### 3/5 — Log-In für presets nicht wirklich toll, aber…

*2026-06-18*

Das Log-In ist der größte Kritik Punkt an dieser App, da man ohne Log-In nicht seine presets laden kann. Daher 2 Sterne Abzug. Ansonsten eine sehr gute App. Wenn nicht sogar das beste auf dem Markt. Sehr gute Verzahnung zu den Produkten (Objektiven) 💪☺️

### 1/5 — Used to be a good app

*2026-06-15, version 1.24*

Used to be a good app but unfortunately it has no updates for a long time. Looks like an abandoned application.

### 1/5 — Pido idioma en español ya que la compré

*2026-06-04, version 1.24*

Es muy difícil traducirla al español ya que es mi idioma

### 1/5 — Apple Log only in ProRes

*2026-05-26, version 1.24*

I bought this app specifically for high bitrate video, but if I cannot combine it with Apple Log, it’s virtually useless and doesn’t offer anything compared to Blackmagic Camera. Also the interface is very clunky and unintuitive. Do not buy.

### 1/5 — Lag

*2026-04-18*

Its the worst purchase of my life Its always lag and got freez wasted my money

### 3/5 — iso

*2026-03-29, version 1.24*

this app is quite good, however why i cant put iso to auto and exposure to manual….

### 3/5 — Auto focus and other else mabye?

*2026-01-19, version 1.24*

This cam is real beast but somehow im not really sure but this app have auto focus or not,btw please improve this cam app because i fall in love with it so much

### 3/5 — Too fiddly

*2026-01-04, version 1.24*

I was looking for a new all purpose camera app for both stills and video. Beastcam on paper fulfils the requirements. However, in use I found the controls too small and fiddly to use and sometimes the camera just started recording while I thought I was just setting up. Bright scenes can obliterate some of the camera overlay icons.  I don’t care for the T&C’s regarding the account needed to store presets etc. 
if you want a camera in the manner of Blackmagic camera it’s probably up there. 
But if you just need to whip it out and shoot you can’t beat the built in Apple Camera app and the pics are just as good.

### 1/5 — ProRes and Log not Working on iPhone 17 Pro Max

*2025-11-19, version 1.23*

In the process of ordering a Beastgrip rig for my iPhone, I bought the BeastCam app. But the app is not showing ProRes or Log options. In the format window that should allow a Log slider to be enabled, that control is missing.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-10-29, version 1.23*

iPhone 17 pro max.   Doesn’t allow to use zoom, at all.
