### 3/5 — Can they just fix this?

*2021-12-03, version 1.6.5*

So many problems. Half the time it won’t import slomo movies, it can’t seem to crop movies anymore. 

Please, fix this.

### 2/5 — Used to be fantastic- until it was broken

*2021-07-19, version 1.6.5*

This used to be a favorite app. 
Then, one day, it stopped allowing videos to be imported. 
Hipstamatic makes some cool apps and this was one of them. 
But, it appears they’ve abandoned this one because it’s clearly been broken for a long time. What a shame!
Hipstamatic-people: if you’re reading this. Please fix your app. When you fix apps we trust you enough to invest money on your other apps. If you don’t fix what is broken, we lose our trust in your work and then why invest any more money?

### 1/5 — Unable to load video clip.

*2020-05-22, version 1.6.5*

Tried everything.   iPhone 11 Pro Max.    I’ve never felt so ripped off by an app.   Thanks Hipstamatic.

### 1/5 — Old & Out dated

*2020-04-20, version 1.6.5*

Hasn’t been updated in a year. Sad.

### 1/5 — No longer working properly

*2020-04-12, version 1.6.5*

This app no longer is saving videos as it used to 
When it used to work properly I would have rated the app easily a 4. It’s a shame the app no longer functions as it used to as it is extremely frustrating to not be able to save and have to ultimately delete videos as a result of an issue with the app basic functions.

### 1/5 — Cinematic not working

*2020-03-28, version 1.6.5*

Not working

### 1/5 — What is going on???  Broken for months?

*2020-03-26, version 1.6.5*

I’m super disappointed.  This used to be my favourite app.  I used it everyday.  But one day you could no longer add video or combine clips due to an error.  Well that error has been there for ages and it’s seriously disappointing that no one cares to fix this.  I’ve been a loyal customer for YEARS and I want to use the app the way I always have been able to.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t import anymore

*2020-01-20, version 1.6.5*

It used to be so good, but importing has worked in months. 👎🏻😕

### 1/5 — No longer imports my clips

*2019-12-29, version 1.6.5*

The app no longer imports my clips. But I see it also hasn’t been updated in a year. It appears Hipstamatic is no longer supporting this app.

### 1/5 — Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!!

*2019-12-07, version 1.6.5*

Paid to import videos from camera roll. Videos can’t be imported from camera roll!!

### 2/5 — IPHONE update GLITCHEs!

*2019-11-23, version 1.6.5*

Since IPHONE update, I cannot upload a certain video  files 😞Please help! App support was not relevant to cinematic on website.

### 3/5 — Love for long time but...

*2019-11-11, version 1.6.5*

Can’t upload anything anymore :( please fix. I have loved this app for years. So sad it’s now not working properly.

### 3/5 — Saves with black thumbnail

*2019-11-05, version 1.6.5*

Why does it save black? Also, it crashes when I try to combine clips.

### 1/5 — Used to be a favorite...nowadays not so much

*2019-10-22, version 1.6.5*

Used this app for so many marketing videos for my company. Then one day it stopped loading videos....that was three months ago. I’ve uninstalled/reinstalled, hard/soft resets and I’ve emailed support with no reply. Needless to say, it still doesn’t work. Just send a fix since the app hasn’t been updated in nine months. Quit pushing Hipstamatic Subscription camera and put some focus on the rest of the app bundle please.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-06-16, version 1.6.5*

I just purchased this app and paid. As soo as i try to edit my video the app closes. Tried multiple times. Uninstalled and still not working. I want my money back!

### 1/5 — Video is a green mess!

*2019-04-14, version 1.6.5*

Just downloaded and the video looked like green static. Is there a way to fix this please?

### 1/5 — Imported videos are weirdly cropped

*2018-12-30, version 1.6.5*

While I appreciate adapting the app for the Max screen, for a long while now nearly any video I import is cropped in half vertically, making the app useless. Unfortunate since this app gives me very unique effects. Please correct as I’ve bought every film pack available.

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2018-12-29, version 1.6.5*

Used this app since it’s launch bought all filters and this app just doesn’t work, iPhone XS won’t import clips any long when taking video they come out with distorted green lines sad because this was a diamond in the rough

### 1/5 — It was amazing but now

*2022-04-06, version 1.6.5*

It used to be amazing now it crushes alot especially with portrait videos

### 1/5 — Ripoff

*2022-01-06, version 1.6.5*

Why is this app on sale if it doesn’t work? Can’t save anything. What a waste of time and money!

### 1/5 — App not working...

*2021-05-23, version 1.6.5*

Ahh... this app was so good, every video I import is 3/4 black

### 1/5 — This app is no longer supported

*2021-04-12, version 1.6.5*

Too many bugs and broken features. It was a great app when it launched but please be aware that wide videos won’t upload/download before you sworn money on filters.

### 1/5 — Problem when importing a video as portrait

*2021-02-07, version 1.6.5*

When ever I try to import a video as portrait is fails to load it and edit it! It’s been a long time since I get this error and nobody of your team has even tried to fix it!?

