User reviews

Phase One iQ3 working advocates

I shoot phase one iQ3 100mp and it will not tether to the laptop and then launch capture pilot server. Work around is usb to laptop and adhoc WiFi from the back to my iPad.

Embarrassment

This app will make you look bad in front of clients. Capture One has the audacity to charge its users every year with incomplete updates. They should be disgraced to not fix this.

Don’t buy

After purchasing find out that though capture one and phase one were born from the same company, now the support for 100mp A series doesn’t exist. It was 6 years old you’d think the developers could keep it at least maintained. But after purchasing it (despite owning phase) doesn’t connect because connection error. Shameful execution!,

Fast and easy

I have the app running on a computer, iPad, and phone without issues. The reason for the 4-star rating is that it can't run on AppleTV for a wireless display.

Handy tool but unstable

Great having a pilot on set although it crashes every 10-15 minutes
