Great idea. Terrible development. No support. ### 4/5 — Easy to use *2019-09-04, version 1.2.1* Very easy to use and responsive. Would like to see more typeface options in the future. ### 4/5 — This is a awesome idea. *2019-09-04, version 1.2.1* I love the way this app makes something complex feel simple. Tracking text can be time consuming but now you can basically just drag and drop. I wish there was a way for this app to add track text in a prerecorded video. But it is still very cool ### 4/5 — Good App!! *2019-09-04, version 1.2.1* The AR tracking works really well and I can see plenty of potential for its uses. Also like that it records in a 2:1 ratio in landscape and it’s free! Be great to see a greater selection of fonts in future updates. Good job! ### 2/5 — Only 2 seconds *2019-04-07, version 1.2.1* For whatever reason, I’m only getting 2 seconds recording time on a 6s Plus. Didn’t used to be the case, hope you can sort it out because I love the app otherwise. ### 2/5 — Concept 5/5 *2019-03-19, version 1.2.1* I am a loyal youtube follower from Matti and Peter and heard 'bout your App from Matti's vlog.. I wanted to actually support you but I have to tell the truth if I really want to support you guys... It is my 4th day trying to capture something on this with my iPhone 6S+ and the Font keeps rolling away as soon as I hit the + button and can't find it or even edit it... BIG ISSUE there ! You should first let this app be tested for free and put some "in app purshases" on special fonts or extra options once you do updates... Keep working on this one guys this is a really cool idea only need to be perfected with time. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work as advertised. *2018-11-11, version 1.2.1* The idea is really cool but the app doesn’t work as advertised. This should not cost money im mad that I paid for it. Text doesn’t stay in place. There are only 5 or 6 basic fonts. There is no direction on how to use the app. I do not recommend. It needs a lot of work. ### 3/5 — Nice App, but with bugs... *2018-06-25* The idea is super cool and the app is easy to use. Unfortunately it produces faulty video bars on top and bottom on the iPhone X. Please fix this. ### 3/5 — Batt eater *2018-06-15, version 1.2.0* Great app but with 3D lettering it eats your battery ### 3/5 — Some updates needed *2018-05-19, version 1.2.0* - some emojis don’t work - would be cool if it could also take pictures - update to fit the screen of an iPhone X system. I get these magnification bars on the top and bottom of my screen -the magnification bars show in the video - one of the icon get cut out a little but when screen rotated it works fine (on iPhone X) Over all it’s a cool app and can’t wait to see what it’ll become. ### 2/5 — Non registra *2018-04-14* Utilizzo quest’applicazione con iPhone 7, ma dopo aver settato la scritta e attivato la registrazione l’app si chiude. Anche se registrasse il prezzo sarebbe troppo alto (non aspettatevi nulla di professionale). Attendo risposta dagli sviluppatori! Perché non mi funziona? ### 3/5 — Da migliorare *2018-03-22* Idea buona, ma non compatibile con iPhone X ### 2/5 — Consuma tantissima batteria *2018-01-25* Idea molto originale, ma il problema principale è che consuma tantissima batteria. In più non mette a fuoco bene l’immagine (IPhone 8 Plus). Purtroppo soldi non spesi bene. ### 2/5 — Great app. Not for iPhone X yet. *2018-01-24, version 1.2.0* I loved Placer Cam. It was a lot of fun to use for unique titles. But it reacts very strangely to the iPhone X’s screen space. Basically it duplicates the top and bottom portions of the screen and uses that to fill in the extra space. So you get an odd output video. Hopefully it’ll be fixed soon. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great idea, unusable execution. *2020-11-04, version 1.2.1* Would love this app... if it worked. Incredibly buggy on my iPhone XR. Recorded playback is constantly jittery and not remotely smooth, even with a gimbal (definitely a software issue). Also, everytime you pan the camera, no matter how fast or slow, the app refocuses the video as soon as you stop loving. Every. Time. Unfortunately cannot use the app for anything in its current state, which is a shame because the idea is fantastic, and the controls are pretty intuitive. ### 1/5 — Not working *2019-09-06, version 1.2.1* It’s not working with IPhone XR ### 1/5 — App will only record 2 seconds of footage! *2019-03-07, version 1.2.1* I hope this is a bug. I’m running the app on a iPhone 6s Plus with 67gb free space. Everything seems to work fine, until I press record and it simply stops after 2 seconds. ### 1/5 — Needs optimisation for iPhone X (let alone XS / XSMax) *2018-10-24, version 1.2.0* Used to love this app - then I upgraded my phone and it’s now unusable. The bizarre extra bars top and bottom mean that the AR is always confused meaning the text jumps around in shot, or flies off the edge of the screen. Please can you update the app - it’s not been touched for a year, and I’ve paid to use it. ### 1/5 — Basic and amateur looking. Not worth the low price. *2018-07-29, version 1.2.0* After a few minutes of use I know I won’t use this again. The videos are amateur looking and cheap. I’d be embarrassed to show off anything made with this. User interface is horrible too. It feels like someone copied a better app. ### 1/5 — Appears to be abandoned *2018-06-26, version 1.2.0* June 2018 and the app still doesn’t support the iPhone X ### 1/5 — Da aggiornare *2018-06-12* Con la nuova versione di AR Kit si ha a disposizione la possibilità di mettere a fuoco. Sarebbe ora di aggiornare! ### 1/5 — Diciamo... *2018-05-06* Sarebbe buona se concedesse la possibilità di importare un video dalla propria galleria ### 1/5 — Phone boiling hot in 30 seconds! *2018-03-29, version 1.2.0* Cool concept. Unfortunately my iPhone 7+ can’t handle the extreme heat:( it produces almost immediately ### 1/5 — An update would be nice *2018-03-10, version 1.2.0* Still doesn’t work on iPhone X. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Grazie veramente *2020-01-02* Ho aspettato un sacco prima che diventasse gratis e finalmente adesso è mia. GRAZIE!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-09-06, version 1.2.1* I follow this guy’s YouTube account and heard about this app. Very simple to use and can creat some great text on videos. For the future I hope they add more fonts and an option to edit and match colours rather than the colours already available, but considering this is free, it really is excellent. ### 5/5 — Nice! *2019-09-06* Useful for IG stories! ### 5/5 — Best *2019-09-04* Applications like these can help us make content anywhere anytime ### 5/5 — Bug *2019-07-23, version 1.2.1* When I wanna record my text It kicks me out of app ### 5/5 — Perfect for swimming at magic springs *2019-05-19, version 1.2.1* When my bff dad gets tickets to magic I come wit da ar reple ### 5/5 — Davvero bella *2017-11-28* Comprata per un video di EfremsTube. Ottima per le trofei di Instagram ### 5/5 — Ottima! *2017-11-27* Comprata grazie ad un video del mio caro Efrem’s Tube. ### 5/5 — Lots of potential *2017-10-22, version 1.1.0* A good start to what could be an amazing app. I’m loving it already. Oh and saves key framing on FCPX dam I’m lazy. Good work devs. ### 5/5 — .PNG support pls! *2017-10-19, version 1.1.0* LOVE this app! How awesome would it be if we could place .pngs in our videos!? Awesome for logos and floating heads. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
