  waste of $20 and my soul is crying

  I cannot write an important story because this app keeps crashing every time I type a single letter. After crashing and reopening, the project saves the script in a William S. Burroughs "cut-up" method, and phrases missing all together. I don't have a lot of money as it is (my life choice of wanting to be a screenwriter), and so my heart and soul aches so much knowing I can't properly compose my work. I had to update to the Big Sur OS and my old illegally downloaded Celtx from 2010 became obsolete, hence making the leap into this super expenisve crummy software. How does one even justify spending that much money on something that doesn't actually exist. Well, I suppose because the older version has treated me so kindly over the years and I'm naive enough to think people (and the people behind art tools such as Celtx) create to help and support others, just as I strive for with my own work. I guess I'll be bad and wander the cyber streets to find an old celtx again that is compatibe with this newer OS? Yes perhaps I'll catch the clap, but that burn will be worth it for the passion of writing.

  Glitchy and Limited

  This app has been a disappoinntment and a waste of money... First, the bugs: you can't use. the stageplay format to open anything, only to create. Close your project or have it crash on you, and you will not be able to open it again, because every time you try to open a file writtten in stageplay format (American AND international). Lost 13 pages of work recently because I couldn't open it back up. Also, there seem to be quite a few features from the website missing from the app, which makes no sense to me; I paid because I wanted more specific features. The specific one that comes to mind is the dual dialogue option. That featture is only an option on the website. Don't waste your money with this app.

  The Update

  I preached about this program for many many years to my colleagues. This app was fantastic, easy to use, easy to collaborate, many features. Then the update happens. Gone are the features, gone is the easy collaboration, and gone are half of the scripts I've been working on for years. Gone as in unrecoverable, all without warning or a notification. So, my second star is for a distant memory of what used to be, and nothing more.

  Old Features

  After updating to PC Catalina, I was upset that my older version of Celtx was now unusable. I became more upset, when I realized I had to buy Celtx in order to even access my old scripts. It's infuriating to see how many of the old features aren't included in this version. Regardless of the fact that the could functions improperly. What happened to the entire Library section of the screenwriting panel?! You used to be able to see where characters were introduced, delete characters that were a typo or writing mistake. What happened to button for two characters talking simultaneously? This app downgraded so much. From a free service that was reliable and extensive to a $20 one that does nothing more than format the page into a screenplay. It's so unfortunate that I spent my money here. I would have preferred to rewrite entire screenplays into a different file format. Update the app!

  Garbage

  This app used to be great. I preferred it over any other service. But as soon as I upgraded computers and paid $50 for this new app dumb stuff started happening. It'll completely lose its auto formatting ability, and I have to manually format, which isnt the end of the world, except when It won't even do the functions its suppsoed to manually. I exported one script and the pages were all jumbled and overlapping. I had to retype it. This problem spread to other scripts which I would have to close out and hope what I had written was saved. Im super disappointed.
