Crashy

App keeps crashing while using in combo with an ipad as the prompter and a iPhone as the player. I made sure to follow the directions to disconnect the wifi and enable airplay. Didn’t help.

Not a movie slate

It’s OK. You cannot customize anything without paying for it. If you want to use it for movies you’ll have to pay, otherwise it doesn’t make sense to use.

Response from developer

Yes, exactly: it’s a professional tool and you have to pay to use the advanced features (the slate is free)! I don’t know how much you expected to pay for a professional tool, but here the deal is no more than 10 dollars… Anyway I’ll be glad to reply to your feedback at customercare@dslrciak.it.

Why a horrible pixelated digital clock?

Why on earth is the only option for the clock this horrible, hard to read, blocky digital clock. Why not offer some cleaner, easier to read options under settings?

Feature rich, elegant UI, ease of use. Amazing value.

Update:
The iPad version allows for making code markers during the recording which is v helpful.
The iPhone version does not.

For podcast recording I like to use my iPhone as the clapper board.
But the neat time code feature doesn’t appear to be included.

Am I missing something?

It’s still an awesome app.

Every now and then an App takes my breath away, not often, but just enough to maintain my faith. This digital clapper board has plainly been developed by a person who understands the triumvirate of videography, technology and user interface design. The details demonstrate this is a master craftsmen at work. - customizing the clapper board info - changing tones - writing scene notes - using the phone as a slave or master making this an autocue device - and the downloadable story board template .png which is then reimported once modified. Genius. [note to developer - it would be neat to be able to reorder scenes once imported. ] I like this so much I’ve added it to my Home Screen. Dev - One more neat feature would be for this to run on the iMac desktop [i tried] then it could be used for screen recordings too.] I did try other Digi boards. The in app ads will drive you nuts. If you value what you’re filming, invest in this app.

Glitchy

While on the storyboard page, the screen randomly animates upward leaving only the bottom half of the app visible and the lower half of the screen black with no way to set it right other than to close the app and reopen it only for it to happen again.
