"Brilliant for formatting for university assignments"
What do you like best about Celtx?

Celtx makes formatting scripts extremely easy. As someone who has finished my creative writing degree, I used CeltX to help me understand what proper script formatting looks like, and through this I have learned how to write a script properly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

I sometimes find it difficult to navigate between different projects on the site Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jenny Fisher Schoberl of Celtx

Hi Brooke!

We're so glad Celtx has made it easy for you to learn how to format scripts — that's exactly what we aim for!

Sorry to read you're experiencing some navigation issues! If you ever find it tricky to navigate between between your projects, sometimes a quick cache clear or log out/log in can help refresh things. If it keeps happening, our support team is always happy to take a closer look — you can reach them at support@celtx.com.

We appreciate you helping us make Celtx the best it can be!

"Great software for professionals and beginners"
What do you like best about Celtx?

Celtx is a professional writing software that allows you to create and develop your stories in an easy way, helping you and guiding you through the different areas for creating story while also doing the pre-production of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

The downside is that you the free version doesn't allow you to write more than two stories and to try just a few of the other options, so you have to pay to be able to actually use its full potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jenny Fisher Schoberl of Celtx

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this feedback, we really appreciate it. I'll pass along your comments to our team!

"Amazing Platform / Easy to use"
What do you like best about Celtx?

The platform itself is easy to use and get the feel for. This was my first screenwriting software and I don’t honestly see a need to explore other options. It’s easy, gets the job done, and syncs all my work online so I don’t have to worry about losing any of my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

There’s not much to dislike about it honestly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jenny Fisher Schoberl of Celtx

Thanks so much for the kind words and the feedback, Xavier! We're so glad you've been enjoying your writing experience with Celtx, and we wish you luck in all your ventures. Never hesitate to reach out to support if you encounter any issues (support@celtx.com).

Response from Jenny Fisher Schoberl of Celtx

"Excellent product and very good support from the company"
What do you like best about Celtx?

It is a simple way to work, without interruptions, giving a logical form to your ideas and your creativity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

It's a bit complicated the way it shows you the characters in a list with the reference of the scenes. If I want to have a summary of which characters are in each scene and print it, it is done in a simple way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mike Duquet of Celtx

Thank you very much for the feedback! If there is anything we can help you with.

"Best software for both writing and planning a production"
What do you like best about Celtx?

The production tools and call sheet generating Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

not able to change scene names form the strips Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jenny Fisher Schoberl of Celtx

Thank you so much for the feedback, and for using Celtx!

To respond to your comment on changing scene names: actually, you can change them from the strips themselves! Just click on them while in your strip board and you should be able to change them right there. I'm including our help article if you need more guidance. You'll find the pertinent information under I/E, Setting, and Time.

I hope this was helpful, and thank you for being part of the Celtx community!

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

Automation in script formatting and also the possibility of graphically mapping the story, like using index cards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

Regarding the graphic mapping, I was able to improve the type of information that goes in each box. I also think it should allow more works in its free version. An interactive board for brainstorming would help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jenny Fisher Schoberl of Celtx

Thank you for your feedback and ideas - we really appreciate them! I will pass your notes along to the team.

What do you dislike about Celtx?

It is not as intuitive as I would like it to be, as you move through the different parts of a script. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We appreciate your feedback! We're always working toward a more intuitive and user-friendly journey so you can focus more on your script and less on formatting, so I'll be sure to pass your comments along to the team!
