Crashes

On a 17 pro max, app is great I love it but I can’t even use the moment I click record it just crashes

Good app, but a few problems

I like using this app but something that annoys me is it keeps crashing all the time it’s a good app, but when I’m trying to run something to make it look like a VHS tape it will just crash at random points for some reason and that makes me kind of angry it’s a good app, but it just needs to fix on the crashes. It’s annoying.

Amazing VHS filters, but…

Absolutely LOVE Rarevision! Has helped me with a LOT of editing and is very realistic. However, there is one thing and it’s that it cannot remove the date and time. The closest it can get to doing ANYTHING with it is to spoof the recording date. there is no option to spoof the time aswell but that aside, Rarevision is amazing.

Old school recording in the modern era

This is hands-down the absolute best app for old-school recording in the modern era. The tracking lines and audio degradation look incredibly authentic!

I really want to set Rarevision as my default launch app for the iPhone’s hardware Camera Control button. Any chance you guys could implement Apple's LockedCameraCapture API in a future update so it shows up as an option in the iOS Camera Control settings? Launching straight into this retro viewfinder from a hardware click would be unbelievable!
