We are grateful to Philip Bloom, MediaStorm, and JiashuoMedia for their valuable suggestions for this update.

Reviews of Protake

  • So close to perfect

    I tried a lot of pro camera apps recently, and this is by far the best for iPhone 15 Pro if you need features like remote control and recording to external. However there are some critical issues that need to be resolved with an update:

    - When remote monitoring is turned on, the phone starts to overheat. Not sure if this is an iOS issue or Protake issue. It didn’t have that problem when I first started using it, so an iOS update may have caused it
    - Need more ISO presets or ability to manually set a value. The 15 Pro’s native ISO with the most stops is 1250, but it’s impossible to set it to that with the slider
    - Need to be able to remote monitor in vertical orientation
    - Need to be able to remotely control exposure and other settings via Remote

    And one nice to have would be ability to remotely playback video recorded to external SSD, but certainly not a deal breaker.

    This app is still worth 5 stars in the current state. I’m only rating 4 to hopefully get the attention of the developer, and will gladly update it to 5 when these are addressed!
  • Remote monitoring works but is limited

    I started using this primarily for the remote monitoring function. Overall the app is better designed than any of the other camera apps I’ve tried. The remote monitoring, though, works but is very limited. It doesn’t show grids or tilt and it only has focus and zoom controls. If the remote side saw exactly what the recording side saw and gave access to the full controls, this app would be perfect.
  • Great functionality but couldn’t save

    Functionality list was impressive. I got it because of social media review.

    I made a mistake by testing only on a short recording and was happy with it.
    During a live performance of my kid’s symphony group, using my iphone pro max with plenty of memory left, it consistently ran into ‘out of storage’ problems and cost me a few recordings.
    Test it out first.
