Fade In Mobile Basic

It doesn't work very well, very limited settings, poor implementation of Dropbox. This app, even free version should be able to import Dropbox without having to do it directly within the app. Dropbox in this app loses its sync and has to be reloaded in. Imports from Dropbox is slow even for small files, unable to open synced files even to read only offered in free version. I had it installed last year in IOS 8 because a collaborator uses FadeIn but uninstalled it for similar reasons. I'll be uninstalling it again. I installed it this time because I am working with the same collaborator (now using IOS 9 & 10) and will switch to PDF or OpenOffice instead. Fadein needs updated to import from other Apps like the free Open Office and also from Google Dropbox. An iPhone user should be also be able to go directly into the Dropbox app and do an "Open-in" on the documents and be able to select Fadein to have the document launch into Fadein. This app seems very technology outdated for iPhone users.

Sometimes when I close a script, then open it back up a few hours later, an entire random section my writing will have just disappeared. It can range from two sentences of dialogue, to a twenty sentence action scene, which is very annoying. I also don’t understand why you can’t copy and paste text. If I could write on Google Docs, then paste it to this app in order to format the script, I could live with that, but I can’t. I don’t know if that’s by design, or if it’s a bug. I understand this is the free version, but I really don’t think not getting my work deleted and being able to copy and paste is too much to ask for.

The updates to this program in the last year or two have totally kneecapped its functionality as a screenwriting tool for IPad/Tablet users. Can no longer freely work within the body of a script, instead, it forces the user to work in each element separately. Each in their own little bubble. And you can forget about copy/pasting large blocks of text from Notes or Word. Impossible. Ugh. Save your money for the costlier competitor or stick with the free version of this or the other middling free Screenwriting program.

The reason I gave this one star is because I couldn't try the features I want this app for. I'm specifically looking for an app that will allow me to import and edit a script. I downloaded the free version first just to sample it and make sure it does what I need it to do. Unfortunately, the two features I'm most interested in are not features you can try before buying. I'm really sorry, but as much as the description of this app appeals to me, buying it without trying out the import and editing features is out of the question for me. I get why you don't have it in the free version, but still, there are ways you can do it. Couldn't you allow the import and editing to work in the free version for a 24 hour period? Maybe you could disable the "save" on any imported script on the free version. Game apps do things like that all the time. I'd also like to try importing and exporting television templates. Anyway, sounds like this is a really great app, but there really should be a way for people to try out all of the features before purchasing the app.

I read the above review and here's part of the problem. The predictive portion of the keyboard gets in the way. There is a way you can flip it open with your fingers so the scene menu shows up. Otherwise you can always shut off your predictive part of your keyboard by going into settings> general> keyboard> and where it says predictive just flip it to "off" mode. I just played around with it a little while ago and it works just fine. The next time there's an update they should program it so that it goes on automatically rather than trying to find a way to turn it on.
