I cannot overstate how brilliant this is
When you shoot, you can mark takes and make notes on them, but also add notes throughout the take to remind yourself of small moments you’d like to use in an otherwise poor take etc.
The reports are just incredible. After each shoot you can email yourself the report which tells you exactly what parts of each TelePrompTer script were read and when, and what you thought of them. It’ll also include the storyboard shot which goes with each take, too. It’s the most perfect on-set tool to speed up editing which I’ve ever used.
But the feature above all which makes this app stand head and shoulders above all others, is the developer. They’re so responsive and innovative that they can solve any queries you may have and in my case, they even implemented changes I suggested overnight!
It earned its money back within a few minutes on the first shoot I used it on and it’s quickly becoming indispensable.

Thank you very much! The truth is that you users are a resource for me: each time I get in touch with you I discover a new way you use the app and most of the times I find your suggestions clever and useful (to the whole community of users) - so I develop that specific feature and release it to everyone. Thank you again for your words and for letting me know how to get the app better and better.
Love it!
Response from developer
Thank you very much. Next to come a big new feature: the full customization of the clapperboard, with many new fields like day/night, int/ext, dop, director, etc... You will be able to design your own clapboard with a few touches.
Great app, great support!
The support was amazing, too! Fixed my issue right away even though it was 100% my own fault!
Response from developer
Thank you very much for your kind words! For what concerns your issue, thank you for reporting: even if it's not directly related to the app, I will report it on the website and in the help view to highlight it. New features there to come (one above all: full customization of the clapboard). And if you want to advance new features, please go to www.dslrciak.it/customercare/. I'll take into consideration any suggestion :)
Good product
Response from developer
Thank you, I appreciate. Take into consideration that now you can report bugs or suggest new features online at www.dslrciak.it/customercare/.
Works well, needs a few tweaks.
It would be good if the app remembered the export email address, and the client between sessions. It may also be better to have fields for day, scene, shot and take for the recording of progress through the filming shoot.
I would recommend this app to other users, and the price can’t be beaten!
Version 3.0 update:
The app no longer advances the time once the app is open (major bug)! Still does not remember client and production between sessions, lowering usability. Needs to remember other settings like angle between sessions. Still needs to have a field order option to include the “shot”, i.e. day, scene, shot, take.
THE DEVELOPER NEEDS A BUG AND FEATURE REQUEST REPORTING PROCESS!
Response from developer
Hi, first of all thank you for your review. I'm very interested in the requests of you users because you are the ones who use it on the field (like me, actually). If you like, you can reach me at customercare@dslrciak.it to deepen the topic. By the way, I'll take into consideration your comment for the next release. Hope to hear from you soon. UPDATE 3.0 I don't understand what you mean with "no longer advances the time"... please write me to explain - because it's working fine on my test devices (and I'm using it for myself on a daily basis). For the other requests: the app is not intended to have "sessions", it works only on one job at a time. I'll evaluate the developing of a project based upgrade in one of the next releases. I'm working on a "feature and bug report" process. Hope to let you know soon.
The Best of Clapperboards!
Please make one for android too. IOS does not work well in our country :))
Response from developer
Thank you very much for you review! I'll consider developing the app for android as well... I'd like to see it come to life: maybe later this year. If you have issues (like the mail one) or have suggestions or bugs (!) please write to customercare@dslrciak.it. I'll be glad to answer and, if possible, to help.
Good for making films when you don’t have a clapper board
Overall, this is a great app for anyone making a film.
Response from developer
Thanks for rewriting your review! New features will be available soon. The most relevant of which will be the integration of a teleprompter, synched with the timecode of the clapperboard. I'm working on it right now and hope to deliver it by the end of september.
Great app compared to other options!
Response from developer
Wow! It sounds like you found a bug!!! And now I'm going to squash it ;) Thanks so much, both for the comment and for finding out the issue (I never edit the 'video' item so I didn't realize it!). I'd like to hear more from you users: I'm going to publish an email address to let you send me suggestions and bug reports. Thanks again!
