That other thread is locked so I had to post this in a new one.  Mods or Kay, feel free to move this where ever you think it belongs.

Here's the link to the WSJ article. Please note, there is no mention of any "controversy."

EDIT: Struck the entire article. The app does not deserve any further press from us. I do not wish to reward bad behavior. - PSMK

Is it just me or does this read like a big ol' ad?

I personally would like to bring a tortoise onto the stage, turn it into a racehorse, then into a hat, a song, a dragon and a fountain of water. One can dare anything in the theatre and it is the place where one dares the least. -Ionesco

Anyone download the trial version and give it a whirl?

And from the sound of things, it sounds best for choreographers who have the prep time to put it all into the app - not for stage managers who have to be able to jot down information quickly.

--Mod Note: The Application involved is a rather taboo topic here at SMNetwork after their attempts to use SMNetwork as an advertising medium previously. Thread has been locked due to our desire to limit our mentions of this application as much as possible. This thread has not been deleted as it is clear that it was posted with the intention of informing our members of an industry related article - which is something we wish to encourage.

Whilst we do believe in keeping this forum fairly open and avoiding censorship, the application owners have not abided by SMNetworks Terms and Conditions - and we do not want to reward this behaviour with continued references to their application. SMNetwork ranks rather high on a number of search engines - links between us and this application help increase the application owners web rankings.
