Great app, needs an update.

The iPhone 14 pro wide lens isn’t used so it’s masking more picture than needed

The Alexa35 is not in the camera packages.

Good app but needs more lens and format choices

This is a great app. And I’m sure they are on the way. But it needs more camera format, as well as lens choices. I’m on a show now were we are using Panavision Panaspeeds. They aren’t available in this app (yet). Hopefully soon. We are also shooting Arri Mini LF open gate 2:1. Which also isn’t an option in the app (yet). I was trying to get the DP and other Op onboard with it. But the lack of those things put them off for now. Hopefully there is an update soon. Great app with a lot of promise though.

Is this still being updated?

I love this app but it’s gone a year without updates now, including no support for ultra-wide cameras on the iPhone 11 and 12. Is it still being worked on?

Response from developer

Hi There! Just updating you again to let you know that as of version 1.4, all of the blackmagic cameras are supported, along with canon CN-E primes, and a generic set of lenses to form any set of focal lengths you like! ~Spenser

does not support iphone 11 super wide camera

the app is beautiful but when i switch to a wider lens (18 mm) the image is cropped with an arrow graphic filling the outer edges of the image. the iphone 11 camera covers that area but the app does not switch between cameras. this makes it basically useless.

iPhone 11 Pro Max lenses

Great viewfinder!! Is there any plan to update the app so it takes advantage of all the lenses on iPhone 11 Pro Max?

Response from developer

Hi there! Yes, I'm working on re-building it for the iPhone 11 Pro! It should be done early next year! Feel free to email me: spenser@mindvice.space if you want to chat about it, or have any suggestions! ~ Spenser

Great lens selection and anamorphic!

Was super stoked to find an app that had The proper FOV for anamorphic lenses. Very clean app and easy to use.

:(

Crush after update

Response from developer

Hi there! The bug has been fixed in this latest update. Thanks for the feedback! - Spenser

Great App!

Easy and functional interface.

Best Directors Viewfinder App (by far)

Fast, intuitive and simple UI. Exactly what I was looking for, thanks for putting this together, it’s easily the best of this type of app to quickly find and communicate frames as a DP or Director

Best director’s finder yet

First of all, the App just works. That’s already better than most. Next, by integrating specific cameras, formats, and lenses, that means that I can make a really accurate judgement on what’s needed when I’m on the scout. One every photo taken, all the metadata is printed on the edges so that there’s no guessing after the fact and you spend much less time taking notes. So far, this is the best app out there for an iPhone director’s finder.

Buggy

Great app when it worked but now crashes on open.

Response from developer

Hi! If it’s still crashing after the new update, please email me at spenser@mindvice.space and let me know! Thanks! Spenser

Accurate, Intuitive, awesome

I’ve been using this app for previewing focal lengths for the past month or so, and I’m super impressed.

It’s developers have done there research of various lens types and coverage of almost every professional format out there.

It’s obviously a tool created by someone who means to use it their self. And it shows with how quickly and easily you can get a reference up, save your selection of lenses and snap photos at those focal lengths.

I’ve been showing it to others who have been equally impressed.
