ShowTool SM is a comprehensive suite of Stage Management utilities that give you the edge, helping you focus on what really matters. Multi Show ShowTool SM supports multiple shows, helping you maintain documentation and work more productively in repertory environments. Show import and export helps you share information with other users. Timers Timing your show couldn’t be simpler. Timer sessions keep track of each run of your show or rehearsal, and timer presets allow automatic labelling of show sections as you go along. Show stops can be timed, and ad-hoc timers allow you to time scene changes or other one-off events during the show. Marks Database of all your marks simply and quickly. Select from an unlimited range of colours, attach your own images, and save additional information for each entry. Checklist Create a checklist for your production so you never forget a thing. Props Manage your props with ease, including images of your props so you can set them just right. Show Info See the checked status of all of your checks and props at a glance, manage show sections, and create email presets for generating and sending show reports. Shows are kept in sync across all your devices using iCloud.

Great as far as it goes

This app is pretty basic, although it does help a bit. I'd really like to see support for set, light, sound and costume notes, allowing you to create your whole rehearsal report as you go. It's a good start, though!

It’s a nice idea, but it doesn’t seem stable enough for live use. Just trying to set up a show, I encountered a number of bugs. For example, after a while adding scenes, they stopped appearing in the list. Clicking around a while and going out and back in they finally showed up, but by that time I’d entered the scenes out of order. Clicking “Sort/Delete” did nothing - it looked like the mode changed, but there were no sort or delete controls. Trying several times, going out and back in, I finally got it to work, although sometimes weird things happened. Trying to check a prop and save it from the all props view kept crashing the app. I also think that improvements could be made to make this easier to use. For example, if a prop is used in more than one scene, it has to be entered multiple times. It would be nice to be able to enter it once and track it through the scenes. For now I think I’ll continue to use Evernote for my checklists. I’m sorry that I spent money on this.

While ShowTool SM has some interesting features, it feels more like an "extra" than an essential for Stage Managers. The props list is nice, but how about a place to organize those? Support for custom rehearsal report logs, a notes feature, attendance support, or multiple (save-able) checklists would also be appreciated. The export feature for the Props list feels very bare-bones; an updated interface to include rich text formatting when sending this lists could eliminate that.Overall, it is a decent app for $0.99 or $1.99... but as it is currently set at a price of $4.99, the bar is set high, and as of right now, ShowTool SM fails to deliver.

Has Strong Potential

Version 1.0.1 already has several great features that will be even better with tweaking. For instance, I really like that I can e-mail myself run times. But is there a way to reset the times without resetting the labels? If I want to record individual scenes or scene shifts, I don't want to lose 5-10 seconds typing in the names for each section. Looking forward to testing the rest of the tools.
