Final Draft Mobile App Comments & Reviews

Final Draft Mobile Positive Reviews

Not quite the final draft...Hard to navigate easily, Apple Pencil integration is flimsy but it’s what I’ve used for years. It kinda works; sometimes General notes work other times you spend and hour creating notes and it doesn’t save at all and that’s lost forever, there’s no prompt for saving notes or an alert to acknowledge my note was saved, the title of the note NEVER SAVES, so I don’t use them....sigh...is it worth the headache? Now, I’ve found some external fixes using drop box and iCloud but, when I draw I just draw on paper or in the tablet no problems, it ask or tells me my item is saved, why can’t writing be as simple and reliable? I need notification that my note is saved and I need a visible aid to show a note exist for a section. And finally, just a non-formatted page to free form write on and save how I’d like would be perfect, I don’t format my writings until the lol Final Draft. I do appreciate the work by the devs....Version: 5.4

Poppycock! It’s a great app!This is a wonderful app. And mind you, how much the desktop version costs. First off, The Final Draft people were the FIRST to make screen writing software...back when the Mac was just beginning with a 9 inch screen. That means they worked out all the bugs. Also, Final Draft Mobile uses a custom scrolling feature that specifically shows you where you are in the the screenplay...so you can quickly find what you’re looking for. And to all those people who say “It doesn’t hav Dark Mode” or “It doesn’t have Night Shift” or “It doesn’t have dictation,” as the Final Draft technicians have said, that’s a part of your system if it supports it. All three are supported in iPadOS 14. In iPadOS 14, just choose the “Display and Brightness” heading in the Settings app to enable Dark Mode or Night Shift systemwide. And if you want to dictate in Final Draft Mobile, it’s in the keyboard. As I only have iPadOS 14, I cannot speak for any other IOS systems. It exports to .FDX and .PDF. Prints with Apple’s Air Print feature. Emails from within the program. Final Draft Mobile is easy to learn and you can pick it up in just hours. It’s actions are icon-based and it’s updated regularly and it’s customer support answers regularly. And, it’ NOT subscription-based. It’s file format IS the motion picture industry standard and for that reason is taught in every film school across the world. I highly recommend it.Version: 5.4

Mostly love, but UI?I can’t for the life of me find out how to get out of this grey page dark mode looking view. But it’s not black background like your screenshot, its this awful middle grey and I hate it. I see screenshots of white pages or black pages and I want to get it back to white pages. Where in the WORLD is that setting? Should I uninstall and reinstall to get it back or something? I’ll try that. I also own the desktop version which I love, but I really wish beat board and target script length views carried over to the app. I’d be willing to pay more money for those features, so please consider bringing those over. I love using the mobile app for simplified writing and then back to my desktop app for further edits and referencing the beat board and other features. But yeah i truly miss that stuff in the mobile app. If you considered making a more robust mobile FULL app I’d love to buy it so that my desktop to mobile back to desktop app experience was more seamless. Thanks!.Version: 6.0.6

It’s almost a perfect App!I’ve been a loyal FD user for almost 10 years now. I love this application to death. Ever since different iterations of the mobile apps came out, I’ve been tracking all the developments it’s had. I DO think, writing on the iPad Pro, even on iPhones, have become very easy with the latest app. Like someone already commented, it’s got almost all the essential elements from the desktop version. So, I have no major complaints, but lots of praises for the developers behind the scenes. However, if I may, I’d like to see a couple things added: 1. Page setup can be a bit more comprehensive, would be nice to have Line spacing option included in there, since the desktop version has it, and the mobile app already syncs to it once it’s altered in the desktop. 2. I already write mostly on my iPad, but I won’t send out any script using it, because it’s got no protection features like the desktop. Watermark, PDF password protection, etc would be very nice. 3. This is request for both the IOS app and desktop version. I absolutely LOVE that FD finally allows multiple languages input, including a language I work in a lot, which is Chinese. However, it’d be even better if FD allows one to “set” the language of the script they’re working on, so that the smart features like adding “more’s, and con’td” would be correctly inputted according to the language they set. Thank you so much for everything! Best.Version: 5.0.2

