User reviews

Comprehensive

Was recommended this app before production on my first feature and it was a game-changer for me and the cinematographer. It's intuitive, reliable, and robust!

Finally one app for all my scouting

Great for scouting, shotlists, light metering, viewfinder, etc. — really everything you’d need on set. Can tell it was created by filmmakers for filmmakers. 5 stars.
