Clippn Dashboard
Read full descriptionHide full description
Clippn Dashboard is the field tool for news contributors. Film it, file it, send it — straight from your phone to the newsroom. It is built for the conditions journalists actually work in: a weak cellular signal at the edge of an event, a phone that rings mid-transfer, a train going into a tunnel. The upload keeps going, and picks up where it left off. SEND FOOTAGE FROM THE FIELD • Pick clips from your camera roll and send them as one package • Add the detail the newsroom needs: description, location, date shot, notes • Set an embargo, or file on behalf of another contributor • Notify your assignment editor when the package lands UPLOADS THAT SURVIVE THE REAL WORLD • Transfers continue while the app is in the background or the phone is locked • Lose signal and it pauses, then resumes on its own when you are back • Close the app, or run out of battery — resume from where the server actually got to, not from zero • Watch progress per file, with an honest speed and time estimate • On a slow link, progress is shown in kilobytes so you can see it moving KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU SENT • Every package with its status, files and rating • Search and filter your upload history • Live Activity on the Lock Screen while a package is in flight FOR EDITORS AND MANAGERS • See uploads as they happen across all contributors • Outcome statistics over any period, with drill-down to the packages behind each number • Per-upload detail for triage: timings, transfer speeds, per-file progress and status history An account is required. Accounts are created by your newsroom's administrator — the app is for accredited contributors and newsroom staff. ABOUT Clippn Dashboard is developed and published by Forge Media (Forgesoft Limited) as the iOS client for the Clippn platform. Clippn is a trademark of Clippn Inc.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Clippn Dashboard at none against Content Transfer Professional's 1. Clippn Dashboard also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
