Absolutely love it
Took me a while to find an app that would work for me. This works so well. Clean and easy to set up and use. Could you please set up half days with the ability to add overtime. Also invoice type would be a handy option as clients often request PAYG in bold letters in the title.
Keep up the great work you legend!

Must Have for Film Crew
I work mostly in TVCs and this app is perfect to keep track of my hours and the gear I used. Shows me an overtime breakdown with the correct penalties, flags when I might break turnaround, etc. The invoicing features are super useful, I do all of my invoices directly in the app and can easily send them from my phone right after a job. The amount of time it saves me makes the yearly subscription well worth it.

Tool I use daily
An amazing app that has had a lot of thought and care put into it. A must have for film crew!
Excellent app to make time tracking and invoicing in the Film industry easier.
Brilliant app for anyone in the film industry.
It’s simple to use, is updated regularly and if necessary, support gets back to you promptly. You put in the details and it does the calculations for you, overtime, kms, superannuation. You then generate and send a clear, detailed invoice, that makes you look far more professional than you feel.
I cannot recommend this app enough. If paperwork and invoicing is your nightmare get Crew Call and save a tonne of time and stress.

My life just got a little simpler
I would go as far as calling it an essential tool for any freelancer in the film industry.
It’s more accurate and faster at calculating OT, NL, GST and so on compared to me and my note pad, calculator and that vague memory of last week’s shoot.
Love it and will keep recommending it!

Completely overpriced
$70 a year! Are you kidding me. When it was at $40, that was barley acceptable. I’ve been using for a few years, it’s ok. When I originally purchased the app, it was the best thing on the market, but it’s still not great by any means. You got to work around some of it’s limitations to get the correct information in. The updates have been helpful, but the app is far from perfect. $70 is totally greedy. The app must have been developed by film tools.

Best app ever
Amazing. Saves me so much time!!!!
Compulsory app for film/tv/commercial crew
This app is a complete game changer. I use this app to track all my job hours, overtimes, travel times and also the button that adds automatic afternoon tea at the end of the day. Being able to save all my rates and gear rental so you can automatically add it to a job.
The new feature of being able to track your distance driven makes log booking for my work vehicle so easy come tax time.
I use it mostly as a freelancer, but when I’ve done long-form work it makes weekly timesheets very easy.
Also the creator of the app is very easily contacted and always updating the app with new features.

Makes The Invoicing Stage of a Job a Breeze
This app has made my life so much easier. I’ve been working a bunch of TVC’s back to back and logging the times and having it calculate overtime has saved me so much time when it comes to invoicing. No more half filled out start and end times in the notes app and spending hours after the job doing math. I’ve recommended it to everybody I work with! Thanks so much for making this, I don’t know how I lived without it before!

Great functionality and easy to use
Crew call has been a game-changer for my time tracking on set, but has really come into its own when invoicing for commercials and dailies. The straightforward and editable OT rules take all of the stress out of billing for weird hours. The developer is also pretty active in improving and adding to the app. Well worth thr subscription!

By film crew for film crew
Really great app, especially for those of us working on commercials and dailies. You’re going to wind up writing down your call and wrap times, the gear you used etc in your phone’s notes anyway so why not use crew call? It’s faster & much more detailed. I like how it calculates overtime for you: I find it very useful at the invoicing stage. Plus the developer is always adding useful new features that just make sense. Quality software for film and TV professionals

What an app!
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for and allows me to manage my time so efficiently. Defiantly a go to app for me.
Good stuff!

Crew Call review
I like the app, it does exactly what I need, and if in the future I am in a position to use the other features then I will.
I should mention that in my experience utilizing the slider bar for the time scale component can be difficult, very small adjustments using your finger have to be made to choose the exact time you need.

Doesn’t make easy what needs to be made easy
Day rate / 12hr guaranteed
is what is most common in the film industry. You get a number for that day rate, let’s say 400 for the day. The first 8hrs of your day is straight pay at 1x hourly rate, but the remaining 4hrs (too add up to 12) are at a 1.5x hourly rate, calculating up to that 400 total. OT beyond that is then at 2x hourly rate, but this app asks for an 8hr rate (or something, it’s not clear and it’s not changeable, it’s just grayed out)
What just about everyone needs help with is figuring out what your straight time hourly rate is to make sense of what makes that 400 even at a 12 hr day is in the first place (any time shy of 12 still = 12 hrs in the industry) this is needed so that you can figure out how much they owe ya beyond the 12 hrs that you had worked. This app either does not do that, or is designed so poorly that it’s not clear how to do that.... can’t we just put a day rate for a 12 in a slot and have it do the math? Is there any app out there that does this anymore? There was a good one years ago called wrap time, but it’s gone now and this app has earned 1 star from me for getting my hopes up and letting me down.

Awesome, almost exactly what I need!
Would be great if you could include a section about expenses per shoot like travel etc and whether you've sent your invoice or not and if they've paid or not. Thanks for your hard work!
Response from developer
Thank you for the great feedback Kevin! Adding receipts to each work day is something that is definitely on my to do list and will come in a future update. I’ve also felt the itch for a invoice sent / invoice paid toggle, I’m a touch hesitant to introduce it as Crew Call is primarily a time keeping app which may confuse things. Let me think on it some more, I suspect I’ll figure out something that makes sense and will find a good way to work it in. I appreciate your time, glad to hear you’re enjoying it so far! Update 01/07/21 Yesterday I launched V1.6.1 which allows you to mark jobs as Sent or Paid, a great addition based on your suggestions Kevin, thank you!

Incredible app. It has absolutely everything you need to be able to track your hours and work times.
The layout and usability is amazing too, it makes rather hard calculations (penalty rates, gear etc) very straightforward.
Essential for individuals and also film depts who are on long jobs, keeps everyone in the loop.
Highly recommend! You won’t regret the purchase.

Clunky interface
Difficult to use, I just want to check my time and get bombarded with irrelevant questions. The invoicing function doesn’t work for how I invoice jobs.
Seriously. You need this!
This is perfect for any film crew. It has everything I thought I needed and heaps of things I hadn’t even considered!
Buy it and avoid the forensics required when you’ve not taken billing notes during the shoot.

This is a game changer
For years I’ve wanted a tool to manage my time and equipment on-set but have never found anything suitable. Everything else has little quirks and requires work arounds. This app just works. Noting times is fast, equipment is easy to discount and the reports are useful and look great. Love it!
