Great!
After much research into studio management software I settled on Lightblue. With a bit of work, I was able to move most of my business data from a very old system into LB. this iPad app lets me access and modify my client data on the road. love it! Just wish it had a checkbook included.
Simply Brilliant!
I honestly thought light blue would just help me get a bit more organised. I’d read reviews saying it was amazing and saved hours and thought yeah, whatever.
I was wrong. It has literally revolutionised the way I run my business. Online forms and emailing direct from a shoot record has saved me hours and hours of work.
I now have a form that I use at wedding fairs that couples fill in at the stand. It creates an Enquiry shoot with all their contact details included and all the info I need about their wedding. I can then email them from my phone or PC with just a few clicks using an built in template.
For my commercial clients I have a job booking form that they used to give me all the details of a shoot including location timings requests and other notes.
This is just the tip of the iceberg and I’m discovering new ways to be more organised and save time every day.
I have the online account which backs up my database and all attachments and syncs them over five devices, so I can see up to date info on my PC, laptop, phone and iPad.
The built in calendar is superb too. Make a shoot record and it’s automatically in your calendar.
Work flows can be added to your shoot automatically and you can have different workflows for different types of shoot.
Then, when you’ve finished your shoot you can invoice the client right from the shoot record and if you’ve already sent them a quote your invoice is just a few clicks and emailed out right from light blue.
I really wouldn’t be without it.

It would be hard to run my business without light blue
I photograph 40-50 weddings a year, this App is a life saver, from the online forms to contracts, through to sending quotes and invoicing, this app is brilliant, It syncs with google calendar so I can see at a glance if i am free to take in a booking ! Worth every penny and this! iPhone app is great for when I’m on the Go !

Fantastic app
Brilliant app, so much better than the previous version! I love the software, and all that was missing was a decent mobile app! This has solved that problem! Thanks Light Blue
Finally!!
The update we have been waiting for! Well done guys this looks great.
A great companion to the desktop app.
Our business fully relies on Light Blue to help keep us organised, stay on top of finances, automatically creating our todo lists and so much more. This mobile app is a great way to access all this data when out and about!
CONFUSED
I downloaded this app...as soon as I open and it asked for a username and password. Above the squares for the username and password is a round circle with arrows pointing to the right. Now I just downloaded this app I have no account yet I assume I need to create one. And that is what I am being asked me to do. So that is what I do...I put in what I want my username and a password to be!!
I proceed by pushing the login button and it tells me invalid. I try pushing the circled arrow above and nothing happens!!! This app was pointless to even download I have no idea how to create an account there is no directions to do so. There are no reviews so I had nothing to go on, of course I would've never paid for this with no reviews!!
I just try to post this review without giving it any stars....however it will not so I have to get a one star just to be able to post this review!!! NOTE I do not want to give even 1 star!!!

Is this a scam
How do i signup its just giving me a login option and nothing else.
Great app for when out and about
This works so well with the desktop version of Light Blue. Put the data in and synchronise it and when back in the office when you fire up Light Blue it has all be synced up and updates added.
Also great for reference during shoots looking at details not immediately to hand.
Top work chaps.
