### 3/5 — Good idea but needs work

*2020-11-08*

This is a good idea for an app, but I don’t understand why you cannot select items in dropdown menus. I often need to create documentation for DPs and ACs and wish I could just make screenshots of the proper menu settings for various scenarios. But you can’t do that with this app. You can open a dropdown menu in a setting panel, but the menu option is hard coded to a default setting, and you can’t select another one (eg Video Codec option defaults to ProRes HQ, and you can’t change it to ProRes LT.

### 5/5 — Big Improvement

*2017-10-06*

Love this app! I use it constantly and it has saved me several times in a pinch. The Pro version has more tools, intuitive interface and is continually updated to keep up with any changes that are made with firmware.  Highly recommend for anyone who works with a RED camera!

### 3/5 — Not sure where the money goes for this...

*2017-08-29*

Same as the free version, except its updated with the newest 8K offerings in the simulator
Shame the 2/3rds of this app is basically just links to the Red website or YouTube channel.
Only offline content is the FPS Calculation & Menu Simulator (which you get in the free version).

I really hoped for offline info when on location in remote locations.

In terms of fault finding the 'back' button on the Red FPS section is intermittent with this version on my iPhone 6s Plus, often requiring me to close and restart the app.

*2017-07-03*

Way better than the free version- Everything you need in one place, helps me help my team remotely, and love the new look!
