## Highland 2 Reviews
  ### 1. It's a great little app that helps you organise your thoughts and write flawlessly.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Fotios (Fotis) K. | Customer Support Team Lead, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**What do you like best about Highland 2?**

I particularly like sprints and revision mode. Synapsis is also great. It has one of the nicest looking themes I've ever seen which makes it very attractive.

**What do you dislike about Highland 2?**

I wouldn't say I have found something I particularly dislike. If there is one thing that I could possible change, that would probably be the app's speed. Sometimes it's slightly slower.

**What problems is Highland 2 solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It particularly helps with my focus and organizing my tasks. One thing I really like is being able to set goals. That's really good!

  ### 2. Highland 2 - A great alternative to industry standard Final Draft

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2019

**What do you like best about Highland 2?**

Ease of use, ability to take my old scripts in PDF format and convert them into editable documents - as well as output them to Final Draft.  Highland 2 is a nice addition to my screenwriting software stable. I use it as an add-on for Final Draft.  At some point, it might replace it -- but, at the moment, it's an addendum.  And a worthy one at that.

**What do you dislike about Highland 2?**

I really don't like the look of the pages when I'm working. Final Draft has a cleaner look that I prefer -- but I still find myself using Highland more than I original envisioned.  

**Recommendations to others considering Highland 2:**

For newbies, Highland 2 will probably suffice as screenwriting software.  For us old-timers, who've been using Final Draft for many years, it still doesn't fulfill all the needs of a screenwriter.  That said, it is an improvement on Highland.

**What problems is Highland 2 solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Importing PDFs is the main reason I bought the app.  I also like the watermark feature and the ability to output in both PDF and Final Draft format 
(Still essential for film and television production companies).

  ### 3. Okay, I don't use this often but...

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jude B. | Brand Ambassador, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 17, 2019

**What do you like best about Highland 2?**

The ability to convert PDFs back into screenplays. The ability to export the document as .fdx  and have it show up totally normal in Final Draft 10.

**What do you dislike about Highland 2?**

It's hard to switch between Highland 2 and Final Draft 10. While Highland 2 is aesthetically pleasing in font and general look, I think that Final Draft 10's spacing is better. It's unfortunate that more schools and companies don't encourage you to use Highland 2. It's a very pretty, comforting, and non-distracting application.

**Recommendations to others considering Highland 2:**

You can just copy the PDF into a Highland 2 document but you CANNOT copy the Highland 2 document into a Final Draft 10 document. Just save the Highland 2 document as .fdx and you're good to go!

**What problems is Highland 2 solving and how is that benefiting you?**

No problems. This program once saved me during my graduate studies. I had accidentally deleted an .fdx of my 90+ page script and only kept the PDF. This program allowed me to convert from PDF to .fdx. It saved me from having to redo my screenplay by hand.

  ### 4. Horribly nonresponsive

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 29, 2019

**What do you like best about Highland 2?**

The idea on paper of it. It promises the world but simply doesn’t deliver.

**What do you dislike about Highland 2?**

The actual Script writing. Final Draft intuitively makes the process seamless, Highland, unfortunately does not.

**Recommendations to others considering Highland 2:**

Stick to Final Draft.

**What problems is Highland 2 solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It’s made me realize how great Final Draft is.
