an absolute game changer

this app is UNREAL, so brilliantly made and it has completely transformed my experience when showcalling. the summary at the end is so incredibly helpful for show reports. i cannot recommend this highly enough for any DSMs, people working FOH or anyone at all working in theatre.💫💫💫💫💫

Deleted show I didn’t pick

I just had my second show for my highschool and I used this app. I had had two files for that show one was at 9:01, another at 7:01. I picked to delete the 9:01 one, and when I hit delete it decided to delete the show file I wanted to save. Can’t get it back now-

Great but would be so much better with Apple Watch

I love this app but when being a duty manager you cannot whip your phone out in a dark theatre. Please make this Apple Watch compatible to be able to record times discreetly

One of the greatest apps ever!

AEA SM here. So freaking genius! This app is so worth it!

Amazing but Needs Apple Watch

Love the app and means my LD brain can actually time a show properly, I just wish it had an Apple Watch app and a persistent island widget to glance at during the show
