Fade In Mobile Basic

Crashed, deleting what I had written

I'm on Iphone 14 plus. I tried to type, it doesn't do anything. If you try to change the settings it freezes the app. The only time it works is if I edit the template screenplay. Even then, the shortcuts like Scene heading, Dialogue etc don't work and/or automatically change like it does on a desktop. I can't understand how this app even passed qc (assuming there's even a qc) before putting on the platform?

Great for writing screenplays for theatre and cinema. No complaints!

I really enjoy the desktop version and was excited using the mobile version for on the go. However, after using it for some days the app will crash and delete majority of my work. Then there’s the interface that starts to warp itself when you have a long script. In addition to using it with a wireless mechanical keyboard, it doesn’t allow you to use some shortcuts like deleting all whole word. Really wish they would update the app and make it more easier to toggle through the action, scene, transition,etc instead of having to press it with your fingers.

The desktop version of Fade In has changed my life! I am so grateful to have the app that I literally work with on a daily basis and helps me survive as an artist. So thank you for that (praise). I think the mobile version of FadeIn needs to be completely revamped. I hope this review motivates the FadeIn crew and does not demoralize them. I truly am rooting for you guys! Looking forward to giving you 5 stars and even more praise in the future. May the force be with you all!

This is a waste of time! I can’t imagine a Writer wanting to type only! Even for a classroom scenario, you would want to eventually show your work!

Sometimes when I close a script, then open it back up a few hours later, an entire random section my writing will have just disappeared. It can range from two sentences of dialogue, to a twenty sentence action scene, which is very annoying. I also don’t understand why you can’t copy and paste text. If I could write on Google Docs, then paste it to this app in order to format the script, I could live with that, but I can’t. I don’t know if that’s by design, or if it’s a bug. I understand this is the free version, but I really don’t think not getting my work deleted and being able to copy and paste is too much to ask for.

One time I exported through Dropbox. One time... after any attempt to synchronize with Dropbox=white screen. Just not working. Very sad. I like it, I just cannot export anything to anywhere.

Why can't they get it to work?

The updates to this program in the last year or two have totally kneecapped its functionality as a screenwriting tool for IPad/Tablet users. Can no longer freely work within the body of a script, instead, it forces the user to work in each element separately. Each in their own little bubble. And you can forget about copy/pasting large blocks of text from Notes or Word. Impossible. Ugh. Save your money for the costlier competitor or stick with the free version of this or the other middling free Screenwriting program.
