<3 arc studio but this app is buggy

I love arc studio but this app is extremely buggy for the iPhone. Really frustrating, if you have something that’s “misspelled” (for me it was a unique name, not misspelled) your cursor will continually fly back to the misspelled word when you press the space bar, which is all the time. It sometimes also bugs out when text carries over to another page. Again love arc studios it’s great for your computer but this app just needs some fixing. It’s so frustrating. Please fix arc studios !!! <3<3

Bugs make the app unusable

Too many bugs to mention, adding up to an unusable editor that randomly moves the cursor around inside a line and changes focus to other parts of a page. The most basic functionality is broken. These issues have persisted for months.

App nearly unusable on iPhone14

The most recent update throws me to the bottom of the script each time I press “return”. Clicking on “Contents” to quickly get me back to the scene I was working on will also put me back at the bottom of the script no matter what scene I select. I cannot edit my script like this. Last time I used this app on my phone, it worked just fine, although it’s been a long while since I’ve used this on my phone. However, in its current state, I’m having a hard time using this app and one of the biggest reasons I subscribed to Arc was because of the app. Will re-evaluate when there’s an update. Happy Thanksgiving & Indigenous Peoples Day

iPhone version kinda unusable

I enjoy Arc for the most part. But the iOS version is currently unusable. I have the Pro Max and I can barely make out the text on screen it's so small. The setting to make text bigger is restricted too because of "the screen size" which is a bit ironic. The app itself, and this kinda goes across all versions even the Mac, it's... "bouncy". Not sure another way to put it. Things bounce all over the screen. They disappeared and then reappear, sometimes they disappear and reappear at different parts of the screen. All around it's extremely difficult to use to even read the script your wrote on the Mac. Switching back and forth between views things just jump all over the place. If I go to contents then back to documents, I'm in a different place in the script. Why? Actually testing it now it's kinda funny, it moves 2 pages up in the script every time I nav back to the script. Clicking on the comments nav bar button does nothing except show you a couple carrots at the top, I suspect it's supposed to take me from comment to comment but it doesn't. Nothing moves here at all when it should lol. This app needs some major polishing. Features are there but usability is not. It's decent to use on Mac but still suffers from odd bouncing and window and sidebar formatting issues in a big way.

Better than FD Mobile

As a longtime user of FD mobile, I finally had enough of the bugs, glitches, crashes, data loss, and “shake to undo”. So I switched over to ASP and I’m fairly happy. Most of the experience is better. I haven’t had any crashes or sync conflicts with the desktop app. I feel more secure than when I was using Final Draft, but that’s the bare minimum and (in FD’s case) completely unacceptable for the biggest screenwriting software. But this is a review for ASP, and thus here are my thoughts: It’s a decent screenwriting app with all the features you’d expect, plus stability that should be standard. I don’t love paying a subscription, but at least it covers both desktop and app. There’s really not much to say other than it scrolls nicely, formats well, syncs fine, and just works. It’s a somewhat smooth experience with a few bumps, partially due to the following issues: -Due to the categorization separating line types, it is not easy to delete or select whole chunks of text on mobile. Desktop works fine for that but I don’t always have my computer or a keyboard. -This categorization also can result in some wacky spacing between lines, which doesn’t seem to be reflected in the actual exported draft, thankfully, but it’s still annoying. -You can’t view alternate drafts, and most of the OPTIONS UI still goes off the screen or disappears when you want it to stay. It used to be the desktop version’s UI, where all of the options would just run off the edge of the screen, so this is an improvement. -A recurrent issue is that keyboard is permanently on screen and I cannot scroll to the very last line I have written. This is a huge headache on mobile and needs to be fixed ASAP. -Export seems to be broken in the sense that you have to export as the default name it gives the file, then rename it later or the file will fail to save. Maybe this isn’t a common issue, and certainly not a desktop one, but it has affected me multiple times to where I just accept it. -Can’t see page numbers until you export.
