Slugline: Simply Screenwriting

The app crashes every time I try to start a new project.

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.

This app is simple and intuitive and perfect for screenwriting without any distractions. It's helped me pick up writing in Fountain quite quickly. I appreciate the few templates that come with it, too, more as an example of how to incorporate "hidden" text within your writing.

was by far the best screenwriting app on iPad, however recently a bug has caused my scripts to become jumbled nonsense , making this app completely unusable. I tried contacting their support with no response, and considering how long it's been since the last update, I don't know when it'll be fixed. truely sad, looking for a new screenwriting app has been miserable

As great as this app is, I can’t be bothered to use it anymore. There’s a major bug that turns everything I just edited into a garbled mess. Words get rearranged and I can barely decipher what I just wrote. I can’t even undo when it does this, and all the work I just did since the last save is useless. The app used to be great, and it’s the only way I know to easily open files from the Highland desktop app on my iPad. I would gladly change my review if the app becomes usable again.
