This App is beautiful
Having issues
Devs are cooking 🔥 already beats Blackmagic
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.

Great app, Even better developers
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
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.
Audio off sync
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 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

Glad you like it! Please reach out using one of the options at the bottom of the settings menu so we can investigate your issues.
⚠️ Beautiful but too buggy
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.

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 🤞🏼

Huge fan, nearly perfect
Response from developer
Thanks for the review! This is on the lock screen, right? Unfortunately, this is an iOS limitation. There is no way for us to continue processing or saving an image once you quit the locked version of the app. The next time you open the unlocked version, the photo should appear.
Request: Disable Front Camera Button During Shooting
I have one feature request: could you please add an option to hide or disable the front camera switch button?
When shooting with the iPhone 17 Pro, I sometimes accidentally tap the front camera switch button while trying to switch lenses from 24mm to 100mm, since the button is placed close to the 100mm option. When I’m focused on shooting, suddenly seeing my own face on the screen really breaks my concentration.
If I want to take selfies, I use the native iPhone Camera app. For Moment, it would be extremely helpful to have a rear-camera-only mode, or an option to disable the front camera switch. I understand there may be technical or design limitations, but I would really appreciate it if you could consider adding this feature.
Other than that, I’m very happy with the app.
普段の撮影で非常に使いやすく、最近では個人的なワークをMomentアプリとiPhoneだけで撮影することも多くなっています。特にナチュラルな画質で撮影できる点を気に入っており、大変便利に使わせていただいています。
一点だけ要望があります。
フロントカメラへの切り替えボタンを、設定で非表示または無効化できる機能を追加していただけないでしょうか。
iPhone 17 Proで撮影している際、レンズを24mmから100mmへ切り替えようとしたときに、100mmボタンの近くにあるフロントカメラ切り替えボタンを誤って押してしまうことがあります。撮影に集中している最中に突然フロントカメラへ切り替わって自分の顔が表示されると、かなり集中が途切れてしまいます。
自撮りをしたい場合は純正のカメラアプリを使用するため、Momentではリアカメラ専用で使えるモードがあると非常に助かります。アプリの設計上、フロントカメラ切り替えを無効化することが難しいのかもしれませんが、もし可能であればぜひご検討いただければ幸いです。
それ以外の面では大変満足しています。
incredible, saved my phone photography

It sounds like you might have entered ISO priority mode by accident. Please check your exposure settings next to the shutter button. If you still have issues, feel free to reach out using one of the options at the bottom of the settings page and we’ll be happy to assist.
Won’t let you shoot true Manuel
Ótimo app
Review
Love this, but needs work
The stabilization is solid, but I'd love granular control over the intensity levels — specifically tuning Cinematic and Extreme to match what Blackmagic Camera offers. Right now there's no way to dial it in precisely.
Viewfinder overlays and tools frequently vanish mid-recording, and it gets worse as the iPhone heats up.
Slow shutter and burst mode are missing, which limits the app for light streak and sports photography.
Speaking of heat: my iPhone 17 Pro runs noticeably hotter with this app than it does with Blackmagic Camera under comparable conditions. Worth investigating.
Finally, the ability to re-customize White Balance shortcuts would be big. I shoot video almost exclusively at 4800K and 5300K, and having those locked in as one-tap options would streamline my process considerably.
Super
I bought for the natural processing, but the lens correction is also gone
Не заменило стандартную камеру
Slow shutter and other issues
1. First picture takes a long time to get saved. Once I was on an escalator and got a really nice shot, clicked 3-4 pictures but none of them were saved anywhere.
2. Viewfinder in natural mode doesn’t work correctly, it’s actually deceptive. I end up underexposing my shots most of the time.
Everything else works perfectly. Thus 3 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️
