It’s a great app. If you are a director like me (or anyone in film or television who clutches onto your script like it’s more important than your first born) it will change your life - seriously. I feel like I’ve been waiting for something like this since the first time I realized most of my notes would be lost when pinks were issued on some long forgotten show years ago. Easily saved me about 30 hours of evening transferring of notes from one script draft to the next on my last job. I like that I can scribble over my script and easily delete the dumb ideas later. Apple Pencil and this app are made for each other. I love having a back up digital version of all my notes, being able to share my notes with the DP, being able to easily import images, sketches etc. And having reference frames sitting in the margins of my script as little reminders on the shoot day. In fact on my last tech scout I was importing the Artimas frames i had just shot at each location and sketch plans in the van on the way to the next location - while all these ideas were fresh.A creative tool, serious time saver, memory jogger and more. I couldn’t work without it now. Developer super friendly and helpful too - which always makes a difference.
Amazing Product with Top Customer Service

Scriptation is an awesome tool for creating sides, plus if you need help the customer service professionals email you back promptly. David was a legend to deal with the couple times I had questions. Highly recommend!

Loving doing my script prep on this app. feels very comforting on the ipad, but still creative and I can scrub out messy notes and tidy things up as I go. Love layers to collab on. Really clever software, can't wait to use it more.

The thought of going paperless after 28 years of working with paper scripts was more than a little daunting. I took the plunge and bought Scriptation. I was crazy enough to cut my teeth on my next project - a big budget international film with constant script revisions, multi-camera and particular post-production folk! Scriptation soon became my best friend - just my iPad & I - no more folders, and information was at fingrer tips. The clarity and logic of layout, user-friendly tools along with the support team's speedy back up. I reccomend this product.
A few bugs kept dragging themselves back for one more sequel. This build is where the franchise ends.
- Improved stability when using Apple Pencil hover
- Improved reliability when saving large transfers
- Fixed a file size issue caused by author names with special characters
- Additional bug fixes and performance improvements
Enjoying Scriptation? We’d love for you to leave us a review! =)
