### 1/5 — FLSA lawsuits, pay-for-exposure, read all reviews

*2019-12-13, version 2.0.7*

The App Store says there are 15 reviews. This is definitely not true, and they are definitely not weighted the way it appears.

Read on:

First: Clap Online has been sued twice under the Fair Labor Standard act (including this year). (Just search for Clap Online Inc) on Justia. For a company that claims to make auditioning easier for everyone, that’s a little concerning.

Second: you’ll do better with more cash. You can pay for more exposure. Again, not a level playing field.

Third: there appears (for my own sake, let’s say alleged, maybe, etc), to be an entire element of patent trolling in their business model. In other words, let’s file patents with the intent of getting much more established companies to pay us for it. 

Fourth: crowdsourcing is cool, but for auditions? As someone with no dog in this fight, but who is related to filmmakers, this is ludicrous. Individual directors have nuanced thoughts about characters, and “clapping” auditions to exposure makes little sense. 

Plus, you know, you can just get your friends to vote you up. Is this about talent or popularity?

Fifth: there is nothing cutting edge about this. It’s been done dozens of times. The CEO seems sketchy. 

Finally: in 2017, ClapIt held an audition for its own purposes. Guess what they paid you with? Exposure.  You were supposed to be grateful for the trip to the shoot... and I guess buy groceries with exposure?

No. This is exactly what creative communities are fighting.

### 1/5 — ?????

*2019-11-29, version 2.0.7*

Okay, I signed up (with Facebook), but it won’t let me log in. I entered my login and it made me do it again, and then it just buffered.

### 5/5 — Groundbreaking

*2019-06-19, version 2.0.5*

My best friend recently won an open call and as a result, his life changed. He lived in a small town and loved acting, yet didn’t have access to auditions. Clapit has changed all that. After he won ( by simply submitting a video of himself) he was then flown out to California and put up in a hotel while he was given a speaking role in a feature movie! Clapit paid for everything! Since then he has gotten an agent and has scored 2 more roles! Would not have happened if not for clapit...

### 5/5 — A Review After Many Claps

*2019-06-17, version 2.0.5*

When I first started using the Clapit app last year, I was weary. The idea of getting enough votes to get into the top 5 and be seen by famous directors was a questionable concept. 

However, with my experience, I’ve acted in one film where I was in a scene opposite Tony Sirico, and have another film planned later in the year which features Kurt Russel, and this is thanks to the Clapit team and their program. 

So, in turn, yes this is a crowd sourcing platform made for actors to gain a small speaking role in feature films, but with the opportunities that open to you with this, why not give it a shot?

### 5/5 — Get discovered!! Get cast!!

*2019-06-17, version 2.0.5*

A sophisticated yet simple app for those actors and aspiring actors who want to land that break in a feature film or television show/series. 

Just answer an open call with a 20 second improvised audition addressing the character brief and upload it onto the app. Then have friends, family and the clapit community clap/vote on your submission. Pretty simple and who knows where it’ll take you. I’ve been flown to LA and New York, where to next. 

This new improved app simplifies the audition and casting process in the comfort of your own environment. So good luck everyone and enjoy the sleek new look and audition today. 👏🏼👏🏼💜

This app is a Godsend. I'm so excited to be able to audition for roles for which I would never have had the opportunity otherwise. So user friendly too!

### 5/5 — CASTING MADE FAIR (AND EASY!)

*2019-06-16, version 2.0.5*

I love this app! It has led to so many opportunities and I know the democratic “claps” make things equal for all!!

### 5/5 — The future is now!

*2019-06-16, version 2.0.5*

Honestly, I hope this is the future of the entertainment industry! Clapit is revolutionizing the business by empowering  actors and actresses, helping them
get seen and allowing them to watch themselves be seen. Great concept and an exciting rethinking of the casting process!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2019-06-15, version 2.0.5*

My friend is trying to get in the business and I have seen the hassle and expense of the go-sees. Saw her using this app the other day. I think it’s an amazing way to get your shot at Hollywood regardless of where you live. I have fun just checking out the auditions and clapping for the ones I like. Love this app for how it is going to make people’s dreams come true.
