I haven't tried it, but I'd imagine it would be not-as-great as the desktop version. It's probably been designed so you can still write when you're 'on the go.' So when you're sitting on a train, bus or plain you can simply whip your iPad out and continue writing in a more portable way. Just what I think.

Too late to answer your question but one thing I have asked them to upgrade is that you can't export as a PDF, only FDX.
Maybe other apps can help, but so far I export to Dropbox then import into my computer and convert.
Obviously this means I can't write and then someone a PDF,which is a shame but actually most of the time it's just me writing, a,ending which I can do easily
May not be for everyone but I find it has really helped be write on the iPad which I always have with me.
Like now, I have a script to re read, check, etc and if I make changes I can do it now, then forward to Dropbox

Back to FD, I have a bluetooth keyboard on my Ipad and it was just like using a desktop, most of the FD keyboard functions work like tab etc so found it easy to use.
Bill, you are correct and export to PDF would be handy so you dont need to transfer to the desktop. ATM this is probably the only thing I could pick on.
It is much cheaper than buying the desktop version.
I understand the good people at FD are hard-working folks like the rest of us (the rest of yous people anyway), but $30 for an app and that's on sale?? $50 for the full thing? I'd almost rather go to an antique store, buy an old typewriter, ink, and paper and hold the thing in my lap while I'm OTG than shell out all that.

This is off subject but I didn't wanna start a new thread.
Wen I got an iPod 2 years ago, I bought a couple of screenwriting apps to try. Long story short, it was a pain trying to write on the tiny screen and both apps had a few bugs.
Fast forward to now having an IPad. I moved the apps across to it - 'just in case' - though my usual writing method is to do it by hand in a notepad then copy it to my software on the computer.
Anyway, have just started a new script and was tinkering with an index card app, as well as hand writing. Thought I would try it on one of the old apps and, wow, it has been updated and works very well!
It's called Scripts Pro, think its a couple of bucks. Very simple to use, and it exported a nice PDF when I sent an email with a few pages to Ryan. If you are looking for a cheap mobile app, the I recommend it. The latest update was in December and it is like a brand new app now
Cheers and its great to be off my arse and writing some new stuff again!
dont know about the mini, but i have to say i think FD on the ipad is great. its simple, only has the basics but so far no issues with writing somethign then importing into FD proper on the mac.
in fact i like the simplicity more than the full package.
