"Great script writing solution!"
What do you like best about Celtx?

Celtx makes script writing fairly intuitive with the ability to list your character names, select actions and generally format a proper film script. There is very little that this program cannot do to help a budding writer get their first script off the ground. Also, it allows you to test the software for free before purchase.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

The price per month makes this a bit of an expensive solution. Though fairly reasonably priced for the solution overall if you are already running a business in this area, for someone who is just starting in film production, having extra costs monthly may prove a bit difficult.

What problems is Celtx solving and how is that benefiting you?

Celtx helped with organizing and formatting a proper film script when I was in the process of writing one a while back. Writing is definitely not for everyone, but when it comes to writing film scripts, this software was a godsend!

"Celtx review"
What do you like best about Celtx?

I think, when you writing on celtx you feel like you are flying with your word. Feel like very smooth and best thing is when you stop writing celtx save your words automatically. Highlights words, story to Screenplay, props list, storyboard, convert into PDF format, add your comments, share with your friends, add your name and also watamark, lots of things I love. I'm using Celtx last two years and still I love this and I recommend to my friends they are using Celtx and they are so happy. So thanks celtx for your support.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

After login a little bit take time to open your files. And when you share with you one friend you can't remove him.

"Best to Get Started With"
What do you like best about Celtx?

Celtx is a very simple and streamlined way to write out a screenplay. All the formatting is correct and easy to navigate.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

I don't like that they went to a modular approach of separating all the parts of the software. It used to be that you could run all of your production from the one software. But now it has different parts that aren't as functional.

What problems is Celtx solving and how is that benefiting you?

Celtx takes care of screenwriting formatting for you so you can focus on being creative. With it being entry level software it takes the guesswork out of the process.

"Great for writing on the go."
What do you like best about Celtx?

Ease of use. User interface. Mobile app.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

Lack of compatibility with Final Draft. It can be worked around and the benefits outweigh the only major downside.

Recommendations to others considering Celtx:

Use the mobile app for drafting. It’s easy to use and you’ll get through your drafts in no time with very little interruption to your ‘flow’.

What problems is Celtx solving and how is that benefiting you?

The benefits are the mobile app makes drafting easy and accessible and the UI is really easy to use and doesn’t break the flow of your writing.

"Celtx the best script writing program "
What do you like best about Celtx?

Celtx is the most user friendly script writing program I've ever seen. With connection to the cloud for access on other devices makes this program great. I was able to write, make notes. story board, schedule, all from my computer or tablet device.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

There is not much that I dislike about Celtx. Maybe among all the conversions that it proves, there could be a better copy and paste solution because if you want to share parts of a script over an email or typed conversation, Celtx will allow you to share the content over a copy/paste solution but it will paste with capital and format errors.

What problems is Celtx solving and how is that benefiting you?

Some problems involving story telling structure can easily be solved with Celtx based on the level of story but always is a great solution dealing with formatting and program ability. So many benefits have been discovered using Celtx such as easy character development and feedback notes from other contributors involved with the project.