It really does help with productivity.I truly believe this app is worth what you pay for. Not only is it far cheaper than the desktop app (which I have) this one is far easier to use and helps with productivity greatly. My only complaints are; it needs to be easier to click on specific lines when trying to edit grammar or other spelling errors in you’re writing. Second, the two final draft apps should be compatible, although they use different programming, and supposable formatting, it would be nice for it to make edits on both apps at the same time. Other than that, it saves time, money, and might even be easier to use with the added features it has. Great app with an easy five star review! This was an automaticity generated response for some reason but I absolutely 100% agree. Completely..Version: 6.0.6

Hoping for desktop version UI option in a future updateI absolutely love Final Draft and especially the desktop version’s brilliant and simple use of the ‘return’ key to advance and bring up various formatting functions. Recently I have begun using Final Draft Mobile in certain situations with my iPad and an external keyboard, however it does not function the same way, with me having to tap the screen element buttons at the bottom of the iPad’s screen, then hitting return to get the element I want to use. This an added and unnecessary (nor intuitive) step. Also, in order to use the scene scrubbing tool (the circular scrolling button on the right side of the screen), one must first tap either the wrench or share button in the upper right corner, then tap off it to hide the toolbar at the bottom of the screen, behind which the screen scrubbing button gets hidden if you are on the last page of your script. With these two items addressed, I think FD mobile would be the perfect companion to FD 11 on my desktop computer..Version: 5.0.0

Simple Task, Total FailureYesterday I needed to revise a few lines on a 3-page script I wrote in FD12, so I thought I’d do it on my 2018 iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard - because that’s presumably what the mobile app is for. The first time I tried to edit text the app crashed upon selecting text with the trackpad - it just kept scrolling up and down over and over until I quit it. Then I managed to get it working and made revisions. The undo/redo situation was a little chaotic but whatever. Scene elements were solid. Exported PDF and most of Page 1 was inexplicably blank. So I went back to my computer and it took 10 seconds, but it’s pretty crappy to offer a companion app to professional software that may or may not output an usable file. Now that I’m thinking about it, I suppose Revision Mode might have defaulted to A/B pages, but it wasn’t like that when I opened the saved file on FD12. Overall the mobile app was the really frustrating to use, and I think that’s kind of the opposite of the point..Version: 6.0.6

Maybe Change Overall FormatSo, I’m a writer, and I’ve recently gotten into screenwriting, and although I’m getting the hang of it, I would love to be able to read samples from other authors on the app, maybe even linking to websites with famous movie manuscripts, but that would just be something to add. I’m actually surprised with how happy I was getting this app. The format when writing is the best I’ve seen, contrasting with cheaper options. However, I do believe that the layout of the app, overall, could be changed. It really feels like an older app that needs an update and it’s kind of “boxy” instead of flowing, if that makes any sense. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t hard to navigate, but it’s a little annoying, seeing as it was $10. For example, when you open the app “Bear”, it seems open and gives you more of a welcoming vibe that you really don’t get from this app. Besides that, I’m completely happy with it, and it is worth the money..Version: 3.0.4

Decent app, but there’s one very strange bugI really like this app (the ease of being able to write on the go on my IPad has been a game changer that no longer requires me to take a laptop and tablet with me wherever I go. That alone is worth the price of admission, IMO) However, there are some truly weird glitches that occur for me sometimes with it. The most annoying one being that every time I try to highlight more than half a page of text to copy/paste, the program glitches out and won’t let me do it. On occasion it’s glitched so bad that I had to reboot the whole app (and lost a bit of work as a result). This can make the workflow very cumbersome, if you’re switching back and forth between drafts. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any chance this problem can get fixed in the near future? Truly, it’s the only thing wrong with the app… but it’s a pretty unfortunate flaw!.Version: 6.0.5

Nearly PerfectThis app is honestly fantastic. It blows me away how connected this is with my Final Draft on my computer. I’ve been very loyal with Final Draft for nearly 10 years. Your team even tweeted out my first movie option. It’s been a journey and I’m so happy to have this tool. I recently have fallen in love with dark mode on the desktop. It’s so much better on the eyes. When FD mobile received dark mode something was wrong. The black levels are way too low and the white levels are way too high. This strains the eyes very quickly. Easing up the black level to the desktop version would make this experience perfect. That little contrast fix goes a long way. Thank you for helping get Final Draft to more people! Looking forward to the next update!.Version: 5.3.8

