Just used Stage Write for calling my first show with a digital prompt book. It has been so useful in so many ways, and in new ways that I keep discovering! A few ideas that may help my, land others workflows, that I’ve noticed over this show process:- Ability to pinch/zoom- Ability to use/view in landscape - and pages fit to height- With a landscape view, view 2 pages side by side (many prompt books have a clean page next to the script to write cues)- A button to add a blank page, without needing to import one from a computer- An eraser tool that can swipe to erase (like photoshop), or object eraser, instead of manually erasing each stroke with a “select” and “delete”- More incorporation of the Apple Pencil - such as scribble/handwrite that turns into text- I didn’t use charts that much, but an easier integration of not needing to back out of the script - basically view charts and script side by side. I ended up just handwriting the blocking in, instead of using the charts as intended.Just some ease of life suggestions! Otherwise, I absolutely love this app, will suggest it to any and all!

I used to love the app a lot more before the changes that took away the bottom hot bar for moving shapes flipping arrows etc having to adjust angles is annoying. I also am annoyed we can upload pdfs from the iPad. That being said it’s an app that is very helpful for stage managers it kept my blocking organized I do wish there was a way to mark where the blocking come in on what word, you can add it to the description of the chart but I wish you could have almost a footnote next to the word or phrase the notation of the chart on the side of the script goes away once you make it a pdf.

Okay, I write VERY few reviews but this company is great. I worked with the previous version and just now switched to this new one. I am still a newbie and I am learning all of the things I can do.I had an issue with a crash on the iPad app. I had no idea why. I emailed and they responded the same day. They tried to solve my issue and when they found out (It was my fault, I tried to upload a script that was the largest file in human existence and that was causing my crash) they STILL tried to find a way to fix my screw up. This is great to hand to stage manager, AD, light board op, the entire cast… It is a wonderful tool that allows you to very easily pre plan blocking and set movements to save time in rehearsals.I love this app because of this company and how much thought they put into it.I am still learning it, but only knowing the basics allows this to be useful right away. Keep those updates coming (like copy only the permanent layer to a new show etc….) and thank you!

Just what I need!!!

I’ve been looking for an app like this forever and I’m so glad I finally found Stage Write!! Wow. If only I had this for the dozens of shows I’ve done up to this point. It’s saving me so much time not having to redo formations or trying to translate from videos or handwritten notes. It’s intuitive and so nice to have things all in one place. No more need to haul binders of show bibles around. The support team has been more than helpful answering my questions. Couldn’t rave about this more, it’s a lifesaver!!
