ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Final Draft Go holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Final Draft Go has 1.7K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Pocket Call Sheet's written reviews are positive against 10% of Final Draft Go's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pocket Call Sheet ships an update every 6 months, Final Draft Go every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
