Awesome Tool
This app has saved me countless hours sitting in front of an excel speadsheet (which I don't know how to use) trying to put together call sheets.
It does take a little playing with to learn but once preproduction is ready, just put everything into the app and create your call sheets way ahead of time making adjustments when the schedule calls for them.
Gives your crew and cast advance schedules for days out on their call sheets once you put everything in.
Best $10 I spent in film school for preproduction and has come in handy as an AD and line producer on over a dozen short films. Pick this up!!! It, combined with a few other basic apps (weather and sunrise), can help your workflow on a film go easily if you're in the production department!!! Well worth the $10.

Love this!
Very happy with the app and have emailed customer service a few times... As I am not technology savvy... And they always get back to me quickly! Most of the issues that I thought were bugs are not. I just didn't understand how to use the app. Now that I figured it out and have used it for a few productions I am hooked. I would highly recommend!!! It's made my life as a producer much easier.

Buggy
The idea is great. Would be useful if not for the bugs i've experienced. After filling in the fields and preparing email to send out to cast & crew, ALL information regarding their call time, pick up time, Hair & MU call time etc. disappeared. Fields are now blank despite going back into app & triple checking that the info is there. Won't be an effective app until updates happen. Do not waste your money or prepare to be frustrated. I have emailed the company and am awaiting a response. Will update my review if/after they help resolve the issue.

Improved dramatically
I used this to handle a very fast moving two week shooting schedule and it performed excellently on my iPad 3. The developers responded quickly to my questions during the production and their improvements since have given me confidence I would be able to handle whatever my next project throws at me. Once I was able to add people who were not on my contact list the application became what I expected it to be.
In today's hand-held production environment I feel this tool moves the production process right out of the paper world and into the real world of connectivity and quick response. It was the right app for me back then and I will be suggesting it to others as things advance.
Also liking the new iOS7 style.
In future it might be nice to compile all the distributed calls into a single PDF record to archive for the production.

Love It!
This App is just what I needed.
Extremely helpful!
Such a great resource! I've shared this with other film professionals and they have been nothing but pleased with this new app. Very accurate and it saves a lot of time.
Buggy and Hard to navigate...
This app couldn't even help me run a five day shoot. Actors names disappeared. It crashes without saving and they have the temerity to advertise their product on the bottom of the call sheet.
DONT USE THIS!

1st AD for "Cold"
Excellent app that is easy to use and awesome customer service! They got back to me ASAP on a question I had, which was appreciated because we were on such a tight timeline.
Nowhere near enough control
Working on a small indie production, the amount of blank space in the final sheets looks like amateur hour. If a section, like SPECIAL FX, MISC EQUIPMENT or TRANSPORTATION is left blank, it should not appear AT ALL in the sheet. We should at least have the option to remove the sections manually. All in all, it's like an excel sheet I can't really edit, but with the nice bonus of working well with my contacts list.

Cool and Easy
Loving this app. I do a lot of one day shoots for various corporate clients and promotional videos. Being able to grab info directly from my phone and load it right into the app has saved so much time and energy. It’s a great way to organize your projects and your shoots so that there is no missing info. I do a couple of test emails with the call sheet to myself, making sure everything is in place and when it’s all good, off to cast and crew it goes. Nicely done.
