### 5/5 — Всё Супер

*2026-09-08, version 2.3*

Отличное приложение к камере. Хорошая стабилизация, управление и настройки заточены под создание качественных роликов и клипов👍🏼

### 4/5 — Support for Camera Control Button

*2026-08-29, version 2.3*

I would love to see support for the iPhone's 16 pro max, 17 pro max, etc. Camera Control button in this app. It would be amazing to be able to launch the app instantly and control the camera settings (like zoom or exposure) directly using this button. Please consider adding this feature in the next update!

### 5/5 — Final Cut Camera 👍

*2026-08-26, version 2.3*

When used in conjunction with Final Cut Pro, there is nothing better. I use it with FCP for iPad and it is AWESOME!!! It’s Amazing with FCP on MacBook Pro too. Bottom line, just download it NOW! You won’t regret it…

### 1/5 — NO FLASH OPTION OR AUDIO MONITORING

*2026-08-18, version 2.3*

There is no flash option or audio monitoring when you have headphones plugged in and I went into the settings to see if there is a auto flash or any kind of flash option for video absolutely nothing on that 17 Pro Max please fix ASAP

### 5/5 — Jury is still out but liking it so far

*2026-08-11, version 2.3*

I’m amazed by the way that this app barely touches battery life! I filmed for almost 10 hours while shooting a wedding and after party. 90% battery only went down to 42% with either recording or camera live on tripod. I’m yet to view the video and do the editing so on quality I can’t yet comment. But the battery life is way better when using final cut camera  compared to the phone’s built in video function, which drains battery in less than 90 minutes

### 3/5 — Professional features held back with bits and, weirdly, the lack of professional features

*2026-08-02, version 2.3*

You get complete control, but you still get to shoot with shutter speed not angle. You get ProRes raw, but you still have no exposure tools. What I’m trying to say is that this is a pretty powerful app and it’s really easy to use, but at times it’s far overly simple for experienced shooters who are looking for more technical controls and monitoring. Also, there’s the prevalent and persistent bugs. It consistently displays the incorrect record time limits and the worst bug at all is every time you close the app, it changes your shutter speed and iso to random default instead of what you want it to be.

### 4/5 — Professional features held back with amateur lameness

*2026-07-27, version 2.3*

You get complete control, but you still get to shoot with shutter speed not angle. You get ProRes raw, but you still have no exposure tools. What I’m trying to say is that this is a pretty powerful app and it’s really easy to use, but at times it’s far overly simple for experienced shooters who are looking for more technical controls and monitoring.

### 4/5 — التطبيق ناقص شي

*2026-07-23, version 2.3*

مافي انو يمديني أصور صوره بس أنا ابغى أصور صوره وليس فيديو

### 5/5 — Çok iyi

*2026-07-21, version 2.3*

Çok iyi tavsiye ederim

### 4/5 — 4:3 record video

*2026-07-20, version 2.3*

Please add the ability to shoot videos with a 4:3 frame ratio with a 0.5 lens to the iPhone 16-17. Something that was in previous devices!!
