Great camera but problem with LUTs

This is a fantastic camera app but I've just started having a major problem with LUTs. I had imported some and they are in the User section of the LUT selector but I can't tap on them to make them active. How do I fix this?

Photo save delay

Why the huge delay in saving the photo and if I close the app before the photo is saved, then it is lost forever. The app is otherwise great, love the natural processing, instead of apple fusion, but the delay is a functional hazard! Please fix that.

Response from developer

Unfortunately, this is an iOS limitation, especially on the lock screen. The photo shouldn’t be lost forever though. Check Moment -> Recovered Media in Files.

SUPER, MAIS …

L’application est génial. Cependant, j’ai quelques bugs sur IPhone 14 Pro, notamment l’effet sonore ne fonctionne pas alors qu’il est bien activé ou encore les médias qui se sauvegarde dans « Fichier » alors que j’ai réglé sur « Photothèque »

Response from developer

Please reach out using one of the options at the bottom of the settings page or by emailing hello@shopmoment.com with Pro Camera in the subject line. Let us know if you're using an external mic. It sounds like something odd might be happening with the audio system.

Good app but has a major issue

The app itself and the layout is great. The image and video quality is fantastic but far too many times now it hasn't saved my videos. An app can have a million features but what's the point if it doesn't save your files? It's a common issue and it's a big one. I can't use it as a serious tool in its current state as I can't trust it. It's let me down too many times in the few weeks I've had it.

Works great with Moment Lenses

Love the app, works amazingly well with the 2x telephoto lens from Moment on my iPhone 17 pro max. One gripe- when I hit the “x” to leave photo mode, I wish it would actually close photo mode and go back to the live camera view. Instead I have to mash the “x” about 15 times before it will actually work.

Unable to revert

The app works wonderfully and judt as advertised. The one flaw I find is that I’m unable to revert the program to original settings without deleting and reinstalling. Is there simple fix?

They disable 2x telephoto

My iPhone has one camera that has 1x and 2x telephoto native. Most apps support this but moment disables it because they have physical lenses they are trying to sell you. Otherwise this would be everything I look for in a camera app. It’s odd that I can zoom in blur/trails mode though

AWESOME

So far it’s SUPER AMAZING. I honestly bought it blindly but I was genuinely in awe with the way the developers respond to every review, and most of the reviews themselves are positive. I’ve never seen any developer/team put this much effort into an app and not only is the app exactly what I wanted, it’s so much more lol. I don’t really know much about cameras but I intend to learn, AND I really love the shots I’ve been able to get with this app so far. I haven’t yet encountered any bugs or glitches, and it seems like it’s definitely worth the money. I can’t wait to use it more and learn how to. Thank you guys for making a super epic app, have a great day!!!!

Means a lot to us! We hope the app continues to grow with you as you learn more and more. Feel free to reach out on Featurebase, Discord, or Reddit (all linked in the app settings) if you ever have any questions.

It takes learning

It should be expected. It means it’s very capable. But I’ve had puzzling experiences. Shooting a landscape in bright sunlight. I get an image of my feet. ??

Bug photo library last update

Unable to delete photos; no favorites; sometimes it doesn't save the photo or the long exposure in the gallery.

Response from developer

This sounds like an iOS bug in which the media library stops responding to requests from third-party apps. Unfortunately we cannot control this, but force restarting your device as follows should fix it: 1. Press and quickly release the volume up button. 2. Press and quickly release the volume down button. 3. Press and hold the side button. 4. When the Apple logo appears, release the side button.

Misleading - no log

Does not shoot Log on non pro iPhone despite the claims on the George Holden video on their website. On iPhone 15 I only have hevc/h264 options

This App is beautiful

Used a few different apps, including the first moment camera but this one is a huge upgrade. Money well spent. The design team for moment are truly good at what they do. I love using my different LUTs and it’s easy to learn just by tapping buttons. It will be the app I use for my next trip!

iPhone17ProMax完全対応して欲しい点

iPhone 17proの100mmのカメラのフォーカスに合わせて欲しい。純正のアプリでは近接できるのに、このアプリでは離れないと撮影ができなくて不便です。

Response from developer

The built-in camera app does not actually use the telephoto (100mm) lens for close-up shots because this lens is physically incapable of focusing closely. Instead, it uses the wide (24mm) lens with a digital zoom to match the focal length of the 100mm lens. You can verify this by covering the telephoto camera with your finger while focusing on something close. If you want similar results in Pro Camera, just use the 24mm option and zoom in about 4x.

Having issues

Bought this one a used for a bit and prefer the moment camera app 1, except the other one doesn’t have the wb like this one, this app keeps crashing while zooming which is annoying, and also I can’t redownload the other app.

Devs are cooking 🔥 already beats Blackmagic

First off, apologies for how harsh my initial review sounded, this team clearly works hard and cares. I’ve been in the beta, and it’s been genuinely cool to watch the app improve and see how responsive the devs are.

Little by little it’s become my go-to for anything shot with intention (vlogs, stock footage, client shoots, slow shutter tracking), native camera still wins for short, last-minute grabs. Between this and Blackmagic Camera, Moment Pro 2 beta is winning me over, Blackmagic feels cluttered and buggier by comparison. I could see this becoming my only camera app before long. Stabilization in the beta feels smoother than before too, though unconfirmed, and I’m excited for the advanced stabilization update.

