Now it won’t things I would want in the future, not to sign in into your account. You could be free and the subscriptions are very expensive could you lower the price? ### 2/5 — Downfall *2026-05-15* Another case of downfall of a good app. Day by day... upgrade by upgrade it getting worst… I don’t know is it the grid or loosing interest by the developers. It was one of my favourite app… time to say good bye! ### 2/5 — Very slow on MacBook Pro (M2 Pro) *2026-03-04* Great & simple software, but it is very slow on macOS. Much faster on iPadOS and iOS. ### 4/5 — PDF Import! *2026-02-05, version 3.3.2* I LOVE Previs Pro. But, I don't use Final Draft, and exporting an .fdx file is just unnecessary for my workflow. HOWEVER, if you integrated with Scriptation for pdf import support (much like how they do for so many other apps), that would be a game changer! They can export scene data, down to props and characters with tagging, and if Previs Pro could read that data and populate the scene/character info, that would save me from doing everything manually! ### 3/5 — A promising app *2025-11-17, version 3.1.0* This app has some major strengths and one giant weakness for my personal workflow. The strengths: Great on an iPad, amazing camera emulation, fast and responsive interface for composing shots. It’s got a rich feature set for using AR on location to plan shots, it can copy your facial expression or body position onto characters, so much of it is brilliant and well thought out. The weakness: I have tried this app and before it I have tried a similar (if more complex) application called Frameforge 3D Studio. I won’t lie — there’s a lot to love about what they’re doing in Previs Studio but it has the same failure point (for my uses) as Frameforge and that’s this: If you want to use this to build a scene in a specific location or designed set, you will find yourself spending a LOT of time 3D modeling your set with a clunky tool set and seemingly no online tutorials. If you want, for instance, windows in a wall that look out on an exterior, that seems to not be in here. If you make a piece of furniture larger to fill up a specific footprint, it also makes it taller. Is there a way to turn that off? I don’t see it. I want to place and block actors in a definable space and I want to do it as quickly as possible without fussing with weird controls and gizmos to move stuff around. I want to be able to drop a window or a door (with hinge) anywhere in a wall and be able to mess with the proportions until I’m happy. I want to be able to quickly dictate the dimensions of objects and primitive shapes in an easy or obvious way. I’d love to outline a 2D set and have it turn it 3D, even if it’s in a cartoony style, and get to blocking. I have nextdoor to zero interest in using uncooperative tools to brute force my set into existence over a slow and headache-inducing process. Shot Designer only creates overheads, but the beauty of it is that one can build a set in minutes, not tens of minutes and not hours. I’m thinking about the scene, blocking, and actors. In short, I want a set that’s faster to build and customize. Maybe I’m just dreaming but I do think it’s telling that the set building tutorials Previs Pro has out there are using stock elements, not something designed. One of their example sets is from Seinfeld, but they don’t show you how to build that. I’m completely open to being wrong about my assessment here, but I’ve watched all the tutorials and I’ve jumped into using Previs Pro for a trial period and as much as I want it to be a go-to app for my work, I can’t get over the clunky set creation tools. If someone from the company can point me in a better direction I will happily take their advice and revise this review because I want this to be my go-to application. ### 2/5 — Clever app, let down by crashes and bugs and poor customer service *2025-10-10, version 3.0.1* This is a very clever app but sadly it is let down by too many crashes and bugs and really poor customer service. A feature will work one moment and then not the next and sometimes it will just crash for no reason. If you do contact them don’t expect a reply. Such a shame as this app would be a great tool…it doesnt warrant the high price because of these failings. ### 4/5 — 구독취소 *2025-09-25* 한달만쓰려고 결제했고 바로 구독취소 눌렀었는데 한달뒤인 오늘 또 결제됐어요. 구독 취소 환불해주세요!!