## Description

## Review summary

Shot Lister helps plan shoot days, organize shots, and sync with Scriptation for a cohesive director workflow, earning praise for ease of use and on-set efficiency. Repeated drawbacks include pricing/edit gating, recurring bugs and data-migration problems, and weak import/export workflows that limit field usability. Users seek stability, more accessible features without prohibitive subscriptions, and improved editing tools like multi-select and undo to meet professional production needs.

### Pros

- Great for planning shoot days and organizing shots, acts as a lifesaver and time-saver on set.
- Easy to navigate and intuitive, making it simple to organize complex shot lists.
- Scriptation integration and cross-app syncing keeps script changes aligned with shot lists.
- Widely used by professionals and trusted for preproduction and on-set workflow.

### Cons

- Subscription pricing and Pro gating are frequently criticized, with annual fees and perceived 'money grab' concerns.
- Bugs and instability including crashes, migration issues, and occasional data loss, with slow or unresponsive support.
- Import/Export workflows are clunky and limited (CSV import issues, Dropbox/email export quirks, and poor interoperability).
- Lack of bulk actions/multi-select and no undo hinder editing and workflow on large shoots.
