I’ve had the camera for a few weeks and it’s awesome! I’m a huge fan of the instant grading/lut profiles but for some reason the app closes every time I open it immediately. It’s frustrating given that I paid for it.

We're sorry to hear you're running into trouble. If you reach out to support@lux.camera we'll dive right into what could be happening.I was looking for a good video app and found kino now I have halide and specter and they both work great and I thought kino would too but sometimes it refuses to open or crashes and the only way to fix it is to delete the app and redownload it causing me to lose footage if this is fixed I think it would be a great app but for the time being just wait

If you reach out to support@lux.camera we'll dive right into what could be happening.Great simple interface and the LUTs look promising but doesn’t work on my iPhone 13 mini. Was going to make a video with it today under time sensitive conditions and it crashed hard as soon as I hit record, crashing so hard it killed Springboard and forced a soft reboot.
Needless to say the Apple camera app fired right up and had no issues. Have no idea how this was bungled so hard. Please dogfood on devices other than the latest and greatest.

If you reach out to support@lux.camera we'll dive right into what could be happening.The app is pretty great but randomly out of nowhere I’ve been noticing that all of my videos captured, the last couple of seconds added at the end are just stills of the last captured frame, making all of the videos I captured essentially useless. Also, I tried importing numerous LUTs and most of them always gives an error saying something like “There was an error importing your LUT - We failed to parse line 3 of the file” for instance.

Bottom line - for $20 I expected better customer support. It’s been several weeks since I contacted support and have only received one response asking me more questions that were already in my ticket. The app advertises that it will write to a thumb drive or hard drive but it will not stop writing to my phone even though it detects the drive. The LUTs also only work with HEVC and not with ProRes which is disappointing if you want to bake in one of their looks. To be honest though, I would never use any of these LUTs professionally as they all look stock and none feel appropriate for any content. I hope this app improves over time but I don’t recommend the purchase in its current form. Stick to the camera app on iPhone, this doesn’t go above and beyond.
as a Vlogger this app hits it out of the park! Ive asked for the volume shutter to work and the added that.. now my vlogging set up is complete!!! this is better than the Final cut camera app from apple.. plz keep this simple to use and i love i can record non pro res video on an external SD card! apple default camera only lets you record pro res on external SD cards or ssd that are fast enough! thanks team!
I love the fundamental concept behind Kino and I applaud how hard the team is working to put the finishing touches on this great app. The provided LUTs are interesting but I’d like to see a curated library of LUTS users can individually download. I’ve gotta say that after using Apple’s new FCP camera app - I was more than happy to go back to Kino. One last comment - as I said - I applaud the fresh take on controlling the camera’s essential features while allowing the camera person to keep their concentration on the story they are telling. This is one great app!

I love the fundamental concept behind this app but it’s obviously a work in progress. The lack of support for a Bluetooth shutter needs to be fixed pronto. The provided LUTs are interesting but I’d like to see a curated library of LUTS users can individually download. I’ve gotta say that after using Apple’s new FCP camera app - I was more than happy to go back to Kino. One last comment - I have now sent three emails to the company’s support line and have yet to receive a response from them. Take that for what it’s worth. As I said - I applaud the fresh take on controlling the camera so I don’t mean to discourage the developers but as I have pointed out there are a few issues where the app needs some polish.
I already emailed their support but I figure given the $20 price tag, this needs to be highlighted. Recorded a bunch of videos today and most of them either have no audio or the audio cuts out after 2~ seconds. Tried exporting the videos to my Mac and the audio is simply gone. Inexcusable for an app that costs this much especially when there are free alternatives out there.
