## What is Cinematic Camera?

Real film, shot live on your iPhone.

Plivka turns your iPhone into a cinematic film camera. Real film LUTs are baked into the live preview — not slapped on after the fact — so what you see in the viewfinder is exactly what you capture. Pro grading tools sit one tap away in the editor when you want more.

LIVE FILM CAMERA
• Real film LUTs applied live in the viewfinder
• Apple Log 10-bit capture for maximum colour latitude
• Photo and video, both with the same look
• Clean shutter, focus reticle, zoom, flash — no retro clutter

POWERFUL EDIT ROOM
• Drop any photo or clip in and watch it become film
• Side-by-side before / after slider
• Halation, Film Grain, HSL, MTF — pro tools, simple controls
• One-tap presets when you don't feel like dialling in

A FILM LIBRARY THAT KEEPS GROWING
• Curated film stocks — warm, cool, faded, punchy, cinematic
• Each LUT is real film, not a generic Instagram filter
• Built for the look of 35mm, 8mm, vintage digicam, and Leica-style colour

WHO IT'S FOR
• Casual shooters who want photos that look like film, instantly
• Creators and videographers grading Apple Log on the go
• Anyone tired of fake retro filters that don't hold up

PLIVKA PRO
Unlock the full LUT library, unlimited photos and videos, and every pro preset.
• Cancel anytime in Settings

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-08-28*

Easy to use, retro and nostalgic-effects photo! Definitely worth installing

### 3/5 — Some functions don’t work

*2026-07-29*

Really gorgeous presets. I didn’t mind the bugs while the app was free and still in development, but now that it costs $17, I’d honestly expect the app to work properly. In app video recording doesn’t work. Only the photo camera works, and it also gets stuck from time to time. On the editing page, trying to use “add more from library” to import multiple photos from your iPhone doesn’t work either, the app only allows you to add one photo per edit.

**Developer response:** Fair — a paid app doesn't get to hide behind "still in development", so let us be straight about all three. "Add more from Library" importing only one photo is a known bug and it's in our tracker; a launch-freeze fix shipped in the current version, so update first and see whether the camera still gets stuck. In-app video recording we still can't reproduce — send your iPhone model and iOS version to support@plivka.app and we'll chase it with your exact setup. On the $17: we've heard that too and are revising pricing downward, the change is with App Review now.

### 2/5 — Freeze when stabilization is on

*2026-07-26*

Any kind of stabilization makes the app hang and restart doesn’t help unless you disable it.

**Developer response:** Confirmed — stabilization can hang the app, and it happens on some devices but not others, which is exactly why it's still open. Could you send your iPhone model and iOS version to support@plivka.app? With that we can stop guessing, and we'll write back once it's sorted.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2026-07-15*

This is a cool concept, but the camera doesn’t work (it is just frozen on a black screen and can’t take photos) and cost $17 before you can even attempt to take pictures.

**Developer response:** The black screen was a bug, not a paywall — the camera never finished starting, so of course nothing could be shot. It's fixed in the current version, so updating should give you a working viewfinder; if it somehow doesn't, write us at support@plivka.app with your iPhone model and iOS version. We're also lowering the price — that change is with App Review now — and if you'd rather not keep the app after that first experience, Apple handles refunds at reportaproblem.apple.com.

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-06-08*

This app is really great especially the LUT preview tool and Editing!

**Developer response:** The LUT preview was the feature we were least sure about — showing the look live costs a lot under the hood — so it's good to hear it earned its place. Thanks, Mike!
