Had to Delete

Had to delete this app. It no longer works as it hasn’t been updated in five years. Paid $2.99 for it at the time. Oh well.

Last update 5 years ago

An app that used to be good and now useless. Super glitchy, crashing for every little thing. Can’t get worse, it’d be nice to have an update. Otherwise why is it still in the app store?

Hello…. long time I bought it , very nice app but now not working there is message(( error)) i hope you have e-mail to send you

Thanks

Not for cinema whatsoever Is there a duration max?

I wasn’t aware that there was a limit to duration because I could find that info on the app/description. 40 minutes of quality footage completed to read, “unable to save video”. Frankly, I’m not using this “CineScope app” again. If it’s for cinema, then make it that way. Thanks for messing everything up and destroying the energy we were able to get in that take that was “unable to save”

Thanks so much CineScope I really appreciate it.
