Pros/Cons
  • Pros

  • The ease in ability to separate between all the different styles within a screenplay. The name save feature is great.
  • The ability to change formats (from novel to screenplay to graphic novel to stage play) - this is the most unbelievable benefit of Celtx. A one-stop shop for story development.
  • It is very user friendly by making the complicated-looking script format look very easy. I would recommend Celtx to beginners or experts that have been writing scripts for 20+ years.
  • Cons

  • And other of the failures that i see is that just is available en english. Any scriptwriter from other language can find it confuse.
  • There is no celtx app for the ckmputer anymore and everything is online. I miss the days when there was a computer platform.
  • I would say that the worst part is that you cannot add any color or format to the texts, so you are strictly attached to one single "output" that cannot be modified.

  • Pros

  • My overall experience has been great because at the end of the day, it's how well you write, and what you can put out, that wins over the customer service and software issues.
  • All in all it is the best writing app I have used so far. It's flexible and user friendly interface makes it a very good software.
  • Very easy to use and automated formatting is superb. You have to focus on creating.
  • Cons

  • You will break even with price and have more of a reason to write now that you're forced to in a class.
  • It is more expensive than other screenwriting software, but you get what you pay for. It is the industry standard and the only thing you need besides a laptop to pursue a screenwriting career.
  • I was unfortunately rubbed the wrong way by the way my script fell apart and being told the only way to save my work was to buy the incredibly expensive, new version of the software.
