Fade In Mobile Basic for Negative User Reviews

✓ Extremely hard to navigateConstant autocorrections to real words and a screen that starts to jump to different areas of the script, extremely hard to navigate, sometimes I can’t even write because the screenplay moves around and I can’t simple click an area and start writing.Film BratVersion: 3.0.613

✓ Well...The reason I gave this one star is because I couldn't try the features I want this app for. I'm specifically looking for an app that will allow me to import and edit a script. I downloaded the free version first just to sample it and make sure it does what I need it to do. Unfortunately, the two features I'm most interested in are not features you can try before buying. I'm really sorry, but as much as the description of this app appeals to me, buying it without trying out the import and editing features is out of the question for me. I get why you don't have it in the free version, but still, there are ways you can do it. Couldn't you allow the import and editing to work in the free version for a 24 hour period? Maybe you could disable the "save" on any imported script on the free version. Game apps do things like that all the time. I'd also like to try importing and exporting television templates. Anyway, sounds like this is a really great app, but there really should be a way for people to try out all of the features before purchasing the app..EmmyHopefulVersion: 1.1.302

✓ Don’t even nearly workText doesn’t show up when you write. Tried everything and just stuck with a blank page unless you edit the sample script. Don’t bother..JamieDW91Version: 3.0.632

✓ Complete Contrast to Desktop AppThe desktop version of Fade In has changed my life! I am so grateful to have the app that I literally work with on a daily basis and helps me survive as an artist. So thank you for that (praise). I think the mobile version of FadeIn needs to be completely revamped. I hope this review motivates the FadeIn crew and does not demoralize them. I truly am rooting for you guys! Looking forward to giving you 5 stars and even more praise in the future. May the force be with you all!.Blake WorrellVersion: 3.0.639

✓ Doesn't saveUsed it and doesn't save your work..Stooce_27Version: 1.2.413

✓ Unstable And GlitchyThis app is unstable and glitchy, not good for writing projects in, if you want some stable script writing software do not gate FadeIn as you will regret it just like me..D_smallVersion: 1.2.479

✓ Useful but does not workOne time I exported through Dropbox. One time... after any attempt to synchronize with Dropbox=white screen. Just not working. Very sad. I like it, I just cannot export anything to anywhere..Ustas 1971Version: 3.0.613

✓ Update?Is there a new update coming soon? Cuz I think the app needs a new bug fixing or something since it keeps crashing and sending me back to the app menu on my phone. I’m not sure if it’ll still continuing doing that, but I’ll try again tomorrow to see..Oliver ChurchillVersion: 3.0.637

✓ Not worth the money anymoreThe updates to this program in the last year or two have totally kneecapped its functionality as a screenwriting tool for IPad/Tablet users. Can no longer freely work within the body of a script, instead, it forces the user to work in each element separately. Each in their own little bubble. And you can forget about copy/pasting large blocks of text from Notes or Word. Impossible. Ugh. Save your money for the costlier competitor or stick with the free version of this or the other middling free Screenwriting program..Knut657Version: 2.0.565

✓ HERO TO ZEROYou know when an app is working so good, it’s perfect. It gets the Job done plus more? Well this was it until somebody tried to update it and change it. Now the app is completely broken. Even the autocorrect. No more drop box support, no iCloud. I had previously bought the full version of the app 7-8$ so happy with the purchase now I’m left with a basic version of the app with no purchase restoration. Imagine all my screenplays are trapped into this app, no export options no import options no longer available. It does not make any sense. Reimburse me immediately or fix these brand new issues. I would like to migrate my work. At least fix the exporting options so I can work somewhere else..EpicnesszZVersion: 3.0.609

✓ I can't view my scriptWriting the screenplay is fine, but I can't view it as a PDF on Dropbox. It says error or it can't load..Playstation GamerVersion: 1.1.360

✓ The app won’t syncThe free desktop version is great. This looks great too but won’t sync with Dropbox so you can’t open any scripts in it. The app can see the files but can’t open them - even ones created within the same app and saved to Dropbox. The developer says it might sort itself out (in which case I’ll amend this review) but otherwise we have to wait until the new version of the app, which has no release date. I was gonna go all in on the desktop version as well but I guess I will have to look at other options..Akira SanjuroVersion: 2.0.565

