Final Draft Mobile

I use this all the time on my iPad Pro and it is amazing. I am writing a couple of short movies with a keyboard attached and it works brilliantly, while not as in depth in features or operation as the desktop software versions, this is fully featured enough for you to write a full-length feature film script or whatever you want to write. I highly recommend it.

A brilliant app, relatively easy to use and when printed looks incredibly professional. Highly recommended.

Not fit for purpose on ipad

I’m getting in to scriptwriting and have found writing on my laptop a distraction from my day job editing video. Using FD mobile on my phone and iPad has really opened up many more opportunities to add to and rewrite my feature script. I’ve found the functionality really good and not had any issues with the software. The mobile version does not work on M1 Macs so set your expectations. Im looking forward to writing more on the app and turning my side hustle in to a full time gig.

Dated and full of bugs. Can’t type more than a sentence before it freezes and crashes. That’s before we get into the clunky and unintuitive platform. It’s embarrassing to think this is a programme professional writers use.

I use FinalDraft on both my Mac and iPad, and though I have issues with it on the mac, it’s basically unusable on the iPad in its current form. There is no support for the shift+click with the magic keyboard for highlighting text. That’s annoying, but fine. However, selecting chunks of text is the real problem. Highlighting text causes the app to glitch out, scroll repeatedly back to the same spot, and essentially makes it impossible to rearrange scenes. I have had to close the app so many times via multitasking to stop the app from randomly glitching/scrolling by itself when the screen isn’t even being touched. And there are a bevy of formatting issues outside of this, for instance with dual dialogue, that make using FinalDraft in any professional capacity on the iPad a total headache. Please developers, fix these problems and you will have a much happier writer!

Can’t import any type of format for file.

But sadly doesn’t recognise mobile Word documents, and won’t let me copy and paste text into a project, so it’s not much use to me.

Still very poor - the app crashes and bugs out constantly and is not reliable at all. Not at all worth the money. Desperately needs to be fixed.

Sadly as with the other reviews this is an extremely poor app with appalling levels of support. Shame on final draft. Do not waste your money
