Elegant, Simple, and Powerful
Of all the screenwriting apps Ive tried, this is my favorite by far. Once you learn to write in fountain (its really not that hard; I promise), writing in Highland becomes intuitive. I hate having to tab through different screenplay aspects and becoming distracted by how your writing appears on the screen. It hampers the creative flow. Most of the other screenwriting apps out there are so busy and complicated, filled with cumbersome extras in order to make it appear its worth the high price. With Highland, you can just write and write and then convert it all into screenplay format at the end of the day. Fantastic. And because you write in plain text, you can write in pretty much any word processor and easily paste it into Highland. I often write scenes in Evernote on my phone when Im away from my computer, and then just paste it into Highland later. Ive never had any problems with this process.
And thats just the writing portion of this app. The ability to convert files between PDFs, Final Draft, and fountain plain text is amazing. Thanks for making a great app!
