Only Three Scripts

The app works fine and is great but only three scripts is very annoying.

I mean it’s alright but…

It’s a good app but I wish there was like a search bar so we can type the part that we wanna go back to instead of scrolling. Also it does get pretty laggy like when we scroll and tap at a sentence it lags a bit and it breaks my screen for a second, is there anything you could do to prevent it?

Very strange please update

When I got the app it didn’t give the option of making password it didn’t even give me one. So when I tried to upgrade it to plus I couldn’t access the sight then I checked the sight it crashed signed me out and now I can’t get back. THIS NEEDS TO ABLE TO MAKE MORE THAN ONE ACCOUNT! Please

The beat

I have used this software for years. It is the best. The app sometimes can be a bit glitchy but I gave it 5 stars because it has everything you need and is laid out by far better than any other. The AI voices work amazing! We need more that don’t sound robotic 😂 the glitches never happen on the computer it’s an app thing. Try it out!

Great on desktop, but...

The desktop app for Mac and the browser version on Safari are great, but the iPhone app and mobile browser versions are terrible. They are super laggy, they don't update like they supposed to, when you tap on a place where you want the cursor to go, the app jumps to a completely different place in the script, sometimes several pages down...so now you gotta scroll up and try to find where you were putting the cursor, etc. The mobile app and browser versions are almost unusable, which is a shame.

I love the product but am dissatisfied with the app

Writer duet (on my computer) is great and it is a very fair price for the yearly price but I am disappointed by the app. On my computer using a browser writer duet works great but this app on my phone is not good. It does not update my scripts so if I use my computer to write and come on my app later to work on the go it doesn’t update to the cloud version. I just finished writing a 14 page short film script and went to review it on my phone to shortlist and it didn’t update so my phone only shows 6 pages of the script. This issues, on the book I am writing, caused me to lose work in the past. I don’t use the phone app anymore because it is unreliable but this is extremely frustrating because I am paying for a service and not getting the full benefit. Please fix this issue and I will change my review, thank you.

Language switching is not working on my iPad and iPhone

Good program. I want to purchase it, but please fix the switching to other languages!!!

Good, not perfect

Writing a screenplay, it has made it 1000 times easier to focus on the story rather than formatting. So grateful. It’s not perfect. On iPad at least. But I’ve been able to print it in the exact format as it shows in writer duet. I choose this over final draft pro anytime. It puts it to full shame. Thank you. I never write reviews

It’s great but-

I wrote three scripts on it and now it won’t let me write anymore.

Cool

L’appli est trop bien ! La partie gratuite subvient largement au besoin pour l’écriture de petit script !!!

Worst experience

Every time I downloaded this app same thing happens to me nothing opens simply displays its name. Stupid app

Bugs and bugs

Its full of bugs. I cant type properly. Copy paste wont work properly. Language changing option not working and a lot. I find ms word is far better than and less work comparing the bugs

Horrible

It always messes up when you try to do dialogue.

Missing 1 essential tool

I love the app. It works great on my iPhone in a pinch. I mostly use on my iPad and I love it so much. Writing is seamless for me. However there is one key feature that’s available on the desktop version that’s not available on the iOS version, and that’s the ability to drag and drop the cards. I hate having to cut and paste cards between sequences or if I need to rearrange scenes seamlessly. If you provided the ability to tap/click and drag the cards on iPhone and iPad, I’d never need my desktop again.

Love the app

I started writing with WriterDuet. But there are some issues that I see with the app. That can affect someone’s writing.

Like for one, when I copy something from another document that I have my story idea in. And I want to paste it within the app on either iPad or iPhone. The app, either a glitches, and then adds extra lines, or B kicks you straight out of the app and adds extra mind that you cannot delete once you exit the app to restart.

In my opinion, that’s just the biggest issue. Because it’s gonna slow us down, especially for trying to write a script.

Doesn't Work with iOS

Really annoying that the cursor jumps around to the front of the line when I am trying to add something to the end of the line on both my tablet and iphone. I wanted to be able to work on a project with someone using windows/android and while it worked for them, not having my devices made us try to find alternative collaborative screenwriting software.

Buggy but useable

The iPad app is buggy. If they could get it running as smoothly as the desktop version it’d be 5 stars easily. The biggest, and most tedious, thing is that if I scroll down (for example) ten pages to edit a scene, the moment I click on the text I want to edit, the app will jump me 2-3 pages away from where I want to be. This will happen two to three times before it works properly.

Why do you have to pay

I have a question about the app. Why do you only write 3 scripts and then you have to pay? You should have unlimited scripts for each plan! Can you lower the price for the pro, premium and the other one? Some people don’t want to pay for a subscription

Syncing issues

I’ve been reporting this to their support staff for months and they still haven’t fixed it. I’d make changes to my project on my computer, then I’d open the project on my iPhone or iPad via this app and it wouldn’t sync those changes. So I’d basically be working on two different versions of the same script. Do not use the mobile app, just use the desktop website since that’s the only version that syncs properly.

fantastic app

Certainly underrated, this app deserves more hype. it’s free, it’s easy, it’s reliable, it doesn’t crash, it doesn’t require wifi, easy to convert to pdf. As a first time filmmaker writing my first script, this could not be easier to use and great for teaching you how to format a script. Couldn’t be simpler! I have recommended this to my filmmaker friends and I am recommending to you!
