John August unveiled new features and a fresh interface at a launch event in Los Angeles on June 12th.
LOS ANGELES, June 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The team behind Highland 2, the Mac writing app from The Quote-Unquote Company, led by acclaimed screenwriter and novelist John August, revealed their most ambitious update since they released Highland 2 in May 2018. Highland 2.5 is loaded with new features making it a one stop shop for your writing needs.
The event, which counted with top Hollywood writers among its attendees, showcased new updates and templates to bring the app's unparalleled screenwriting experience to all forms of writing. August presented new features that continue the app's legacy of making better tools for all writers.
"I'm particularly proud of the user interface we've developed for Highland 2. It feels like a 2019 app, not something dragged up from the 90s" says August, whose screenwriting credits include Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Big Fish, Aladdin and the Arlo Finch book series. "The new features in Highland 2.5, which releases June 12th, let you stay in the app even through revisions".
Highland 2 delivers on the promises made in the app roadmap and also incorporates feature requests and feedback from its thousands of users.
Some of the most relevant new features that come with this update are:
Revision Mode: Track changes using different colors and stars in the margin. Colors and stars appear in the editor and are optional on your exported PDF.
