Ratings and Reviews
Best screenwriting software out there
I've been using the desktop app for quite some time, can't reccomend it enough to any writers I meet. Just downloaded the mobile app today. Thank you for making something beautifully simple, can get straight to writing, 9MB, and no bothersome setups.
The best now on iOS
Thankyou so much for releasing this! Beat is superb, and constantly-improved on MacOS, it’s wonderful to be able to use it on the go now. Such reasonable pricing for an app which I consider far beyond Final Draft, Slugline etc… It’s not perfect yet, but it’s already the most useable screenwriting app I’ve tried on a phone. Improvements needed… index cards can’t be moved (surely that’s the point of them?) and it would be nice to have an arrow to hide the keyboard instead of reaching for ‘done’. Given how quick and amazing the developer is, I’m sure these will be solved. Couldn’t recommend this app enough.
Feel The (beat), Your Plots Compete…
.. this’s an App of the very finest quality. I can honestly say a number of things to convince you to buy/add this to your App Library:
1. It is, without any doubts, whatsoever; far, far better than any and all other apps of this nature (Script Writing) in the App Store.
2. It is priced so ‘utterly, completely’ competitively it’s difficult to countenance why any writer would not simply splash the cash to the tune of £10.00 ‘sight unseen’, it’s a bargain - thrice-fold!
There are apps that are ten, twenty or more times the amount this costs that do not provide you with the sheer quality, simplicity and utility in every aspect you can have a prime need for. It’s a 1.0 App.
There are a number of functions, capabilities and trimmings that are not yet there, but, they will be in the near future. I’m quite sure the developer is open to hearing all the treats we’d like to see.
3. It’s for ALL Writers of all TYPES! Oh YES! Now, that is another fantastic reason to drop a tenner on this digital delight. There are good instructions and online user information on how to use it.
My POV: Thank you very much, indeed to the developer for making my month with this treasure.
Honestly: push that ‘Buy’ button, now.
