User reviews

External mic

I love and appreciate this app. Minor issue: External mics used to be recognized but not anymore.

Update broke audio

The most recent update broke audio input and now I can’t record audio with anything other than the iPhone front microphone. Completely unusable for things like DJI, headphones, or any other audio types

Super application

Vivement la prise en charge du corps de façon natif sans passer par l’ordinateur

Newest update broke my workflow

I use unreal 5.4.4 and all the new footage is skewed and no longer works. Please fix this soon.

Realtime Animation option not showing even under Metahuman Animator

it was work from last update and with newest update it’s not working…
