Good app but needs an update.
THe clap sound mostly do not work. It has an issue to close the app on iPhone. It does not rotate. Otherwise it works good. The clap is about two frames late but for me this is not an issue. I use m hands to clap to sync the sound. I hope they will update the app and fix the issues. Thank you.
Terrible
Wanted to title the slate...the keyboard comes up and then you can’t see what you are typing. Thoughtless. Lucky you got one star...deleting and getting a different slate...you can thank me for the $2.99!
STUPID! NO CLAP SOUND!
No clap sound! Worthless for a filmmaker!! The whole point is sound clap to stnc audio!
Disappointed.
Volume up, sync sound checked, no clap sound. Pretty worthless.
Shame about the fixed date format
Nice app, shame that the user can't change the date format to dd/mm/yyyy instead of mm/dd/yyyy.
Not bad
For an app that cost $4.99 the price isn't worth it, i can tell if you gave us the option to turn the time to 12-hour instead of 24 hour it would be awesome and if the date could be turned to Australian date as well as American. Also change the slate sound to a clap. The clap sound on this app sounds annoying for a lot of people

Does exactly what I need
I needed an app that would allow me to show the exact time from the phone's clock in front of a camera used to shoot legal depositions. I also wanted it to allow me to display the case number, witness name, date, and attorney names. I can do all of that on the phone app. Granted, I can't change the names of the fields (eg director, scene etc.) the iPad version allows a little bit more text to be displayed.
I don't really need the clapper/audio feature, but I did some test shots. It seems the red dot displays a couple of frames before the sound is heard on my camera, so be aware of that if you're using it to sync audio.
Also, the last numbers near the time--the frames number-- is completely random. It goes up to 20 something several times per second, when it should go from 0-30 only once per second. Not a big deal though. I don't use that number for anything anyway.

The old one
The old one was better.., can you still get that version???
Very useful!
I absolutely love this app! I am a filmmaker in Kentucky and don't want to purchase a very expensive clapperboard. I decided to look on the App Store, and the prices are through the roof! They may have some slight advances in features, but for 99 cents, this is a GREAT bargain! At first I was a little skeptical about the animation of the moving-out-of-frame slate, but in the end I enjoy it! I highly recommend this!
The two updates I would enjoy is a selection to make the movie title in all caps. Maybe under settings? Lastly, I wish the text would shrink to a smaller size in the title area, so if the production name was long, it could still fit on the board without an ellipsis. But don't get me wrong! This is an amazing app! Thank you so much, Mr. Developer!

Easy an simple
I was happy to find out you can flip your phone/ iPad around an the slate doesn't rotate.
Cinematographer
This app hangs up when using the clap feature. You then need to trigger it a second time. Can be a little embarrassing when using with a client.
Nice app
Very good.

Good app
The app was very good i like using it with a camera, it was cheap but it is affective
the only thing is that the sound of the clap should be a bit louder.

See the obvious
I am an indie videographer that does a lot of on the run multi camera shoots. This is a GREAT app to give a sync point for 2,3 or more cameras when you are following the action and don't have the luxury of on site engineering. A great tool for the field.
Not in sync!
I found that when I compared the app to me clapping, this app was off by 2 frames. It's not useful if I can't rely on it to sync the video and audio! I also found the mechanism for clapping not intuitive. Not a good clapboard app.
AVOID AT ALL COST
This is the biggest slice of garbage in the app store. I want a refund, this garbage crashes half the time and looks and feels real trashy. The developers have to be the worst on the planet
FPS counter
need to add an adjustable FPS counter along with the time. The flash does little more then distract you as to if the clap sound is in sync with the animation.
Not Pro Ready
It's slick and pretty but not all that useful. Besides the obvious problem of the clap visual and audio not being in sync - a must for sync sound - the tilt to operate clapper is awkward. The movement causes a blur just when you need the slate to be rock solid. They used to drill ACs on keeping a steady slate so the clap is sharp. Until they solve these issues, not ready for pro use; just a novelty.

Ehh.
Cool idea, but the image and sound dont match. Bad for syncing audio.
