### 4/5 — Love the app, but…

*2022-04-16, version 1.2.1*

Hey guys,

 Ive worked through the app and it is great, but when I import my script I only get one page and can’t scroll to the next. Am I doing something wrong? I have a new iPad Pro. If I can fix that, I’ll come back and give 5 stars. Thanks!

### 1/5 — I Am CoNfUsiOn

*2019-06-04, version 1.2.1*

This is the THIRD TIME I HAVE WRITTEN THIS SO I AM GOING TO KEEP CAPS ON 'CAUSE IM JUST ANGRY BECAUSE *I KEEP DELETING THIS*BUT I WAS *VERY CONFUSED*. I *THOUGHT* I WAS RECORDING BUT I *APPARENTLY* WASN'T. THIS APP MAKES *NO SENSE* SO IM'A TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, *DON'T GET IT!!!!*

### 3/5 — Verbesserungswürdig

*2016-09-26, version 1.2.1*

Ich kann keine Presets wie "Atmo", "NT", "off" usw. speichern oder laden. Das gleiche gilt für Rollen-Namen/Schauspieler-Namen. Wünschenswert wäre eine Import-Funktion für diese Funktionen.

### 4/5 — Gutes Tool

*2016-03-24, version 1.2.1*

Die App funktioniert schon ganz gut. Allerdings sind ein paar Dinge noch etwas umständlich wenn kein Recorder verbunden ist. Die Drehbuch- und Dispo-funktion sind sehr nützlich. Wünschenswert wäre aber eine Lösch Funktion um unterschiedliche Fassungen oder Klammerteile zu verwalten.

### 4/5 — Good, but...

*2016-02-04*

The need for an iPad is very restrictive. This is so much faster and versatile than the CL-wifi but is unfortunately best suited to large cart or stationary setups due to it only working with an iPad. 
Please make a version for the iPhone!

### 5/5 — Funktioniert!

*2015-01-22, version 1.1*

Die App funktioniert mit dem 788t sofort und stabil. 5 Punkte.