너무 비싸다고 ### 3/5 — Trop cher *2025-08-27* Je viens d’essayer mon storyboard mais au bout de 5 scènes, il me demande de payer !!! ### 3/5 — Such a time saver, but *2025-06-17, version 2.8.1* I really had fun making storyboards with ease but I had problems importing models. The AI feature was good but I rarely gave me what I wanted. The app is so good but the pricing is way too much. $70nzd a month is overkill. The most I’ve spent on an app is $40nzd each for LumaFusion and ProCreate and that was to keep. No subs. App is 5 stars but price is a heavy toll. ### 5/5 — Add character Pose editing *2025-03-21* Character pose editing ### 5/5 — Amazing and fantastic *2025-03-10, version 2.7.5* Easy to use. So powerful. I use it on all my projects. Great customer support. Constant updates. ### 2/5 — Очень греется Мак! *2025-02-25* Компьютер горячий, как будто на нем что-то ультра тяжелое запустили. Даже iPhone так не греется. ### 5/5 — Game changer *2024-12-18, version 2.7.2* This app has proven to be a vital component in my pre-pro , previs pipeline. Will use this program for years to come from here on out. Thanks! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Truly terrible app *2026-08-15, version 3.5.6* You wont know until you pay how terrible the interface is. It’s not intuitive. I am an extremely experienced tech user and high level director. I would be a target for an app like this. It’s painfully bad. Clunky. Not intuitive. Poorly designed. Awful save your money. ### 1/5 — Perpetual License problems and support issues *2026-08-14, version 3.5.6* I liked this app in the trial but the process to try and buy it is broken and nobody has addressed this in a timely manner. After the trial ends you will not be given a choice of how to proceed, it will autobill you for a yearly subscription and then there is no way to switch to a perpetual License. It takes me to a link with an error. If you are working on a project and have an issue don't expect them to get back to you in a timely manner in this industry with tight deadlines. ### 1/5 — Anmeldung funktioniert nicht… *2026-07-27* Ich kann die App nicht benutzen ohne mich anzumelden und die Anmeldung funktioniert nicht. ### 1/5 — Crashes on startup *2026-07-17, version 3.5.6* The App Store says my iPad 6 should run this, my OS is up to date, but it crashes on start up. Shame, because this would have been perfect for my projects. ### 1/5 — File corruption and error *2025-12-28, version 3.2.0* Not only will Previs pro not let delete and imported project, it lost all my previous work. I am student and 119$ is a lot for me. I shoot tomorrow and have no new lighting diagrams thanks to previs. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Worst ever!! ### 1/5 — I don’t know why *2025-11-25, version 3.2.0* Why they raised the price from 399 to 499??? No BLACK FRIDAY DEAL ON THE LIFETIME FEE? ### 1/5 — Cool features, not worth a forever subscription *2025-06-02, version 2.8.1* I don’t subscribe to anything before getting a legit opportunity to try it. These guys twist your arm into subscribing before even getting close to exploring the app. No app is worthy of that kind of blind trust. I have Toon Boom. I don’t need another subscription. I just needed something simple and cheap for the quick and dirty previz tasks, and this isn’t it. A gallery photo app/ quick sketch tool with good note-taking features would be enough. Even with all that, I’d have given it a chance if it didn’t try to bait me into a subscription without a really open-ended trial first. ### 1/5 — Missing some major basic options *2024-08-21* 1. In 3d view there is x, y, z axis for transform tool. Frustrating to place an item to a Precise location. Very basic option 2. In touch up mode there is no resizing option for the brush and erase tool. Very basic option 3. In post production mode , there is no resizing resizing option for the brush and erase tool. Very basic option 4.after importing image , in 2d mode it show the image , y don’t u guys make as a thick line in 2d mode, it is much more easy to place images in 2d mode. Very confusing while placing the image from 2d mode. 5. It creates a unwanted occlusion shadow in the corner of the walls. As asked for the solution for occlusion shadow no reply from any one. Best to work in blender 6. U can’t manually pose it ### 1/5 — Ausrüstung nicht konfigurierbar *2024-07-24* Alles ganz nett, aber: Es gibt nur wenige zur Planung einsetzbare Kameras und Objektive . Nutzen Sie andere Ausrüstung, können sie Previs Pro vergessen. Man kann abweichende Ausrüstung nicht selbst definieren. Die Entwickler nehmen Konfigurationswünsche gerne entgegen. Das war es dann aber auch. Sie ändern nichts. Rausgeworfenes Geld. Viel rausgeworfenes Geld. ### 1/5 — Charged for two month of no use; no refund given. *2024-06-26, version 2.6.5* The developers have poor customer service, as I was charged $80 for two months that I didn’t even know I was subscribed to. No refund despite having not used the app at all. Very uncool, wouldn’t buy anything from them in the future. