## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Too basic

*2024-01-30, version 2*

Barely any options and you can’t change any settings to suit your needs. Wasted my money.

### 1/5 — Total crap - avoid

*2017-08-13*

Just a very badly designed app with almost zero functionality. Avoid it at all costs

### 1/5 — don't bother

*2013-04-30, version 001*

I uninstalled as soon as i put it on my phone. all of the presets are set for all the cameras. so unless you shoot what they tell you it's a useless app.

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2012-05-23*

It says it was designed specifically for professionals, but it's way too basic to be of any use to any professional.  There's no way to change any of the settings (fps, resolution, compression), so unless you're using exactly the configuration they have listed, it's worthless.  And even if you are, you can't enter in exact sizes or times (for example, using a 128g ssd card, the closest I can get it by scrolling is 125.3 which means I have to approximate.  Professionals generally prefer to deal in absolutes.  It's frustrating that the makers of vis a vis or pocket dit haven't updated their apps to include the epic, scarlet, or Alexa because those are much better apps.

### 2/5 — Could be a great app if it had more functionality

*2013-05-30*

This app is pretty useless because you have no idea what compression rates these numbers are referring two.  If you were able to change the resolution and compression rate of each camera I'd give this 5 stars.

### 2/5 — Simple, but limited

*2012-11-04, version 001*

I like the simplicity. Too many data-calc apps are fiddly. And at least it has Scarlet and Epic rates. But what exactly is 'best quality' on the epic/scarlet? 3:1? Who shoots 3:1? And why 4K HD? Needs some extra settings, or ability to change defaults.

### 3/5 — A great idea, needs a bit more options

*2016-04-02, version 001*

As a working DP, this is an awesome simple app. But I don't shoot that much HD on Alexa, but shoot 4K often. Would love to see Alexa 2K and Alexa 4K added.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2013-01-26*

This is a very helpful app. Especially for a free one. It's designed for one specific purpose, which is to calculate disk storage needed. It does that job very well.
