Description
Fountain is the first fully native screenplay editor purpose-built for iOS and iPadOS, loaded with deceptively powerful editing, viewing, outlining and exporting tools. Fountain uses the Fountain screenwriting language, a flavor of Markdown which lets you write naturally, without worrying about pesky formatting.
FAST · Fountain is fully native, meaning no webviews, no hangs, and no hiccups.
DISTRACTION-FREE · Fountain puts the most important tools for writing, formatting and exporting right at your fingertips.
EFFICIENT · Native parsers slice, dice & display your content instantly - with minimal impact on battery life.
PORTABLE · Fountain uses standard Markdown documents which you can read -- or write -- with any text editor. Your data is yours.

Ratings and Reviews
Awesome little app
FINALLY. The lack of simple no-strings-attached screenwriting apps on the App Store has always been strange to me. This app is simple and does exactly what it says. And it’s FREE. I wish more apps were like this. Sure, if you want a million features and beat boards and “character analysis” (whatever that means) then by all means pay $10-$100 for something else. But if you’re ready to get writing…this app is for you!!

All you really need in a SW tool
Ever since Highland 2 happened, I have never been able to adapt to any other. I say adapt becaue I use only iPad Pro and there is no support for Highland 2 on iOS (despite them promising they have it on their “Roadmap”).
The simplicity and the functional value that i see with Fountain is very promising. Looking forward to some basic tweaks, but overall very happy with this app.

Fast
My review of Fountain as a professional screenwriter: get it. It’s free. It’s the fastest and least buggy tool I’ve used on iOS. It’s missing features but I emailed the developer and he/she replied right away saying they’re adding the feature I wanted (support for research notes). Did I mention it’s free?
