Can’t hear the clap and can’t change volume
Downloaded it, set up frame rates and how to alter text, worked out how to clap… but it’s really quiet, so no chance of a neck mic picking it up and having read through the (very hard to find) instructions, it just says that the system will control the volume and I don’t seem to be able to turn it up at all?! Useless, and pretty embarrassing in front of a client.

Digislate is a nice app
You can do different sounds of the digislate in settings in this app
Good app but some improvements could be made
The overall functionality of the slate is good and there is a built in quick manual / information screen on how to use the app, but there are a couple major flaws which could be easily addressed by the developer. There is no way to increase the volume of the clap from inside the app. i had to exit the app and go to another app with sound and increase the volume to maximum. After doing this I could go back to the app and get the clap at full volume of the ipad. The clap can be initiated via volume buttons but use of the lower volume button will lower the volume of the clap, but the reverse for the increase volume button is not so repeatedly have to exit the app and find some other clip with volume to reset. The scene increment only seems to work with a single finger swipe through integer numbers and not as the app says to two finger swipe to do number letter scene increments. Lastly, the timecode display option will only do 100ths of a second in time of day mode. It will do frames in the timecode, but there is no option to set the time of day with frames. Again, this is not ties to any real master timecode generator so the frames would not be accurate anyhow. Instead of using the volume buttons to avoid the changing volume issue is possible by swiping across the screen to initiate the clap, but getting your hand in front of the slate when clapping is just bad technique.

AMAZING APP with a very tiny flaw
This app is everything i needed and more but syncing audio is hard with the clap vanishing the second it claps. If it remained on screen for a second after the clap it would make it a thousand times easier for audio syncing. That is really my only pet peeve with it and I use it daily on the film sets that I am apart of. I have recommended it to a few of my friends and even the directors have said it has sped up production with us no longer having to find an EXPO marker.

Decent
Not very intuitive for such a simple app.
Also I am unable to control the volume of the slate.
Soft clap is inaudible
