This app could be five stars, but it's not quite there yet
I am SERIOUSLY urging the developer of this app to return to this app and upgrade a few things here and there
Using the camera for face detection (similar to the DJI lidar system), allowing for you to virtually offset the point that the focus is looking at in 3D space, essentially allowing you to place the lidar without needing it to be exactly parallel with the lens to function properly, and maybe a more guided calibration process
obviously that's a lot to develop, but I would seriously be willing to pay upwards not $100 for an app that does that stuff, easily.i'm eden
Bluetooth connection not working
I was super excited to use this app but when I connect my camera… nothing works. I try to change the focus value and nothing changes on my camera. It’s very frustrating. Please let me know if there’s a fix as I spent the money and would love to use this app.Ebayloverboy69
Developer Response
Hi there, I have tested this app with Panasonic Lumix lenses (focus by wire) and a Sigma Art lens (18-35, f1.8) connected to a BMPCC 4K using a Metabones 0.71x and they work as expected. If you go to the app website and leave a comment telling me your setup and I will investigate.Incredible app
You can spend several hundreds of dollars and get a dedicated LiDAR device, or $12 and get this. It’s as simple as that. This app is certainly a little rough around the edges, but now means I can enjoy perfectly tracked dolly or Steadicam shots where before I needed to have a dedicated focus puller on the shoot.Fmonaky

Description of Focus Puller
Any Blackmagic camera that allows a Bluetooth connection and a lens that allows the camera to control the focus will work with this app and one of its two focus control solutions.
All of the features can be tried for free for an unlimited time.
MANUAL MODE
Manual Mode will work with any iOS device and solves a common problem when using stills lenses to shoot moving pictures: a limited focus throw. Using this app, the focus throw can be extended, allowing precise control to match that of a lens designed for a movie camera. Markers and optional haptic feedback allow the focus puller to feel when the focus reaches a set point without having to look at the image, making the experience closer to a traditional focus puller.
LiDAR FOCUS CONTROL
LiDAR Focus Control is available for iOS devices that have a LiDAR scanner. After calibration, point the device at any subject and the app will instantaneously measure the distance using LiDAR and calculate the focus value for the camera.
Both of these solutions mean the focus puller can stand and operate separate to the camera operator.
