Why did they remove the ability to swap front/rear camera while recording?
There’s dual mode, but they took the ability to swap camera while recording out. The button disappear on auto and pro after pressing record. This did not occur in the older versions
What on earth have they done
This app used to be the best for customizing video settings and getting the most out of the iPhone cameras. I just used the update for the first time and 1) the record button wasn’t clear that it was even recording, and when I tried to hit record again to make sure it ended the video and then DIDNT EVEN SUCCESSFULLY SAVE IT. Back to the drawing board

Top Tier App
With a new update one of my favorite features got removed, after a quick email to their support team it got added back in the newest update.
Thanks again guys!
Thanks again guys!
PIP no longer works
I’m actually using this on an iPad. Maybe that’s my problem. But, the picture in picture functionality no longer works. When I’m recording, I can position my picture on the screen in any of the four corners or even in the middle, but when I look at the recorded video, It usually shows it in a different place or filling up either half of the screen or being cut off. I guess what I’m trying to say is the recorded version does not match what I’m seeing on the screen while I’m recording…

❤️ MoviePro!
MoviePro is a great app for movie-makers, novices and pros, alike! So many options, easy to use, and knowledgeable and responsive customer support, if needed! Thanks, MoviePro!
Support
With the latest update I panicked because I thought my videos had been deleted. Before I thought it through, I reached out to support and received respectful, clear responses and they were quick. Also my videos were there, just hiding. A+
Pause and camera switching is not an option
I used to be able to record and switch cameras from front to rear and also pause and now I can only do the pausing if I’m in the pro mode but not switch cameras, but in the dual mode I cannot pause, but I can switch cameras. This feature was available before without any issues not now.
UPDATE IS AWFUL
I have used this app for years to produce videos for work. The new update has ruined all capability of using the front camera. Completely awful!
Hoping for more
It’s really recent so I know it has a lot of potential to get better with the glitches. So far after testing the stabilization modes (after it was fixed last week) it is far better than other apps I’ve used before for recording. Although true, I cannot continue using the app because although I select to record HEVC with Apple log 2, it still creates huge files. Saving these huge recording to my camera roll I can see they are still ProRes. So now I’m back to blackmagic until they fix this.

Refresh unneeded
Refreshed look wasn’t needed. But it’s fine.
Problem is the difference between hitting the record button, the button basically stays the same colour.
When glancing to see if it’s recording it’s not intuitive if the button is in the recording mode or not.
There is a time stamp but… just make the button grey when not recording.
Or make the difference reasonably noticeable.

I Hate It!!!
They absolutely ruined it. This was my favorite camera app of all time. Now it's confusing, the font is tiny and the way it's arranged isn't user friendly. And the worse part is that they didn't give me the option to stay with the old version; the one that I actually paid for. Gone to BlackMagic.
New version is very much a let down
The new update seems to have lost the features and flexibilty I loved about this app.
My gripes reflect modern technology and being forced into the newest software update everytime. Really hoped this app was just gonna remain archaic yet compatable with my phone.
Oh well.

Everything feature I purchased this app for has been either obscured, removed, or worsened
Initially, the key reason I purchased this app was because I wanted to have the available feature to switch camera lenses mid-recording. Now that has been REMOVED.
Much of my preference for this app was flexibility in the workflow, and this included quick switching from face cam to what I’m seeing in a vlog type of format. My app auto-updated without warning and now I’m left without it.
Then, the feature that made me love the app was ALSO REMOVED, that being the ability to set custom resolutions. Now I’m locked into 16:9 it seems, because even though “framing guides” are said to be available these are NOT functioning properly. I wanted to exclusively shoot in 4:3, and it was working for a period after updating but now both the crop and framing guide options aren’t even appearing. Before my workflow was to use 1440x1080 at 60fps but not this isn’t working or seeming to appear.
I’ve also noticed there’s very little functionality even with the customization that’s left. I often will try and run different resolutions with different frame-rates and the app just freezes or displays a black screen. This is poor design. If it doesn’t work there should be conflict notifications before even allowing the user to set them. But I have a feeling it’s supposed to work and doesn’t, because it USED TO WORK.
It also doesn’t seem to let me pick a custom audio sample rate at all. What’s the deal with that? Has the options displaying but when I tap… nothing happens. Just stays on auto.
Everything being, “you can only record this way with these settings,” when this was not the case before and everything worked fine is super annoying.
Further, one added feature that should be toggle-able rather than default is the pop-up providing recording information on the shot. I do not want to have to close out a window every time I finish recording before I can start the next shot. It’s nice to be able to instantly open a preview, but it shouldn’t be so obtrusive that I can’t instantly start recording the next shot. Instead I have to press stop, film next shot, then start again. Just another unneeded tap in the workflow that could potentially prevent me from missing a shot.
One leftover feature that I’m glad carried over is the ability to designate which microphone is recording the audio. I always tend to use the “Front (Top)” option since I’m recording voice much of the time. However, I think it would be cool if the app were capable of recording multiple microphones and saving the files and separate audio tracks like other cameras do; then you could choose later from the mics you had selected. But I don’t know if this is possible with iPhone.
And, admittedly, I do like how the “Stabilize” toggle has been moved to be accessible via the main interface rather than requiring I enter settings to change it. I don’t remember the original placement of the “Torch” toggle but I like where its placement is as well. Very easy to access mid-recording.
Overall I’m really disappointed but perhaps these are fixable issues. If not, I’d like to seek a refund, especially if I find another app to be more suitable and containing the features I need and have incorporated into my workflow. However, the request refund feature from within the app doesn’t even seem to work? I’d really really like you to bring back the ability to switch lenses mid recording, even if it means putting an “Unstable” warning when activating the feature. Because I know I’m the past it would sometimes crash when you tried flipping the camera but it would work often enough that consideration of the crash was incorporated into my workflow.
EDIT: After playing around more I got the frame-guide to reappear. However, I had to go into Auto Mode then back into Pro. It wasn’t not instantly refreshing upon updating setting as it was supposed to. Or, the app just wasn’t loading it properly until leaving the mode, I don’t know. And it does seem that the desired resolution I had is now appearing again once 4:3 is selected, but it wasn’t before. So I think there might be issues with loading in the proper settings in the interface. Or I really don’t know why it works now. I swapped to the YouTube Studio preset first so maybe that’s part of it?

