Overview
BY screenwriters, FOR screenwriters.

We love using Google Docs for our outlines, bio's, and storylines, but when it comes to screenwriting, collaborating in Google Drive on the film script or screenplay itself, there just weren't any great tools.

So we wrote one: YouMeScript.

Features:
* Fast and lag-free even in long scripts.
* No sign-in, ads, or data-grabbing, ever.
* Full real-time collaboration.
* Attractive uncluttered design.
* Import FDX, FOUNTAIN, and plain text.
* Export to PDF, FDX, FOUNTAIN, and more.
* Intelligently auto-formats pasted text.
* Short-cuts for full-speed screen writing.
* Auto-complete lets you move fast.
* Edit remembered Characters / Locations.
* Multiple dictionaries available.
* Personal and per-script dictionaries.
* Intelligent element type selection.
* Auto-correction and auto-capitalization.
* Inline-notes.
* Comments with reply threads.
* Industry standard screenplays format.
* Navigation tools.

Pro upgrade features include:
* Offline working.
* Add images + gif's within the script.
* Alternative-format automatic backups.
* Competition / assignment word-counts.
* Smart links for easier collaboration.
* Basic production-script tools.

...and more every week: YouMeScript's online format means you always have the latest features, no downloads or updates needed.

So...
WHY AREN'T YOU WRITING?!

I've used this app for a few years now and have loved it. Then a few weeks ago the website can no longer be reached because they didn't renew their cyber security license and now I can't access any of my work. The developers didn't even send out a notice that they were, from what we can tell, abandoning ship. They are not responding to the issue or the complaints and they didn't warn that this was going to happen. I'm very disappointed. I'm glad I backed up my files somewhat recently but there are still notes and comments that were not exportable and those are probably lost forever.

I used the software for some months and quite liked the layout. However, a server connectivity dialogue box started popping up and it turned into a nightmare. For the last week have not been able to retrieve and save documents. Can't get support as developer's mailbox is full.

I cannot get hold of anyone to find where my draft went. I paid $20 and nothing. Just an email saying thanks but no login or register function. A scam!

This app has been perfect. I began using it on my laptop but then moved to my Chromebook that I just use for writing. I have written two scripts in the last few weeks and am putting one into production as soon as funding is secured. The fact that I can have these changes readily available to anyone else through Google Drive is an amazing feature to have as well. Thank you for this app that works exactly as it should. It has even caught some of my own mistakes and made me look amazing!

I love this app, it makes teaching screenwriting graceful and efficient. BUT I have one BIG problem with this application. It freezes when updating on a regular basis. A window comes about Connecting to Google, and it is highly frustrating especially in a classroom setting. Is there a way to avoid this problem? Is it a network speed issue? Thank you. Other than that it is a solid 5 stars, but this issue is causing me grief everyday.

This app started out as such a great thing, providing easy formatting for script-writing. However it has become an absolute nightmare. Trying to move dialogue blocks around, or even just making revisions that change paragraph length significantly, has caused so many weird fritzs within the program. I keep having paragraphs not show up when printing, or even disappearing on the screen and sometimes appearing elsewhere. Its honestly such a massive pain in the butt, and I have no idea how to fix any of it.

LISTEN BUDDY, I'M GONNA MURDER SOMEONE. I SPEND HOURS ON THESE SCRIPTS AND I'M SO CONFIDENT ABOUT THIS PROGRAM'S AUTOSAVING ABILITIES. THEN THE PROGRAM STOPS WORKING FOR WHATEVER REASON, I RELOAD THINKING ITS NO BIG DEAL, AND WHAMMO, TEN PAGES ARE GONE. THE SCRIPT WAS FIFTEEN PAGES LONG. THAT'S TWO THIRDS OF MY WORK LOST TO CRAPPY PROGRAMMING. IF YOU'RE WILLING TO ROLL THE DICE ON THIS ONE. SAVE. YOUR WORK.

I was looking for something I could access anywhere with an internet connection, and that would automatically sync to my drive, distraction-free, and with no ads. This is all those things. You don't need to know much to get started, other than the tab button scrolls through the different kinds of text you want to type (character/scene header etc). Thank you for this excellent product.

I am just beginning to write screen plays and this has been perfect for me. I can share it with people to get feed back, the automatic formatting is great, and I love the idea that I can make changes to the script while filming and everyone will have an instant update so we're all on the same page. Plus, the price is in my range. :) Having this program has been a great motivator for me to finally take my writing seriously.
