User reviews

I love this viewfinder

I’ve ditched all other apps… I wish it could use the power of the sensors and give an approximate feel of the depth of field

Response from developer

Thanks for your kind review

No selfie

I can’t turn the camera mode to face me…

Response from developer

This is a viewfinder, not a selfie camera 😂

Great App

I had a project due for cinematography class that was all about capturing composition under certain framing and MM and this app greatly helped with that. It has all the aspect ratios the assignment required at the time and there was no hassle at all.

Response from developer

Glad you appreciated. Thanks so much for your review

Alexa 35 support?

Any update inn the works to support the Alexa 35 with the new sensor size?

Why?

Can I stop moving the capture button?
I can’t get it. Why is still moving after subscribe? What is this point? Why? So annoying.

Response from developer

The Capture button is trying to educate you))) Just follow it and make that move — it’s teaching you to switch between still and video mode 😂