bait and switch update
the latest update removes all the “pro” functionality and makes it virtually useless, and they released a new paid app with the old interface and functionality. this kind of forced paid update should not be allowed in the app store.
trash update
completely broke the app with an update won’t even record now
Revamp ruined this app
Before the revamp I had all my settings set precisely as I needed. The revamp did not transfer my old settings, so I was forced to learn how to use this unintuitive update before I could start filming. The font is so tiny I can barely see what each setting is. The update has completely ruined every reason I used this app. I am now forced to use Long-Record mode (otherwise it cuts clips, which the old app never did). But this option forces you to use Apple’s basic camera processing - completely defeating the reason I bought this app! My front view camera mode will not stop flipping the image, no matter which option I choose for the “Mirror Front Camera” setting. I also can no longer capture wide angles using the front camera, as the previous version allowed. I can no longer adjust the temperature with a single preset click using the Auto setting - it can only be adjusted using the Pro setting, which is MUCH more complicated to use. I hate the revamp. They have ruined a very good app, and there are no replacements for what they’ve destroyed.

Response from developer
We really hope that the latest update has solved all the reported user issues in the last 2 months and v10.0.5 fixes all of your reported issues. If that is the case, please do consider revising your rating and review. Bad reviews really hurt developers who constantly try to listen to user feedback and improve the app. >>> We’re sorry v10 disrupted a carefully configured workflow. Please first update to MoviePro v10.0.2. It improves text sizing and legibility, and fixes an inverted Mirror Front Cam result affecting the iPhone 17 Pro. Please note that the front-camera preview remains mirrored, like Apple’s Camera; the Mirror Front Cam setting controls the saved video. If the saved file still ignores the setting, please contact support@moviepro.app with your iPhone model and a short sample. v10.0.2 also includes important fixes for recording start/stop, clip finalization and frame-drop handling. You should not have to use Long Record to prevent clips from being cut. Please retry with Long Record off; if a clip still ends early or loses its ending, send us the exact settings and expected/actual duration. We acknowledge that legacy settings could not all be restored automatically. Auto also still uses automatic white balance rather than providing the former one-tap temperature workflow, and we understand why that matters to you. If the front-camera field of view remains narrower after updating, please include your iPhone model so we can investigate that specific camera and format.
No sound
No sound after iOS update to 16 plus. Terrible , recent updates have not fixed the app. Seems messed up forever. I would not recommend.
4/13/23. After updating movie pro and the remote app, it no longer works.
8/11/2026 prolly the worst update I’ve ever seen on an app. Basically changed everything , appears removed the remote feature or is inoperable. Very bad update. Need a 50 page book just to understand all the changes.

Now it’s a little generic and lost features.
[Before Update]
Everything about the app was almost perfect already, from custom resolution usage (like 2560 x 1440, or a low 320 x 180) to any Frame Rate under 60 (or more above if you use 1080p) and even video bitrate control, including presets, this app was almost the best camera app in the iPhone ever. You could even switch the cameras while filming! The only issues were that it sometimes crashed, but its video did save in-app, and the worst part is, you cannot start the app fresh and use it without Internet. It’ll show “Loading products…” forever and not load until Wi-Fi or Cellular is used.
[After Update]
This app severely downgraded to any old generic camera app with the same features I can find everywhere else. No more custom resolution selections, no more custom frame rates, no more bitrate control, and no more presets. The camera lags so much and drops frames unless you enable Long-Record Mode, but then the preview (viewfinder) is all a black screen as the camera is unresponsive. I also can no longer switch the camera while recording at the same time.
