I have been using this app for over a month and I’m going to have to delete it. I downloaded it to write stories on.
I love the dark background. I like the way it stores your documents. Trying to export them to other apps is very buggy, but I don’t blame that on JotterPad.
HOWEVER, I have had several instances where I will be in a document, close it out, and when I go back in huge chunks of my writing is gone.
This has cost me hours of work, as I have to go back and re-write portions of stories over and over, as the app deletes the progress when it gets closed.
I’ve tried several methods of closing it out, from just swiping it away to actually backing all the way out of the document. It didn’t make a difference.
And there’s no rhyme or reason to which documents get chunks removed, so I believe it’s a glitch in the app itself that’s causing it to not auto save.
Very disappointing and frustrating, so it will be getting deleted as soon as I can remove my files from it.

The basics are difficulty in the fountain syntax. You can’t even delete lines. It has an order of Scene, Action, Character, Dialogue. That you have to go in. You can’t go back and change it—take out a line of action, add a parenthesis. None of it. Which means it’s only useful if you knew your script word for word, typed it out exactly correct the first time, and didn’t need to change anything or work through versions. So it makes editing or rewriting nearly impossible.

I write fiction that's based on texting, and this works perfectly.
