Comprei a versão Pro v6 se não me engano. E agora quando fui utilizar novamente após alguns anos meu aplicativo Pro, no caso o que eu comprei, não estão funcionando corretamente. Ele fez um downgrade para uma versão chamada Legacy, que não foi a que eu comprei. Me lembro de ter comprado a Pro e ainda adicionei um pacote de cores. Como eu resolvo esta situação? ### 1/5 — Worthless *2026-04-08, version 6.23.2* Bait and switch scam . New subscription plan after duping everyone to buy this app. Thankfully there are better alternatives that don't require a subscription. ### 3/5 — wie? Update für welches Handy? *2026-04-06* seitdem es ein Abo Programm gibt, kann man die App nicht wirklich mehr benutzen. Heute habe ich ein Update bekommen. Aber für welches Handy soll das sein für ein iPhone 15 Pro Max? und dann ist die app nicht mal installiert oder was das ein deinstallations Update? ### 1/5 — AUDIO IS BROKEN!!! *2026-04-05, version 6.23.2* The audio doesn’t record in recent update!!! It’s useless now!! Fix it!!! ### 1/5 — Desativaram o Áudio *2026-04-03* Eu atualizei o aplicativo com a última versão e vcs simplesmente removeram o áudio das gravações. Se não resolverem em um dia, vou tomar as medidas legais. Paguei por esse aplicativo e se resolveram lançar atualização, é pra resolver possíveis problemas e não causá-los! ### 1/5 — !!! There is no sound in the recorded videos *2026-04-02* NO SOUND IN VIDEO!!!!! ### 1/5 — AUDIO DOES NOT WORK ON 26.4 *2026-03-28, version 6.23.1* Just updating to the latest iOS update to 26.4 and it completely killed the audio. The loudest it can go is -65dB. Which is silent. It doesn’t work, it’s useless unless they fix it. ### 1/5 — Bait and switch *2026-01-28, version 6.23.1* Advertise product. Advertise features. Sell product to me. Remove features. Add paywall. Delete app and stay away from company from now on. Bad experience. One star for having to put a star. ### 1/5 — Great before the switch to new app *2026-01-24, version 6.23.1* They changed from this app to the new subscription model which is ridiculous for those of us who paid for it long ago. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-01-12, version 6.23.1* I paid but I can’t use. Useless. Thief !!! ### 1/5 — Desonesto *2026-01-07* Paguei o app há muitos anos atrás e agora ao precisar usar o app é pago, só que eu já tinha comprado. Muita falta de caráter ### 1/5 — decepção *2025-12-24* Eles mudam o plano e você tem que pagar novamente! Desonestos! ### 1/5 — Arnaque *2025-12-05* Obliger de payer alors que l’on a deja fait honte a vous bande arnaqueur ### 1/5 — unethical *2025-09-23* one time purchase gone waste! ### 1/5 — cheating company *2025-08-23* the stoped updates after payments ### 1/5 — They betrayed us *2025-06-30, version 6.23.1* I used to love Filmic Pro, especially when it was a one-time purchase. It was a fantastic tool for filmmakers, but their switch to a subscription model is a real letdown. Instead of paying once and owning the app, now you have to pay monthly or yearly, which just doesn’t feel worth it. Many professionals are moving over to Cinema P3, which offers a one-time purchase for about $8 and delivers a really professional experience without the ongoing cost. Overall, pretty disappointing move from Filmic Pro. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 是的，非常无耻 *2026-07-22* 买断就停更，另发新版需再订阅 ### 1/5 — Trop de problèmes avec iOS26 *2026-06-18* Sous ios18 tout fonctionnait bien, mais sous iOS26 l'app finit par planter. Et le remote ne se connecte qu'une fois sur deux aléatoirement, c'est insupportable. ### 1/5 — Recording with Ext Mic Disabled? *2026-05-17, version 6.23.3* Looks like recording with Ext Mic has been disabled in one of the updates. Hope this is not a ploy to force us to upgrade even after paying for the original version which supported this feature. In particular, the record button doesn’t work when the Ext Mic is plugged in even though it is capturing sound, once disconnected the record button immediately works. ### 1/5 — Filmic Legacy audio *2026-04-22, version 6.23.2* I purchased your Filmic App when it 1st launched with no problems. With the takeover you changed to a subscription model. Since this the Filmic Legacy App has sadly gone downhill. The audio 22.4.2026 is not recording along side the video. The new owners should have honoured their previous Filmic users in good faith. Please could you update the Filmic Legacy App that we paid for. ### 1/5 — Even with update, NO AUDIO! *2026-04-20, version 6.23.2* So even with the update, you expect that the audio works? It does except it doesn’t record the audio, even though it does appear to be. Why would you do this to legacy users? You’ve just updated the app two weeks ago and now you don’t seem to care about fixing it again even with those issues. ### 1/5 — Recent April 26 update broken *2026-04-18, version 6.23.2* I'm aware this is not supposed to be supported, but surely we should not be sabotaged by maintenance updates! Just reviewed footage from last Tuesday and no audio is recorded, it's useless. Yet testing just now shows level meters working fine, audio definitely enabled, no Bluetooth. Recorded video shows MOS instead of WAV. Unrepeatable content lost, I am gutted. Reddit thread shows I am not alone either. ### 1/5 — 音声が収録されない *2026-04-16* 2026年4月にアプリをアップデートしたら音声が収録されなくなった。 