### 5/5 — Best Blackmagic viewfinder app

*2018-05-03*

As a BMW camera owner, this app is perfect. Easy to use and love the addition of LUTs and other tools. Uninstalling Artemis!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your inspiring review!

### 1/5 — Post process

*2021-02-19*

Recorded a long video, post process deleted the entirety of it after processing for over 30mins

**Developer response:** Wow, thanks for your honest review. What is the device? You can write me at dev@kadru.net

### 1/5 — Mal

*2020-05-17, version 1.8.0*

Compre la versión premium permanente y me duro tan solo 5 minutos, me han cobrado algo que no me han dado.

### 1/5 — Manual Exposure Update

*2019-05-21*

I see what you were going for, but the Seconds slider makes no sense when it comes to how most people get exposure. I really like the Manual Exposure and Exposure lock as it was enough to just plan shots.

**Developer response:** Well, if you have a better idea for exposure just drop me a line to dev@kadru.net . Hope *all other* stuff seems helpful

### 2/5 — Frozen bar

*2023-09-23*

So there’s this frozen bar across the top of the frame whenever I open the app. I purchased this app and figured there wouldn’t be no issues. I tried contacting support it says not found.

**Developer response:** What do you mean? 😂😂😂  It’s a free app. The support is at dev(at)kadru.net tho

### 2/5 — Спасибо за Ваш труд

*2023-04-25, version 1.8.10*

Извините за отрицательный отзыв, но это негодится. 16мм похоже на 12мм, 25мм больше похоже на 16мм по углам обзора. Непонятно зачем выбирать камеру, если калибровать нужно любую из предложенных.
Update:
 Допустим, один раз, но если я хочу взять камеру в аренду, то мне придётся, брать её два раза, первый чтоб сматчить угол обзора, затем сдать камеру, сделать раскадровку, подобрать линзы и взять второй раз камеру чтоб уже снимать.
  Даже если в рентале я смогу договориться о том, что я сматчу на месте без аренды. Мне один фиг придётся ездить туда два раза.
  Не проще ли вам, сделать калибрацию под каждую модель айфона и айпада в приложении.
  И не парить людям мозги по этому поводу. Люди это в основном не оценят, но претензий не будет.

### 2/5 — Fix the view angle pls.

*2021-05-24*

The view angle of the preview and camera, when put side by side does not relate to each other, not even close.

**Developer response:** Please send me an email with screenshots to dev@kadru.net

### 2/5 — Great app, quite glitchy

*2018-03-06, version 1.2.4*

Video preview is very jerky (low FPS) below 20mm and device gets very hot.

Very heavy battery usage.

### 4/5 — I use it on every project

*2022-02-04*

This has become my only tool to plan and visualize shots and  the option to have the optical adapters and record video is definitely a must

**Developer response:** Thank you Sergio. I've put a lot of effort into this lovely app )

### 4/5 — Useful

*2021-06-15, version 1.8.0*

Useful but need you’ll need a reasonably up to date phone. My iPhone X is limited with this app on focal distances.

### 5/5 — Very good.

*2025-01-15, version 1.8.10*

Wonderful👍🏽

### 5/5 — Just Awesome tool to have with  my 4k.

*2022-11-19*

Thank You!!!!

**Developer response:** Glad to hear )

### 5/5 — Excellent Viewfinder! Great for scouting

*2021-09-29*

This is such an excellent viewfinder. I use it for scouting and it’s super helpful. Great app and a good deal!

**Developer response:** Thanks for nice review

### 5/5 — Práctica y Sencilla / Perfecta para localizar

*2021-06-04, version 1.8.0*

Es una perfecta herramienta cuando vamos a localizar y solo tenemos el móvil. Podemos ver tanto el tipo de plano, eligiendo la cámara y la lente con la que tiraremos, así como la estética de la cámara según el LUT.

### 5/5 — Best tool for DP on the run.

*2021-01-07*

I love having this tool in my pocket at all times, since I always have my phone or tablet on me I’m always able to scout locations when I’m out and about.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your kind review.

### 5/5 — Muy buena

*2020-08-31, version 1.8.0*

La verdad es que funciona genial. Para ser perfecta estaría bien poder añadir lentes externas al teléfono y que haga la conversión para que podamos elegir ópticas angulares en la app y ver el margen extra que daría la lente puesta en la cámara (no se si me explico).
Otra cosa que quedaría genial es poder exportar en .PDF las fotos y que el apartado de coordenadas GPS sea un enlace a Maps.
A parte de estas propuestas, le doy 5 estrellas porque la app funciona estupendamente y es muy buena a la hora de localizar y luego mantener toda la información de todo (lente, ubicación, cámara, adaptador, etc...)

### 5/5 — Bought the full version

*2020-02-17*

This is an awesome app. I want to upgrade to iPhone 11 so I hope the wider angles won't have the pink crop. 
I wish this app had the capabilities to do storyboards from photos and some notes to add to print out.

**Developer response:** Thanks! Yes, 11 makes a huge difference when you select Ultra Wide camera.
Working on the storyboard feature now... meanwhile: shoot a couple of short videos, select them in Gallery and press the Share button 😊

### 5/5 — Супер!

*2019-12-02, version 1.7.5*

Нереально крутая программа. Удобная, легкая в обучении и применении. Спасибо разработчику)

### 5/5 — Gran aplicación

*2019-09-25, version 1.6*

Realmente intuitiva y llena de posibilidades. No es cara para todo lo que ofrece.

### 5/5 — Update

*2018-09-12, version 1.3.5*

For iPhone X need a new version actually
