It does the job
Have used many times. Gets the job done.
Not working
I used to love this app but now the cast and the cast times are not transferring to the email or call sheet PDF like they used to. Seems like an iOS update issue. If they can fix this, I will praise the app once again.
What happened?!
More than 2 years and no updates? What’s happening with this app? There was so much potential here and then…nothing…
I like it
The app does what you want. It’s great for most projects. I like the one off fee vs subscription. It works for me
Great but need work
The app has great potential. But It took me 30 to figure out how to include the the cast call time information on the sheet. And I still haven’t figure that out. Plus, there are lots of Manuel entry. And not an option that could allow me to duplicate so I can move faster. Lastly, sinking phone and the iPad is also not that obvious!

Good
Ideal and easy to use. Worth it
I love it BUT NEEDS a Preview!!!
I think it's great! But would love to see a preview of the call sheet before I send. Or instead of sending a few copies to myself before I send it out.
Also I wish I could delete some of the positions off of the call sheet when working on smaller jobs! That would be amazing. And the only other thing in regards to smaller jobs... when I shoot EPKs I don't need all these options. It would be nice to be able to delete certain positions so it's customized for EPKs or Documentaries! Thanks though a great app! 👍🏽

A solid option , does what it says
To be honest as an independent filmmaker I found this app to be more than adequate for seven dollars you get a lot for your money. For those people who whine and complain about the fact they have to load their contacts into their phone it looks like they already found a way around this on the new version. What I would like to see is for the program to remember things that you've already written so that when you go to a new day you don't have to write the information and over again that part is simple and should be addressed immediately. Anyone who is not previewing the CallSheet by sending an email to them self prior to the entire production obviously shouldn't be in moviemaking and doesn't understand the necessary procedure to make sure that things are correct before sending them out to the whole group. One feature I would like to see added to the app and I'm not exactly sure how they would go about doing it is placing the cast and crew phone numbers either on a separate sheet that is pulled from all the information that is entered into the other fields or somewhere in the table where it list the cast and crew. Having the title and the call time and the name of the person listed is great but on an actual piece of paper that's not gonna help someone who may need to call that person who doesn't have those contacts in the phone. I think this app was written with the assumption that the only person that would be contacting anyone in the production would be the person making the call sheets on a small independent movie that's not always the case.
To those people who complain about it not having a lot of graphics and visual appeal while I do agree that a place for the logo would be a nice representation of the product I think that this no-frills basic sheet printed out and easy to read manner is exactly what we need.
I don't really have any more to add to this we used it on the production last weekend and it was able to keep people organized dramatically better than when we were using other programs. I saw people complaining about how it takes time to enter the data in an iPhone and I do agree that if there was a way to get it onto like a website interface or even an iPad or tablet that that would be helpful however if people are too lazy to take the hour two hours to punch in the information to export what is an amazing amount of information in one spot then they probably shouldn't be a movie making.
My congratulations to all the developers and my hope is they find someway to get the phone numbers incorporated into the CallSheet that is printed a workaround for us was using the notes section on each of the cast members to have their phone numbers however we alternately still did have to add an Excel spreadsheet with all of the productions phone numbers on it to our call sheet packet.
I look forward to seeing what new features are released if any at all and will continue to use this for a very long time to come.
For those of you who complained about the seven dollar price tag you obviously don't know that it cost a great deal of money to make a movie some of our low-budget production cost $100,000 and they're small short student films.

Wonderful
I love this app! Easy to use and the call sheets come out beautiful!
This FAILED ME!
The app would have saved so much time if it actually worked. Exported the file after putting in hours of info only for it to disappear when exported. Costed me time and money. I want a refund.You guys really let me down...
I love this product!
I hated using other software like Excel to create call sheets. This one is easy to navigate and send to your cast and crew. I will use this app from now on in my career.
Awesome Tool
This app has saved me countless hours sitting in front of an excel speadsheet (which I don't know how to use) trying to put together call sheets.
It does take a little playing with to learn but once preproduction is ready, just put everything into the app and create your call sheets way ahead of time making adjustments when the schedule calls for them.
Gives your crew and cast advance schedules for days out on their call sheets once you put everything in.
Best $10 I spent in film school for preproduction and has come in handy as an AD and line producer on over a dozen short films. Pick this up!!! It, combined with a few other basic apps (weather and sunrise), can help your workflow on a film go easily if you're in the production department!!! Well worth the $10.

Love this!
Very happy with the app and have emailed customer service a few times... As I am not technology savvy... And they always get back to me quickly! Most of the issues that I thought were bugs are not. I just didn't understand how to use the app. Now that I figured it out and have used it for a few productions I am hooked. I would highly recommend!!! It's made my life as a producer much easier.

Buggy
The idea is great. Would be useful if not for the bugs i've experienced. After filling in the fields and preparing email to send out to cast & crew, ALL information regarding their call time, pick up time, Hair & MU call time etc. disappeared. Fields are now blank despite going back into app & triple checking that the info is there. Won't be an effective app until updates happen. Do not waste your money or prepare to be frustrated. I have emailed the company and am awaiting a response. Will update my review if/after they help resolve the issue.

Improved dramatically
I used this to handle a very fast moving two week shooting schedule and it performed excellently on my iPad 3. The developers responded quickly to my questions during the production and their improvements since have given me confidence I would be able to handle whatever my next project throws at me. Once I was able to add people who were not on my contact list the application became what I expected it to be.
In today's hand-held production environment I feel this tool moves the production process right out of the paper world and into the real world of connectivity and quick response. It was the right app for me back then and I will be suggesting it to others as things advance.
Also liking the new iOS7 style.
In future it might be nice to compile all the distributed calls into a single PDF record to archive for the production.

Love It!
This App is just what I needed.
Extremely helpful!
Such a great resource! I've shared this with other film professionals and they have been nothing but pleased with this new app. Very accurate and it saves a lot of time.
Buggy and Hard to navigate...
This app couldn't even help me run a five day shoot. Actors names disappeared. It crashes without saving and they have the temerity to advertise their product on the bottom of the call sheet.
DONT USE THIS!
DONT USE THIS!
1st AD for "Cold"
Excellent app that is easy to use and awesome customer service! They got back to me ASAP on a question I had, which was appreciated because we were on such a tight timeline.
Nowhere near enough control
Working on a small indie production, the amount of blank space in the final sheets looks like amateur hour. If a section, like SPECIAL FX, MISC EQUIPMENT or TRANSPORTATION is left blank, it should not appear AT ALL in the sheet. We should at least have the option to remove the sections manually. All in all, it's like an excel sheet I can't really edit, but with the nice bonus of working well with my contacts list.