Really good, but one prob..I’m a gachatuber and have need a script app for my iPad. I used to use my macbook but my sister is taking it to college with her after her winter break is over, so I got this app cause it had the best and most review and looked easy to use. I had copied what I wrote in highland 2 on my macbook and pasted it in my notes then, since my notes are iCloud synced, it would automatically be on my iPad notes. But, when I tried to paste it into FD it wouldn’t paste, then I figured maybe it was too much to paste at once, I do have 12 pages worth of writing so it would be very surprising, I tried a little bit less, then even less, then a single line. It still doesn’t paste its really annoying and I don’t wanna rewrite all 12 pages of the script, I will if I have to though. TL;DR - I can’t paste my 12 page script and I don’t wanna retype it all - I will if I have to tho..Version: 5.4

Was Great, Now Very BuggyThe app itself is good to write a script. It doesn’t come with the full-version’s bells and whistles, which is unfortunate, but it gets the job done. The BIG PROBLEM though is how buggy the app has become. I’m on iPadOS 16.1 with an M1 iPad Air, and routinely the bottom bar with the option to switch between “Scene”, “Action”, “Character”, etc just disappears with no way to bring it back. I constantly have to quit the app and restart, and then the bottom bar only stays visible for like 15-30 minutes before having to restart the app again, which makes it miserable for getting into a writing flow. In Stage Manager view it also causes the app to bug out and enter into an eternal scroll when highlighting text with the cursor. So, again, the app is unusable in Stage Manager mode after highlighting text. It’s a functional screenplay app bogged down by bugs in the new iPadOS 16..Version: 6.0.6

Bring over the Beat BoardThe one key feature this app is lacking, besides the handy navigator window as it appears on the desktop version, is the new and improved Beat Board. In fact- if you can add different card types for the beat board for characters, locations, and scenes — kind of how Save the Cat has the index cards for their board. Drop down windows for section headers and q/a for character profiles. Setups and payoff cards too. Your app is the best and will only get better if these options find their way over. There’s no reason to not include it when other apps try but fail at creating something similar. C’mon guys. You got this..Version: 6.0.1

This app is amazing but could be better!This app works seamlessly with Final Draft 11. I love how I can work directly off my saved fdx files within iCloud so that I can pick it up from where I left off on the desktop. Right now it seems like this is a mobile minimalist app to accompany the full software. I would love to see more of the features on here or just even a full version of Final Draft but for iOS. So, those of us who own or buy the full version could have a special key that allows us to have the iOS “full” version. You could have a minimalist low cost version and then a full fledged version for people who own the the actual software..Version: 5.0.2

It’s great, could be betterI love the app. Of all the screen writing apps, I personally love this one. What I don’t like about it is the continued feature it’s lacking. For example, if I want to continue a scene onto a second page, you can’t put continued at the bottom or top, you have to manually put it there, which is really inconvenient. Also, I would like to control the line spacing because when you have to manually put in continueds and can’t make the spacing between lines tighter, it takes up more pages and it uses a lot of paper when you want to print it. For example, if you can’t control the spacing and make it tighter, instead of it being 68 pages, it would be 88 pages, which is really inconvenient..Version: 5.3.7

Update issueI've used this app for years and am grateful because it's so much easier to write in a comfortable chair with my iPad than with my laptop. I just updated and am curious about a few things however. First, the general notes option has disappeared from the tools menu. Second, I put script notes in specific places and yet they don't stay where I put them. They migrate to different pages often scenes away from where they belong. Third, cutting scenes to paste in a different file can't be done all at once but rather only a few lines at a time. This is definitely more cumbersome than on my laptop. Perhaps the development team can fix these glitches?.Version: 6.0.6

Fantastic service.Had a small issue with the app. Emailed support and expected to get a run around and little help. It’s a ten dollar app and the full desktop program is 200 bucks. I figured wrongly. Eddie is not only patient and helpful but offered to let me attach the script file for him to fix for me. I got it on my own. But I didn’t have to. And that matters so much. I Will eventually get the desktop full version for long weekend revisions of future projects, but this IOS version works really well for 10 dollars and I’m learning a lot! Give Eddie a bonus please!.Version: 6.0.3

