Release Me, the Model Release App
"Just sign the screen"
Release Me frees you from the shackles of paper, and puts your model release forms in a simplified, organized digital format which has just as much legal standing as a classic paper one.
A release form is important because it protects both the rights of photographer/filmmaker AND model.
Available for iPhone, iPad and iPod-Touch.
ORGANIZATION
Release Forms can be sorted into project folders, which organizes models in a way that makes sense to you.
SIGN THE SCREEN
Have your model read through the legal details, and simply sign the screen with their finger. You can add a photo reference directly on the form, so you can remember whos who.
FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE
The app comes preloaded with a general release form. Its a one-size-fits-all form that will over almost everything. With that said, we wanted to make the app fully customizable so you can paste in your own forms. You can drag and drop new sections, or set a custom order as your default release.
We realize every production has their own rules and documents, to feel free to add in your own specific legal details.
STRIKE OUT
If theres a small particular section the person signing doesnt agree with, you can "strikeout" that certain bit before they sign. After they sign, you cannot manipulate the form without a new signature.
SHARING
These forms are in no way stuck on your phone or iPad. After a release is complete, you can automatically generate a PDF and e-mail it to any e-mail address you provide.
MAP-VIEW
One of the cooler features is the automatic location finder. If you dont care to write in yourself where you photographed a subject, you can use your phone or iPads built-in maps. In just a second, it automatically marks your current place on a map with a pin, and can continue to add them for every model you photograph.
CUSTOM LETTERHEAD
If you have a custom letterhead for your business, you can upload it onto your phone and enter it into the app so that it goes on top of every one of your release forms. If you dont have one, the app can automatically generate one for you.
A release form… Its better to have it and not need it, than it is to need it and not have it, because you never know what you might end up using your pictures for!
Pros and cons of Release Me app for iPhone and iPad
Release Me app good for
This is a very useful app! I easily created my paragraphs and added my own letterhead!
But:
What if I want to change a phrase or sentence or word in one paragraph..?-unfortunately there is no possibility to edit a paragraph when its once saved...
Sure you could set up a new paragraph and make everything right in there...but this is messing up the oppertunety-list of all paragraphs... (like: Rights 1... Rights 2...)
You can not delete once written paragraphs in no way! So even if you cant edit them you should be able to delete them,right?! No...in this version you cant.
So the only way is to reinstall the app every time your paragraphs-list gets a little messy...
So:
- if you allow to edit paragraphs
- if you allow to delete paragraphs (not deactivate or activating)
THEN this is a really REALLY helpful and perfect app to manage your daily photography life :)
So since there is no update, you have to set up everything right in the beginning :)
Update =
Such a great app. As a photographer it is an extremely valuable tool. Everything is customizable, just wish it had a province option and postal code rather just state & zip. The ability to customize it to my needs & being able to have this on my phone wherever I go is huge.
It would be nice to have
- the location of shoot in the pdf version
- the option to translate fields
- the possibility to add options in the section new model . New adjustable fields.
Created by Joey L , amazing app for model release. Worth every cent. Saves up paper and time.
Some bad moments
The app is good and its doing what it should but it makes me angry if i pay a high price an theres no support on any questions. Nobodey is still working on! No update for the iphone 5!! That sucks!!! So the app is ok but not for this price!!
I purchased the app and it looks great but I really cant figure out how to do anything with it. I emailed the dev but havent heard anything back so Im leaving this review. There are other apps that do a better job. For the price there should be some type of how to manual with the app. Keep looking would be my suggestion.
Its difficult to customize, non-intuitive to send a copy to the model, and my attempt to create my own resulted in a contract that was impossible for you to "accept"... only decline. Non-existent customer service to boot.
I was really hoping this would be the one solution I needed for my releases. Could be a great app with a few addional features and bug fixes. Ive had replies from developers when sending feedback and feature request of free app but support is non existent for this paid app.
Other people have gone into core details that the app misses. I wish this app was a replacement for Easy Release, but it isnt. For one, I want the DoB and stage name of the models but cant customize the info you collect. You cant return to the projects page. The email you see to models should have the subject field filled out, and have the option to CC somebody else (or yourself) by default.
Overall neat, but unusable for my needs.
Ahh, sighs of relief. This app was well needed for my business, and um, well if you have an iphone and youre a photographer and also hate carrying model releases everywhere, especially when travelling, then get this app. Its thought out well, concise, and allows for your own customization. It saves the release as a .pdf and then you can email it to yourself. Brilliant. I like how the projects group works. The one thing Id like to see is a property release built in. When shooting on location I sometimes need property releases too. Can you build one in please?
