Decent product!

Great suggestions. Can you add them to the site we're set up for our users: shotlister.canny.io Here you can add features you'd like to see and vote on the others listed there. We build everything based on the priority set by our users. And you may not be aware but we have partnered with Scriptation, both apps are now fully integrated, allowing the user to import scripts, navigate back and forth, and import script revisions to automatically update scene and shot data.
Doesn’t work

We're here to help get your started. First off make sure you're in Prep mode and then select the + icon. And scenes need shots added to them in Prep mode before you can add them to a Shoot Day. If you're still having a problem getting started please email us at contact@shotlister.com and we're happy to help.
Good if you have money
Usefulness Ruined by Subscriptions and Accounts
And at the end of the day, even if I were okay with all that, what am I greeted with when I first open the app? Another account, another privacy policy, another Terms-of-Service. More chances to get exposed in a data breach or get sold to advertisers when the company gets bought out or decides it’s not making enough money.
You know what the advantages of pen and paper shot lists are? They don’t charge me monthly to own nothing.

We understand your frustration with the subscription model and would love to offer the options you suggest. Unfortunately it has not proved sustainable - app development and maintenance require a fairly reliable source of income - as a small company of dedicated filmmakers we rely on the subscriptions to maintain the app. To help independent filmmakers we do offer free versions of both the Mac and iOS. These are pretty robust and capable of handling smaller productions and if full access to all our features is required, a one month subscription along with the two weeks free trial can provide 6 weeks of prep and production. To ease your mind on data security, we do meet the stringent security requirements of the large studios and do not share or sell our users' information. Like you we don't enjoy be overwhelmed by advertising and we'd love to see you give us a try.
Could be so good, but so clunky in setting up each project
But the headaches with using it are endless. There’s no way to import spreadsheets or csv files, (even though it’s basically a spreadsheet itself.) There’s no way to do bulk actions. Moving multiple shots around in your shooting day is sooooo tedious. And there’s NO UNDO BUTTON!?
Overall it’s an A- for the idea and a big D- for User experience