Very good solution for iPad usersEarly reviews had me concerned but I have mostly enjoyed my use of the recent version of Final Draft Writer. Many of the problems discussed most likely come from the awkwardness of the transition of the iPad from a tablet to more of a notebook style computer. I would not want to exclusively use Final Draft on an iOS devise as it can be cumbersome even on an iPad Pro, but it works well for me as a secondary option. Over time, as users forsake pricier/outdated Airbooks and MacBooks, this product will need to improve to incorporate some of the excellent features of the desktop version, such as a scene view, notes, etc. Then, of course, it will most likely cost more as well..Version: 3.0.1

Review final draft mobile needs fixingTo company, I very much enjoy writing on final draft mobile. I see more improvement on laptop or desktop. The mobile as bugs that are in need major improvements. Some are: the same way auto save from laptop the writing progress also in mobile, email option, a drawing illustration would be terrific as I am multitasking and want to learn how to animate my story, needs fixing on crashes and freeZes when it’s more 19 pages. I’m waiting for new final draft 13. Thank you..Version: 6.0.4

[Updated] Constantly Freezes3/6/21: A developer reached out to help troubleshoot. I reinstalled the app and tried writing a fresh document and nothing creamy happened. It only crashed once over the course of a day. I think the issue may be that I can’t work on things I’ve started on the FD full version on my iMac as those files may be too complex. A bit of a bummer but I’m just glad to be able to work on mobile! I had hoped to be able to seamlessly shift between writing on my desktop and my ipad but this app is an endless disappointment. It constantly freezes, which makes using it impossible. I would love to get a refund..Version: 5.4.1

Best writing app periodI love this app. I’ve used it for years on desktop and after switching from Amazon’s old story writer web app when they shut it down. On mobile I have been beyond impressed by how well it works and the fact that it is reasonably priced too. I think the only thing I wish this version of the software had, is the ability to add beat boards and outlines like on desktop. Hopefully this feature is being worked on for mobile, it was such an awesome addition to desktop.Version: 6.0.6

Good... but could be betterJUNE 2021 UPDATE - great support this time helping me figure it out - so for anyone with issues exporting to pdf either during or shutting off revision mode - I had the iPad on night mode and when I turned that off, for whatever reason, the pdf exported just fine. On FD Mobile, exporting to PDF while in revision mode causes text to be missing throughout the document. FEB 2021 Revision - support recommends I “don’t use revision mode” - why have it then!? Easy fix I finally figured out by myself is that turning off revision mode fixes the export to PDF issue but that is just a little unfortunate..Version: 6.0.1

*Almost* PerfectI started writing on this app recently instead of using Final Draft on my laptop. It’s *almost* perfect. There are minor things that I think could be added to really better the experience. It’s somewhat glitches whenever you move the curser around and makes it difficult to make any changes to something already written. There also aren’t any shortcuts, for examples, to highlight text and change it to ALL CAPS. One great thing is how seamless the experience is on Laptop, and I’m hoping that same ease can translate to this mobile app. But overall, I’m excited to write my next script entirely on Final Draft Mobile..Version: 5.4.1

Horrible, Horrible, Horrible, Horrible...Final Draft lost 3 important projects I had been working on for months. They’re telling me that when you receive the error message “Not compatible with...” this means your script is corrupt and is unrecoverable, all because I went between iPhone while I was on the bus, and iPad and PC while at home. I thought this was what the software was designed to do. I guess not. This is heartbreaking beyond repair. Months of hard work down the drain. Looking to replace this app, effective immediately, and will transfer the rest of my files elsewhere..Version: 3.0.1

FIX THE SOFTWARE or CLOSE YOUR DOORS!UPDATE: my support person has apparently gone AWOL like many others have, apparently. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app and started retyping my script. Once again, }{ the random character continueds continue. This software won’t get your script anywhere near a serious production company in its current form. It time for a new Industry Standard since this company doesn’t seem to care since the money keeps coming in from novices who don’t know what they’re in for. I repeat, fix your software or close your doors. This is downright unprofessional..Version: 5.0.2