✓ It's stupidNot worth getting.Partyboy66534Version: 2.0.533

✓ HmmmmIt looks like it COULD be a good free script software fir you iPad or iPhone, but it doesn't give any guidance of what to do. I didn't want to "import" a script like they kept reminding me I could do, even though I'm not interested in the slightest. The only thing you're able to do is write "Actions". And that's not a script. A script needs characters, too, Einstein. But it doesn't let you do that? So what's the point. If you think you'd be able to figure out how to use this app the way it's advertised and supposed to work, go for it, download it. But if you don't think you'd be able to, and I don't blame you, don't bother with it. It's a waste of time and battery life..ConfusedMuchVersion: 1.1.369

✓ UnuseableI don't mean to be harsh, but I just couldn't figure out how to use this app. The sample screenplay was empty and I was unable to commit the basic of text to a new screenplay..EthicalseanVersion: 1.1.286

✓ Dropbox integration is brokenAfter authorization, Dropbox doesn’t load.SethingtonVersion: 2.0.565

✓ Won’t import its own desktop fileUseless! When trying to import my saved file from the desktop app I just get ‘unable to import’. Surely this is the most basic function..Wrenn1701Version: 4.0.12

✓ Almost unusable.I don’t understand why you would release an app that is almost entirely unusable. I have heard good things about Fade-in desktop. I usually use Highland 2 but there is no iPadOS app for that so decided to try this. On first glance it looked promising… until you actually start to type something. I have a pretty recent iPad Pro and no other apps behave like this. When you type, the lag is so great that I sometimes type an entire sentence and then wait before it catches up to display is slowly on the screen. Then when I am not even touching it the screen display jumps randomly to different parts of the document. Baffled..Annoyed of SussexVersion: 4.0.0

✓ No Exporting PDF’sThis is a waste of time! I can’t imagine a Writer wanting to type only! Even for a classroom scenario, you would want to eventually show your work!.NjMWehoVersion: 3.0.637

✓ PointlessAnything to do with Dropbox doesn’t work, which is one of the reasons I got this so I’d be able to semi-easily work on scripts on the go. There’s really no point to me having it any more. Only reason I haven’t rated it lower is because at least the rest of it works..SaedigaVersion: 2.0.565

✓ Doesn’t workTried this with a view to buying the full version and the Mac version. But the Dropbox syncs doesn’t work. It tells me it is linked to my Dropbox account but when I write something in the app and try to sync it, the app just says ‘Looking for files’ and that’s it. Never syncs. I’m scrapping any thoughts of buying the paid-for versions..Big TramVersion: 2.0.565

✓ Doesn't seem to do anything.It seemed to work, at first. I was able to add a single scene but it soon stopped doing that. Tried deleting script and starting over and even reinstalling. >_> I doubt that I am the required level of incompetent to not be able to manage working software..CrazedLeperVersion: 1.2.465

✓ Tried the free ap didn't care for itHaving to go through Dropbox is lame. And not being able to export as PDF ultra lame. I get it's a free deal. But at least give us PDF..Epic007Version: 1.2.396

✓ Can't read what I'm writingSeems to work well enough except for about halfway through writing the first page the script falls behind the keyboard and I can't see what I'm writing..ChimchimcharoopaVersion: 1.2.463

✓ Where is my keyboard?Looked great, worked fine and then all of a sudden the keyboard disappeared and I don't know what to do. I also wish there was autocomplete for the character names. Otherwise very useful..Groovy TeacakesVersion: 1.2.470

✓ Doesn't work very wellIt doesn't work very well, very limited settings, poor implementation of Dropbox. This app, even free version should be able to import Dropbox without having to do it directly within the app. Dropbox in this app loses its sync and has to be reloaded in. Imports from Dropbox is slow even for small files, unable to open synced files even to read only offered in free version. I had it installed last year in IOS 8 because a collaborator uses FadeIn but uninstalled it for similar reasons. I'll be uninstalling it again. I installed it this time because I am working with the same collaborator (now using IOS 9 & 10) and will switch to PDF or OpenOffice instead. Fadein needs updated to import from other Apps like the free Open Office and also from Google Dropbox. An iPhone user should be also be able to go directly into the Dropbox app and do an "Open-in" on the documents and be able to select Fadein to have the document launch into Fadein. This app seems very technology outdated for iPhone users..Randy DreammakerVersion: 2.0.533

