Great resource

This is a great resource and extremely better than having to log onto the website when on the go. I much prefer an app to skim through potential listings and apply to roles as needed. I’m sure with time the app will work out any kinks but I’ve been looking for them to creat an app for a while now, mainly for ease of access.

Can't export the casting call

Love the idea of an app but I can't do anything with the casting notices. Wish I could email it or save it. I'll go back to viewing on Safari in my phone.

Good but...

The app won’t show me any casting calls as every time I refresh it it comes up with “Error decoding JSON” everything else works fine.

Great!

Thanks to the developers who responded, I think my phone was just being funny and I messed around and fixed whatever the issue was! Thank you backstage for your help and thank you so much for creating this app! It makes applying to roles so much easier! Wow!

Good App for Great Service

I was one of the people who got early access to the app. Glad to see they finally hopped on the bandwagon so to speak. The app works as it should and is good. I like how it syncs to you desktop account so you don’t have to remake filters and reupload documents and such. Excited to see where they take it from here.
