The Final Draft Reader app for iPad / iPhone is exactly that, a reader, intended for executives, agents, managers, production personnel or anyone who might not necessarily need to write or edit but require pagination that's 100% identical to Final Draft v.8's pagination (no other mobile app does this). It does give you the ability to create and edit ScriptNotes^® in the same way you would on the desktop application.

The Final Draft Writer app for iPad is a separate product (available from the App Store) that does allow you to write and edit new or existing scripts.

Only the Final Draft Reader for iPad / iPhone is able to match completely the output generated by the desktop version of Final Draft -- every page break, every A page, revised pages, title pages and more. You get on the Final Draft Reader exactly what you get on Final Draft v.8, for Mac or Windows.

The Final Draft Reader also gives you the ability to view and edit ScriptNotes^™ made in the desktop application (v.8), and ScriptNotes created or edited in the iPad application can be viewed and edited in v.8.
