### 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)

### 2/5 — 아이폰 17프로맥스에서 세팅이 안됩니다.

*2025-11-25*

14프로맥스에서 유료 사용하다 17프로 맥스로 바꿨는데..
세팅이 안됩니다.
설정을 누르면 14프맥에선 전체 설정값이 나오는데
17프맥에선 카메라 세팅만 나옵니다.
그것도 전체 세팅메뉴가 나오질 않아요.
셔터스피드를 따로 제어할 수 없어서 플리커 현상이 찍히네요.
ios26대응이 다 안된건가요??
빨리 업그레이드 해 주세요.너무 불편합니다.

### 4/5 — Aplicativo para Camera muito bom!

*2025-10-18, version 2.0.2*

Têm varias funcionalidades que podem deixar seu video profissional. Consigo acompanhar gráficos em tempo real o que me ajuda a gravar meus videos com qualidade.

Quero poder conectar outras camera e webcams, para ter mais opções de gravação, não somente usar a camera do celular.

### 2/5 — iade istiyorum

*2025-09-30, version 1.5.30*

sadece uygulamanızı alıp prores kayıt desteği olup olmadığına baktım ve şu an iade istiyorum

### 4/5 — Large file size

*2025-08-30, version 1.5.29*

I dont know its my issue or App's , the file size is extremely large for the same settings of video as compared to Black  magic app. I user all P & C but size is lqrge.

### 3/5 — Mixed up fps in settings

*2025-08-04, version 1.5.28*

The app is really good but where I set 30 fps, it records 30.01 fps. I need certain 30 but not 30.01. It’s interesting that application has choices 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 48, 50, 59.94 and 60 fps but us I mentioned before it records 30.01 instead of 30. I can’t use this app only because all my footage 30.

### 3/5 — Not sure

*2025-06-10, version 1.5.27*

I have bought the Pro-Tools upgrade as well as the LUT-Update but the camera still does not let me record without sound (that’s crazy for a pro app) also it still doesn’t let me record slow motion even if it has presets for it.

### 4/5 — Good App But

*2025-05-29, version 1.5.26*

I Purchased The Pro Tools Upgrade But Everytime I Close The App It Takes Them Away And I Have To Restore My Purchase EveryTime I Wanna Use Pro Tools 😠

Please Fix 😔

### 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

### 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.

### 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

### 1/5 — Lag in 4K filming!!

*2025-09-27, version 1.5.30*

I don’t recommend this application!

### 1/5 — Crashes iPhone to restart

*2025-09-04, version 1.5.30*

Crashes iPhone to restart

### 1/5 — Fotos werden viel zu dunkel

*2025-07-03, version 1.5.27*

Bei gleichen Einstellungen werden die Fotos im Vergleich zu anderen manuellen Kamera Apps viel dunkler und sind nicht zu gebrauchen

### 1/5 — Useless.

*2025-07-02, version 1.5.27*

There's no point in having a "freemium" model if you're going to lock in a 4:3 aspect ratio. Don't steal my sensor space. I'm not going to even bother testing out your stupidi app after that.

### 1/5 — Love the app, but…

*2025-06-06, version 1.5.27*

Highlights are blown out in Rec709-10bit (I know, I had to). Ruined my day, week, maybe even month. What a shame. Same shot was fine a couple of weeks ago with the Blackmagic App and even the stock app. 
What a shame CinemaP3.

### 1/5 — La app en iPhone 12 Pro Max

*2025-04-19, version 1.5.25*

La verdad muy triste porque la app está totalmente rota en iPhone 12 Pro Max, no aparece el botón de time-lapse, se gira automáticamente la pantalla después de dar stop, los parámetros se cambian solos

### 1/5 — Es lenta, tarda mucho en abrir.

*2025-03-29, version 1.5.21*

Es lenta, tarda en abrir. Diseño un tanto tosco el diseño

### 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.

### 5/5 — The king of Cam apps.

*2025-12-10, version 2.1.1*

Seriously blown away by the last two updates. This app is in a league of its own. The full features turn an iPhone into multimedia D.O.P. ‘s dream. The control choices are mind-blowing. Excellent work!

### 5/5 — Incredible App the developers listen to customer feedback!

*2025-12-07, version 2.1*

Amazing app with a ton of great features for shooting video. They just added support for ProRes RAW which now competes with BlackMagic Camera app. Will be using Cinema P3 exclusively! Great work!!!

### 5/5 — Best App For Videomakers

*2025-11-06, version 2.0.3*

В своей платной версии приложение даже лучше, чем пресловутый Blackmagic. Буквально во всём. Минус один — для разблокировки всех функций придётся платить.

### 5/5 — Top content

*2025-10-10*

I really don’t understand why black magic camera more famous than this app. You guys make the worth things

### 5/5 — Very Impressed!

*2025-09-25*

Extremely impressed with this app! It’s very powerful and extremely intuitive with manual controls and interface and has lots of deep options! Of course comparing to the free BlackMagic App, all I gotta say is for the devs to keep going and make this as good as possible in every way and it can really be a leading contender and hopefully take off! Solid work guys! I bought the Pro as support for this!

### 5/5 — Getting Better all the time !

*2025-09-01, version 1.5.30*

I purchased ed Cinema P3 a few years when it was a basic filming app,  it keeps getting better and better years after year with improvements and new features l.  I must say, this is now my favourite App to use.  Well done and thank you.  Definitely an app worth supporting 👍👍👍❤️

### 5/5 — Lieblings Video- und Foto Kanera-App

*2025-06-11, version 1.5.27*

Vom Benutzer Interface und von den Features her die leistungsfähigste Kamera App. Die Bedienung ist trotz des massiven Funktionsumfangssehr intuitiv. Völlig unterbewertet/unbekannt, ist die umfangreiche Funktionalität der App.

### 5/5 — Superior Video Capture App

*2025-06-11*

CinemaP3 has been the most consistently reliable, functional, and feature rich video capture app for me.  I have used many video apps starting with Filmic Pro and lastly Blackmagic Camera (BMC).  I liked the BMC app’s interface/layout and many supporting online tutorials; however, it kept letting me down with poor exposures.  Mostly due to inconsistent zebra and scope output and exposure shift after shutter release.  As a left handed person, the only improvement I would like to see is the ability to rotate the iPhone 180 degrees and maintain the same layout.  This is a superior product, and I think others should know and not get too caught up in the popularity of some lesser apps.
