My App Smackdown

            The application I chose for my Smackdown is called Celtx, a writing tool that features several formats and templates for writers to work with. There is both a web version as well as a mobile version, which are both available entirely for free. That said, there are also three paid plans to choose from which include additional features that may prove useful to some. In my presentation, I run through the basics of the free Celtx and provide a demonstration of how to use the mobile version.

            Overall, I had a nice time working on this project, though there were some unexpected challenges I encountered along the way. The version of Celtx I had used before was the software version, which has since been deleted from my computer, and not the newly released web/mobile version. As a result, I had to slightly alter my presentation and learn the new set-up to better reflect the new version. Coming out of this project, I learned more than I expected due to the recent updates to the program. While I prefer the version I had downloaded and used before, I will continue to use this tool as I look to get work in the film and media industries.

  1. Hi Jake,
    I've never used this app before-- Is it only available to film students? Are there any other applications that this is like? Please let me know because this seems like a really interesting tool! Thanks.

  2. Jake,

    I have never heard of Cetx before. I think that this app seems very interesting for writers. It is nice that both the web and mobile versions are free for users.
