I used it while taking screenwriting courses in film school and it made life so much easier.
I have tried several screenwriting applications from Movie Magic Screenwriter, to plugins/templates for applications like Word and Word Perfect and Final Draft was the best and most accessible one I used. I really, really want to try the Final Draft iOS app. Too bad since it would be a great tool for use on portable devices as well and being able to sync projects automatically would be a real bonus. I found no signs of an iOS app either in existance or in development. As an old Word percfect fanatic, I found this annoying, but it is pretty much an industry standard by now. the PC version has the advantage of using rtf format which converts to Word format easily, which is the format most editors, agents and publishers want submissions in theese days. If there is a Mac version, I highly recommend Mac users try it out. I think that there is a Mac version, though I am not sure since I got the application through Sourceforge and not directly from the developer's site. Someone also showed me The Guide 2.0 which is a two pane outliner tool, also free and seems signifigantly more powerful than Treepad Lite.
No iOS version and no sign of one coming.
It uses a two pane tree-based system and is pretty good for a free tool. I think that there is a Mac version of Treepad Lite which is a great organizational tool for writing. Perhaps I will get some sighted help installing just to be sure it is not accessible once installed. I tried getting the Scrivener trial version for PC, particularly since they are supposed to still be working on a version for iOS, but the installer itself is not accessible which does not bode well for the program itself.
