SHOULD BE FREE for what you get!

Maybe because they are an industry "STAPLE" - they do very little to keep up to date with trends and features. WAY OVER PRICED! Should be a $4.99 app!

For Scripts

I used it when I'm writing scripts. It's good for that. For everything else, it's useless.

Final Draft is fantastic! It never crashes. Thanks for being a reliable program for screenwriters.

$150 dollars for something worse than notepad

$150 dollars, and the first thing Final Draft does is freeze, and I lose work. Not a good first impression. Worse? It keeps crashing. Fastest auto save is every 3 minutes? C'mon. Even notepad has figured out how to auto save trivial notes consistently, so you don't lose notes. Why is saving important work not automatic as the project changes? Especially since this software crashes ALL THE TIME. Isn't this VERSION TWELVE? Why does Final Draft feel like it's stuck back in 1998? If you want the frustration of using software that consistently crashes, if you're nostalgic for losing progress all the time because you forgot to save between crashes; go ahead and get Final Draft. Otherwise, I would recommend saving your money and getting anything else. A free text editor, even notepad is more reliable.

This software keeps crashing!

everytime I put a beat on the timeline goal it causes the software to crash. It's getting really bad. It use to do it once in a while. Now, it's consistently doing it.

Such a fantastic platform!

Final Draft honestly makes work on projects absolutely seemless. Its very well designed and laid out, as well as very pleasing to the eye. It gives me the ability to focus on my work without the stress of formatting, spacing, etc. on my own. Worth every cent!
