I like the app when it works. Lately I'm having trouble opening the app. I have to keep uninstalling. Really annoying when you have a quick turnaround. Update: since writing this my issue has been sorted by the support team and the app is back to its brilliant self :)
I do love this app and have used it on my Samsung and my husband uses it on his iphone. I recently updated to a new phone which is the Samsung A-70 and the app no longer works which has caused much stress because we have two children who are in the acting business and at times in different locations filming. I am extremely upset that the app is not working on my new phone. :((( Have been using it for 3 years now.
This app freezes and I keep having to uninstall. Then I lose all the previous tapes I had! Then sometimes it does not show I file has been successfully sent, so iltry to resend it two or even three times then have to buy more tickets. I Ly to fi dout later it worked the first try! Frustrating app
Great app for sending my daughters selftapes in. Easy to use, makes our submissions look professional. I would like to give a shout out to David from their customer support team who helped me via Facebook messenger. Had a problem sending my video... Wouldn't encode. We tried a few tests and I was credited tickets so none was wasted. We couldn't fix the exact problem but we got it to work. More Importantly he followed up the next week, much appreciated. Great customer service. Thank you
Unfortunately, whenever I press the record button, it simply takes me back to the 'recording check list/tips' screen, and this loops in a continuous circle - 'tips'/'record'/'tips'. Useless.
It was really frustrating using this app. For starters it kept freezing as soon as I would stop recording a video thus I had to keep restarting my phone over and over again.
I used this app, and the problem is it's good for a monologue, but not a scene unless your living with someone. Majority self-tapes are two person scenes. So if you live alone and have to do a self-tape in a hurry. This app is not beneficial.
Great app! Makes it so easy to shoot and edit self-tapes all on your phone. So easy when you get such short notices for auditions!
I have driven countless X to self tape places to have my 12 yr old sons auditions professionally done and sent in I found this last night I filmed it today I've already sent it off I love the way it put it together so professionally the Slate is exactly what the CDs want actors name first then project. I seriously love this app the price is amazing especially since the first one was free but the time that you've saved me on the road is truly priceless! Love, Love, Love!
THIS APP IS GARBAGE. Some failed actor or film school reject decided it'd be cute to make a video editing app with a share video function and charge people $1 for something their phone ALREADY does for free - sharing videos. I want to punch the developers in the mouth. This is straight skeevy. The app is in no way connected with the CSA, SAG-AFTRA, DGA, WGA, or anything. Avoid this trash. Your phone can do the same thing and it won't charge you every time you send a video message.
Very easy to use and efficient app. Support was amazing when I had a problem relating to my phone. Great app.
Terrible. Found as a recommendation on a recent blog. Downloaded just to see how it functions. Useless unnecessary scam product. Use anything else. Any person blogging about this is garbage.
David sent me a personal email about a previous review and gave me steps to fix my problem that my phone was having. It worked like a charm! Thank you!
An incredibly useful tool for actors, especially if you have a phone with a good quality camera!
the app won't take me to the camera and keeps flipping back to the recording check list and tips page ? would love to use it but can't seem to :/
Could not figure out how to edit/trim takes. Useless without that.
Well I liked this app before now it is impossible to use on my Huawei phone. it won't record!
Really do like this app. It's simple and perfect to use when you have a self tape audition especially if you're out of town or in a different country. My only 2 critics: 1) when you edit your clip(s) it trims off more than you selected. 2) there should be a way do add more title graphics. Example: I had a self tape audition with 3 different scenes, and another where I was asked to do 2 different takes, and there was no way to break up the takes with a title graphic saying scene 1, or, take 2. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add that.
Decent. It is not actually free and this is why I am doing this review to earn tokens for the app. I wish that I could change the camera setting like I can in my regular camera app but there is no control over light, iso or anything, its just the in app camera and that is all you get. Does cut down on upload times as it compresses it for you. NEXT LEVEL DEVELOPMENT.... all us to record the audio of the person reading the other lines and then play back while we record the audition so that if we are alone, taping auditions at 2 am all alone we dont need anyone else in the room
I was pleased how easy this app was to use. Very straightforward, and the end result was good quality. What’s challenging is trying to edit the clip, as the phone screen is of course small, so the touch slider is pretty tiny and therefore difficult to be accurate with. But in the end I have been pleased with the results.
After trying 10 other apps, this was the best one with the first submission being free. And I booked the job because of it! Will definitely recommend to others!
I'm giving this app 2 stars. That is probably too many stars. I just had to pay TWICE to send a project to my agent. That wouldn't bother me but the app told me that the project had been sent. AND the price went up the second time I had to send it. What a rip off.
I have 3 stars only because I'm neutral. Reason. Importing recordings into the project. I hit the button, take the video and then poof. It disappears into my gallery. Ok, I think. The must be a way to get it into the app. Can't find how to do it anywhere. So. Advise me on that and I'll give it more stars. Could be my phone. It's HTC 820. Any clues?
Well it looks like the app is free, and you can earn tokens to send free self tapes. After the tokens are used up there would be a fee. I had trouble with the edit tool. Can trim, but it seemed I'd have to save each trim and edit separately. Will pass on the app for now and revisit another time
This is the most convenient, user-friendly app I'm aware of for submitting a selftape audition. After using it for a couple of years, it wouldn't open on my phone past the intro page. There may have been a bit of a freak out involved on my part (where was a camera to capture that performance? haha). I got immediate help from tech support - issue resolved, me calmed down, much relief in the rest of my household. The fee seems reasonable (less than what I'd spend on gas and parking for a IRL audition). I highly recommend!
