Pretty great app! I'm having issues syncing across my devices though, even though I sign in on my tablet, it just doesn't register the sign in and keeps saying I'm not signed in. It also seems to be missing some codecs for the Venice 2. I still have to go through the other cameras but I can't calculate Digital Runtime on the Venice 2 with ProRes options Other than that, this is extremely helpful and glad to have found it!

Pocket AC is an app that I use on literally every job I do as a 1st AC. The depth of field calc, tome of lens and camera data all in one place, and the multitude of other camera features make set life easy. If you're serious about the data part of the job, look no further. The dev keeps it up to date with modern tech and I see new stuff added all the time. It's worth the tax write-off on your LLC for sure!

Very essential tool that I use almost daily as a full-time Local 600 1st Assistant Camera. There are so many useful tools, and it's actually kinda funny that they don't have an iPhone version, which makes a lot of other ACs jealous because they're stuck with their handful of apps that still don't do all the things that this wonderful app does.

The tools are really useful, especially the depth of field calculator, and I like using the camera report too. It exports into a clean PDF that DIT likes as well. The only thing is that it organizes camera report by day and not card which is strange, because you should always start a new camera report when you start recording on a new card. That way DIT can have the report while they start on media management. It might be worth organizing by card number rather than day.

One of the best if not the best Camera AC apps on Android. Developer was also quick to respond and help figuring out a bug. They were very helpful and quick send out an update to fix the issue. Definitely worth the price!

This is super awesome, over my 3 years of experience as a 2nd Ac I have enjoyed using Microsoft excel to log my camera report, which gives me more opportunity to design my columns anyway I want, until recently when I discovered a Pocket Ac app and it been such an amazing experience for me since I have been using it, more useful for me as 1st Ac, but how I wish you can add more features, like Slate columns, both on the Slate display and at the log sheet also need an update for new cam and Filters

Love everything about this app so far. Only gripe is having to input clip numbers on every new take is kind of annoying, everything else can be automatically inputted on a new take but it forces you to input the clip number manually

As a 2nd AC/loader I found the app handy for recording camera notes on set and making a pdf of them to distribute. It saves on using pen and paper on set. As a 1st AC/Focus Puller I find the depth of field tool useful as a reference when pulling focus.
