’t like the app

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2020-05-02*

I had my script done on my Pages, but I couldn’t copy it or transfer it to Untitled app. Not worth the money, I would like to have my money back please.

**Developer response:** Please contact customer support so that we can assist you.

### 1/5 — Deletes all your work

*2020-01-22, version 1.5.9*

If you're writing and decide you're done for the day, MAKE SURE YOU SAVE ALL OF YOUR WORK!! Actually, even if you're not done for the day, save it. If you're going to minimize Untitled to go google something real quick, save it. There is no guarantee that once you leave the app that your work will be there when you return. 

I will recommend a more expensive app to my friends before I recommend Untitled. Losing work is beyond infuriating!

### 1/5 — Broken

*2019-12-04, version 1.5.9*

Totally broken in iOS 13 on iPad and iPhone. Text doesn’t show at all and app crashes after a few seconds. Infuriating.

### 5/5 — Great work

*2024-06-26, version 1.5.9*

Awesome app,. Great idea, makes screen writing a breeze

### 5/5 — Simple…but Abandoned

*2024-03-23*

I like this app alot. It’s uncomplicated and free. Allows me to write scripts without the entire circus of features AND handcuff of subscriptions. It’s abandoned, though and that’s unfortunate. But, it’s a great dead app. 

If the developer sees this, I hope they come back. 

I get it though. It can be a pain to maintain and deal with the never-ending hillside of squawking comments and requests.

### 5/5 — It’s a good app but would like to see more

*2022-12-18*

Hi I’ve been using it for maybe a good few days I think I would like to see something that helps the user when writing so maybe like if the person messes up the app can fix it automatically. Because I’m a film student so this helped me out quite a lot for projects and also actually if you put an idea in the box it will give you certain ways to make it into a screenplay so basically give the user options . But it’s just a few ideas that I would love to see on the app.

### 5/5 — Great app! Convenient and works wondrous!

*2020-11-02, version 1.5.9*

It makes writing script much easier. BUT you do need to know some basics of screenwriting. It is not a magical app that turns any writing into a screenplay format. You do need to know a bit about the format of a screenplay. It helps me write all my script drafts faster. I use it more than the Final Draft app I’ve purchased on my iPad.

### 5/5 — This app is fantastic

*2020-07-31, version 1.5.9*

Simple to use!! It really does instantly translate a story written is normal prose into a screenplay script, as long as you use certain key words in the story and capitalise the characters when they speak. But also this app is invaluable as a flexible story board creator. And then you can export it as a PDF or in FINAL DRAFT format FOUNTAIN, and others - Incredible.

### 5/5 — Very nice!

*2020-02-22*

Very good. Helped me focus on the story itself since I have no idea how to format the script

### 5/5 — Great app for an old(er) iPad

*2020-01-29*

I recently got a hand-me-down iPad and was looking for a screenplay writing app that would work with iOS 10, and this was the winner. Stable, clean, and the 'magic' writing option works really well. I don't have to worry about formatting; it's all done for me! I think my only request would be the option to type directly into the 'Preview'/formatted mode if I wished to. Sometimes it's easier for me to think if it's already formatted like the final export will be. That would just be a bonus though, it's great as-is too!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-01-06, version 1.5.9*

I was trying to type a script on the computer and then I found this app and it mad it so much easier

### 5/5 — So Far it’s the Best!

*2019-12-29, version 1.5.9*

I’ve used a few different script writing apps. This is by far the most convenient and consistent. Keep it up!!! Plz!

### 5/5 — Super useful and easy.

*2019-12-03, version 1.5.9*

This is great for writing scripts on your phone. I just write  with minimal formatting — export as FDX — and cut and paste that session into the full script. So easy and useful. Greatly improves writing experience one phone.
