Ratings and Reviews
This is fascinating . . .
Final Draft is the leading software for screen writing. It has been around forever - and it does not have a manual. This is not a typo- it does not have a manual.
Also - it has a number of useful tools, but the scene tool can't print in landscape.
Since it went this far, being this bad, there is no reason for it to improve I guess.
Will continue using it - but wish it was better.
Crashing!
Crashing too often. On two different systems, both running MacOS 14.4, updated to the latest version of FD, and still seeing crashes (no warning, no file backup, the app just quits suddenly). It seems to mostly happen when the navigator is open, so hopefully they will fix it soon, but seriously guys, there's just no excuse for this. Especially for a mission-critical piece of software that people rely so heavily upon. This is 100% unacceptable for a piece of professional software.
Developer Response ,
Hi, we're very sorry you're having these issues. Our support team will contact you for more troubleshooting and hopefully we can get to the bottom of this.
CRASHING ALL THE TIME
I DON'T ANY APPLE SUPPORT, I WANT MY MONEY BACK AND I WANT IT BACK ASAP. FINAL DRAFT (THE COMPANY) PUTS THE BLAME ENTIRELY ON THE APP STORE. DO NOT PURCHASE IN THE APP STORE. I WRITE FOR FIVE MINUTES THEN LOSE ALL OF MY PROGRESS EVERY SINGLE TIME. I PAID 300$ FOR BROKEN SOFTWARE. WORST PURCHASE I HAVE EVER MADE.
