Makes things Easy

Our business changed and Actors are responsible for putting ourselves on tape all the time. I hated it so much & felt
so inept at it that I often would skip the opportunity...Until Slatable came along! Thank you for making it so easy that someone like me who has such a difficult time with technology in general can use it...you thought of everything! Every step is explained and the product is so Professional & exactly the parameters & guidelines that casting wants from us. Honestly, it’s a huge Relief not having to worry about that part of things so I can focus on the actual work! No more missed Opportunities! Thank you!

Thank you for the lovely review! So happy Slatable is helping you get more opportunities. We love that!

Love this app

I love this app!!!!
I audition a bunch during the week and this makes my life so much easier. It's super easy to use and I don't have to spend extra time setting it up. My agent is super happy with app and is telling everyone on her roster about it. Thanks Slatable!

That’s awesome! Thanks for the lovely review😊 Glad we can help simplify your self tapes! Break a leg!!

Fix audio please!

Worked perfectly my first audition I used it on. The second time around the playback audio kept changing the volume from high to low at random times. Hissing kept coming in and out. Tried the suggestions it has on the “help” site. My iOS is up to date and my noise cancellation is off. I recorded the audio farther away. Nothing worked. Waste of time to record the whole audition and find out later, through playback you can’t even use it. Will jump rating to a 5 once the audio is fixed.

UPDATE: We just released 2.3 which fixes this issue! Please upgrade and let us if you have any more questions or issues! Sorry you're having issues with adding audio to your audition. Please contact us at support@slatable.com and we'd be happy to get you up and running! It sounds like you're running iOS 12 but please also update the app to the latest version. You can also adjust the volume on the device itself which can help with the volume of the recorded audio.

Not compiling! Second time this app has failed me

I have done all the trouble shoots- uninstalled saved the takes- reloaded them- I have plenty of space on both my iPad and my phone and it will not make the audition compilation- I don’t have time for this my audition is due tomorrow and i don’t foresee his being fixed. Unreliable, it worked perfectly the night before last and nothing on my end changed. Super frustrating when I have a deadline.
This app is super unreliable- oh just shoot and compile your videos and send away/ does not happen. This app needs to be airtight for all versions of updates iOS. I almost missed a last minute call due to this app for the SECOND time. I shot the entire video and thinking -cool all done just edit and compile. Does not export nor does it compile the videos. I will NEVER recommend this app to anyone for fear the same thing will happen to them and they will hate me as much as I hate that I chose to use this app ever. Had to reshoot the entire thing NOT using the app. Junk!

Needs to fix the bugs

My friend recommended this app to me in the hopes it would make selftape life easier. While it is ‘free’ for basic and great to get a sense of it, you won’t actually be able to use it to submit professionally unless you pay the $21 upgrade as the basic has a watermark for the app in the corner of your video and only allows for one scene.

I would have no problem with the relatively high cost for an app if it worked and saved me time to edit everything on my phone. unfortunately in the end it took just as long as it would have had I uploaded my videos to my computer and edited there. After paying I’m disappointed.

Issues I encountered:

- it wouldn’t save my trims. I would edit my video in the app, hit save and the trims wouldn’t be saved when I compiled my video. I ended up having to edit my videos and then add them to the app.

- videos kept playing after I closed them.

- the app would glitch and close

- won’t let you make 2 tapes with the same production title, this was very frustrating as I was auditioning for 2 different parts in the same project. Even with different character names it wouldn’t allow it.

- I couldn’t access my favourites album only my videos album (as I shot all the takes before getting the app and had marked them that way to know which ones I wanted more easily, this was frustrating.)

- once the video was compiled I found it lagged ever so slightly

The title page (if it allows you to put the proper name of the project) looks very professional and if they work out the bugs the app has the potential of being an incredibly useful tool especially on the go. Unfortunately for the high cost for the upgrade right now I’m very disappointed. We’re actors and artists, a lot of us are financially struggling and paying fees and dues left right and centre before we even get to work, if you’re going to charge that much, it better work and make our lives easier.

Doesn’t work

Did all our tapes and put them together and then it stopped working. Not allowing us to submit the self tape.

Crashes and no exporting

I loved this app before the update. Now it won’t compile files - it freezes up at the ‘almost there. Just a few more seconds’ screen. I waited 10min with the app open for a 1min tape - still frozen. I did everything from restarting the app, restarting my phone, deleting old tapes - nothing and I have a ton of space. Also, it won’t allow me to export!! Please bring back my old version!

Frustrating

The usability on this app is bizarre, it seems to put you in endless loops... and the end product is not worth the effort unfortunately. Doesn't feel professional.

Response from developer

Sorry you’re having issues with the workflow of the app. We’d be happy to walk you through how to use the app. Please contact us at support as we’re always available to help!

Great App

This app is perfect for casting self tapes. Editing and transitioning between scenes is easy and looks great. Definitely recommend.

Thanks Talia! We're glad you're enjoying Slatable!

Was going so well. Till the upgrade

Was going so well. Till the upgrade. Spent the good half of my day filming a tape. Only to be unable to export the video. Tried everything and as a last resort I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it (bad idea) now everything including the archive of past tapes are gone. Fuming!
