It’s slick, easy to use, the manual controls are intuitive. I can customize settings and use my anamorphic lens. Frame rates are excellent, they drop far less often than other apps. Shooting at 60fps is clean, no stuttering. The only thing I haven’t been able to figure out is how to get the record button on my osmo mobile 4 to work with this app. Otherwise, highly recommend this app. Make it work with a Bluetooth remote or gimbal please, then I’ll give it 5 stars. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review! It’s great to hear your valuable feedback. We are actively working on some major updates and support for third party gimbals is high on our list of feature requests. ### 4/5 — Стабилизация только до 1920х1080 *2020-12-07, version 2.19.0* Крутое приложение и тем более странно, что стабилизация работает только до разрешения 1920Х1080, независимо от битрейта. Проверял на нескольких девайсах (ipad pro 2018 и iphone 6s plus). Почему бы об этом было не написать, или это баг такой? ### 4/5 — Bug *2020-09-07, version 2.19.0* Está travando. ### 4/5 — Works with external audio interface *2020-05-24, version 2.19.0* I found this app on my search for a simple interface video camera with the ability to record audio via external interface ( RME UCX ) The app does connect to the interface and stays connected while recording. Nonetheless it looses connection when for example switching from back to front camera. In my case I have to restart the app. Go back to the settings (because I haven’t figured out yet how to make the last setting the default Start setting) and then reconnect the sound card. I like the app. I hope the creators are successful and therefore able to keep updating while keeping it simple. ### 5/5 — This isn’t your father’s camcorder... *2020-01-21* I’ve experimented with many other video recording apps and nothing comes close to what this offers. I’ve been using Guerrilla for over two years now and wouldn’t use another app. Period. It’s ease of use is second to none, and the quality; lets talk about quality. It captures up to 4K with beautiful representation of what’s sitting right in front of you. Hands down this is the best app around. ### 5/5 — Гут *2019-12-13, version 2.17.0* Приложение для киносъемки. Если вы считаете, что кино - это про настраивать оборудование, вам не подойдет этот инструмент. А это именно инструмент, чего нельзя сказать про филмик. Очень удобно сделано управление простейшими функциями, позволяющими реализовывать художественные приблуды без использования повозок, тележек, кранов, механического объектива, вообще объективов и прочей конструкции. Чего нет в других приложениях, заметьте. Эта камера создана для мобильного кино, а не для имитации большой камеры, в которой нет никакого смысла (здравствуй, филмик) For creators: (please, translate from russian) Хочу попросить вас, разработчиков, попробовать реализовать собственный алгоритм электронной стабилизации для всех разрешений (работает штатная в fullhd и 4k). Не всегда хочется снимать в 4k, так как шумов больше, а в fullhd теряется детализация при слабой освещенности... Please, пусть даже за дополнительную плату ### 5/5 — Love it it really is good *2019-11-28* It does more then any of the other cams ### 5/5 — A true hidden gem! *2019-09-26* ***UPDATE*** 26 September 2019 It’s been three years and I’m still using this! Definitely prefer this over the other ones. I don't usually write reviews, but I just had to put it out there. This app is as close to a real film camera as you're going to get on a phone. Super user-friendly and all the features you need to make a video/film. They even have the Cinerama 2.59:1! ### 5/5 — great filmmaking tool *2019-09-13, version 2.16.0* I use the app for a web-miniseries - it is a professional tool ! ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2018-06-01* This app is great for cinematic and focus shots and filmmaking in general ### 5/5 — Woooooo movie camera 🎥 in your hands *2018-05-27, version 2.15.1* Handsome camera apps wooooooooooooooo☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️😎😎😎😎☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️😘😘😘😍😍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 ### 5/5 — Worth every penny... *2018-05-20* The capabilities of this application are phenomenal. So much more than expected and even believed was possible in a phone application. ### 5/5 — By far the best video camera for me *2018-01-19* Have tried many if not most in the App Store. Not a pro, but wanting some control, balanced with simplicity, so that catching the errant thought is easy and pleasurable. This nails it. Remembers my presets, excellent quality, good compression, simple controls. Bingo. ### 5/5 — BEST! *2017-11-01, version 2.13.2* listen. best app for filming ever. easy to use and great controls. been usng thinapp since Feb. 2017 till present day. seriously the best app you can buy. worth it! ### 4/5 — Has flaws - but it’s still really good *2017-10-25, version 2.13* Bad: It’s in dire need of an update for iOS 11 and the latest iPhones/iPad Pros. Please! Good: It actually is like amateur film crew in your phone. It’s good for those of us who cannot afford a DSLR and a bunch of accessories, like myself. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to be 5 Stars *2023-08-05* I have a lot to say, but not in the mood. But basically, haven’t updated in well over A YEAR. A 48MP iPhone 14 Pro or 14 Pro Max is useless on this, at one time, 5 star app. What a shame. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2019-12-16, version 2.17.0* Controls are so complicated and the whole thing is a mess. Get Mavis instead. ### 1/5 — Is bad *2017-02-01, version 2.12* Is ok but I didn't pay for that sheet I mean the app doesn't do what they have in the video ### 1/5 — Trash *2015-10-19, version 1.1.0* This is the biggest waste of money ### 1/5 — Very poor user experience *2015-10-03, version 1.1.0* I could not understand how to make this app work [I make video on app everydays on various app, so I don't think I am stupid] I asked for a refund. Haven't got it yet . ### 1/5 — Crashes constantly! Waste of money! *2015-08-02, version 1.0* This would be a cool video app, if it didn't crash two out of three times while recording. Setting the automations takes time and it is extremely frustrating to lose everything halfway through. ### 2/5 — So so... *2015-11-01, version 1.1.1* I bought this on the back of a Mac format review but quite frankly I get the feeling they've paid the mag for a review. Really disappointed £2.99 is far too much and it's no better really that the iPhone camera. Wasted £2.98 very average at best don't waste your money especially at £2.99 ### 3/5 — Badly in Need of an Update *2021-04-30* Selecting Ultra-Wide on iPhone 12 Pro causes it to crash and exit. ### 3/5 — File Transfer *2018-02-14* I’ve just downloaded the app and shot a quick little scene just to check it out. I tried to export it to Luma Fusion for fx and noticed there’s no way to export the video unless you import via file sharing to a computer. It’s possible I’m missing something since I just purchased it but if there’s no way to share/move the videos besides a computer then this app was a poor choice for me. In this modern age most individuals want to move their files around without being restricted to a computer. This is the only major flaw for me and it’s likely I’ve wasted my money. If exporting video isn’t a problem for you then I’d highly recommend this application. **Developer response:** Hello and thanks for the feedback. There is actually a way to share movie files other than through iTunes file sharing. In the film library you can swipe right on the large thumbnail to reveal the share and delete options. The share options allow you to copy to the camera roll or other apps or share via AirDrop. We realize this option is a bit hidden and will be making it a little more obvious in a future update. Hope this helps. ### 4/5 — Need to get updated for the iPad mini 6 *2022-07-21, version 2.20.0* And much bigger buttons ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Old but perfect… *2024-08-11, version 2.21.1* one of the best app for mobile filmmaking please update and provide support ! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2024-02-13, version 2.21.1* It’s 2024 and this is the only camera app i would use and i’ve already tested every camera app, even blackmagic or cinema p3….a Lut function would be cool and a better stabilization ✌🏽 ### 5/5 — Sergei *2023-05-06, version 2.21.1* Wonderful ### 5/5 — Fantastic camera app *2022-01-07* This is a fantastic camera app that I’m surprised does not have that many users. It’s simple very well thought. And I hope they keep updating it and add HDR and ProRes support. ### 5/5 — It’s a cinema filmmaking studio in your pocket *2021-09-21* I really like the features it will make you a one man film studio ### 5/5 — Love it, gotta have it *2021-02-13* The best; Hands down; 4K video camera app!!! Great UI streamlined into a real slick UX. It doesn’t get any better than this people! They’ve made shooting fun, creative and full featured! Love it, gotta have it if you’re a 4K iOS director, producer and/or lover of film and stage; amateur to pro, this is empowerment; this is the app! -Sha Director of Research/CCO, passwrd 1 group and associations ### 5/5 — I love it! *2020-06-03* I’ve been using this app for quite a while now. I purchased this app to turn off image stabilization when I’m using a fisheye lens. That is just one tiny feature of the app. Being able to fully control the camera on your phone is a beautiful thing. Thank you for this app! I love it so much 🍻 Worth the money!!! ### 5/5 — Great filming all with useful features *2020-05-06, version 2.19.0* I use this all the time, great to be able to programme different focus setting and exposures. Love the presets you can record as well, I have one for cinematic, selfies and normal recording as well as slow mo. No complaints here ### 5/5 — OVER FIVE YEARS *2020-03-16* How many apps have you carried over to new phones? This one has been with me since iPhone 4S Still GOLD on my 11 ### 5/5 — Hands down, one of the best video recording apps *2020-03-15* If you're into iPhone videographer even the slightest, this is an absolute necessary app. It's very stable, gives you more control than any other video recording app, and easy to use. The ability to set rack focus, zoom, exposure and color balance (and program them all to be controlled and changed at the same time) opens up for a ton of creativity that hasn't been done before on any other app. I definitely recommend it; Worth every penny. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
