Lots of options and an easy interface. One star lost because you can’t edit in landscape orientation. ### 4/5 — Good app but… *2022-04-18, version 1.12.1* 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 ### 4/5 — Remote control access *2022-02-02* 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??? Sincerely Mike ### 4/5 — Totally worth it *2022-01-18* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 3/5 — Corrupt file *2020-07-04, version 1.12.1* 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. ### 3/5 — Can Get Back to Home Screen *2020-04-21* 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? **Developer response:** 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.

Please reply, thanks. ### 2/5 — Buggy on Xs *2019-04-12, version 1.11.0* 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. ### 4/5 — Nice app *2018-11-05* I like all the video features within the app and manual use. They need to fix for the iphone x’s ### 3/5 — Like the cinematic preset *2018-08-15* 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. ### 5/5 — Video Maker *2016-07-28, version 1.10.1* Great App ### 5/5 — Excellent but two things *2015-12-10, version 1.10.0* Definitely the best pro camera out there but it would be nice for the white balance during recording to be automatically changing or a mode that activates that and also the function for taking still photos while recording. ### 5/5 — Very close to perfect (for me) *2015-12-06, version 1.10.0* robust, reliable, professional. my favourite camcorder app for serious work, it's never let me down. ### 5/5 — Great and keeps getting better! *2015-12-06, version 1.10.0* By far the most stable video camera out there. The controls and presets are great. No brain er for anyone wanting the most out of their camera! ### 5/5 — Almost perfect *2015-10-07, version 1.9.0* Really well made app and most importantly stable and reliable. Manual controls are very well designed as the wheel to set them is big and not over sensitive. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Weird popping noises in audio *2021-01-01* 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. ### 1/5 — Preset option now crashes app *2020-03-01, version 1.12.1* 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 ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2019-02-03, version 1.11.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Not great *2018-11-16, version 1.11.0* Try to start an edit and it just shuts down and video lost... now gotta purchase elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Potential is worthless if it can't perform!! *2014-11-01, version 1.4.0* Easy to use and nice features but rarely works!! Fix the bugs!!! Worthless every time I try and use it the program turns off!!! ### 1/5 — Pretty useless. *2014-10-13, version 1.3.1* Why is there not support for slo-mo clips?? Slo-mo is he best video feature of the new iPhone. In my opinion. This app is simply a lame toy without the ability to import slo-mo vids from my camera roll. Frustrated, I want a refund. ### 1/5 — Doesn't seem to work *2014-08-18, version 1.1.1* Nope won't work. ### 1/5 — wait for update *2014-07-21, version 1.1.0* A waste of $2 and 20 minutes of my time. Edited a video only to have the save video buttons not work. UI buggy as well. And not sure if intentional, but I don't need every single clip to have the audio fade out. Otherwise a simple editing app that I'd likely use all the time. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2014-07-19, version 1.1.0* It can't export... It freezes. Needs transitions for cup editing. Every other app has this feature. This app has potential just don't waste your money until it's fixed. ### 2/5 — Bluetooth setting not working *2020-01-15* 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 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Unique with good features *2024-03-26* 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. ### 5/5 — excellent *2019-11-13, version 1.12.1* does everything i need it to do. the low memory footprint and very reasonable battery usage are a huge plus on my iPhone 6s. ### 5/5 — Definitely worth the money *2019-10-07, version 1.11.0* This app rocks!! So far it has drastically improved my phone videos for my YouTube channel! ### 5/5 — Solid *2019-03-31, version 1.11.0* Great app ### 5/5 — App *2018-12-09* Thank you for this great movie app. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2018-02-28* Simple to use yet advanced enough st the same time! ### 5/5 — Delivers as promised *2017-07-30, version 1.11.0* It's a great video app with tons of different resolution choices,my go to if I have to shoot video ### 5/5 — Great! *2017-07-23, version 1.10.1* This is a great app, especially for vlogging. Great quality, and overall I just highly recommend it ### 5/5 — Editor *2017-04-12* Is a great app but needs other things. For example slide shows with pictures and more colors of letters ### 5/5 — Perfect for what I need. *2017-02-03* Manual controls allowed me to use my phone for my classes at school. Also has rule of thirds and other nice features. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
