Subscriptions?… seriously??…

So. This app a few years ago was thirty dollars. Them. To upgrade it. Was another thirty dollars. Now… it’s becoming subscription based?… This is getting deleted. Cadrage is a much better app. And a one time purchase.

Fantastic Onset View Finding Tool

We have been using Artemis for years onset as a view finder. Nic has been super helpful making changes and personalizing camera formats and lenses as the new technology evolves.

Been using it for years now

Had some hiccups along the way, but it’s been pretty solid for a while now. Use it on every tech scout.

Very useful app with fantastic support.

My friend who’s a cinematographer recommended this app and I have to say it’s pretty easy to use even if you’re not a professional. Really helps setting up and framing shots for YouTube videos. And the support from the developer is the best I’ve ever received.

Great App and Support

I just ran into a problem,
I contacted support, and they called me back the same day. The problem is solved—that’s great!

Response from developer

No problem!! We are here to help and will get back to you within 12 hours of an enquiry. Thanks for your support.

Very good

Everything is very cool, especially the viewing angle for framing, I own a Nikon ZR camera and I really want you to add it in future updates

Nikon ZR not updated

Please add soon.

Response from developer

Artemis has the capability of adding any camera via the Custom Camera function. If you email us at support@chemicalwedding.tv we can help you do this. Once we have verified data for the Nikon ZR camera we can add it. In fact we use results from Custom Camera input in our verification process. I'm adding the ZR today.

App Doesn’t Work

I purchased this app in the bundle with Helios. It used to work fine ( a little slow between shots), but it hasn’t worked since I upgraded my OS to the latest versions. I open it, and it just closes out before it opens, every time.

Bugs / missing photos

Extremely disappointing. The app is full of bugs and runs painfully slow even on the newest iPhone. Photos are missing and don’t appear either in the iPhone library or inside the Artemis app. It used to be reliable, but the quality has clearly gone downhill. At this point, I’m switching to Cadrage.

Updated database ?

When do you think you’re database will be updated ? For exemple, the new Nikon Zr is missing from the app. Thank you by advance, great app.

Necessary tool for filmmaking
thank you !

La aplicación no abre

La tengo instalada en mi iPhone 16 pro. Estoy en rodaje y la aplicación se cerró. Cada vez que intento volver a acceder a ella se cierra. Ya reinicie el celular y sigue sin dejarme entrar

Fov number doesn’t change when aspect ratio frameline changed

It will be good if the fov number changes accordingly based on the aspect ratio frameline change

Response from developer

Many thanks for your note. Could. you send me a quick email: nic@chemicalwedding.tv Many thanks in hope

Warning! This app does not function unless you give them full access to your photo library

Until this is updated to allow app function with only limited access (which would still allow them to save photos to your phone) this review will remain up.

It’s incredibly condescending to have some cutesy message saying ‘We promise not to tell anyone what we find there…’
How about you piss off my personal data and function like the app I paid real money for.

Terrible

Keeps crashing with all me scout images

Could be the gold standard

I love this app, but it’s constantly has issues that really have no excuse existing in this day and age. Taking pictures with the viewfinder is insanely slow. The app needs 4 seconds between snapping a photo, or often doesn’t register photo button at all.

If the photos in the album exceed 80 photos, review photos just falls apart entirely. Pictures you’ve taken won’t save, or previous photos won’t appear at all. It just crashes and can’t handle it. Why is this an issue on an iPhone 15 Pro in 2025? Especially when I’m on set and need to pull up a reference that is no longer even viewable. It’s this reason that I’ve switched to Cadrage where none of these issues exist.

Keen for you to try the new updates. Do you like the faster lens switching?

UX가 정말 개판

너무 불편하고 개선도 안하고

Response from developer

nic@chemicalwedding.tv로 이메일을 보내주시겠어요? 문제점을 이해합니다.

Artemis

Great App. Great support ! Absolutely perfect !

Doesn't work without FULL access to your photo library.

Doesn't work without FULL access to your photo library at all. Meaning if you do not give full read and write permissions to your full photo library it does not even start but says:

"PHOTO LIBRARY
We also need access to the Photo Library. We promise not to tell anyone what we find there.
In fact, we wont even look. We'll just save photos there."
