### 1/5 — скатились

*2026-03-13*

пользовалась приложением около 3 лет, все было прекрасно, но мало того что сделали платным, так еще и цены конские, очень обидно

### 1/5 — .

*2026-02-23*

раньше пользовалась, пока не стало платным. 
сделали бы хоть лимит какой-нибудь на какое-то количество фото в день.

**Developer response:** Добрый день, возможно вы не дали доступ приложению для сохранения ваших фотографий в телефон.
Напишите нам пожалуйста на почту support@closapp.space и мы поможем вам сохранить ваши фото

### 1/5 — Плюсов нет

*2026-02-18*

Нет пробной версии, чтоб проверить, что из себя представляет приложение, сразу оплачивать нужно, нет даже бесплатного пробного периода. Как понять, хорошее приложение или нет, если я даже попробовать не могу?

### 1/5 — Плохо

*2026-01-08*

Нашла приложение в пинтересте, думала всё будет отлично, но не тут то было, всё окопалось платно, ни одной фотки не сделала👎🏿

### 2/5 — Great App BUT Major Issues recently

*2025-06-17, version 2.9.0*

great app to you in all aspects of photography shoots but app force closes when other person joins link, I have just renewed my subscription as well. will update review once fixed

### 2/5 — Раньше было бесплатное

*2025-04-18*

Раньше было бесплатное, сейчас все платно

### 5/5 — Incredible resource

*2025-02-06*

I have used CLOS for over 70 virtual shoots and it has been such an amazing tool and appreciate how it there are bugs the team works hard to fix and adjust them. Have used this app since 2021 and it just keeps getting better and better. ✨✨✨✨✨

### 1/5 — Качество фото ужасное

*2024-12-05*

Почему такое ужасное качество фотографий?   Крупное зерно как-то можно убрать? 
Камера 15 Pro.

### 1/5 — Нет лимита

*2024-10-12*

Только скачала, не сделала ни одной фотографии, не разобралась с приложением, а уже пишет, что нужно оформлять подписку)

### 1/5 — So bad!

*2024-09-21, version 2.8.16*

You have to pay if you wanna use the 0.5x and the time to capture is so long

## Frequently asked questions about CLOS

### What is CLOS - Virtual Photoshoot?

CLOS is an app designed for virtual photoshoots, enabling photographers to remotely control a model's device camera to capture high-resolution photos and videos. It also includes an AI-powered assistant for self-portraits and a platform to discover and connect with other creative professionals.

### How does the remote photoshoot feature work?

The app's Video Rooms allow photographers to take over the camera controls on the model's device. This enables them to direct the shoot and capture high-res photos and videos from any location, facilitating seamless remote collaboration.

### What are the costs associated with using CLOS?

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.11.0 — 2026-06-29

A brand-new way to chat with your matches.

• Redesigned chat — a cleaner, faster, easier way to message your matches.
• Message notifications — get notified the moment a new message arrives, and tap to jump straight into the conversation.
• Sharper video — clearer, smoother video during your photoshoot sessions.
• More reliable shoots — a steadier connection that keeps your session running smoothly, even on weaker Wi-Fi.
• Easier invites — joining a shoot from an invite link now works reliably every time.

Thanks for using CLOS! We're always improving — keep the feedback coming.

### 2.10.7 — 2026-05-27

- Upload progress in MB, finally. No more guessing what "3 files left" actually means — see exactly how much
  data is still flying up to the cloud.
  - AI Camera, but make it dedicated. Tapping AI Camera now whisks you straight to the AICAM app for the full
  experience (or grabs it from the App Store if you don't have it yet).
  - Crash reports on lockdown. Plugged in Sentry, so when something goes sideways we hear about it — and fix it —
   before you have to tell us.

  What's better 

  - Background uploads that actually go background. Lock your phone, switch apps, go live your life — your photos
   keep uploading.
  - Chill network warnings. Tiny Wi-Fi hiccups don't freak the app out anymore. And when the connection bounces
  back, you'll see a friendly "we're good" instead of just silence.
  - Lighter, snappier, sleeker. Ripped out two big SDKs we weren't using (IronSource and Dropbox). Smaller
  download, faster launch, fewer cobwebs.

  Bug fixes 

  - Launch crash? Gone. That ad SDK ghost has officially left the building.
  - The upload popup stays put when you tap it (no more disappearing act).
  - RAW format switching works again in the camera.
  - Logger no longer eats memory for breakfast during heavy sessions.
  - A handful of security tune-ups from code review, because vibes alone aren't a security model.

### 2.10.6 — 2026-04-22

- Stability improvements
- Bug fix

### 2.10.5 — 2026-01-26

- Stability improvements
- Bug fix

### 2.10.4 — 2025-11-29

- Stability improvements
- Bug fix
