Final Draft Go Pros

✓ FD Go Made Me Realise How Many Great Ideas I Lost Without It.Since the invention of writing, untold great ideas have been lost because inevitably writers got caught with no scribe, or papyrus, or bark on hand. Even when notepads and Bics became cheap and ubiquitous, our notepads got full of scribbled ideas, then “filed” in dusty old boxes in the “Basement Archive.” This was our ore-computer process, because we had no choice: losing those Great Ideas is so common, it has become endless fodder for jokes and memes. Even if we had notepads and pens teeming from every room, and our cars, they can’t be uploaded, and neatly organised into the cloud . And while regular word processors can also be used for online collaboration, FD Go lets us write directly into a new, or existing script while away from our main computers. I’m disabled and spend much time in bed. My main machine is a PC laptop my son gave me, and after much saving I was able to afford Final Draft 12. My sister gave me her old MacBook Pro, so using the dual license I can run FD 12 on both. I cannot bring either laptop shopping for it is too awkward with my walker. I also subscribe to MS Office 360 for short stories and to work on the Great North American novel. I do not need to use it for story outlining, as these tools are all integrated into FD 12. Another downside of writing my screenplay ideas in Word is, it would create piles of bulky notes, which I would still have to format in FD 12. Direct-to-screenplay saves a great deal if time and mental energy I can use for creative purposes. From idea while on the go, to shareable formatted screenplay connected to our main computers and collaborators, FD Go is the best mobile screenplay word processor, Fewer lost Great Ideas, faster realisation of those ideas..AcceuroVersion: 7.0.1

✓ Pretty good, could use better Magic Keyboard supportOverall this is a really good app and a nice supplement to FD for mobile. I do wish it had better support for the Magic Keyboard though - the biggest problem is that the cursor can’t be moved by using the touchpad cursor - you have to actually touch the screen to move the cursor around within the text. Only text selection works with the touchpad. I also don’t love the tab keyboard shortcuts and wish they supported the desktop CMD+number shortcuts. Overall though a solid app, fairly priced..AlsdkfjasVersion: 7.0.0

Final Draft Go Cons

✗ So many bugsI recently updated to Final Draft Go, hoping bugs would be fixed, but now it’s much worse on my 1st gen iPad Pro. Paid for a year subscription only to find out my login wasn’t working, even though it was working on Backstage. Had to create a new account to start writing. “Find and Replace” is offscreen so I can’t see or jump between search results, which is a major pain because I use it to mark my place when hopping around the script or finding where I left off the previous day. Selecting large portions of text that go offscreen is nearly impossible due to the endpoints jittering wildly when trying to scroll up or down during selection. Even just touching text within [brackets] causes a crash, something I reported to Final Draft prior to “Go” over a year ago and they were aware of the issue back then. Dual Dialogue can’t be edited or undone without lots of undo’s, but maybe I don’t know the right way to do it, but then again why isn’t it super easy and obvious? Storing files on Google Drive doesn’t work because Final Draft still can’t see Shared Drives, another longstanding issue that Final Draft technicians blamed on Apple, which seems silly to me. This is the leading industry software for writing scripts. It’s a shame that a program meant for typing text… TEXT! It’s just TEXT!… still doesn’t work on something as popular as an iPad. Maybe my iPad Pro is a dinosaur, but some writers are poor and my other apps actually work. Can’t take much more of this..DavidCodegliaVersion: 7.0.1

✗ Super buggyDon’t bother getting this unless they fix their scrolling system - it’s scrolling system is buggy as making it impossible to use, will just keep scrolling back to the top.Gwilled CheeseVersion: 7.0.3
