| 2017-12-12 |  | | en | I love it! I found work around(s) for some of the buggy features it has. I read today that the develop will have to close it in December. Update 3.22.24. Make sure to save your files to work with other programs. I have a script that will not update and now I've lost it. |
| 2023-03-20 |  | | en | this is/was the greatest software/website on the market... |
| 2022-06-23 |  | | en | I really like this a lot! After I heard that Screenplay Formatter for Google Docs is going away on July 1st, I thought I wouldn't have found another screenplay website / extension! The only thing I do wish to be a feature is dark mode on YouMeScript, that is all! |
| 2020-12-11 |  | | en | Beautiful. Perfect. Dilligent. Easy. |
| 2020-12-05 |  | | en | I liked the simplicity of formatting but it is so glitchy! I wrote 66 pages and it "lost connection". Usually when it did that I hit retry now and it would reconnect and I could keep writing. But it "lost connection" and wouldn't reconnect. So I hit reload page and it DELETED all my work back to page 11! I have no way to restore it. The backups that saved everyday only backed up since page 11. So now I have lost my entire script and have no way to restore it! This is a complete nightmare! DO NOT USE. |
| 2020-09-21 |  | | en | After writing 8 pages and saving to test it, if it gets shared with other teams. Waisted 60 mins and task incomplete. The coding team needs to pull up there socks. While sharing if the app YouMeScript is clicked then automatically the screenplay should appear not a blank page. |
| 2020-02-22 |  | | en | this was exactly what I was looking for, but a problem has come up. it keeps saying backup has encountered an error and even after i reset it, it stills comes up |
| 2020-02-08 |  | | en | I'd just like to give the developers a genuine thank you. I've only just begun using this app, but it's exceeded my wildest expectations. As a broke film student, it's really hard to justify spending hundreds of dollars on screenwriting software, and with Amazon Storywriter getting the axe there was no truly good option for efficiently writing in an acceptable format. Not only does this contain all the features that I loved in Amazon's software (most importantly autofill for character names, I can never seem to remember what the heck I named them...) but so many features I would have never thought of. Where this truly exceeds anything else you can get for under $200 is the ability to link a screenplay to Drive. Even if I'm not directly tag teaming with a partner, which is either way never efficient or productive despite being fun, I have the ability to give collaborators on class projects access to an always up-to-date version of the story. I can't believe this is free, and I fully expect to patronize the developers by upgrading to premium. If nobody is paying you to write, which is likely the case regardless of your connection to this art form, you must look no further than this app! Just please for the love of God don't take this gem away... my ghastly screenplays aren't going to pay the rent any time soon. |
| 2020-02-06 |  | | en | The Best This is by far the bet screenwriting tool out there. I have used Celtx, Scriptbuilder and WriterDuet and this thing blows away all of them. Getting it to work can be a challenging at first, mostly becaue I'm paranoid about my privacy and block cookies, popups etc. But once Youmescript gets going everything feels perfect. At one point, I changed a character's name from "Danny Boy" to "Danny" and the software kept bringing up both names. I found a feature that allowed me to delete "Danny Boy" so I wouldn't have to deal with my previous choice and have not found a similar feature in any other screenwriting software. If you write scripts, you owe it to yourself to use this. Its free and for $20 you can use it offline as well. |
