### 2/5 — App Crashing Constantly

*2025-01-15, version 1.5.1*

The gimbal, fantastic!!! Had for 6 years. The app, constant crashing and won’t even launch at this point so basically the gimbal is bricked for all intents and purposes. You can’t open the app to change modes and get the full use of the gimbal.

### 3/5 — La aplicación se bloquea.

*2024-08-24, version 1.5.1*

La aplicación se volvió muy problemática después de conectarla al estabilizador de teléfono inteligente FREEFLY Movi Cinema Robot. 😂

### 3/5 — It was working fine

*2023-04-13, version 1.5.1*

Then it just started to freeze when I opened the app.  I reset my phone, I checked my storage and it was fine.  I finally just deleted the app.   I really don’t want this to happen again

### 3/5 — Great but not ready for new iPhones

*2021-10-06, version 1.5.1*

I loved this gimbal but now the iPhone 13's camera has to be unbalanced far out to the left in order not to have the gimbal in the shot. Please come up with a fix so I can keep using this amazing tool!

### 2/5 — Errors out loosing footage

*2021-02-17, version 1.5.1*

Several times I’ve had the app error out when I finish a longer recording and the whole recording is deleted. Definitely using filmic pro instead of this app moving forward.

### 3/5 — No update for IOS 14

*2021-01-01, version 1.5.1*

Its been a while and this  has not been updated for IOS 14.

### 2/5 — App abandonnée ?

*2020-12-06, version 1.5.1*

Timelapse? Tracking?

### 1/5 — Pas d’enregistrement du son

*2020-09-15, version 1.5.1*

Application inutilisable pour moi, car elle n’enregistre pas le son (ou plutôt un son complètement déformé et asynchron). Pour cette raison, il n’y a pas d’audiomètre disponible. Très étrange comme manque! Comme le gimbal Movi est génial, je l’utilise avec FilmicPro, entièrement pris en charge par le stabilisateur.

### 1/5 — Can use wide angle lens for video

*2020-09-03, version 1.5.1*

Great app but I can seem to get the option for the iPhone 11 wide angle lens.

### 4/5 — Cinema Robot still supported?

*2020-09-02, version 1.5.1*

Love the hardware, but haven’t seen an update to the software in a year, and a new OS is pending—is this product still being supported?

### 3/5 — Troubles

*2020-08-25, version 1.5.1*

Always shot down. And didn’t updates my movi cinema robot to v13.. while updating my movi shot down.

### 1/5 — Unusable Until Patched

*2020-08-12, version 1.5.1*

I love the Freefly Movi gimbal.
I also think the app is clean and has cool features.
However, it is truly unusable until it is patched:

1.  It [very] frequently fails to save the video.
This has been particularly painful when capturing action shots that cannot be reproduced.

2.  Further more, it consistently “freezes” in a way that still shows video but doesn’t let any of the buttons work on phone or gimbal and both devices need to be restarted.
Yesterday, I gave up on a beautiful timelapse because it wouldn’t let me interact with it with 6 attempts.

I could offer a few other places for improvement, but none of that matters until these two issues are solved.

### 3/5 — The movi is fun to use. But?....

*2020-08-08, version 1.5.1*

Are there any updates coming? Or are you guys leaving it the way it is? Ever single app I have gets updated every other week! And other ones every week. Gives us some love back!

### 1/5 — Bugs out. Can’t even use it.

*2020-07-06, version 1.5.1*

Works for the first 5 seconds and then it freezes. I’ve reinstalled it and restarted my phone and it doesn’t fix it. Sometimes it works but mostly doesn’t. Used to work back then.

### 2/5 — Abandoned app

*2020-06-21, version 1.5.1*

The hardware is great but they stopped developing the app.  DJI support is better and keeps changing making the hardware better.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2020-06-06, version 1.5.1*

It keeps crashing

### 1/5 — Crashing: useless device

*2026-05-30, version 1.5.1*

This app will not stop crashing, rendering the phone to gimble pairing impossible. Essentially making good hardware, useless and junk.

### 1/5 — The movi is fun to use. But?....

*2025-04-27, version 1.5.1*

Are there any updates coming? Or are you guys leaving it the way it is? Please help us out. Update the app so we can continue using the gimbal.

### 1/5 — No update singe 2019 !

*2024-12-18, version 1.5.1*

Obsolète equipment because the app is crashed every time, thank you Freefly. 😡

### 1/5 — App not upgraded in years

*2024-11-23, version 1.5.1*

Why the Movi app is not being upgraded? The hardware was not cheap to acquire. Clearly, this is a disservice to all the customers who place their hard-earned money in such a brand. Disappointing.

