Playwriter for Negative User Reviews
✓ HorriblePiece of crap. Wrong formatting for a play. Unbelievably clunky interface for writing. Give back my $3.Version: 2.0
✓ Not good a t allI opened the app on the iPad doesn't work at all ! Won't let me do anything Very unhappy.Version: 2.0
✓ Same point!I must have downloaded at least 5 versions of this type of app and they're all very different. Each of them have they're own great features, but, conversely each of them lack all the good features that their competitors boast. Just get your heads together and you'll come up with the perfect tool. However, this isn't why I decided to write a review. I actually wanted to mention the thing about the keyboard partially covering up the little green box as one types into it, but I have just read another reviewers comments, which makes the same point. So, I'll tell you about something else that puts me off using this app; I like double line spaces between certain paragraph. I certainly would like a bit of space after the character's name. However, no matter how many line spaces I type, each piece of text arrives immediately behind the previous one, which, in my opinion, makes the entire script look too continuous and very difficult to read. In particular, I would imagine that the player would have to hi light his or her copy, in order to appreciate where the directions end and the dialog begins. All your competitors allow double line spacing, and the scripts look great! All that being said... And, ideally, rectified... This app makes script writing ten time easier than using a basic word processor. Thank you!.Version: 1.0
✓ A MESS!!!My content disappears, characters from one play appear in another. Simply dysfunctional! Would be very cool if they ever fix the bugs..Version: 2.5
✓ Stop Spamming Me to Rate It:P It doesn't even pop up the right app when you agree to rate it. I am still getting used to the app right now. I might update this rating later..Version: 2.5
✓ Frustrated...I had the same issues with the dialogue box, I was so ready to just begin writing a great story... Totally lost my spirit to write... Waste of money and more importantly TIME..Version: 1.0
✓ Deletes Content?This app looks like exactly what I need. However, it doesn't work the way it should. Any time you close the app, or open a different script you're working on (I often work on multiple scripts at a time) it deletes all the characters and scenes you've personalized for that script. I spent a ton of time filling out character descriptions for my one act, only to come back and find everything I'd done gone! Maybe it's just my version? But I am honestly disappointed. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but all I got was a waste of money. It seems to work for some people, and it makes me sad I'm not one of those people! I'll sadly be deleting this app..Version: 2.5
✓ FrustratingIt started off great. Helped me organize thoughts and characters. Dialogue went fine at first. Then I edited some dialogue and after clicking Done it jumbled up the order of all my dialogue! First time it happened I was surprised, second time angry and the third time I am now giving up on this app. Too bad but it is useless if it keeps arbitrarily switching around the order of my dialogue..Version: 1.0
✓ Works But the format is wrongI love the idea and the ease of use. But the format is wrong for a play script..Version: 2.5
✓ Gorgeous app but PLEASE remove the promptWhen I saw the app in the store, I was pleased because this is just what I was looking for. I downloaded it and have been using it to write my scripts. I love that you can email and share your script in the format that it's in. The reason that I did not rate this five stars, and it something that has been driving me insane, is because of the prompt that comes up every time I go into the app that says "Rate this app, remind me later, or no thanks" I opted for remind me later because I wanted to try the application a little more before actually gave it a fair rating. However, when the app is running or every time I go back to it that same prompt keeps popping up before I can actually use it. The other annoying thing, is that every time I make a decision to rate the app, it takes me to another app and I'm unable to rate the app so that the prompt can cease. Though I greatly enjoy this application, that bug is enough to make me want to look elsewhere for a script writing application..Version: 2.5
✓ Stop making me rate you!It's annoying and I can't it take me to another app!.Version: 2.5
✓ DisappointingA number of features/bugs really let this app down. I cannot add any more than 26 lines, and the 'green box' issue previously mentioned..Version: 1.0
✓ Like itI like this app but the rate me glitch is really annoying. Please fix.Version: 2.5
✓ A bit frustrating...I'm using this app with my students as a way to adapt scenes from literature to the stage. While I like the scene detail, scene location, and character description features (this allows for brief character analysis), the app does have some problems. The first major issue is that the lines get cut off while typing in the dialogue boxes, so it's impossible to see what words you are typing at a certain point. There is a limit to the lines you can see in the actual scene; lines get cut off and it is impossible to read what comes next. The scrolling feature is also limited. One student found that her lines kept getting "shuffled" as she attempted to set up the lines and stage directions. As much as I love the concept of this app, I'm afraid there are more drawbacks than benefits..Version: 1.0
✓ Fix Glitches!This app is great for writing plays. However, there are a few glitches. For example, when opening a saved play, the dialogue is out of sequence. Also, sometimes it won't allow scrolling through the dialogue box. If these concerns are addressed, this app would rate five stars. It is fun to use. Until then one star is the best we can do. Please update this app with these fixes!.Version: 1.0
✓ 50/50The concept of this app is wonderful, however it is very frustrating to deal with the dialogue box rearrangements not being able to see the text you write. As well as the character bar, if you have a certain amount of characters you can't scroll down to select the ones at the bottom of the list. It hinders your creative flow!.Version: 1.0
✓ Too many bugsAfter writing a complete scene, adding characters, locations etc I found out that scene 2 crashes whenever it's used. Very frustrating as up to that point it appeared to be an excellent app. I contacted the developers regarding the problem many months ago but it appears they cannot solve it. I've since moved on to the very expensive but excellent final draft writer. Shame..Version: 2.5
✓ Conflict with Dialogue BoxThis started out well, but then frustration mounted as the dialogue box is uncooperative: I can not see what I am typing on the right side of the box. If I blindly type and make a mistake, I don't know where to place the cursor to go back and fix it because I can't see where the mistake is until I close the box and read my script..Version: 1.0
✓ Not what your hoping forThis app provides great guides to writing. Only problem is I can't find them anymore after starting one play. Half the screen seems to go missing and has kicked me out when pressed export...Version: 1.0
✓ Play writingThis application needs to be reworked. The idea is good but it does not work in the script text handling. It looses it ambles in the lines numbers and in the scrolling of the page. So my recommendation is do not buy it!.Version: 1.0
