This remarkable app can read and understand most of your PDF callsheets and crew lists. It then pulls the names, and contact information of your coworkers and stores them in a searchable list of all your jobs. ● FilmTouch is a callsheet tracker and contact manager for the film industry. ● And it's PRIVATE. When you import files into FilmTouch™ you're the only one who can view them. You can't use this app to share callsheets & crew lists with anyone else, therefore you're not violating your NDA or production rules by using it. ● You can search within a list to help you filter out the results; like when you're trying to find the medic in a list of 75 crew members. ● You can import PDF callsheets and crew lists from Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive, Box, OneDrive, Adobe Creative Cloud and any other app that integrates with the iOS file system. ● Multi-Day Support - Jobs are now split into separate days so you can see which crew & vendors appeared on a certain day. ● Please note: Callsheets and crew lists need to be text-based PDF's. (Unfortunately FilmTouch can't read scans or photos, and OCR is not reliable enough). And the app can understand roughly 80 to 90% of callsheets & crew lists, but there are some with unusual formatting that it can't yet import.

Verdict

The call

PingID's advantage is price (Free vs $9.99) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