Overall, great experience and getting better fast.

EDIT: Thank you for the details. There is a way to send logs! It requires some additional steps though, so please email us at hello@shopmoment.com with Pro Camera in the subject line. EDIT: It is frustrating to watch your review get more and more negative with each edit. We are sorry to hear about your issues and would very much like to address them. However, because your experience is an outlier, we need more details about your particular device and settings to investigate the underlying cause. EDIT: regarding the issues you would like us to investigate – please reach out via email, Featurebase, Discord, or Reddit. Editing this review as the only means of communication makes it very difficult for us to gather the necessary information, especially since many of these issues have not been reported by any other users and are not reproducible on our test devices. We would love to gather some more diagnostics from your device. PREVIOUS RESPONSE: Thank you for the detailed feedback! Enhanced stabilization, slow shutter, and burst are all coming. For now, the recommended way to save white balance presets is via Profiles, but I understand how individual WB options could be useful. Please add this to our Featurebase as well when you get a chance!

Great app, Even better developers

I have been using this app for quite a while to get past some of the apple-isms of the inbuilt camera app on iOS. This app has been amazing, to say the least. It unlocks pretty much every possible feature available (within the API's limits of course, we'll get back to that) and makes it all available in a fairly simple interface.

Now - if you are new to photography and never used a proper DSLR or SLR film camera, many of the controls and features in this app will mean absolutely nothing to you. I suggest you keep at it and just play with the sittings (or look up a tutorial) because it is absolutely worth learning how to use these features, and Moment Pro Camera II makes it easy to access them.

The auto-settings are pretty much identical to how Apple runs them (even down to the thing that lead me to buy this app - the LiDAR autofocus on iPhones focuses on your window rather than outside of the window!) but this app gives a darn easy interface for manually setting your focus! Something Apple doesn't even give you! This alone is amazing in general, and the fact that the developers went through the effort of adding a green glow to items currently in focus has been quite helpful for taking quick shots whilst on the move in full sunlight.

Now, on that API thing; I noticed shooting video at 120fps caused it to shoot in slow-mo and reached out to the developers. Very promptly, the developers replied to me and explained what the issue was and how it was just a feature of how Apple runs the camera on the back-end. The developers spent a while researching it, and reached back out to me a few months later to tell me that they were unable to find a solution. It's so rare to find a developer team willing to take the time to do tech support in general, and it's even more rare to find a team willing to take the time to reach out to you months after your question was answered.

I love the app, and I love the team behind it. If you're thinking of buying it, buy it. This app is well worth the purchase!

Amazing value

I rarely pay for apps, but I decided to give this a try and I genuinely believe it’s worth the money. This app lets you capture a “moment” with all of its flaws which I love to be able to do.

My only suggestion would be if there’s any workaround that would let us see the preview image being as close as the one taken since the difference can be quite noticeable.

Response from developer

We’re working on it! Unfortunately there are a number of iOS limitations that get in the way.

Audio off sync

This is a joke guys. I seriously cannot rely on this app.

I use my DJI mic to record audio with the app. It is off sync. They say it’s because I mirrored my phone to my MacBook; to use as an external monitor. Recently did another recording no screen sharing and the audio is slightly off sync.

I am so busy. If you guys send a link for me to upload files instead of having me upload a file on my own time that would be helpful. I’m not an employee. I should not have to work more. Me having to explain this issue is already too much of my time.

Very disappointed. An issue spanning the last 3 months.

perfect... nearly

and the fact that i can add my own luts is absolutely bonkers! the only caveat is that when i use the launch control from the lock screen its always defaults to the video...... no matter what settings ive set before

and the icon on that launch control.. when you are in customisation screen it have a correct size, but when you leave it - it goes smaller and it looks weird

⚠️ Beautiful but too buggy

Really love this app because the design is beautiful, it works so well and it could easily be my main camera app, but it’s just a bit too buggy currently 😭

Had the app open for 23 minutes on my iPhone 17 Pro just customizing presets and settings — not once did I record. Lost 9% charge from that alone, and my phone got so hot I had to close the app before I finished.
ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)

Stabilization is good, roughly on par with Default mode on Blackmagic’s camera app. If you’re shooting handheld without a gimbal depending on your project, you might consider Cinematic or Extreme stabilization on Blackmagic instead. I’m running a SmallRig cage, and Moment’s stabilization works decently with that setup, tho sometimes I'm switching to Blackmagic. Excited for the advanced stabilization update which I guess is in the works?

Pairing a Bluetooth mic before recording sometimes scrambles my capture settings — no idea why, but it resets once I disconnect. Can be fixed manually in the meantime.

Feature requests: 1-5 easily reachable custom function buttons, the ability to delete/edit WB presets, 1-5sec slow shutter, 5+ burst shots for action and a false color option.

I know Moment is a small team, and I’m hoping to see fixes soon — heating and battery drain are the top priorities. If there’s a way to send LOGs directly to the devs, I’ll gladly do that.
Btw just saw your edits. My bad. Your previous update did fix it a bit I think. Not quite ready for this to be my go to yet though. Battery drains too quick, but I'm hopeful 🤞🏼
