Sounds interesting...I wonder if this will be the reason I finally buy an iPad??ProductionPro is one of the more interesting newcomers. $20/month may hurt but you may get everything you need from the free plan.
iPad only.
All depends on who else you're working with and what your workflow normally looks like, but I will say that when I started going to digital light plots my load-in times became noticeably faster. Got my regular crew to download Fieldwire onto their phone/tablet/iPad and we could hammer out a plot together without fighting over paper copies. Could also keep track of odds and ends tasks that needed to be circled back to and could group all of my other production paperwork in one place where everyone could find it at a moment's notice.
Gun to my head I'll still plot out a paper set when I absolutely need to, but almost all of the time it's easier not to.
If you do go the iPad route, I'd look at the iPad Pro and get the Apple Pencil. ProductionPro is interesting and all, but it has a lot of moving parts. You may find it easier to drop the script into the Notes Plus app and just page through the script like you normally would, using the Pencil to jot down whatever blocking or cue notes you like. Also keeps it easy to keep your script simple and export out an analog paper copy of the set in case something happens to the iPad or someone else needs to take your place as SM.
