Time back in on set vs 30 min lunch for total hours. This is a major flaw imo. Unless I’m missing it somewhere in the settings but I didn’t see a way to change it. ### 5/5 — Easiest Rate Caculator Out There! *2019-09-03* I've tried all manor of time card calculation, and this app is the easiest one that I've come across so far. Easy to use, and has a lot of options that make it useful for non standard situations such and NDB or 2nd meal. ### 5/5 — Genius!!! Love this app!! *2017-03-24* I am so bad at doing the "clicks" for accounting and figuring out my OT and meal p. This is so amazing! The fact you can rotate it and send your timecard to yourself or whoever is so cool. I also work on a few shows and like the ability to send a total for all the Shows for the week/month or custom. This is honestly the best app if you work in the film industry. **Developer response:** I am happy you enjoy the app! I use to work in the industry so I totally understand what you mean by figuring out the OT and MP, as well I am happy to hear you are using the rotate feature.
