Preview Mode

When I am on the Preview Mode, I cannot access any page after page 2. Even if I select the page on the right side of the screen. It shows me all the pages, but if I go to page 7 for example, it stays on page 2.

OMG!!! THEY FIXED IT!!!

They finally fixed the problem I’ve had with this app for so long!! I can finally write properly now!! Thank you, Final Draft!! We are back baby!!

Paid for this before, now I have to subscribe?

That's gonna be a no from me. I already paid you guys $300 for the desktop version which USED to include the mobile app, but now I gotta subscribe monthly? If they at least grandfathered in the people that already paid for this I wouldn't be as upset but the fact I need to subscribe to get updates to the same app is ridiculous.

I need to pay monthly for an app a bought?

Disappointed to see that even though I paid full price for this app I can no longer use it. I don’t mind the change to a subscription service, but don't take away what I paid for.

Please add Dropbox

Having Dropbox functionality on every other platform except mobile is frustrating. Please add.

Can’t get new password

I downloaded the app to use on my iPad. Tried to use the same password as my old account. Not working. I try the “Forgot password” button. It sends link to my email, I click the link and enter in new password. Constant error message, try again. If this isn’t working I’ll be forced to try another app

Disappointed.

I paid in full for this app back before it was subscription based. Now I have a bunch of useless drafts on my iPhone that I can’t edit and I’m not allowed to write new ones without paying 24 dollars a month. I officially denounce this software, I take back my former review where I praised the product for convenience. Instead, here is my true review: Instead of running ads just like every other mobile app in the world used for word processing, the creators of Final Draft have resorted to a cash grab approach, because their failure to innovate outside of screenwriting software is the reason their company is failing. The Hollywood Union strikes have been hard on all of us, and to make it worse, The creators of Final Draft have decided to show us exactly how bad it’s been. As for the functionality of the app, it used to work good when I was allowed to use it. Though primitive, I would suggest people who want to write scripts use open source software like Trelby. It functions similarly and is easy to use. You can install your own plugins (something the creators of Final Draft would charge 39.99 for) and make your software into something you want it to be. Until then, don’t put money into this scam. Let this company go out of business like they deserve, and happy writing.

Tons of bugs in this release

A ton of weird navigation bugs — crashes constantly if you highlight a slightly larger block of text, Magic Keyboard constantly doesn’t highlight text, crashes constantly. Much worse than FD Mobile and no meaningful new features.

This app has taken years off my life

I was using FD mobile which was causing a bunch of formatting issues when exporting to pdf. Uninstalled it and reinstalled what ended up now being FD Go. Not only did I have to pay (again, I’d already paid for FD Mobile) this new app version obliterated all my .fdx files. YEARS of work are all now just blank files when I open them. I’m DYING over here. Still trying to figure it out but meantime, this app glitches, freezes and makes weird errors like not numbering random scenes and somehow making scripts longer than the original version - a problem when submitting for grants with page limits. Honestly, I would steer well clear until this is fixed. I’m so incredibly angry and frustrated yet still hopeful that years of writing can still be retrieved. I curse you FD Go.

Paid turns into subscription.

This is enough for me place a curse on them, or to go back to the other screenwriter apps, or both.
