### 1/5 — Awful issues with audio out of sync

*2026-08-21, version 2.2*

I have wasted so much time and footage over repeated issues with videos being recorded out of sync with audio. Disappointing as I hoped this could make for a decent replacement for filmic

### 5/5 — LUT only in Display mode

*2026-03-01, version 2.1.8*

The option to apply a LUT directly to the video while filming no longer works. LUTS can only be used in display mode, but no longer in record mode. Furthermore, there is no support for
 remote control. As a result, I no longer find the app as good as it used to be and can therefore only award a maximum of 3 stars. What a shame!

Thank you to the developer. Everything is working perfectly again now. For that, there will be five stars again!

### 5/5 — The True Best

*2026-02-26, version 2.1.8*

This app does everything. Blackmagic honestly is missing so many features found here, I never find an app that comes close to the capabilities. The only thing I’d want would be iPad monitoring. THAT would be game changing.

### 1/5 — Regrediram a câmera!

*2026-02-10, version 2.1.7*

antes conseguia gravar em 4K ProRes HQ  cor 709 ! agora não habilita mais esta configuração.

### 4/5 — Restore manual settings on app start bug

*2026-02-06, version 2.1.7*

The exposure bias changes on app minimize even if restore manual setting on app start is enabled rest settings remain same. Please get update for this

### 4/5 — KEEP UP

*2026-01-31, version 2.1.7*

KEEP UP GOOD WORK, INCREASE FRAME RATE TO 60 FPS, ADD RESOLUTIONS, ETC, IN HIGH QUALITY 10-BIT 4:2:2 MODE ON 13 PRO MAX

### 4/5 — かなり頑張ってるからもう一言！

*2026-01-23, version 2.1.6*

他のアプリでは指定できないHEVC HDR 422 200Mbpsなど設定出来てiPhoneの設定を限界まで試せるアプリです。
オーディオインターフェイスなどもちゃんと認識するのもグッドです。
こまめなアップデートをしてくれていますが、それでもiOSの大型アップデートから数ヶ月は不安定になり易いです。
それさえ無くなれば最強のアプリなので応援してます！

### 4/5 — OPENGATE

*2025-12-22, version 2.1.2*

add Open Gate full censor please

### 3/5 — Super App, however i miss the front camera

*2025-12-17, version 2.1.1*

I have been using the app for quite some time now. I loved it all the time. However, now I miss the use of the front  camera. I feel forced to move back to FilmicPro (Iphone 16 Pro / IOS26.2)

### 1/5 — カメラの切り替えができない

*2025-12-12, version 2.1.1*

iPhoneのインカメラ(front camera)しか利用できない。。

インカメラ(front camera)と背面カメラ(main camera)の切り替えができない。

使用環境
iPhone17
iOS 26.1
