PLEAST NOTE: srRAW requires specific hardware found in the newest iPhones. Currently supported models include iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max as well as iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. srRAW captures the highest fidelity images and cinema of any iPhone camera with its custom "only RAW" cinema pipeline. Designed for filmmakers, creators, photographers and teams who shoot, edit and grade. It has "plug and grade" support with DaVinci Resolve using our Node Tree - transfer footage to your editing machine and start cutting, grading and designing looks in seconds. Images can be pulled from sequences for use in image editors including Affinity and Lightroom. It's easy enough for advanced beginners and powerful enough for twenty year pros to shoot beautiful images, kinetic bursts and organic cinema.  srRAW is a custom RAW cinema capture engine that encodes DNG images straight from the iPhone sensor and writes files to the industry standard CinemaDNG format, WAV stereo audio and a field H2365 proxy. No image processing or noise reduction is applied - captured images have the highest fidelity compared to video that has gone through processing at the time of production. When the latter occurs, it results in discarded data and bakes in noise reduction and exposure compensation all of which inhibit post-production options. srRAW on the other hand allows you to have absolute control over highlights and shadows at the time of production and because it shoots RAW cinema, allows for unmatched creativity at the time grading and designing looks.  Quite different from an iPhone video camera, srRAW has been designed to bring the filmmaking experience to iPhone. srRAW includes: • Custom developed CinemaDNG RAW format encoding, the open-source industry-standard. Edit, grade and design looks with DaVinci Resolve using our "Plug and Grade" node tree. • Uncompressed stereo WAV audio • H265 proxy file to easily check your recordings in the field • Up to 6 different resolutions from 1080p to 3k (iPhone dependent) • Transfer to industry-standard post-production software on your Mac/PC/Linux with USB-C or AirDrop • Full manual exposure with manual shutter and manual ISO • Custom auto-exposure mode designed for RAW cinema capture We made this for you! We hope you'll share your ideas and feedback so we can make srRAW even better. Thank you for your support!

You can’t even change the so-called settings in the app like proxy codec or stereo output. ### 1/5 — Can not use without subscription trial *2025-08-11* There is no free or free/watermarked version of this app. After installing, you will be forced to purchase a subscription to even try it. There is a 1 week free trial offered, but if you forget to cancel, you will be billed. Would be much less user/consumer hostile to have a free version that limits resolution or adds a watermark. Contrary to what the developer said in the response, the app starts by showing a dialog that cannot be dismissed. The user is given an option to sign up for a free trial or make a one/time purchase. There seems to be no way to dismiss this dialog and have a time-limited low resolution or watermarked option. And yes, I am reviewing the correct app. Response to the company’s second response: Wow, first I must be reviewing the wrong app and now I don’t know how the App Store works. Man, I must sure be dumb, huh? I wonder if that same 99.99% of your community thinks you should be spending your time sending rude and pedantic App Store responses to App Store reviews instead of improving the product. And hey, if a low resolution free version (like you apparently used to offer based on the review from 8/22/24 suggests) isn’t an option, there are also options like limiting record times to a few seconds so that someone can check back again in the future if they didn’t like it at first when downloading it. Whatever it is, your tone/responses make me feel that I made an excellent choice in not paying you anything. Keep up the good work! **Developer response:** Hi Eats Too Much Jam, please note: no one is "forced to purchase a subscription to even try it." I realize perhaps you are new to Apple's App Store so here's a quick overview. The only real way Apple allows indy developers to offer their full featured apps, for free and for a limited time, is with something called "free trials." The reason they're called "free trials" is two-fold: 1) they're free; 2) it's a trial before a subscription kicks in. Offering a sub-standard version - at terribly low resolutions, and then worse even still, with an ugly watermark, 24 times a second, would be something we have no plans on offering. First, 99.999% of our community wants us to focus to making RAW cinema at the highest resolutions, not the lowest. They love to look at big RAW images, zoom in, grade and design looks and view on big screens. Second, creating a separate capture engine, to fulfill your desire to have a watermark on all of your images, would actually be impossible. You see a watermark image is processed, a RAW image or image sequence is unprocessed. Thanks, srRAW Team ### 5/5 — Amazing Video Quality *2025-08-07, version 1.2* Great quality for Influencer and Travel Vlog videos. I can’t stop using it! ### 2/5 — No test *2025-08-07, version 1.2* Just pay. Pay for what?! ### 3/5 — Ok *2025-08-05, version 1.2* Need to figure out a way around Apple’s limitations to allow ssd recording. Sticking with Motioncam Pro on my android phone. ### 1/5 — Can not use without subscription trial *2025-08-05* There is no free or free/watermarked version of this app. After installing, you will be forced to purchase a subscription to even try it. There is a 1 week free trial offered, but if you forget to cancel, you will be billed. Would be much less user/consumer hostile to have a free version that limits resolution or adds a watermark.

Thanks, srRAW Team ### 1/5 — Broken *2025-08-01, version 1.2* Read an article on the web about how great this app is. Can’t get past the opening webpage. Save your time and look for something else ### 1/5 — Can not use without subscription trial *2025-07-31* There is no free or free/watermarked version of this app. After installing, you will be forced to purchase a subscription to even try it. There is a 1 week free trial offered, but if you forget to cancel, you will be billed. Would be much less user/consumer hostile to have a free version that limits resolution or adds a watermark. **Developer response:** Hi Eat Too Much Jam, hmmm, we’re not sure if you left your review for the correct app? Contrary to what you stated, no one is forced to purchase anything to try out srRAW Cinema Camera.
