Having to re-type the same format for your daily TPS reports can become cumbersome. Instead of having to save the templates in email or elsewhere you can just have the format automatically created with the new file. This can save you time instead of having to type up the same format every time. Particularly, when there are new cover sheets to use. wwriteLite allows you to take notes, create blog posts, and do type up anything else that you see fit. The plain-text format allows for more flexibility than working within an HTML environment. One of the perks of wwrite is that you have the ability to create and customize templates. The app supports Slide Over, Split View, and all iPhone and iPad Sizes. There is keyboard support, including keyboard shortcuts. Just hold down the Command Key to find out all of the shortcuts. The files that you create can be emailed individual, or an archive can be created; which can subsequently be emailed. You can also retrieve any archives through iTunes. If you're using an iPad, you can also import and export files using drag and drop to bring files in and out. If you get stuck, or see a problem, just tap on Tools -> Support and either email or send a tweet and we can work through the problem.

Lightwright Touch provides mobile viewing and editing of Lightwright® 5 or 6 lighting equipment data. If you use Lightwright, or schedules and hookups printed from Lightwright, this is the portable, navigable, editable worksheet tool you have been waiting for. +Export your show from Lightwright and sync to Lightwright Touch through iTunes, or email, or file sharing +View and Sort your worksheet using familiar Lightwright functions +Columns can be added, removed, and rearranged to best suit your mobile needs +"Log" feature speeds selection of prior view/sort displays +Edit worksheet data quickly with item pick-lists +Add a note to any worksheet row, or to a general notes page +Store multiple shows on Lightwright Touch +Transfer shows back to Lightwright for reconciliation with the original show file +View and email notes or your changes +Supports any device orientation, and multiple font sizes Please note that Lightwright Touch does not do everything that Lightwright does. (The fact that it costs 1/10 as much might have been be a clue.) This version does not support focus charts and worknotes. Also you cannot start a new show on Lightwright Touch. It's great for viewing existing shows and doing minor editing on the fly, but heavy-duty worksheet management is better left to Lightwright at this time. Lightwright Touch is an accessory to Lightwright, not a replacement for it. Works with files exported from Lightwright 5.0.22 or later, and Lightwright 6.0.13 or later.
