Lots of features
If you need more controls than what the stock camera app offers, check this one out. Lots of options and an easy interface. One star lost because you can’t edit in landscape orientation.
Unique with good features
I really like all the fine tune and manual controls, including the zoom speed adjustment. When I checked some test footage using Exiftool I saw that metadata are encoded correctly including gps coordinates. This isn’t an important consideration to most people but they are to me. Although I don’t have a Bluetooth mic, I like that it can support one. The editing feature is basic, yet it enables you to quickly throw together a video that’s comprised of several clips stitched together. Although you can’t directly copy or move a clip from one project to another, you can import a clip that’s part of another project from the Camera Roll, or even other videos that weren’t filmed using the app. That said I personally don’t like that the app saves recordings directly to the camera roll, although it’s one of the app’s main features. This would not be my main app for recording video, but it has certain advantages over other apps which are enough for me to use in specific situations.

Good app but…
Hi, I love the app but I’m struggling to use a usb remote to Initiate video recording. My remote works on the ios camera app well but it adjusts the sound on this app??? Please advise
Remote control access
Hi I just purchased your app, and I’ve been trying to find a good app that will take videos record pause play, but with a remote control, is there any way to connect a lanyard???

Totally worth it
I stumbled onto this app a few years back and I wish I could set it as my default camera in someways. It had all the features I needed specially microphone input selection and monitoring and a nice simple interface the editing system is not bad although I haven’t used it too much. I could’ve swore there was a way to manually set white balance. Glad to see that this is getting updated I hope it continues. You can take photos while recording video. There can occasionally be bugs but usually you close out and it resets and fixes it and I haven’t lost any files yet although I did have a audio video synchronization issue once and I think that was from unplugging the microphone while recording.
I have it on every device from a 4s to 13 mini.

Response from developer
Thanks for the thoughtful and thorough review! Great to hear you are enjoying Kinomatic. Your feedback and suggestions are much appreciated: an option to lock to landscape video in the app is a great idea.
Weird popping noises in audio
This app was working fine and recently strange popping noises happen anytime I record rendering the app useless to me. Just a waste of money for me now. I checked to make sure my levels were not clipping in the app, just using my normal voice in a quiet room. I deleted the app and reinstalled and still have the same thing. I tested my normal camera app on my iPhone 8 and it doesn’t do this. Wouldn’t recommend.

Corrupt file
I want to like and recommend this app but can’t. Great features and loads of useful formats. I tried transferring a large 50min video (9gb) from iPhone to iMac. The only way I could was to load in iMovie then save to camera roll. Then transfer the new file, who knows why. Not good enough I want something reliable.

Can Get Back to Home Screen
First time user. I couldn’t figure out how to get back out of video mode to start or home screen. How do I easily get to list of my saved videos?
Response from developer
Hi Blue Minny. To go from the camera to the editor, tap the EDIT button (next to record button). To go from the editor to the camera, tap the camera button (top of screen). To see all your projects, tap the library button on the editor screen (four squares on top of screen, next to the camera button). Individual clips you record are all saved to your phone's camera roll. Email us at help@kinomatic.co any time if you have more questions!
Preset option now crashes app
I used to use this app all the time but since getting an iPhone 11 every time I try to select a preset it crashes. It’s getting frustrating having to reset it every time I need to use it
Bluetooth setting not working
How do I access the Bluetooth option on the app? I go in the app to find I can’t even use it, waste of my money
excellent
does everything i need it to do. the low memory footprint and very reasonable battery usage are a huge plus on my iPhone 6s.
Definitely worth the money
This app rocks!!
So far it has drastically improved my phone videos for my YouTube channel!

Recorded video skips frames
Everything is okay until i boost the frame rate pass 50 then the recorded video when played back skip frames throughout the whole recording . Please reply, thanks.
Buggy on Xs
Finding this buggy on iPhone XS. Intermittent error with zoom not always working. Occasional corrupt video files and locked settings suddenly reverting to auto when pushing record. It also creates a lot of compression artefacts in low contrast areas. Some features would be great if I could trust them to work consistently. Disappointed with the purchase.

Solid
Great app
Disappointed
I purchased this app specifically because it said you could (per their website)“Set and monitor audio levels.” I use a lapel mic with my phone for shooting YouTube videos I was having problems with clipping.
After opening the app I could find no option for setting audio levels. I am very disappointed. I wasted $4 to find out this could not do what it claimed to be able to do.

App
Thank you for this great movie app.
Not great
Try to start an edit and it just shuts down and video lost... now gotta purchase elsewhere.
Nice app
I like all the video features within the app and manual use. They need to fix for the iphone x’s
sebastian.jpgLike the cinematic preset
I paid for this so I could film in 1080p at 24fps. Thank you. The place holder for black bars helps too.
I find it strange tho that in the editor, you aren’t able to make a simple cut. That’s pretty much the only thing I’m looking to do when I edit something on my phone. Otherwise I can make trims in my own camera roll.
If you are able to make a cut, please make it more obvious. I spent five minutes hitting every button and digging through every menu and couldn’t find a way.
Exporting entire projects at 24fps would be awesome too (for projects including clips shot at 30fps and higher) but idk if thats possible to do with iOS.
