So far not impressed
I had previous version and I was forced to rebuy. No noticable improvements stand out to me. I had a horrible experiance out of the gate, was not aware you have to be an Apple Music user just to use the software (doesn't inform you, just hangs on loading).
If they were to improve the software, make it work better on phones, the text is so small that my camera can barely see it, so the slate info is essentially useless.

Response from developer
Hi Soaceman622. Make sure you've enabled access to music from the Settings app > MovieSlate > Media & Apple Music. Please email us (from MovieSlate's Help screen) if you're still having problems. Hang in there; we'll get this sorted out for you.
Works Good for me and my clients
I’m not buying any more marker boards slates since using this. I have the iPad Air 2 in a Melamount case and it serves our purposes on film shoots. No more looking for the marker, eraser, and trying to remove old marks on a clapper. I just wish they sold a wood clapper for the iPad to slide into for the real wood clap sound (not a big deal).

Indispensable
MovieSlate is an indispensable tool that fits my needs for a simple and proper way to slate, log, and sync. I use it in conjunction with Atomos (Timecode Systems) Ultrasync One and Ultrasync Blue and various iPads and iPhones. Be sure to use it with their KeyClips app.
299.00 or subscription fee?
We'll just tossed 30 bucks. Thnx
Stellar tool for set
I have been using MovieSlate since 2009 and watched it grow into an indispensable production tool. The shot logs are easy to parse and send to my editor, the app is amazingly customizable, and it saves me a lot of $ since I don’t need to buy an expensive slate. The best part? The developer is incredibly responsive to feedback and suggestions. Recently I inquired about adding a tail slate option to the app, and within a week the developer had implemented the feature! In short, this is a stellar app that continues to get BETTER with each version. 5 stars.

Perfection got even better
I am a small company and freelancer. This app is perfect. It is always with me, and is WAY more capable than my needs, but it fits the bill perfectly in its simplicity. Watching the videos from Movie Slate (there are quite a few bite size videos covering everything in simple but comprehensive detail) showed me just how robust this app is. I was upset that the older version does not work on my newer iPhones and iPad, necessitating an upgrade and another payment, but the truth is it is such a sweet price point, and the app is so helpful, I did not mind paying again. I work on a lot of very small productions, this app makes me look pretty pro if they do not have a slate on set already. On my own projects it just saves time in post, especially if I am working with multiple cameras or with scripts and other moving parts.

No TC tone
Try as I might, I have not been able to figure out how to get the TC signal to be audible so I can jam sync other devices…even though I have paid the premium. The makers maintain it’s easy but while not a Luddite, it just ain’t happening. Very disappointed in their support.
Digital Slate
Totally something worth having
