What is Fade In Mobile?

Fade In Mobile is a separate app for iOS (iPhone/iPad) and Android available for purchase ($4.99 USD; there's also a free version to try out called Fade In Mobile Basic). While it doesn't provide the full range of features of Fade In Professional Screenwriting Software, Fade In Mobile does offer streamlined viewing and editing functionality for reading, writing, and editing on the go.

Where can I get it?

Fade In Mobile Basic: Android or iPhone/iPad

What's the difference between Fade In Mobile and Fade In Mobile Basic?

Fade In Mobile Basic is essentially a free trial or demo version of Fade In Mobile. While you can create new screenplays with the free version and edit them on your device, screenplays imported with the free version are read-only. If you try Fade In Mobile Basic, like how it works, and plan to use it with real writing projects, you'll probably want to upgrade to the full version of Fade In Mobile.
