Slugline: Simply Screenwriting

export/share isn’t workign on ipad pro. causing real problems. please fix asap.

While I enjoy Slugline, and use it as my sole writing software the version on iPhone and iPad are atrocious for one small bug. When writing and being given the option of predictive text I always opt for it as it is genuinely helpful on a touch screen. However, on slugline when predictive text suggests something , especially when it is a word with an apostrophe when I press the space bar to choose the predictive text or just simply tap on the predictive text option as it appears above the keyboard it separates the words , breaking up the sentence and mixing the apostrophe and whatever follows in amongst the next words I am typing. It’s a small issue, but it upsets my flow to no end and is such a simple bug that should have been sorted out on release.

All the good things about slugline for Mac, but in a smaller package. Would love to have a typewriter mode added. Typing and staring at the bottom line on the screen gets tiresome. Have minor concerns about stability as the app crashed once or twice but the file seemed OK, makes me a bit unease about working on longer documents.

As others have reported, Slugline is currently broken. Whenever I try to create a new screenplay, whether local or in iCloud, the app immediately crashes. I used to adore this app, but now I’m just disappointed.

I’m really confused as to how to use this. I’ve tried reading everything and YouTube tutorials still can’t understand

Read raving reviews. Tried it for $19+ and it’s terrible. Not intuitive. Trying to hit return to get into the next correctly formatted section required backtracking. Not a seamless writing experience and I’ve been writing screenplays for a long time and have used almost all the mainstream software.

For whatever reason the app crashes whenever I try to make a new file and is therefore unusable. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail and switching between local/cloud storage. So far nothing works, but if the issue is resolved I’ll happily change my review to 5 stars.

I purchased Slugline for $19.99 and downloaded for IPad and used it to write my project. When I wanted to work on a new screenplay, it restricts me to open a new page. I then redownloaded the app only to lose my current work, it happens. But I do not understand that after purchasing the screenplay app that it’s now limiting. It makes no mention of upgrading to a bundle pack, I know that for the iMac you pay almost $50.00 for the software

I noticed the app sometimes does not sync your changes to the original file, and instead creates a separate copy of it. This then causes multiple versions of the same script to pile up in the recents section, while I really just need to maintain one version of it. Overall, the app is better than most I’ve seen for screenwriting on phone, just hope this one aspect can also be improved.

I enjoy the app’s simplicity and functionality. What I don’t enjoy is how the app crashes four to five times every hour. It autosaves frequently, so a crash only deletes the latest piece (either one chunk of dialogue or description) but it’s still annoying.
