 Aren't Newer Versions Supposed To Be Better? April 23, 2004

I've been using Final Draft for a number of years now, back to version 4.X, and always liked it. Version 6 has been a real winner, with a few annoying quirks. When given an opportunity to upgrade to version 7, I thought, "Great, I'll do it." I'm sorry I did. FD7 may turn out to be a good update to a good program, but as it is now it shouldn't have been released. Just a couple examples -- when I switch to the index card view, I get a screen full of blank index cards, even though I'm many pages into my script. What gives? It's much less convenient to access Scene Navigator and Index Cards in FD7, and as another reviewer wrote, the Go To function doesn't work properly. What a disappointment. So now I'm back to using FD6, which is so much better. I'll be on the lookout for updates that might make FD7 at least usable, but until then I'll stick with FD6. You should do the same.
 Disagree with the other reviewer. No crashing problem. April 19, 2004

The first reviewer says that this program quits whenever "go to" is used. Not with me. Works like a charm in OS X. Maybe he needs to reinstall or check something else. Everything going good so far.

I just bought the upgrade on March 31st and was very disappointed. Perhaps the worst thing about it is the fact that using the "go to" feature to jump from one page to another causes the application to "unexpectedly quit". This happens EVERY time I do so, which makes the act of writing a screenplay on it totally impossible for users of mac OS X. Hopefully there will be an update coming down the pike soon, but how long it will take is anybody's guess. I'm back to using Final Draft 6. So a word of warning before jumping in too soon (like me), wait until the update before you purchase if you're a mac user.
