Considering that Final Draft used you as a disposable first draft for developing FD Writer for iPad and seems to show absolutely no interest in expanding into the iPhone, this is perhaps your opportunity to merge the capabilities of Screenplay for iPad and Screenplay for iPhone into the phone platform. It would be nice to be able to place shots in my work, notes and more cleanly deal with (O.S.) notation while working on the iPhone. Yes, I do know the workaround, but why is workaround even in our vocabulary, when we just want to write screenplays? However, what you do allow us to do you do well, hence four stars. However, if Final Draft does decide to move into the iPhone playground with something that works as well as FD Writer for iPad, you're gone!

Really Like

I love this app. I can go in at any time and add to my scripts. The only problem in BMS tries to access my folder. It offers to tap Allow, but there's not one for Don't Allow. If this continues, I will delete the app.
Love it!
