Crash City

I want to love this app. It has so much potential. But it either crashes or doesn’t work. It won’t let me add set ups to a shot. But it will let me add a camera. Which is kind of helpful, but not as helpful as it could be. If the bugs get fixed, this is an easy 4, maybe 5 star app.

Great app

Helpful app with a beautiful ui for a small app. One feature request is to separate the notes and the title when you are in the edit shot menu.

Decent till it Crashed/Deleted Info

Was decent (buggy but workable) until it crashed and deleted all of the data I input right before a shoot. 🥲🫠 Bugs: for a while would only let me input shot descriptions one letter at a time, then the app would glitch and crash a few seconds later.

The Ultimate Organization Tool

I’ve used this tool for less than 48 hours and I’m so grateful to have access to organize my shots. This makes my teams look legit in front of my clients and perform with ease amongst themselves.

Love It!

Super handy app. Way more convenient than the 3,000 notes I had on my phone 😄
