Pocket Call Sheet FAQ
Is Pocket Call Sheet free?
Pocket Call Sheet is not free (it costs 7.99), however it doesn't contain in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Pocket Call Sheet legit?
🤔 The Pocket Call Sheet app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
This is a fantastic app, that delivers on its promises. Information is entered, organised and then a professional call sheet produced in HTML or PDF format. It even emails it to the appropriate cast and crew. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
Great App!
Very easy to use and intuitive. Puts all my info in one place and really helps me visualise the coming days and organise crew, talent and property.
The ability to email the visual aid to everyone concerned in one go is sublime. I can't wait for the next version.
Not working
I used to love this app but now the cast and the cast times are not transferring to the email or call sheet PDF like they used to. Seems like an iOS update issue. If they can fix this, I will praise the app once again.
What happened?!
More than 2 years and no updates? What’s happening with this app? There was so much potential here and then…nothing…
Great but need work
The app has great potential. But It took me 30 to figure out how to include the the cast call time information on the sheet. And I still haven’t figure that out. Plus, there are lots of Manuel entry. And not an option that could allow me to duplicate so I can move faster. Lastly, sinking phone and the iPad is also not that obvious!
Good
Ideal and easy to use. Worth it
I love it BUT NEEDS a Preview!!!
I think it's great! But would love to see a preview of the call sheet before I send. Or instead of sending a few copies to myself before I send it out.
Also I wish I could delete some of the positions off of the call sheet when working on smaller jobs! That would be amazing. And the only other thing in regards to smaller jobs... when I shoot EPKs I don't need all these options. It would be nice to be able to delete certain positions so it's customized for EPKs or Documentaries! Thanks though a great app! 👍🏽
A solid option , does what it says
To be honest as an independent filmmaker I found this app to be more than adequate for seven dollars you get a lot for your money. For those people who whine and complain about the fact they have to load their contacts into their phone it looks like they already found a way around this on the new version. What I would like to see is for the program to remember things that you've already written so that when you go to a new day you don't have to write the information and over again that part is simple and should be addressed immediately. Anyone who is not previewing the CallSheet by sending an email to them self prior to the entire production obviously shouldn't be in moviemaking and doesn't understand the necessary procedure to make sure that things are correct before sending them out to the whole group. One feature I would like to see added to the app and I'm not exactly sure how they would go about doing it is placing the cast and crew phone numbers either on a separate sheet that is pulled from all the information that is entered into the other fields or somewhere in the table where it list the cast and crew. Having the title and the call time and the name of the person listed is great but on an actual piece of paper that's not gonna help someone who may need to call that person who doesn't have those contacts in the phone. I think this app was written with the assumption that the only person that would be contacting anyone in the production would be the person making the call sheets on a small independent movie that's not always the case.
To those people who complain about it not having a lot of graphics and visual appeal while I do agree that a place for the logo would be a nice representation of the product I think that this no-frills basic sheet printed out and easy to read manner is exactly what we need.
I don't really have any more to add to this we used it on the production last weekend and it was able to keep people organized dramatically better than when we were using other programs. I saw people complaining about how it takes time to enter the data in an iPhone and I do agree that if there was a way to get it onto like a website interface or even an iPad or tablet that that would be helpful however if people are too lazy to take the hour two hours to punch in the information to export what is an amazing amount of information in one spot then they probably shouldn't be a movie making.
My congratulations to all the developers and my hope is
This FAILED ME!
The app would have saved so much time if it actually worked. Exported the file after putting in hours of info only for it to disappear when exported. Costed me time and money. I want a refund.You guys really let me down...
I love this product!
I hated using other software like Excel to create call sheets. This one is easy to navigate and send to your cast and crew. I will use this app from now on in my career.
