Wish frame size was bigger but I also have an iPhone SE so. ### 2/5 — No updates for years. Bit dated. *2024-05-12* I was tempted to buy an in-app purchase for this. But when I noticed it hadn’t been updated for 2 years I decided not to. No dual camera options. Really needs updating to bring it in line with newer phones. ### 3/5 — Was great. not now! *2024-01-28* Was great app I even paid for all the extras then it stopped working and crashed and then never updated again & so I’m out the money I paid, & I can’t afford that! ### 4/5 — .only 2 apps can do this, and not iPhone built in Camera app *2023-11-01* Love how Horizon Camera automatically keeps widescreen videos perfectly horizontal. And lets me use the flashlight to film in a dark room. But the free Blackmagic Camera app also films landscape when I am holding iPhone in portrait, and also has more features than Horizon Camera. ### 2/5 — iPhone 超広角 *2023-07-07* iPhone 超広角レンズには対応しないのですか？ とても残念 ### 2/5 — This is what we call a ‘Cr-App’ *2023-03-03* This is what we call a ‘Cr-App’. Everyone is asking why Apple didn’t implement this themselves or buy the app outright. Just use it once and you will realize why. Besides a greatly narrowed field of recording area it DOES NOT work at all when filming downwards. So overhead (looking down) for high places or just aim at table or floor stops feature you downloaded it for. Same for aiming camera skywards. Also, instead of allowing per use access to your photos and mic it wants full access all the time- ?! Overall it’s a problem that didn’t need to be solved, and is quickly addressed in editing with one click. ### 3/5 — Brilliant idea, not so good implementation *2023-01-26* This should be a native feature of Apple Camera. I am surprised Apple hasn't bought this app yet. Implementation is poor. Auto detection never detects if I hold my device portrait or landscape. When I hold my device straight, the image is still cropped too much. The saved video is saved with a note with link to app store ### 2/5 — Génial mais de nombreux manquements *2022-09-03* Faire de photos alignées sur l’horizon dès la prise de vue devrait exister au moins en option dans toute application de prise de photos. Horizon corrige cette incroyable lacune. Cependant les mises à jour semblent inexistantes et il manque beaucoup de choses qui lui font perdre beaucoup d’intérêt : Pas de gestion des 3 objectifs des iPhones Pro Pas de gestion du format RAW Pas d’application Apple Watch Si tous ces manques étaient comblés ce serait mon app de prise de photos préférées… mais à cause de ces manques de mises à jour je ne l’utilise quasiment plus. ### 4/5 — 超広角レンズを使用できない *2021-12-14* アプリ最大のウリである水平維持撮影が超広角カメラ（iPhone12pro）で使用できないのがとても惜しい。水平維持は画角が非常に狭くなるため超広角カメラでこそ使いたい。 ### 4/5 — C’était bien… *2021-11-20* C’était bien quand la résolution demandée était respectée. Mon but : obtenir des photos basse résolution en 800x600. Mais cela ne fonctionne plus : quel que soit le réglage, la photo s’enregistre en haute résolution. Merci de corriger. ### 3/5 — a bit meh for 2021 iphone *2021-11-08* doesn’t support multiple iphone lenses which limits its versatility in my workflow ### 3/5 — はてな *2020-10-21* 動画18秒程で容量足りませんと止まるのは何故？ ### 3/5 — Good app for vertical recording but... *2020-08-08* I enjoy using this app to record horizontal videos vertically my only problem is that I cant take proper horizontal photos vertically using this app. They’re better than vertical photos don’t get me wrong but i’d like the photo to fill the whole screen on my phone with no gaps. So yeah videos are fine photos could be tweaked a little. 🙂 ### 4/5 — Love it BUT! *2020-06-18* Did have a question. What’s the best resolutions you guys have used for the back camera to compare to the stock camera resolution? And what does “Crisp+” mean lol? ### 2/5 — Needs an update *2020-04-27, version 4.6* I am having troubles viewing my photos and videos. It doesn’t make sense that I can’t view them by swiping left or right in preview mode. Half of the videos or photos are blank but viewable if I press the blank squares in sequential format. Previewing is difficult in this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless now *2024-10-16, version 4.7* One day it was working then the video started shaking. Updated the app and it locked it….tried to pay but won’t verify payment. ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-10-11, version 4.7* Video not working in app purchase went through but still not working app is useless now ### 1/5 — Update introduces watermarks *2024-05-05, version 4.7* If you have this app already, I would not update it as it will start putting watermarks in your video clips. ### 1/5 — Rip OFF BEE CAreful not to download *2022-06-28* I download and realized this app is not all it says it is and so I deleted the App within the hour of downloading. Deletion in my book is cancelling but they charged me 9.99 for an app that is not the app I wanted I will reachout to i am sure a Chinese based app company but if that fails CC will take care of it Crazy and no where can I find where to cancel beee careful ### 1/5 — 撮影日がおかしい *2022-02-27* このアプリで撮影されたものをiPhoneのアプリ写真で見ると西暦と和暦がおかしいので和暦の大化の時代の撮影日になっている。このアプリの設定に日付変更は無いので、改善すべき事だ ### 1/5 — Quality loss *2021-01-29, version 4.6* You will lose the quality of your films if you use this app. Also it doesn’t let you switch between back and front cameras while you’re filming and you have to stop filming before doing that. ### 1/5 — ERROR! *2020-11-22, version 4.6* Photo couldn’t be saved, unknown error Video couldn’t be saved, unknown error Perfect. Only has two jobs and can’t do either one. Hopefully this gets fixed soon. It’d be nice to be able to use it. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2020-04-04* Everything in slow motion (when not supposed to be). Many precious moment will be lost if you download and use this app. ### 1/5 — 写真保存出来ず。 *2020-01-01* 真っ黒 ### 1/5 — 静止画を保存できない… *2019-12-29* 動画は保存できるのですが、なぜか静止画が保存できません。撮影後、画面に出るレビュー画面が真っ黒。私の操作や設定が何か間違っているのでしょうか？ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — About secrets… *2021-07-11* Apps are not a secret but this app is still one of the best kept app secrets . Ummmm…. I told an ‘apple employee’ about it a few months ago. He was not familiar, then checked it out while we were on the phone an was thoroughly impressed. ### 5/5 — 1,000% Improved *2020-12-25* This app was great when it first came out. It had a few awkward features and for me was more trouble than it was worth so I stopped using it. Today I was opening old apps in the process of cleaning out my phone and the newest version uploaded. I tried it out and the speed, viewfinder, stability and ease of use have immediately convinced me to use this as my go-to photo app. Great work! ### 5/5 — Great *2020-09-12* Please add anility to zoom with one finger (swipe up - zoom in | swipe down - zoom out) ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2020-02-19, version 4.6* A very sophisticated and comprehensive app for instantly taping and pic taking with 16:9 ratio that is backward compatible with ios 9! ### 5/5 — Vertical mode! *2020-02-10* Please make it possible to edit and flip a horizontal vid to vertical and vice versa. Been using your app from v1, and this feature would be a dream come true, especially importing from other sources like camera roll to make this feature work. ### 5/5 — 👍🏻❤️ *2020-01-24, version 4.3* live it. great app! ### 5/5 — I always love this for me an vince *2020-01-10, version 4.3* Me an vince ### 5/5 — THIS APP IS AWESOME 👏 *2019-10-28, version 4.3* If you are an aspiring YouTuber, Video Creator or Online Instructor like me. THIS APP IS AMAZING. I have an Online Class on “How To Read Palms” on Skillshare.com that was CREATED with this app on a VERY old phone. I have earned real money from the Class. This App helped me to create it. I love that I can see myself on screen WHILE I am recording, and film in YOUTUBE Horizontal format.👏👏👏😊 ### 5/5 — Don’t die *2019-06-12, version 4.3* This is a great app. Keep it going. ### 5/5 — Great for recording YouTube videos! *2019-04-20, version 4.3* After trying it out for a bit, I purchased and changed the default camera to this app! Absolutely amazing! So great to not have to worry about holding the phone exactly level - yet the resulting video looks level and always in horizontal mode- almost like I used a basic gimbal. Great for recording YouTube videos! (I hate watching YouTube that was recorded in portrait - or even worse when the video is at a weird angle!) Also, fantastic developer for allowing us to fully test this app prior to purchasing - just a small watermark prior to purchase. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