### 1/5 — APP DOESN’T WORK

*2024-10-12, version 1.5.1*

Update your app you bums.

### 1/5 — ?

*2024-05-12, version 1.5.1*

Vous êtes comme ça ? vous laissez tomber les détenteurs d’un stabilisateur sans faire de mise à jour ? sans nous proposer des nouvelles choses ? Allez quoi faites un effort vous êtes riche a millions et vous n’avez pas cinq minutes à nous consacrer ? Ont a besoin d une mise a jour merci

### 1/5 — Very selfish company

*2023-01-08, version 1.5.1*

To put out a product and not update the app is unacceptable . Bad business. And now the gimbal is no longer being produced. But still, an honest company should and would update the app. Considering the price we paid for this gimbal. You basically just hung us out to dry. Pathetic and cowardly.

### 1/5 — No App Update in 3 Years!? :-(

*2022-12-24, version 1.5.1*

Any chance you’d be able to update your app to support the latest iOS versions and devices? Many of us have working Movi hardware that our phones no longer support. Please update this app so we can keep using the devices we purchased without fail. Tyvm!

### 1/5 — Don’t buy this gimbal!

*2021-02-07, version 1.5.1*

Bummed I paid $500 for my gimbal and system, counterweights, hoodie, etc and no updates for an app that constantly crashes and loses the Bluetooth connection to the phone, rendering the Movi buttons useless. I was an Osmo user for years, should’ve stayed. (I don’t think Movi Freefly is even being made any longer.. 2/2021)

### 1/5 — Must make update

*2021-01-22, version 1.5.1*

Need more future

### 5/5 — Give the cinema robot second live!!!!

*2024-06-25, version 1.5.1*

Nice app, but really needs more fps settings, and definitely wide angle camera for new iPhones.
And codecs... 
2024 and I've just byed cinema robot, it's still better than the others!!! 
Please, update the app!!! Everybody will love it

### 5/5 — Amazing Gimbal

*2022-09-21, version 1.5.1*

I just discovered this gimbal. Since Filmpro will be unobtainable due to subscription pricing. Will you keep the app active for the next 10 years for. If not, what other app have full integration with the gimbal beside Filmpro.

### 5/5 — Discontinued

*2021-09-27, version 1.5.1*

I know the product is discontinued but could you guys update this with cinematic mode?

Great product over all

### 5/5 — Still no updates

*2020-10-21, version 1.5.1*

Love the gimble give it5 stars but the app hasn’t been updated in years wasn’t updated for iOS 13 now we’re on iOS 14 still no update it seems like they forgot us for the lack of updates I’ll give the app a 3 star

### 5/5 — Lovely app

*2019-12-22, version 1.5.1*

I love the app and product. Makes me professional.

Recently, I am having trouble with recording a long video. When I take more than 20min video, I get an error and video gets not saved. If you could let me know how I can fix this. It would be wonderful. 

Otherwise, the app is a masterpiece.

Thanks.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-07-02, version 1.5.1*

Whoever designs UX for this app — a ticket to heaven to this person. 
The best application among the segment.
 
The Gimble itself has a couple of flaws, e.g.: it does not sustain linear motion, accelerates instead, too heavy to handle it for a couple of hours, “greensreens” videos sometimes(you just loose the footage).. but they are improving constantly.
 
Great job Freefly!!

### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing

*2019-06-19, version 1.5.1*

I have used the MōVI Pro for years now and this is my absolute favorite way to use a camera. It’s so compact and accurate that it makes getting great footage so easy. Pairing this with moment lenses and an ND filter is the best lightweight travel setup in my opinion. The one thing that I’d love to see added is a LOG shooting mode.

### 5/5 — Near perfection

*2019-05-20, version 1.5.1*

Less then one week i posted a review about not being able to use my anamorphic lens on your app because you didn’t have the option to switch between lenses and you guys didn’t just give me that but also put the anamorphic preview for us that use anamorphic lenses. Thanks for the amazing update.. ps I bought the zhiyun smooth 4 just for the vertigo effect.. it just sets a distance, like A close to the person and then I move and set the B, distant and then I move from A to B going further from the person while zooming to make the effect.. can you try to implement it as a new mode? I literally just bought it for the effect. It would save me time recording since I wouldn’t need to change gimbals. Yours are my favorite

### 5/5 — Top app

*2019-04-24, version 1.2.3*

Zu all den guten Funktionen jetzt auch die Filmic Pro Integration. 
Fehlt nur noch die lang ersehnte Tracking Funktion.

### 5/5 — Tracking

*2019-03-29, version 1.2.3*

It will be the best app when it will be have tracking mode.