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2020-11-20, version 1.6.5*

Needs update

### 1/5 — Unable to load clip

*2020-10-04, version 1.6.5*

9 times out of 10 I get ‘unable to load clip’. Worthless!

### 1/5 — This app used to be great

*2020-09-19, version 1.6.5*

Now it can’t even process the videos I record so I can watch/post them. I loved adding my own music, but it is unusable now.

### 1/5 — Hipsta Has Given Up

### 5/5 — My Favorite video app

*2023-01-06, version 1.6.5*

was!  Please update the app.  It crashes on start since the last iOS update.

### 5/5 — Can’t download Richy

*2018-12-28, version 1.6.5*

I use this app a lot. Trying to buy the new Richy filter and it won’t respond!

### 5/5 — Much, much Improved

*2016-11-14, version 1.6.1*

First off Thanks so much to Customer Support for exceptional service and follow-up with my problem of app crashing after uploading the newest Socrates film. You guys are super truly! Socrates is my favorite film so far followed by Beard which always makes me think of So Cal beaches love the colors.  I am also loving this app version because of variety of features that were not there in the earliest version that I can remember i.e..capture setting from 5 seconds all the way to 60 seconds. Video resolution HD or standard and stabilization. Keep it up Cinematic.

### 5/5 — What's in my creative pocket? Cinematic!!

*2016-10-04, version 1.5.10*

as a video artist, this application allows me to do awesome things that I can't always do with the still picture. The application is very easy to use and there are $.99 extra effects that you can utilize for your video production. it doesn't take long before you are making some truly cool artistic videos and sharing them with the rest of the world. I really love that I can pick my own music to my videos and I am really impressed with the overall results of the video quality. the application keeps it fun and simple and i use it when i'm not working on still image artwork. The application is completely stable and the support team is phenomenal. I love what Hipstamatic offers on the camera side and I certainly love with Cinematic offers on the video side. I would love to see more video editing options and more options for photo implementation into video in the future. All in all, I love this app. and feel it allows me to deliver my art expression as I envision it.

### 5/5 — The Dope Shorty

*2014-07-21, version 1.2*

This APP kills it for easy use, a professional look & if- regardless of whether you are an amateur or professional- if you're smart and think like an editor- a good filmmaker has to think like an editor before & WHILE (especially with this APP which makes it fun & a challenge) you're shooting, not just thinking about getting the shot and stringing it together later, but if you have your shot list in your head before you press that button & think about what you're shooting while you're shooting it, taking your finger off just to change set ups, you can make the editing process later that much better & more fun. 

I love editing and was especially happy to see that when you add music you can scroll through the song and find that perfect section to use. Score being such a huge element to any film, other APPs that promise "add music, too!" And then only allow you to add the 1st however many seconds long your clip is to the clip drives me CRAZY.

GREAT JOB!

There's only 1 thing that remains to be seen because I haven't gotten to where I need to try it yet, but will soon.  After I do, I'll be sure to come back and report on it, because if it works, it would make this APP not just the dope short format film APP but the dopest.

### 5/5 — new features make this absolute best...

*2014-07-06, version 1.1.1*

I have enjoyed KILLING my battery with this app. I have an almost hour long video of my kids doing all sorts of things. It's got our trip to Reno, Lake Tahoe. it's got our trip to monterrey, and LA. I have been worried that it will crash and I will lose everything, but so far it's handled it. It does take a while to edit it though, but thats to be expected. please add some more film cartridges. I will gladly purchase them. 

Thank you

### 5/5 — Mesmerizing; an achievement in an app.

*2014-05-10, version 1.0.1*

This is an amazing application, without question. I am unaware of any other [iPhone] app that can capture snippets of time and make it look like a variety of cinematic dreams.  I purchased all of the additional filters within a day of playing with 'Cinamatic', and they are well worth it.  The quality of the different filters is second-to-none. I would hope for upgrades in a variety of areas, but I'll let the developers do what they want for now. In the meantime, I'm going to play.

### 4/5 — One of the best

*2020-03-07, version 1.6.5*

One of the best video filter apps.
It’s a shame they kind of abandoned the development.

### 4/5 — STILL a Faithful User

*2017-04-15, version 1.6.4*

The developers are are awesome at fixing issue right away, If there is any. The filters are not all free but they are worth the .99 cents. There are great choices. I can wait for more filters. I love the fact that I can upload my own footage and still capture footage in the app. Now the only reason why I gave this app 4 rating is because I can't upload it Instagram. I don't use the apps that are linked but I can still save the edits and upload myself. Lol. I guess I'm just being lazy. 

👍🏾👍🏾

### 4/5 — Press record and see what happens...

*2016-01-04, version 1.5.8*

First impression: this is a fun and intuitive way to create short, whimsical video clips. You shoot and edit on the fly, so it's probably not an app geared for control freaks. On the other hand, if you're like me and enjoy the spontaneity and unpredictability of things like Hipstamatic, then this might be just what you're looking for. It would be nice to have more image control up front. I'll buy film packs and lenses until the cows come home, but it seems a lot to ask your customers buy an upgrade just to adjust brightness and contrast.
