### 5/5 — Best out there

*2024-09-03, version 4.11.1*

Even with its imperfections, ShotPro is still by far the most comprehensive, versatile all-in-one application for animation, pre-visualisation and performance capture available on the iPhone.

### 5/5 — love this app

*2024-08-18*

i love this app,  but can you give the ios version its own library for assets and for import/export. in the way where i can use my phone storage and never have a problem when starting new scenes. also import/export audio library, basically a library folder. as of now there isn't even an import button for models and the import button for audio doesn't work.

### 5/5 — love you guys, love you guys, love john scott

*2024-08-12*

i love the john scott showcase on the website, but can you give the ios version its own library for assets and for import export. the way where i can use my phone storage and never have a problem when starting new scenes.

### 5/5 — Please Keep Developing This

*2024-07-21*

I love this program and I’m surprised that there is nothing else like it. There are more complex and expensive programs, but this is PERFECT for sketching out ideas. I only wish that they would continue to develop it. They have a subscription desktop version with more features, but it hasn’t updated in years as well. This company is sitting on gold and doesn’t seem to realize it.

### 1/5 — Promising software failed by lack of updates

*2024-05-14, version 4.11.1*

It’s so very disappointing that the developers decided to stop updating this software. Having it on set on an iPad was such a huge bonus but no updates in years. The M4 iPad and an updated version of this software would be formidable. Developers, if you’re reading this please reconsider and bring it back to the iPad it would do wonders with an iPad Pro.

### 5/5 — absolutely love it i’m gunna get the pc version too

*2024-01-13*

i love this app i will be using it alot. needs all the expansions for the ios version, also needs the obj. shop but i will be using this a bunch

### 4/5 — Powerful App, Weak Development

*2023-12-02, version 4.11.1*

This studio was ahead of its time, facing resistance in an underdeveloped App Store market. Now, with AI and VR gaining momentum, and many drawn to 3D prototyping, conceptualizing and ideation..  it's disappointing they didn't evolve their powerful, yet outdated app.

The app boasts an impressive renderer but falls short on essential modern features, leaving space for competitors like Previz Pro & Naomi Animation. 

Despite past promises of a new app on the way and volumetric haze (they responded to my email back in 2021 I think), it seems they've given up.

Possibly due to negative feedback or most likely… which is what I think: This team lacks know how on utilizing marketing on social media. (Youtube, Twitter, Insta, FB, Tik Tok.. etc) 

Their competitors Previz Pro & Naomi Animation are doing wonders in social marketing and reaping the rewards (yet their product is INFERIOR compared to Shotpro) but they know how to market.. and that’s what matters, so revenue lands in their pockets. While Shotpro sits here weak. 

However, if Shotpro ever decides to get out of their low self esteem state and finally be the pro it was meant to be… as a professional user of this app, I highly suggest the following modernizing updates:

- Full-body posing & animation control for all humanoids.
- Complete customization of all 3D assets. (Not just scaling)
- Direct iCloud importing for music, animations, assets, and SFX.
- Expanded 3D asset (GLB, FBX) and audio (MP4, WAV) file support.
- Manual masking using background asset (found in the camera & light section) so we can mask objects within the viewport.
- Transparency sliders for all elements.
- Video and GIF panels for in-scene displays.
- Basic VFX, like blurring.

A comeback with these features would be a massive boost for the pro users of this app (I may be the only imbecile that is a pro user of this app).

### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2023-02-23*

I have been trying to setup simple shot with custom audio and background the app is not even functioning properly. Is development team doing any changes. I have paid 44$ which worth 0$

### 5/5 — The best

*2023-02-02, version 4.11.1*

This has all the bells and whistles so here is more stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 3/5 — Powerful but sadly, not supported

*2022-04-29, version 4.11.1*

I think there must be only two people supporting this app. Which is an amazing feat in itself.

Unfortunately, I cannot give this app five stars —> AS BAD AS I WANT TO. 

For the last year…

I have used ShotPro everyday, I am a vr game designer. 

I use ShotPro to create my vision and then import it into a design document using the Craft iOS app, Craft is like Notion, (but catered more towards creators) Craft allows me to mix text, gifs, videos into a document, which our team of developers and 3D artists then gets to see. 

I use ShotPro to create animated visualizations, of my designs. I have over 1000 documents with visualizations & animations, I created all in ShotPro. 

Therefore it hurts me, to give such an amazing app 3 stars. Which is unfortunate- the potential for ShotPro is galaxies & universes. 

However, the areas that lack, greatly decreases my productivity and prevents me at times from clearly presenting my vision. 

LACKS THE FOLLOWING: (which I would gladly pay for as dlc)

• The graphical assets we purchase in this app, cannot be modified in specific ways for our unique creations, maybe I just want to extend one arm (make it longer), but make the other arm short. All you can do is scale an entire asset, but no specific modifications can be made. Most of these assets are free maximo assets, I don’t understand why not allow us to tamper with the geometry when we pay for them, in ShotPro to unlock them. This alone highly diminishes the usage of graphical assets.

• Cannot save key frames and label them for later use 

• Cannot import 3D assets, music or sound effects from iCloud. They force you to use dropbox,  but doesn’t work 

• Only accepts wav file not mp3.. mp4.. etc

• Cannot apply transparency to your 3D graphical assets via a transparent slider (can’t ghost an object or make faded)

• No letter, symbol & number primitives (no way of adding text in the viewport) can only use their camera screen text feature 

• No way of posing palm of hands, feet, fingers

• Does not save your imported images, you have to keep importing them with every project that intends to use it. 

Because of these things, I have started taking courses in Daz3D and Blender to get a level of visualizations, I cannot achieve here.