Outstanding & SmartThere’s a persistent myth that poor=uneducated; that’s far from true. Many single moms (like me) are highly educated. Add special needs kids (autism, anxiety disorders), and conventional work becomes impossible—therefore, so does paying for full-fledged programs. When an app like this is as rich & fully-featured, wow. It’s like a gift. It allows me to “pay it forward,” scripting pro-quality (free) vids for kids, and one I intend to recommend to teachers. FD Mobile: you’ve created an example of excellence in coding guaranteed to spark creativity in budding filmmakers everywhere..Version: 5.2.1

Move the Undo button overThis app is pretty great. A little buggy when using a Bluetooth keyboard and scrolling up but that’s just a visual thing. However, I have a big issue with the Undo button placement. It’s not a finger’s width away from the arrow button that takes you to the Recent Items home screen. I lost an entire page of work when I accidentally clicked on Undo and then the arrow. It’s remarkably easy to do, especially when you have uncoordinated hands made for mashing down on a keyboard. I am using an iPad Pro in landscape mode..Version: 6.0.5

An Honest 3.4 Rating... Not What I ExpectedWhen I purchased this app, I had high hopes this app was going to be similar to its desktop counterpart. I have to say, I’m honestly a little disappointed... The UI can be a little tricky at first. I still do not know how to make my Scene Headings in bold, automatically. Also, the app does crash a lot. I was a reading the reviews before purchasing, and i did see that the app was crashing, but it seems that the frequency of the crashes was downplayed, seeing as though the app has crashed twice in the past 10 minutes. I would love it if you could release an update, fixing the crash bugs and please put in the “Elements” feature on the iPad version... the same feature that the desktop app has that can change the formatting of the scene headings, action, etc. I also think the scrolling on the mobile app could be a little more smooth. When scrolling now, it feels fast and rough. The fact that this app has not had an update in over a month, is pretty sad..Version: 5.2.1

Best Screenplay APPWhy I didn’t give this app 5 star is because it crashes when you have a large script. I noticed when my script got up past 11 pages it would wig out! Sometimes it just locks up. At 200MB it starts to lock and waits for it to catch up or something. Certainly not as good as the computer app. Never the less I like using it because it is convenient. I’ve moved away from the laptop to an iPad Pro and wish it didn’t have hang ups otherwise it would be an amazing app. I still like the brand and will stick with it..Version: 6.0.5

Sorta does the jobAs a showrunner, I’m often needing to review scripts and note them while I’m out of the office and on the go. I have used Final Draft mobile for over five years, mostly with my teeth gritted. In that time, the app hasn’t evolved much. In recent years, it’s become glitchier and harder to work with. I truly hope Final Draft is able to put more energy into their mobile app to help accommodate on-the-go production. I would greatly prefer if they made the mobile app on iPad (and perhaps iPhone) as robust as their desktop app, including all the same features. I would happily pay a premium for that..Version: 6.0.6

Convenient with Some IssuesOverall, I love the convenience of being able to directly edit my Final Draft files on-the-go. The frustrating part – along with the buggy delays/anomalies others have mentioned – is since my desktop version is still FD 9 (Windows 7 laptop out of necessity for work applications), whenever I edit an .FDX file in this app, it strips all of my color coding from the index card view. While this may not appear to be a big deal in comparison to all the other great FD functionalities, quick glance, color-coded flow is something I find very useful throughout story development. Thanks in advance for any help/feedback on this issue..Version: 5.0.0

I guess I’m a fanboy of FD 🤷🏽‍♂️I started dabbing into writing in 2010, that’s when I first got FD8. It was very impressive as I had nothing else to compare it to. I’ve used Celtx in film school and it seem that their platform changed for the worst for me. FD in general’s flexibility has been amazing! The feature on desktop version to speak to write would be an amazing feature on the app. Since this review is about the app, lol let me say that I’ve successfully outlined full projects and even started drafts on it. I have experienced some bugs but I have since just learned to go ahead and send myself a copy of the file as soon as I’m done. There have been times where it was buggy and didn’t open. Since I know it has certain issues I just save pdf’s and send them in case. Overall I can’t really complain. I’m taking writing as a profession and it’s my tool for my projects. Period..Version: 5.4

Great but needs major updateLove this app. But it still has some stability bugs and will drop out where I loose data. Not often but when it does happen it’s always frustrating. Also this mobile app needs better support for Final Draft 11. It can’t even read some text format based files like the Outlines template. And it doesn’t read new elements created in Final Draft 11 consistently. Sometimes they work as expected, but often they don’t. I still prefer this app to other screenplay apps and will happily give it 5 stars once the occasional remaining bugs are fixed and better Final Draft 11 support is added..Version: 5.3.8

