  • Great App

    I used this app to make GIF and it’s works really well. I also used it to edit my videos before sharing it to my social media account. I haven’t used the paid version yet because as far as the fee version goes, it is great for me.
  • Amazing Bokeh effect. Totally love it’s video editing skills

    I totally love love love it’s Bokeh effect and it’s editing ability; fast forward,slomo,video/picture in video effect .... My only issue (that I can think of right now) is the fact that after cutting some bits in a video during editing, if there were any texts, they would become disorganized so I would have to start rearranging them again after cutting. Imagine having to rearrange texts & pictures & mini videos every single time you make a little “cut”(/change) for a 30minutes long video

  • Needs slowmo

    The only thing holding this app back from five stars is slowmo. For that buttery B Roll combined with what this app is capable of doing would be a game changer. The line is blurry and only getting more so moving forward. It’s never been a better time to be a mobile videographer. But give us slowmo, please. Nail that and boom!

    Check both apps out, you won’t be disappointed.

  • I’ll never need iMovie again!

    I can’t believe all the features! I initially got this to try the presets but then I found all the other features. This is an amazing app for the cost. It’s like I have a DSLR camera and editing software all in one. I’ll never go back to using anything else again. This app has saved my sanity and my pocket! I hope there is a version for Mac desktop soon!

  • Question

    Why is there a line through portrait mode when I’m trying to take a video?
  • Excellent

    Love it !
  • False advertising

    It’s called focos live which is very similar to focus live but you can’t do any focus things (aperture) without the paid version
  • On the surface it’s perfect, but has many flaws

    Purchased the pro version, because I thought this was perfect at first.

    But after I had a look at the footage I took on a large computer screen, I noticed there is very obvious ‘blocky glitching’ in the background in areas that aren’t in focus. This is far less obvious on the iPhone 12 Pro screen. That is very disappointing since the purpose of this app is surely to make videos look more professional.

    On top of that, the bokeh does not seem to wrap around the edges entirely of people in focus, making it look very artificial. Again, this is more obvious on big screen.

    FYI, I export in 30fps at 4K on portrait mode on an iPhone 12 Pro, but the exported footage does not look 4K at all. Since then, I read the developers response to a review stating “The portrait video only outputs to 1080p, and there’s no way to export the 1080p 4K with better quality.” But the Pro version claims “Choose 1080p & 4K as export resolution for portrait videos & photos.” 🤷‍♂️
    This comment was made before the release of the iPhone 12 so I don’t know if it is capable of being exported at 4K now, but it does not look it.

    Lastly, I don’t like that it is not made clear what resolution you are recording in. I can change the frame rate but not the resolution. Is it locked in at 1080p? 4K? Why can’t I change it to 720p? It feels like this is something that should an option like any other camera app.

  • From a run and gun videographer

    In progress, but...nothing else is close, stands out from the crowd. Get it. With the iPhone 11 and 12, you can approximate true film results. Bokeh is great. The only reason I cannot give this five stars is due to the lack of stabilization. This feature is available on a lot of other apps. Would love to see it implemented in this one as well. You can always go out and buy a stabilizer, but for a run and gun shooting straight off your iPhone, this would be an invaluable addition. Thumbs up to the creator!

  • This app would be great with cinema stabilization.

    This camera app could quickly rise to the top of the camera app food chain with 10 bit Dolby Vision. It would also benefit immensely from Cinema 1 / Cinema 2 level stabilization by tapping into the IBIS hardware / sesnsor shift technology of the iPhone 12 Pro Max. You should also consider adding ISO control, shutter speed ,white balance control and 24 fps. I hope some of these items are already scheduled for inclusion in your next update?
