## What is FilmTouch™?

This remarkable app can read and understand most of your PDF callsheets and crew lists. 
It then pulls the names, and contact information of your coworkers and stores them in a searchable list of all your jobs.
● FilmTouch is a callsheet tracker and contact manager for the film industry.
● And it's PRIVATE. When you import files into FilmTouch™ you're the only one who can view them. You can't use this app to share callsheets & crew lists with anyone else, therefore you're not violating your NDA or production rules by using it.
● You can search within a list to help you filter out the results; like when you're trying to find the medic in a list of 75 crew members.
● You can import PDF callsheets and crew lists from Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive, Box, OneDrive, Adobe Creative Cloud and any other app that integrates with the iOS file system.
● Multi-Day Support - Jobs are now split into separate days so you can see which crew & vendors appeared on a certain day.
● Please note: Callsheets and crew lists need to be text-based PDF's. (Unfortunately FilmTouch can't read scans or photos, and OCR is not reliable enough). And the app can understand roughly 80 to 90% of callsheets & crew lists, but there are some with unusual formatting that it can't yet import.

### 5/5 — The best App and tech support

*2026-06-28*

I’ve been using FilmTouch for more than 10 years, and the support I received from Andrew was outstanding. He went above and beyond to help me recover more than 350 jobs that were stored on the server. I honestly thought they were gone, but thanks to his persistence and expertise, everything was recovered.

Kudos to Andrew and the FilmTouch team for their exceptional customer support. It’s rare to find a company that stands behind its product and genuinely cares about its users.

FilmTouch has been an essential part of my workflow for over a decade, and I look forward to using it for many more years. Thank you!

### 2/5 — Erased all my previous call sheets

*2026-05-14*

This app erased all my previous call sheets so it’s useless now. I waited 3 months for a response about call sheets not being able to upload and now this. What a shame bc when it is working, it’s amazing. Never again.

**Developer response:** Our bad! So sorry. We had a bug in iOS 26 that was preventing callsheets from importing from the Mail app. But we've fixed the bug and submitted the app for review and distribution (4/14/2026). We apologize for the inconvenience.

### 2/5 — No longer works

*2026-01-22*

What happened? Since this year, it stopped importing call sheets. Now it’s unusable. Can someone explain what’s happening and any plans to fix this?

**Developer response:** Our bad! So sorry. We had a bug in iOS 26 that was preventing callsheets from importing from the Mail app. But we've fixed the bug and submitted the app for review and distribution (4/14/2026). We apologize for the inconvenience.

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

*2024-10-23*

Absolutely incredible app. Just spectacular. I’d pay any amount of money for it. Makes my life so easy.

### 1/5 — Help! Please email me

*2024-05-15*

I’ve uploaded call sheets and they’re not showing up in jobs and I have no way to reach you since the email button doesn’t work!!!

**Developer response:** So sorry your callsheets weren't showing up for you, and I didn't know the email button wasn't working for you. If you can't reach us through Account > Questions, then feel free to email me: support åt filmtouch døt com.

### 1/5 — Waste of money, doesn’t work on iPhone 15

*2024-03-08*

Literally, does not work. Very irritating I can’t get a refund

**Developer response:** So sorry you had this issue! And I'm sorry it took me this long to see this review. Would love to find out what happened on your iPhone 15. And yes, we can get you a refund! Please reach out in the app under the Account tab and select Questions? Or if the app isn't currently installed, email us: support åt filmtouch døt com.

### 1/5 — Review

*2023-07-31*

The app is still very “clunky”
It’s not smooth.
I wish it could highlight people I have worked with in the past.

**Developer response:** Hi Rotcerid. I hear you. I also work in the film industry and use the app all the time. There are more features I wish it had. Alas, since it's a small app with a small user base, I have to pick and choose what gets updated when there's time and it makes financial sense. But rest assured I'm motivated to continue improving the app. Feel free to reach out in the app under Account > Questions with your suggestions.

### 1/5 — Not working?

*2021-08-26*

Is anyone else having issues with this app? It was working ok for years and now not working. Can’t get an answer from the developers after a couple attempts. I rely heavily on this app for my work and rehiring crew on a regular basis. Eek!

**Developer response:** Hello,
Thanks for the feedback. I’m sorry you experienced those issues. It was caused by server issues. The web host we’ve been using for years has become increasingly unstable. I’ve made the decision to move to a new host but because of how the system is built it will take some time. Since I’m a lone developer, also working in the film industry, I don’t have as much time as I’d like to dedicate to the app. 
I hope to have it all fixed soon. I hope you can understand. 
Thank you for buying and using the app. And for reaching out.

### 5/5 — Great app for keeping track of peeps

*2021-01-13*

What a great app for keeping track of all the people you work with on set.  This has saved me a couple times when I should have remembered someone’s name.  100% needed and used.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work and is very glitchy!