Better than I expectedPlease add auto save. It seems like you need to manually exit your draft for it to save rather than simply closing the app. Closing the app without first baking out of your draft does not save your changes but it seems to have a background auto file list that you have to do some digging to find. Otherwise I’m pleasantly surprised.Version: 5.3.6

Incomplet mais efficaceIl manque beaucoup de fonctions pour que ce logiciel soit complet. Je voulais scénariser uniquement avec un iPad mais il manque trop d’outils et je dois toujours faire des allers-retours avec l’ordinateur..Version: 3.0.3

So far quite happyI haven’t tried to export or print or anything yet, but so far I am quite happy with this app for the simple fact my motivation to write scripts on spec for fun, practice, and hope, has been rejuvenated through practical convenience. Crossing my fingers that the finished product(s) transfers smoothly to my laptop and beyond..Version: 6.0.6

When will Final Draft invest in mobile?Everyone, EVERYONE, works mobile. Yet Final Draft does the minimum with its app. Whaaat?.Version: 6.0.6

5 StarsJust got the program. 12 hrs into writing. Absolutely love it. Very intuitive. The little icons. I’m excited about the little boxes on the right for specific notes..Version: 6.0.6

Recommend this mobile appThis is an intuitive app to use my iPad. It has less frills than the desktop Final Draft version, but this bare bones version fulfills my writing needs when I’m on the go..Version: 6.0.5

Final Draft AppLove it..can pick up right where left off on all my other Apple devices..Version: 6.0.5

Move away from phones and more to iPadI use this with the iPad Magic keyboard. It’s pretty good, but I feel it is bogged down with the simplicity needed for a phone. Can’t scroll or shift-click to highlight large chunks of text; need to click on screen with finger. The actual formatting when typing along quickly is pretty good. Haven’t finished a script, but have written about 20+ pages on it. Have also imported FDX files in here and it does a pretty good job. I tried using the revision modes in here for work as a script coordinator, but it is completely broken. Would love them to beef this up a bit more in the future, because this would make the app perfect for script coordinators, because we are distributing drafts in the most random places sometimes and need something on the go. I tried working with their support team, who insisted that some of the functionality is there, but it’s broken. They need to just make the UI exactly the same as in the desktop software. Final Draft needs to realize that most people who will be using this software will have it paired with a keyboard/mouse and just want the same functioning software. Stop making it for phones. As it stands, anything I write in mobile will probably be imported to desktop before any serious rewrites are done. Would love to see them work on this more as I think IPad OS will be very popular with casual screenwriters as the IPad becomes more robust. I already use it as my main device..Version: 6.0.3

AwesomeIntuitive, easy, and worth the buy. Would recommend to anyone wanting to write on the go. Great substitute when a desktop computer is not around..Version: 5.3.9

Quick fix for large filesIPhones and iPad wind up with mb instead of kB files. I put back on desktop using iTunes. Use cable go to file sharing open fed mobile Drag to documents and fd11. Now open but give lots of time if huge. Change one word then “save”. Close it. Go to documents and click properties and it’s converted back to a smaller kB file. Drag back to fr mobile. Change name before doing..Version: 5.3.7

Can you please support VietnameseVietnamese uses Latin alphabet and easy to support, but every time I write Vietnamese, it appears in square.Version: 5.0.0

Useful for basic writing, has some issues with OneDriveThis mobile version is perfect if you want to concentrate on writing, or if you need to rework on an existing script. But you might need to rely on the desktop version for the first stages of the writing, or for more elaborate work. Many tools are absent, such as the beat board + timeline, and font styles are limited (no colours nor highlighting). Otherwise the layout is fine for an iPad, I appreciate that it sticks to the essentials and it makes it very easy to work on the fly. The only downsize for me is that this mobile app didn’t synchronise well when using OneDrive. I fixed it by using iCloud instead..Version: 5.3.5

