Barely Usable
For the price point of the Instax Mini Evo Cinema, I was extremely disappointed to discover that the app does not support data-cable transfer or provide a simple way to save video files directly to my phone’s photo gallery. These are basic features I would expect from a device in this price range, and their absence makes the app feel unnecessarily and frustratingly limited. Please address this.
I would also strongly encourage Fujifilm to improve the quality of the Era Effects. The 2020 effect is passable, but unfortunately, most of the others are so heavily processed that I find the resulting footage nearly unwatchable. More importantly, many of the effects do not convincingly resemble the actual film and video characteristics of the eras they are supposed to represent. If these effects are marketed around specific decades, they should reflect those periods with a reasonable degree of authenticity rather than simply applying exaggerated filters.
I genuinely like the concept behind the Mini Evo Cinema, which is why these limitations are so frustrating. At this price, I expected considerably more refinement in both the app and the Era Effects. Please improve the software and effects to better match the quality and promise of the hardware. Otherwise, I feel as though I paid a premium price for a product with only half of the functionality and quality I reasonably expected.

From "mini Evo development team" Thank you for your message. We are happy to hear that. Please have fun and play with our "mini Evo".
Let us save images to our phones from “my gallery”.
Hello,
The cameras good, apps ok. One issues I have is why photos cannot be saved to iPhone photos unless it’s been printed.
The photos transfer from the camera to the app very easily but saving them on the iPhone gallery is not working for normal photos taken on the camera.
I can only save the printed photos, why? Even then it has the ugly frame around it.
I have spent $500 on a camera that doesn’t let me access my photos. Just let us save the original image to photos without it being printed.
Thanks.

Poor quality prints
I was excited about this camera and the ability to print photos from my phone. My first photo print was poor quality and I thought that was a fluke but after printing another and doing some test it was clear that when using the app it was printing the photos in a lower resolution. Unfortunately these images are printed at half the resolution of printing the native images from the Mini Evo's camera itself. Print resolution directly from the Mini Evo camera is 1600x600 dots (25 dots/mm), however it is only 800x600 dots (12.5 dots/mm) printing from the app. If this issue was resolved it would be a 5 star app but as it is today it's worthless.
