Screenplay is a game changer
Screenplay by Black Mana Studios is an absolute game-changer. The platform is clean, intuitive, and clearly built by people who understand storytelling and the creative process. Everything flows smoothly, making it easy to focus on writing instead of fighting with the software. Whether you’re outlining ideas or refining a finished screenplay, the tools feel thoughtful and purposeful. What really stands out is how professional yet approachable it feels — powerful features without being overwhelming. It’s clear a lot of care went into the design and functionality. If you’re serious about screenwriting and want a platform that supports creativity instead of slowing it down, Screenplay by Black Mana Studios is well worth your time.

Really Like
I love this app. I can go in at any time and add to my scripts. The only problem in BMS tries to access my folder. It offers to tap Allow, but there's not one for Don't Allow. If this continues, I will delete the app.

Concept
I like the overall concept of this app, my main issue with it is that it hasn't been updated since ios6, so it looks awful, has no ease of use like apps produced within the last year, and completely needs redone so that it doesn't look like I'm writing screenplays in 2012

Almost perfect..
The formatting is off when exported in .txt. If exported in .fdx, you must purchase an additional app to view it on iphone..

More exporting options of files
This app has a lot of potential but he needs more exporting options and more security on the things that is written