✓ LimitedThis app only syncs to Dropbox. Doesn't sync to iCloud or any other cloud service. No way to export to email either. Some weird, jumpiness made it hard to edit headers. I'm on a iPad mini. Maybe that's why? Feel bad about the score - I didn't get too far before quitting. Others seem to love it! May try again if they add other cloud services..SaianuVersion: 2.0.565

✓ Doesn't workI'm on Iphone 14 plus. I tried to type, it doesn't do anything. If you try to change the settings it freezes the app. The only time it works is if I edit the template screenplay. Even then, the shortcuts like Scene heading, Dialogue etc don't work and/or automatically change like it does on a desktop. I can't understand how this app even passed qc (assuming there's even a qc) before putting on the platform?.JoegoerVersion: 4.0.12

✓ Absolute crapFadein on my laptop is fantastic. Fadein for iOS. Garbage. Absolute garbage. Absolute, utter garbage..ZombiemonstermashVersion: 3.0.627

✓ Absolutely does not workIt just doesn’t work. Files compatibility was fine for me, but I literally couldn’t write anything. Kept bugging out. Don’t waste your time. It’s a shame there’s no perfect screenwriting option for iPad yet, but I guess it’ll happen one day??.ThrexdVersion: 3.0.622

✓ Deletes workI really enjoy the desktop version and was excited using the mobile version for on the go. However, after using it for some days the app will crash and delete majority of my work. Then there’s the interface that starts to warp itself when you have a long script. In addition to using it with a wireless mechanical keyboard, it doesn’t allow you to use some shortcuts like deleting all whole word. Really wish they would update the app and make it more easier to toggle through the action, scene, transition,etc instead of having to press it with your fingers..XxemoluverxxVersion: 4.0.8

✓ FreezesI exit the app but when I re-enter the app it freezes.Juppo91Version: 1.1.369

✓ Craptacular!Why can't they get it to work?.PFANYCVersion: 2.0.565

✓ Are they kidding?If this app is some April Fools say stunt, then disregard this review... If that's the case, then I'll give it five stars as a hilarious little prank. But if they're serious... Wow. Just... Wow..HeyHiHoVersion: 1.2.489

✓ It used to be a great (and free) appI've been using it for a year or two now. Before, the only 'annoying' thing was a reminder that this is a free version, but can't complain about that. In the past three months, the text keeps getting highlighted at random, so the undo button became my writing assistant. But the dealbreaker for me is changes not saving. Sometimes at least I got a 'can't save' pop up, so I could paste a new version to another writing software. Other times I just lost the progress, and it's nowhere to be found in the backup..Nat your leagueVersion: 4.0.0

✓ Very frustrating in its current stateSometimes when I close a script, then open it back up a few hours later, an entire random section my writing will have just disappeared. It can range from two sentences of dialogue, to a twenty sentence action scene, which is very annoying. I also don’t understand why you can’t copy and paste text. If I could write on Google Docs, then paste it to this app in order to format the script, I could live with that, but I can’t. I don’t know if that’s by design, or if it’s a bug. I understand this is the free version, but I really don’t think not getting my work deleted and being able to copy and paste is too much to ask for..Mr. ScarnVersion: 3.0.622

✓ Hard to useI always wanted to write a script, but there are not many apps like this which makes me a beginner. I guess this is for more advanced script writers, because this was hard to use for me..Brent DanleyVersion: 1.2.464

✓ No page number supportIt claims to have page number support, but it doesn't. It also does not have any way to contact the developer, which tells me that they are not interested in user feedback..VasqiVersion: 1.2.419

✓ Great, but needs improvementsThis app is great, but because not all of us can afford the $4.99 full version, most of us are stuck with the lite version. Not to mention the sopping $40.99 computer version. This app is great for beginnerss, but the storage is to small. There should be more than two script space on this version. Also, there should be a fix for exporting. When I'm the strongest network connection, there still says that there's a network connection problem. Please fix these things and I'll give this app a 5 star rating.HgyhfrhgdynfrhbcehjinfyhvdvdwsVersion: 2.0.500
