Had to revert with Highland 2 bc this version is constantly crashing. Thankfully, I back everything up. Disappointed. Also the iPhone companion is buggy. Three stars bc I am a huge fan of Highland 2, though.

FD crashed one too many times, decided to finally try another screenwriting program. Highland is interesting and has some definite advantages (like the shelf), but ultimately, it just doesn’t work for me. The big selling point in the provided how-to guide is that you won’t hit tab anymore to change script elements. That’s true, but now you’re holding down shift or hitting caps lock to activate character slugs, or typing >>> to get to transitions. Not a big deal, but not really an improvement over something I never had a problem with. I’m not a fan of the plain text screen you do all your writing in, you have to switch to the final view to see where your words actually land on the page. Finally, bolds and italics NEVER worked for me while in flow — inevitably I would have to go back and highlight as opposed to hitting command-I or B while actually writing. All of this was bearable for the first few months, but the recent Mac OS update has made the program as unstable as FD, and even slower too. I’m sure it will get patched, the Highland support team is great, but this just didn’t work for me. Encourage everyone to try it for themselves, but I’m back to the devil I know.

The Mac app recently has gotten SUPER buggy. Keep crashing in mid type. Weirdly during a new slug line entry. Pls fix. Forcing me to go back to Final Draft.
