FIX IT PLEASE

I have to second that, used the app for years now when the remote connects i can make changes in the setting but i cannot start recording, it defeats the purpose
of a remote entirely. PLEASE FIX IT!!

Doesn’t work

As per the title, the app simply does not work. It connects to my iPhone, but none of the actual features work. The record button doesn’t work. The focus and light reticles don’t work. Completely pointless app.

Scam

I can’t support a company that secretly rips off their customers. I paid for remote and suddenly it’s completely gone. I will report the actions for fraudulent actions

I paid for the app, I paid for the remote

I paid for both the app and remote. Now I can no longer use the remote unless I pay for a subscription. Total ripoff, total scam. Will never support.

App cant detect my ipad m1

Been trying to Connect my iPad remotely to filmic app on my iPhone 13 Pro max. However, it keeps showing no device detected or found. Big waste of time .

Simple And Functional, But

It is locked in the horizontal orientation, so vertical video is displayed within a massive letterbox. Please add vertical orientation support!!

Doesn’t detect iPhone for Remote Control

Disappointed with the updates.

Developer is scammer

Purchased V6 before August 2022. Haven’t used app recently.

Creator disabled original app. When I download legacy version of app it shows a message that I can access the legacy version, under SETTINGS -> INFO of the new V7 app. There is no DOWNLOAD LEGACY APP option under INFO.

Apple should police abusive scams like this.

I don’t need a subscription for an app that I rarely use.

Read the user agreement. It is scary!

Not useful

Didn’t like the app it’s laggy and not useful wish I could refund it i downloaded and paid for it to see what it does literally took 5 mins to see It wasn’t useful.

Useless

Have no idea if it’s any good or not, because I can’t get it to open or synch my iPhone to my iPad.

Great for controlling hard to reach B camera

Used this for controlling an iPhone 14 placed on a mic stand above a piano keyboard. Able to start and end record function and monitor operation for over an hour. App was running on an iPad Pro 12 inch (2019). Sure beats climbing up on a ladder.
Yes there is a lag on the iPad monitor but the iPhone video is pristine. Even with lag I can see pianist’s hands and confirm a good result. Very pleased.

Does not work

I would like my money back !
How can you sale something that does not work scam

How do I get my money back!

Not worth it

Pay Again? I dont think so

I paid for this app a year ago, even $15 for the remote app, now they go to a monthly subscription. What a rip off, they should be ashamed

Subscription model bait and switch

On the companion app a paid for pro app was swirched to a subscription and the paid for pro app will no longer receive feature updates…rendering this app useless.

Hidden cost to use

This app costs $9.99 and won’t work for mirroring iOS devices unless you buy Filmic Pro as well. The price for Filmic Pro is $2.99 PER WEEK, but that’s not shown until you’ve installed that app.

Lag makes this unusable

Wish there was a way to at least downgrade the video so it wasn’t so laggy and just let you zoom etc. Sadly, it’s just awful as is.

What is going on?! Update, fix, PLEASE!

I use FiLMiC Pro a lot for work, which I have on my iPhone 11. Ideally I should be able to sit down away from the tripod with my iPad and use the filmic Pro remote app to control the camera settings. That is not the case. And has not never been the case since I’ve used this app. Filmic Pro itself is incredible, and to have this added functionality feels necessary for the guerilla filmmaker, a audition specialist.

Filmic Pro please, I’m begging you, please fix this app. We need it.You need it, do you know how many people are going to be crediting you and your gear for being able to make their film or project because of this app?

The list of bugs is endless, and I’m not going to do that here, but I’ve worked around them so much that it’s like dealing with an abusive family member now. Please, this is an intervention.

Without Filmic Pro, this APP doesn’t work at all.

Please make it clear, I want to get my money back

Not a remote- just a monitor

To call this a remote implies that you can control filmic remotely. While you kinda can, its too laggy to be of any real use that way. I hoped upgrading my ipad and iphone would have fixed this, but, no, its just a crappy app.
