  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Rent Me: New iPhone App Released for REDusers

Olaf Blomerus said:
Love to give it a try, but at $6.99 It's a bit pricey to assume it'll support all regions. Look forward to seeing where it goes.

Olaf,

PM me if you are serious about evaluating the app.

Hi Torrey
Will this work well in the UK, or is it really only going to have accurate rates for the US? Thanks!

Sam,

Also--they're adding currency symbols for other countries including UK.

Quick news--Rent Me just got endorsed by Doug Stanley, Emmy award winning cinematographer on Discovery's "Deadliest Catch" and CEO of 3D company Ridgeline Entertainment:

"This app actually helps me in two ways, it helps me rent gear on board for my productions, and it helps me rent out gear I own to other folks who need some of my specialized equipment. Time is money in all phases of production, and this app helps me make these critical decisions way faster..."

Another endorsement for Rent Me: Capital Film Arts Alliance

"Brilliant concept and a must-have resource tool for today's filmmakers and digital artists. This gives instant access to current equipment value and pricing and is an amazing tool for filmmakers of all levels. I've heard a million questions about equipment costs and I am thrilled to have this resource available!"
Laurie Pederson, Executive Director of the Capital Film Arts Alliance

It would be nice to add items to a list and be able to email/export that, so you can send people an estimate.
Make a project function, which you can give a title and duration

Max,

I know that is one of the top most features right now that is being considered. It will definitely happen, just not sure which update.

Sounds pretty cool, but where is the underlying pricing data coming from?

You enter it. For example... Enter the product you have for rent, "Red Scarlet package" then enter the retail price of the package "$20000"
It will then calculate the low and high daily, weekly, monthly rental rate on that item.

I'm really digging the app, but really want grouping added ASAP.
 
Market research and some digging. Call your local rental house and see if they'll give you their formula...

:-)

Grouping is coming in the first update. Version 1.1 coming out next week with other currencies, grouping/bundling, and the Mooch List.

Is this like the Kelly Blue Book for equipment rentals?

Folks,

If you shoot or post RED, this iPhone app will have a direct bearing on the way you do business:

Love to get some feedback and forward to the developers.

They do have a number of codes for a free copy of the app and they we're looking for endorsees. If you look at the website and think you could add a line of endorsement, I could facilitate a code over to you for the download:

Terry, if this works as advertised, it would be perfect for me right now. I've just begun renting my kit, and I'm struggling with these questions constantly. I'd be delighted to write an endorsement for a download code.

Got one from the developers and sending your way.

Just remember, there are more features coming. Don't ding the app on features that are currently not present, they are coming...
