I had issues with all the model release apps out there, so I built my own. Here’s what makes it special: - Supports 36 popular languages, so you can collect a model’s info even if they don’t speak English - Everything is on a single screen to keep things simple - Tells the model when to hand the phone back to you, translated into every supported language - Lets you export multiple signed releases at once using iOS sharing features - Syncs with Dropbox automatically - Option to lock the Releases and Settings pages for privacy - Asks for the model’s stage name and social media handles - Supports witness signatures if needed - For adult releases, asks for an ID photo and includes it in the PDF It also has all the core features you'd expect: - Gather model info and signatures - Create adult and minor releases, with or without a witness - Capture shoot location using GPS - Save model profiles so you don’t need to re-enter their info for future shoots This is the model release app I always wanted, and I’m excited to share it with the community. Full List of Languages: (Note that language support is for model information only, the rest of the app is in English only) - Arabic - Bengali - Bulgarian - Chinese - Croatian - Czech - Danish - Dutch - English - Estonian - Finnish - French - German - Greek - Hindi - Hungarian - Indonesian - Irish - Italian - Japanese - Korean - Latvian - Lithuanian - Maltese - Polish - Portuguese - Romanian - Russian - Slovak - Slovenian - Spanish - Swedish - Tamil - Turkish - Ukrainian - Vietnamese

About

Flicker Safe

Features
Read full description

FlickerSafe is a camera-based LED flicker tester for filmmakers, photographers, streamers, and event crews. Point your iPhone at a light to see its flicker frequency, modulation, and camera risk before you shoot. Use FlickerSafe when scouting venues, setting up a home studio, comparing LED panels, checking dimmer levels, or preparing a shoot where lighting needs to stay camera-safe. Key features: - Estimate dominant flicker frequency from camera luminance samples - Measure modulation depth and camera risk - Check common shutter speeds such as 1/50, 1/60, 1/100, and 1/120 - Get safer shutter-speed suggestions for the detected light - Save fixture measurements and history for later reference - Export production reports with FlickerSafe Pro FlickerSafe is designed as a practical field tool, not a laboratory instrument. Results depend on device camera capabilities, ambient light, fixture brightness, and how steadily the phone is held during capture.
