Good app with room for improvements

For seven years I only used 645 PRO until ios 14 update and then realising the 645 PRO won’t work anymore as the developer stopped developing it. Luckily I found filmic firstlight to my liking. I have tried every other app in the market but none are satisfactory. My request to filmic developer is that please let us have the choice of saving uncompressed tiffs, because as of now the tiff files somehow feel like being compressed with some loss of details because the tiffs I used to get from 645 PRO were bigger and with great details. And then please make the app remember the user settings.

Waste of money

Forces you to give all access permissions or will not work at all.

Frustrating

This is a great app. It is well thought out and very easy to use. If it needs to be a subscription based app then let it happen as I would prefer to subscribe and use an app that is regularly updated (ProRAW, etc) than pay once for an app that stagnates in the past.

Great app! Found bug

This is a great app for what I need it for. Im using an external anamorphic lens and it had the option to de-squeeze the image which is perfect! However...

Ive noticed a thin diagonal line after taking the shots. Through the viewfinder I don't see this line but after it saves to my album I can see the same line in every photo. I tried other apps and even the stock camera app and this only happens with this app. I hope the developers see this and come up with a quick fix!

All in all the app gives you more control over your camera and the ability to take the perfect shot every time! Perfect for cinematographers looking to take still images!

(Developer please read bug)^^

Best camera app

I have used Filmic for video a fair bit and really like it but have always wanted a camera app that saves either tiff or raw (in this case dng). The quality is outstanding and is easy to send it to a photo editing app.

No Portrait Mode

I wish I'd known that Portrait Mode is not available within this app. It's nice to be able to swipe up/down and left/right for exposure and focus, but the Portrait Mode function appears to be available only in the Apple camera app. So I just paid for an app that I'll never use. Deleting now.

Renewal

Great app but since my subscription ended this month I’ve not been able to renew. Please can you help.

After Filmic Pro this was a disappointment

I don’t understand how an app provides less functionality and fewer intuitive features than the default Apple camera app on my iPhone 12 Pro. Filmic Pro offers a much better and user friendly video experience so I thought for sure this app would up my photography game on my new phone. I paid $8 for something I literally never use. Huge disappointment.

Save filter settings

Please, add the functionality for saving preferred filter by default at start of app.
Thank you!

Zoom

I can’t figure out how to zoom on this app. The tutorial says to press the lens tray but I only get a selfie option. Where are the other lens options??
