I’m getting lots of errors in Ver. 4.05. Where do I send the details of the error logs?
Hi Tim, Bob at tech@blakesnyder.com will solve any problems.
I think it’s a vast upgrade, in so many ways, although two major things that stand out to me on my MacBook Pro Retina screen are the pixelated ‘blackboard’ background, and the similar inconsistent mix of high-res icons side by side with low-res icons with pixelated edges. It probably isn’t noticeable on an older screen.
I hope that’s fixed in future updates. Other than that, great work Bob/everyone. A beautiful and user-friendly upgrade to a great software. Very stoked to try out the TV Series mode!
Bob is no longer with us my friend….
Omg Bob and Blake disslexia…. my bad ?
Tech Support has been amazing, responding to bug reports by early the next morning. As of today, the major bugs have been squashed. This is an exciting and beautiful piece of writers’ software (and I own almost all of them). It has almost every tool you can think of to develop and track anything from a short story to a decade-long TV series or multiple-novel series. Kudos to the software architects and code-writers. Brilliant work. Blake (from my hometown, Evanston, IL) is smiling down from heaven.
Hello,
My name is Karen Niehaus and I have Save the Cat on my windows and I would like to know how can I put it on my Mac?
Thank you,
Karen Niehaus
Hi Karen,
You can download it just as you did from your PC — use this link:
https://savethecatstorage.blob.core.windows.net/downloads/SavetheCat4Setup.pkg
To install the Mac version, click on the setup package in Downloads and follow the steps.
Hi
I have version 4.0 are you able to scroll your screen up and down, side to side?
I know you can inlarge the certain sections but for some reason I’m having a hard time scrolling up and down ?
Hello
I have mac with OS 10.5 is there a Save the Cat program compatible with this version?
Hi Rue,
Sorry to report that for Version 4.0, 10.11 is the minimum we’re set for — and there is no current software compatible with 10.5.
Hope 4.0 is better than the last version. It gets very drab reviews on Amazon.
Why not take 4.0 for a spin? If you think it’s very drab, you can return for the full price within 14 days of your purchase.
Is this software suitable for TV drama? The free app only had a movie option. Or should I just adjust the number of pages and the 15 beats as I go along in the movie option?
Hi, Anna! 4.0 has separate templates for tv.
