Slugline: Simply Screenwriting

I was really looking forward to using this app but since purchasing a week ago, I can’t use it for more than 2 minutes without it crashing. I’ve tried reaching out through email and twitter for assistance but have gotten no response. I’d really like the chance to rate this higher but as it stands, I’ve spent $25 on a broken app.

Incredible value that can’t be beat! 🙌🏼 Has been my goto script app for years now. Never disappoints!

Good for quick edits or the like but not yet ready for focused writing sessions. Bugs and missing features interrupt the flow of writing but developers say they’re aware and working on it. I look forward to the day when this app lets me just write from my iPhone and iPad the way Slugline for Mac does.

Easy to use and straight to the point. It may be made for the screen but I’m using it to write comics. Also it’s sad that I have to mention this, but given how common it’s been with other apps to omit this, Slugline actually allows you to sync with iCloud.

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.