内臓マイクも外部マイクもダメ。 iPhone 14pro maxで使用しているがマイクの設定やアプリの音声設定もチェック済みです。 再ダウンロードしてもダメでした。 なんとかしてほしい。 ### 1/5 — ゴミアプリの仲間入り *2026-04-13* かつてカメラアプリで革命的だったこいつは初期を支えたユーザーを突き放した。 わざと改悪してるとしか思えない。 もはや外部マイクさえ使えなくなった。 金返せよ ### 1/5 — Worst bug *2026-04-12, version 6.23.2* 6.23.2 more like no sound disaster app ### 1/5 — RECENT UPDATE KILLED AUDIO *2026-04-11, version 6.23.2* I’ve never seen an app owner get so greedy so quickly!! First they tried to make users SUBSCRIBE in order to save ANY video to the camera roll…but end users cried FOUL. So they released LEGACY, said they would no longer support it, but then released “UPDATES” that actually killed core functionality to force people onto their V7 SUBSCRIPTION PLATFORM. Sad. Really sad. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — very good *2026-03-08, version 6.23.1* I have this app for a while had no time to use it. Now I got back to use it is amazing. I am a Nikon Z person but I get better results with this. It’s get very confusing and annoying it try to keep sending to to buy film pro very messy upselling I see no difference it more creative billing subscription ### 5/5 — Better now… *2025-12-09, version 6.23.1* 12/8/25 Hey guys, thanks for the bug fixes!! Now I have two great Filmic versions!! The 6 and the 7 !! Great products guys!! ### 5/5 — Thanks for the new legacy? *2025-08-17, version 6.23.1* Great job so now V6 is called legacy?! Ok! And what happened to the old legacy? Never mind luckily I still have it downloaded in legacy iTunes on legacy iphones. Dont want to end up owning nothing and not be happy ;-) ### 5/5 — Better now… *2025-08-06, version 6.23.1* Hey guys, thanks for the bug fix. Now I have two great Filmic versions!! The 6 and the 7 !! Shower, I noticed the 6 version still has a minor issue with smooth automatic zooming in/out while recording. But it is better. Maybe you can try to smooth it some more on another update. Great products guys!! ### 5/5 — Crybabies and Version Numbers: A Modern Tragedy *2025-05-22, version 6.23.1* Let’s get one thing straight: pricing isn’t a review topic. If you can operate a smartphone, you can read a price tag. Reviews are for what an app does, not for venting about the fact that life costs money. And yes, if a new version comes out and they ask for payment again—guess what? That’s normal. As long as the version you already own still gets fixes (which it does), there’s zero foul. So, please—for the love of common sense and digital dignity—stop whining. The world is bursting at the seams with entitled crybabies. Enough already. Filmic is still a fantastic app, even as a legacy version. Use it. Enjoy it. Or move along. ### 5/5 — Above and Beyond Service *2024-12-30, version 6.22.1* I downloaded v6 just before COVID hit, and lost my phone ID in the years following - recently, CS worked with me for a week or two to try to find the records of my old purchase, then staked me with a good-faith download of Legacy, to assist my company. It was essential then, is doubly so now. TRUST FILMIC PRO - they're good people, with good products. ### 5/5 — Support Team! *2024-09-28, version 6.22.1* Special thanks to the app support team who helped me gaining access to the app after providing my 2018 purchase receipt. Thank You! ### 5/5 — i’m just glad we have this less feature heavy version to go to *2024-01-20, version 6.22.1* i’m just glad we have this less feature heavy version to go to! besides there’s black magics new cam anyway! zooooom ### 5/5 — If you’re gonna review bomb *2023-12-21, version 6.22.1* Review bomb the new app. The fact that they’re keeping the legacy app available for download is an excellent example to the industry that if you are going to charge for future updates, at least leave the existing version available. ### 5/5 — READ BEFORE RATING! *2023-10-03, version 6.22.1* This is the original app and is still great to use. If you’re upset about the new subscription based model go onto the NEW app (not this one) and down vote it until Apple takes it off the store. I’m voting this up to keep it on here because I still use it but I’m down voting the new one because they screwed us over with the subscription based model that basically does THE SAME THING. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