Simply Amazing!!Final Draft Mobile and I had some problems back then. But with the new updates and their focus and determination of making this the best screenwriting app there is for Mobile and PC. This is truly the best screenwriting application for both platforms that has ever came out. Thank you Final Draft and their team for listening and caring for us screenwriters..Version: 5.3.4

Works great, just like the desk top version.I have tried both versions and find that this version is just as good as the desk top version..Version: 5.3.3

Smart type is broken for scene headingsI’m working on a script (duh), and when I get to about page 14, smart type just stops functioning for scene headings. This is unacceptable. Fix it..Version: 5.3.1

Functions are there, but performance isn'tFormatting and all the details like that work fine, but still missing some features from the full version that should be easy to implement like Dark Mode. On top of this, it's very laggy. Don't have performance issues like this in the desktop version, or in other writing based apps in iOS. Can't rate it hire when it lags so much..Version: 5.2.1

It’s ok. Not Good, just OKI used to love this app, and I still use it frequently when I’m on the go but even for a pocket version of final draft it is seriously lacking in features. The multiple dialogue options that is available in the full computer version has literally no reason to NOT exist in the pocket version. It’s a great feature that makes writing dialogue easier. Also, there’s no Apple Pencil support. I like to physically mark up my script, one of the reasons I bought the iPad Pro was to be able to use the Apple Pencil for marking up scripts, but I have to export as PDF, open an entirely new app, marge it up there, then go back into final draft to make the changes all while swiping back and forth between two different apps in order to view the notes I’ve made. Being able to mark up scripts within the app would save so much time and make things so much easier. The updates never seem to change anything. Just a different interface, but never any new features, or added features from the full version. With all the great changes being made in the desktop version you guys could at least spare some of the smaller improvements with the pocket version. I’ve also noticed that the parenthesis options for Character Dialogue (CONT’D, O.S, etc) is very buggy. CONT’D doesn’t show up if you add dialogue after an action line, and it doesn’t show up if you have another parenthesis like V.O - when it should! I bought this app when it was still $30+ on the App Store, and I was happy with the money spent, now I don’t think it’s even worth the $15 it’s selling for..Version: 5.2.1

Awesome app but by this point?Love final draft love everything it’s about and Final Draft 11 is amazing i was surprised getting this app finally that there was no dark mode by this point? And or a stripped down beat board for iOS? I dont know the world of coding apps but i hope that its not going to be too complex to implement those features. I’m selfishly saying this cus I would love to just stick with my iPad Pro instead of lugging around my laptop and my pro. Any chance of that happening sometime soon? Cheers..Version: 5.2.1

Love itBest writing app I absolutely love it.Version: 5.2.1

What an amazing add onHaving FD on the iPad mini 4 just allows me to focus so much more..Version: 5.0.1

Thanks for the appLet’s me write anywhere, any time, love it. Still a few bugs though. Can’t “find and replace all” for example, can be a little tedious changing a name. Still, really thankful to have it!.Version: 3.0.5

Sync problemsWon’t let me sync my file on MacBook to iPhone. Also when I try and pay the $11 for full version it won’t let me..Version: 5.0.0

AdjustmentThe app should be compatible with the main, 10, version. We should be able to buy and use the FULL version..Version: 3.1.2

On the GO PerformanceAfter buying the Mac version and being able to work on projects while in the process of a commute is great way to be productive and great way to get that idea out..Version: 3.0.7

No index cards, no automatic syncingIt is very nice to see this app finally released on the App Store after years of delays. For $30 (soon to be $50) it doesn't offer much you can't already get from other screenwriting apps. The Storyist app offers a one click sync with Dropbox and Final Draft index cards. Index cards, an easier sync method and a scene view should be available in this expensive app. Better sync should be at the top of their list. They could solve this with one button as Storyist does. You hit sync, and it looks to see if there is a more recent version in the Dropbox folder for it. In Final Draft Writer, one has to navigate to their Dropbox app, open a .fdx file in Final Draft Writer, delete the old version, then copy it to Final Draft just to round trip it with their desktop version of Final Draft. This is clumsy and a waste of time. Production features and revisions are nice to have, but what is the point if you can't reliably and conveniently round trip a script? And what is the point if you can't even use the powerful outlining tools in the desktop version such as colour coded index cards and scene view? Hopefully an update will address these shortcomings soon and make this app worthwhile and worth the wait..Version: 1.0
