### 2/5 — Playback issue

*2025-11-15, version 4.2.4*

So it seems good if I record at 60FPS but when I watch the video it’s very glitchy.

### 4/5 — Been great for 2 years, but now…

*2025-11-07, version 4.2.3*

I have LOVED this app for 2 years+, but suddenly the beauty filter has gone awry and can’t be fixed. I’ve reported the problem multiple times and have not had any updates. I love this app. I just want it fixed!😭

### 4/5 — Add zoom feature in potreit mode whose iphone is not pro series please 🥺🙏🙏

*2025-08-18, version 4.2.2*

Please add the zoom feature in portrait mode for iphones that don't have telephoto, because in auto zoom mode there is why in portrait mode it is not there, well please do digital zoom developer it's okay :,)

### 3/5 — 오류만 안나면 쓰고싶은데

*2025-07-14*

앱 실행이 안되고 멈추거나 끊기니 아쉽네요. 오류만 해결해줘도 저는 사용할 의향이 200퍼 있는데 …

### 4/5 — when we save the video portrait zoom he x dk

*2025-05-30, version 4.2.2*

I am satisfied with this application... but I would like to request that this application be updated so that when we save the video, the zoom will remain.

### 3/5 — Bad

*2025-03-20, version 4.2.2*

This app is cool but I thought I would be able to pause it so I can do stuff and add music but I guess I was wrong I rate this a 2 stars

### 5/5 — Protake update

*2025-02-23*

This is the perfect app for real time directional camera flop action. That’s first and foremost. did I mention it’s real time? It took me years to find this.  an app that you can record and then flip at the same time. Pro take definitely boasts in its high quality resolution with sound/audio and optional,…optional Microphone imput..options. ..(For instance, I have a pair of lavaliere microphones and a lightning receiver purchased from Amaz…yeah and they seamlessly connect to the interface.. )ZOOM capabilities are great as well.. So many options and the best of qualities!

### 3/5 — 濾鏡可以不要每次都重置嗎

*2025-01-21, version 4.2.2*

以前會保留上一次拍攝資訊（濾鏡），但現在每次再進入軟體都會回到濾鏡初設。

### 2/5 — Lost potential

*2025-01-17, version 4.2.2*

Shame this app has lots of potential but very sparse updates and was signed out and couldn’t sign back in so won’t be renewing. I’m happy to pay for a good camera app but don’t like getting burned..

### 1/5 — Was great, now records 4K60 at 35fps

*2025-04-17*

This was a great app and was great for pro filming at 4K60 for a few years, but in the last month or so I can’t record 4K60 on the same phone as it seems to record randomly between 35-55 fps? Might be a bug but no other camera app does it.

the entire video is choppy & laggy. i’m talking 2006 HP laptop laggy. what a waste.

### 1/5 — Solicitei o reembolso porque está travando no meu iPhone 8 Plus

*2024-11-11*

O App é bom mas no iPhone 8 Plus o app começa a travar nas gravações por conta do aquecimento do aparelho, tentei de todas as formas de configuração até mesmo sem gravar em log ele travar , após 4 minutos de gravação o iPhone esquenta e o vídeo começa a ficar lento e travando durante a gravação, tentei também usar uma gravação com tudo no menos é mesmo assimilar trava , tentei também gravar sem log ativado, coloquei em 16 mpbs, e nem usei o modo pro é mesmo assim travou , fiz o teste com a câmera nativa do iPhone e gravei em 4K a 24 quadros e não travou então tive a conclusão que o app não consegue ter desempenho quando o aquecimento do processamento do aparelho começa a esquentar
