I was expecting to be able to control the exposure more.. add a scale/widget we can move around not only the green reticle you give us ### 2/5 — Can’t figure it out. *2018-01-29* It won’t switch to slow mo when I hold the button, when I go and watch it. ### 2/5 — Actual Unbiased, Unemotional, Ulterior-Motive Free Review *2014-11-25, version 1.8* This is a 2.0 stars level app. It records mediocre videos, has one unique feature (On the fly one touch fps boost to device maximum), & a standard feature (Tap/toggle to separate or lock focus + exposure settings) that never works. Ever. So yes, there are at least a couple of significantly better slo-mo video apps in the App Store. ### 4/5 — Needs features/smooth slo-mo *2014-11-04, version 1.8* This app does tremendous slow motion editing... But: there's no editing. You have to hold a button WHILE RECORDING to input slow motion. Needs: -Editing the timing of slow motion -Import videos from camera roll If the above items were included, this app highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Great control, simple interface *2014-10-07, version 1.6* This app gives you great control over what parts of a video you want in real time, so you can have a simple mixed realtime + slow video without even trying. ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2014-07-28* Brilliant app! Works just like the iPhone 5s slow mo! Good effort! ### 4/5 — Very decent app. *2014-07-09* On the whole it's very good at what it does. I think the saving bar could be more prominent and the exposure/focus lock could be clearer (red maybe). I would like to be able to lock the slow motion button to avoid camera shake but it's just a small niggle. Overall a good app the 5s was made for. ### 4/5 — Could be better. *2014-07-04, version 1.3* I like it for how easy it is to use. I'm loving the simplicity of the app. Although, I think the next upgrade should include different slow motion settings. Currently, it's not slow enough at all. ### 5/5 — Great simple app *2014-07-04* Great little app very simple baybe would like it to go a little bit slower 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍 ### 5/5 — Blown away *2014-06-11, version 1.2* When i first went looking for a slow motion camera all I knew about was slow pro. When I got slow pro it was very choppy and dident allow u to save to camera roll. And I took a chance with this app and it is GREAT! It is so SMOOTH and u get to save it to camera roll!!! ### 3/5 — Badly needs a update!!! *2014-06-07* Love this app but needs an update, it needs to have a front camera setting and also you shouldn't have to hold the snail for slow motion, you should just click it and then click it again to stop it down. It would also be cool if you could pick different speed settings instead of just the one, maybe even a fast forward setting. Definitely not worth the money I paid for as there's only a back camera and one speded. Very disappointed. Would not recommend it unless there's an update!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome and funny *2014-05-23, version 1.2* I have never laughed so hard in my life, my l voice sounds so funny! Works great no problems! Now I want to record someone drumming! Awesome app! You should get It! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App will not work, do not buy it. *2016-12-08* This app will not work at all. What a waste of time and money. ### 1/5 — LAME *2015-07-25, version 1.8* I SPENT MONEY ON THIS AND ITS A BLACK SCREEN!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — WORST APP EVER *2015-06-12, version 1.8* The slo mo DIDNT EVEN WORK! THE APP JUST TOOK UP MY SPACE AND MY MONEY!😡😭😭😫😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Slo mo does not work *2015-05-18, version 1.8* People - they have many great aps - their painting ap is totally amazing. But the slo mo - it has to be banned from the Ap Store. ### 1/5 — IGNORANT CONTROLS *2015-02-06, version 1.8* You have to hold the slow motion button the entire time you want recorded in slow motion. What a really really really stupid idea. ### 1/5 — ehh *2015-02-05, version 1.8* it's not recording in slow mo like it should and I just paid $2. very disappointed ### 1/5 — Doesn't save video just crashes *2014-11-10, version 1.8* Not a good app!! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2014-09-17* Not sure what the other review was talking about... Had to check multiple times to see if the slow-motion feature was actually working, turns out it was, only it doesnt slow your video down where it looks like slow motion.. It does slow it down, but not enough to even tell. Seen way better, dont waste your money like I just did. ### 1/5 — doesn't work *2014-04-20* I have a 5c and this doesn't even work ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2014-03-08* This should be removed. It doesn't do half if what it says. No instructions nothing it's just ripped everyone off. Those early reviews are obviously a sham by the creator. It also shows a picture of the iPhone 5s slow mo to drag you in £1.49 wasted I want my money back. Apple do something about this !!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — SlowCam *2017-01-07* Really good slow motion without warping and it's smooth.
