I lost all the footage. ### 1/5 — Not worth the money *2019-06-05* My husband bought me the stabilizer and it says this “SMOVE is the only smartphone stabilizer that doubles as a charger for your phone of any size, with pro features.” Well it does not have an iPhone adapter where you can plug your iPhone in and charge it. So in my opinion they should not advertise this or they should specify that does not have an iPhone adapter for charging. I don’t really see the point in spending money on a device like this when I have an iPhone. The device itself is heavy and chunky and if I wanted to take a video while placing it down I wouldn’t be able to because it does not come with a remote. So the Bluetooth adapter is semi pointless without a remote. ### 5/5 — Seems legit to me! *2019-04-07, version 1.0.4* I just got my Smove today after about a 2 year wait but it's here and seems well built.. Downloaded the app which connected immediately and all works fine. That actual stabilisation is about a 8 out of 10 but it is alot better than handheld so all in all I'm very happy. ### 5/5 — REVISED: App DOES work on iPhone X / IOS 11.4 *2018-06-11* I was using the wrong app! I should have been using “Smove Mobile” instead of “Smove”. Smove Mobile works great. So, I will leave my original review out here and update the star rating from 1 to 5. This is what happens when you use the wrong app: “They have not updated this app in over a year. When I push the Smove Record button, the volume level on my phone increases - it doesn’t activate recording. The Zoom slider button does nothing. The Smove hardware looks pretty great, but the app functionality is non-existent. Tech Support has been unresponsive thus far.” ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2018-06-01, version 1.0.4* I have just bought the SMOVE MOBILE stabiliser today, it seemed very well done until I started trying to use the app. This app has a problem and doesn’t detect the Bluetooth pairing. Because of this, I cannot use the features that are advertised on the SMOVE website and therefore the stabiliser is useless. Please update this app straight away or I may have to ask for an immediate refund. ### 1/5 — Poor Design *2018-05-09, version 1.0.4* This is quite a poorly designed app for the SMOVE Mobile Gimbal. It automatically changes the screen brightness settings to the highest settings then leaves it there. There is very few information for knowing what settings have been added for the photo and video (eg. The resolution and frame rate). Better off downloading the other one called “SMOVE MOBILE”. Don’t get this one! ### 2/5 — Skewed horizon line *2018-04-23* I had 2 of my clients buy the Smove device and in both cases we could not perfectly balance the iphone horizontally. The app doesn't correct the skew so you are left with vids that require post-processing work. Not optimum. ### 3/5 — Works - just *2018-01-26, version 1.0.4* Works and supports the features of the gimbal. But lack of updates - and iPhone X compatibility are a concern. ### 5/5 — Easy *2017-12-03* Super easy to use! I don’t understand why this app has so many bad reviews. I have never had one problem using it! I love my smove video! ### 5/5 — Offers A Lot of Features *2017-12-03* The SMOVE is a great 2-axis Stabilizer and Powerbank. When you add this App to the mix, you get a powerful set up. Facial recognition/tracking allows you to set it up on a tripod and do a presentation and the camera will stay on you. Definitely give it a 5 Star! ## Frequently asked questions about Smove App ### What devices is the Smove App compatible with? The Smove App is designed for use with iPhones and iPods.
