Easy Release - Model Releases

Up until i found this app everything I had done in the way of recording models releases was done on paper. Unfortunately more times than not I lost the paperwork. In addition to those problems I also had to keep redoing the paperwork even though I had worked with the model several times in the past. This app makes it easy to bring forward all the information for a particular model as well as make note of any particular occurrences during the shoot.

I’ve been using this for all my releases for more than two years now. It’s nice to be able to have multiple different releases you can setup for the various situation you’ll be shooting photos in. Having your models and shoot info on the device makes for quick releases. Adding new models, shoots, and property is relatively quick as well so if your on location with new people you can just quickly add them. Saving and sending completed releases to your model is a breeze. The app will also save them to iCloud, Google Drive, and Dropbox. It is missing OneDrive though. You won’t regret purchasing this app. This one won’t break the bank and is very useful. As a photographer we spend thousands on our equipment and this is another tool you need in your bag so you can afford to skip a latte or two and purchase this.

Easy Release works well on my iPad Pro 10.5" (2017). It requires Apple Mail to be configured if you want to email releases directly from the app. I don't use Apple Mail, so this is an annoyance, but as long as I don't actively run Apple Mail, it won't download mail as I've set it to fetch mail manually. Having the releases upload directly to Dropbox is great! You can purchase a couple of different upgrades from inside Easy Release, but there's no way to test them out to see if you really need them. So far, for me, I haven't needed the upgrades. I tend to agree with other reviewers in that we've paid for the app, it seems a bit strange for the developers to charge nearly 25% more for some features which many believe should be part of the app. Technical Support from the developer was fast and thorough.

Would like the ability to customize a little bit more, like being able to delete some of the built in questions that are unnecessary for my model release to make my signing process quicker. Absolutely needs full iCloud syncing so I can see all of my releases (not just model photos....) from my iPad or iPhone. And it could stand to look a little nicer, less 1990 and a little more 2017 with nice typefaces and a lighter more modern look. Definitely gets the job done, but not without picky gripes. Would recommend overall and haven't found an app that looks better that does everything I need (custom release, model photo, signatures, QUICK for fast paced events)

I don’t remember how much I paid for the app originally and I did purchase all the add-ons and I have to say it was and is completely worth the cost. I am an amateur photographer that love shooting people and this has made it easier to have the paperwork with me without having to carry paperwork with me. It helps to protect the models and me. The customizable features are great. I find examples all over the web and can customize them to my need depending on the subject matter. With regards to support, I have reached out once and received a reply in less than an hour. Great customer service. Finally, it should be noted that the doesn’t provide legal advice. If you want to be 100% sure, check the language of your release forms with an attorney. This app is only a tool. A great tool but should not replace legal advice. Keep up the great work.