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing app *2026-08-22, version 3.5.6* Ignore some of the negative posters here. I have been using this app for film previs for a couple of years now and it keeps on improving. It’s very intuitive and easy to work with and the learning curve isn’t steep at all. The creators are also very responsive to emails and feature requests or other. I love this app, I can’t do without and I look forward to how much better it will become still! ### 5/5 — Why is sign in now required for some features? *2026-06-15, version 3.5.0* Some recent update added sign in to apple for features that didn’t previously need that. Why? Where was that noted on the update? Why is apple sign in needed for a timeline? OLD review: Finally Animatics! Animatics in v3 is a solid update. Easy enough to make adjustments and fine-tune. Would love to see more features in the animatic part (keyframe smoothing, walk animations…) and it would be great if there was the option for multiple cameras in one setup (like camera A, cam B) that would show not only on the storyboard at the same time, but also show the first and last keyframe in the storyboard printout as well. Great update and making 2.5 free is huge. ### 5/5 — Had this great app since 2022 and it’s consistently improved every year *2026-05-28, version 3.4.0* I bought this app in 2022 and was encouraged at the time by the constant development and high number of updates. I find it intuitive to use and the use of the iPad platform offers great advantages over other desktop based tools like Frame Forge that I’d already tried. The main two advantages are; touch control which just works so well for 3D movement compared to a mouse and AR mode using the iPad camera. This AR mode allows you to move around in live 3D space and take photos or videos with your characters composited with real world backgrounds. I don’t know any other tool which does this so smoothly on location. When running on an IPad Pro as the company recommends I never experienced the crashing mentioned in other reviews and now 4 years later after multiple quality updates the software still runs smoothly on that 2021 iPad Pro. I felt compelled to write this review after seeing some very out of date reviews mentioning crashing and feature requests that I know have since been met. Their app update list gives you a very good idea how many strong features have been added over the 5 or so years of the product. Recently I’ve started using it to create 3D storyboard frames as references for my occasional AI filmaking. This way you can the exact framing you want in Previs Pro and use that to ‘prompt’ the newest AI ‘Omni’ models like Seedance and Kling much better than text alone. A very strong tool for traditional filmmakers and AI filmmakers alike. ### 5/5 — 手机跟电脑可以互通数据吗，如果可以该怎么操作？ *2026-05-20* 手机跟电脑可以互通数据吗，如果可以该怎么操作？ ### 5/5 — 让镜头瞬间简单了 *2026-04-16* 一直在用这个软件，解决了拍摄前需要分镜的问题。 ### 5/5 — Замечательное приложение! *2025-10-09* После обновления все стало еще удобнее и появились функции анимации, которых так не хватало раньше. Теперь можно выводить видео сразу же отсюда и не прибегать к Final Cut или Davinci ### 5/5 — V3 is solid *2025-09-17* Finally Animatics! Animatics in v3 is a solid update. Easy enough to make adjustments and fine-tune. Would love to see more features in the animatic part (keyframe smoothing, walk animations…) and it would be great if there was the option for multiple cameras in one setup (like camera A, cam B) that would show not only on the storyboard at the same time, but also show the first and last keyframe in the storyboard printout as well. Great update and making 2.5 free is huge. ### 5/5 — Незаменима на препродакшне *2025-07-11* Отличная прога, доступна на айфоне, айпэде и маке Плюсы использования на айфоне - возможность выстраивать сцену в AR! Это действительно очень помогает придумать движение и ракурсы в сцене, без актеров в кадре ### 5/5 — 진짜 개쩜 *2025-06-17* 킹성비 콘티 쌉가능 이만한거 없다 ### 5/5 — Such a time saver!!!! *2025-03-29, version 2.7.5* As an artist, u find this way faster than drawing. Though, I love bring tactile but when it calls for speed, this is the ticket. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