*2020-02-07*

I use to love this app. In fact, if it were worked I’d give it 5 stars. Great concept. But this app is always buggy. ALWAYS! and now it just plain doesn’t work. My app has been in a constant state of “uploading” the last call sheet I submitted. I can’t close out of it, force quit, nothing. So now the app is useless. I have the paid version of this app and it’s super frustrating. No one to Contact either.

## Frequently asked questions about FilmTouch™

### What does FilmTouch™ do?

FilmTouch™ is designed to read and understand PDF callsheets and crew lists. It extracts the names and contact information of your coworkers, organizing them into a searchable list of all your jobs. This allows you to quickly find specific individuals within your professional network.

### How does FilmTouch™ handle my data privacy?

The app is designed to be private. When you import files into FilmTouch™, you are the only one who can view them. This means you can use it without violating NDAs or production rules, as it does not share callsheets or crew lists with anyone else.

### What kind of files can FilmTouch™ import?

FilmTouch™ can import text-based PDF callsheets and crew lists. It can integrate with cloud storage services like Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive, Box, OneDrive, and Adobe Creative Cloud, as well as any other app that supports the iOS file system.

### Can FilmTouch™ read scanned documents or photos?

No, FilmTouch™ cannot read scanned documents or photos. It requires text-based PDFs, as OCR technology is not yet reliable enough for accurate extraction from image-based files. The app can understand approximately 80-90% of callsheets, but unusual formatting may cause import issues.

### Is FilmTouch™ free to use?

Yes, based on the provided information, FilmTouch™ is available for free. There are no indications of subscription fees, paid downloads, or in-app purchases.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.5 — 2026-04-15

• Fixed the iOS 26 bug that was preventing imports from the Mail app from getting to FilmTouch. (Sorry! I know that was a bummer.)
• Improved user interface compatibility with iOS 26.
• Fixed a bug that was making the blue person icon disappear sometimes (the one you tap for contact information).

### 2.2 — 2020-02-12

● New Import History: Now in the Import tab you can see a list of the files you've imported and their status. Helpful if you're trying to figure out what happened to a file.
● Fixed a bug that disconnected your account from iCloud therefore preventing some people from seeing old jobs that were imported on other devices.
● Fixed a bug that caused the "Import with FilmTouch" extension to come up blank sometimes. "Copy to FilmTouch" always worked, but with iOS 13 that's harder to find unless you tap "More..." and drag the extensions around to your liking (which we recommend doing).
● Fixed a few bugs that could prevent new jobs or job name edits from showing up until you restarted the app.
● Added the ability for you to share your device logs with us if you're having a problem.

### 2.1 — 2019-07-12

Here's a bug fix version for our latest big release.
- Fixed an issue where new imports were sometimes not showing up in the jobs list until you performed a search.
- Fixed a bug that caused some job dates to show up as one day before the actual date.
- Fixed a bug: The initial data download will now resume if you leave the app in the middle and come back. (If you have any jobs that are empty when you tap on them it may be due to an incomplete initial data download. Go to the Account tab and choose Reset Data to download all your data again.)

### 2.0 — 2019-05-05

Big Update!
● Your data is now Stored Locally*, which means the app is Much Faster! And you can use it Offline too! †
● Support for iPhone X/XR/XS/Max. (And ongoing support for the iPad).
● Search is now much faster, with results that update as you type. And you can search within a callsheet or job instead of scrolling to find the person or vendor you're looking for. And if you're viewing a list of jobs someone has done, you can search within that list for a specific job.
● Support for Dropbox, iCloud Drive, etc. - Now you can import PDF callsheets and crew lists from Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive, Box, OneDrive, Adobe Creative Cloud and more. ‡ 
● Multi-Day Support - Jobs are now split into separate days so you can see which crew & vendors appeared on a certain day.
● New Sharing Extension: We've added an additional way to send files to FilmTouch called "Import with FilmTouch" that lets you stay in your current app (like Mail) without switching to FilmTouch for every import. To enable it just view a PDF (in Mail or elsewhere), tap the sharing arrow in the lower lefthand corner, and then on the lower row of gray buttons, scroll to the end and tap "More." Then enable "Import with FilmTouch" and drag it near the top of your list so that it's easy to access.
● Did we mention the app is much faster? I'm kind of forgetful. That's why I built this app.

footnotes:
* The first time you run the new version it may take a moment to download your data depending on how many callsheets you have.
† Imported files are still processed on our server before the data is stored locally on your device.
‡ To connect other cloud services (like Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.) download their app and then go to the FilmTouch App > Import > Locations > Edit, and turn on the switch next to a given service. Now you should be able access your files stored on these third-party cloud services from within FilmTouch.

### 1.5 — 2017-02-23

● Finally!
● Support for new screen resolutions (and by "new" we mean devices that have been around for more than two years now).
● Updated to eliminate warning that the app "may slow down your device." This was never really true, but it was a good way for Apple to shame us into updating our app.
● Although we hadn't updated the app in a while, we'd been hard at work on the server which improves app functionality.
