Googling this term would enrich your knowledge in photo and film making industry no doubt. It basically simulates the field of view (and a bunch of other professional tools) for you without the real camera. Thousands of pros across the world use it to their benefit. Keep it up ) ### 2/5 — Money grab. *2019-09-12* All of the camera ecosystems should be in one app. I have the premium BMD version. I use canon as well. Will not be premium for that as well. I refuse. **Developer response:** So, you purchased my app and then give it 2 stars and calling it a money grab? Hm...🤨 ### 4/5 — Works really well! *2024-01-26* This app works real well, only issue I’ve noticed was that the frame seems a little wider here than it is on the camera. **Developer response:** Hey Prof Sandvich, thanks for your review. You might want to calibrate your device a bit — there is a dedicated menu option. It takes 2 min to sharpen the app’s precision. Drop me an email if further help needed. Cheers ### 4/5 — Love this app! *2019-03-30* Used it to help storyboard a film I shot this past weekend and it was extremely useful. I recommended purchasing the full version for the extra aspect ratios and features, definitely worth it! The only reason I give it four stars and not five, is due to the color of the aspect ratio outline. I wish there was a way to customize this or make it a brighter color. Also, I wish any pictures you take automatically crop to this aspect ratio! Besides that, amazing app! **Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for your review. You can change the color of the frame guide in the Preferences menu. Cropping to the frame guide is coming soon ### 5/5 — Video sound not working *2023-08-23* I used the video camera but my footage has no sound why **Developer response:** Sound is only for paid Premium Features ### 5/5 — Go To App for Shoots *2023-08-02* This app is a lifesaver, well maybe not a lifesaver but a valuable tool for production. Great for setting up shots and knowing exactly what you’ll get with your specific camera and lens. Love the still image Capture and the ability to share it with others. This app makes my life easier. Kudos to the developers! **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your kind review ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2020-05-13* Excellent app and easy to use. **Developer response:** Thanks for your kind words ) ### 5/5 — Great app - excellent support *2020-03-15* I love this app! I didn’t understand one aspect of it (my own ignorance, no problem with the app). I fired off an email and had a response within two minutes! Excellent support! **Developer response:** Thanks for the review!) ### 5/5 — Отличный режиссёрский визир! 🎥🎬🤩 *2019-07-18, version 1.5.5* Очень нужное приложение для препродакшена. Спасибо огромное разработчику! Добавлены варианты кадрирования для камеры Canon EOS-1DC в формате 4К и Super35. Роман, желаю Вам творческих успехов!✨ ### 5/5 — Полезное приложение *2019-07-10, version 1.5.2* Хорошее приложение для фотографов, можно не менять объективы, чтобы прикинуть fov ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Invaluable tool for filmmakers *2019-01-30* I cannot tell you how many times I have pulled this app out when I’m trying to set up a shot. It makes life as a director so much easier. Thank you! **Developer response:** Thanks so much. Glad you like it) ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2018-08-18* An invaluable tool for me in pre-production meetings as well as on film sets. It’s so helpful to be able to quickly pull this app out and confirm the framing I want before we set up the shot. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback ) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
