Functional.... Needs a how to section
*Update* After using the app for 2 weeks, I like using it, still debating if it's worth paying a subscription especially when I don't really see what your paying extra for on top of just purchasing the app, there's no cloud storage or anything except use of your iPhone camera.... Time will tell
It's a good app, it's simple enough to use but can use a little explanation on settings & features. I also don't see what you're subscribing to, I'd gladly buy the app because it works as advertised but what am I paying yearly for??
Response from developer
Thank you for the honest feedback — both points are fair. A short tutorial covering settings is something we are building toward; your review just moved it up the list. On what you're paying for: continued access to the app itself. The 30-day trial gives you every feature, and after that, an annual or monthly subscription is required.

Thank you for using UpTakes at your grandson's baseball games — that's exactly who we built this for, and I'm sorry it stopped opening for you. Please make sure you are using the latest version. If you navigate to UpTakes on the App Store and an update is available, try that first. If that does not resolve the issue, it is most likely tied to your specific device. If you could email info@uptakes.app with your phone model, I'll dig in and push a patch as fast as I can. I really appreciate you taking the time to flag this.

App is great!
The only slight issues I have is in dark mode it’s very hard to see the exit button in the settings and not sure why the first couple frames are blurry.
For wishlist, if saving the video could be done in the background that would be great to get back to recording quicker and maybe even a send to app (like instagram) for quicker highlight posting. Last wish the zoom quick buttons could be customized
Edit: I have been using this app for many months now, and it’s even more amazing now than when I wrote my original review. The developer has made fantastic updates and the app runs very smooth and always works. This has saved my hours and hours. I have recommended it to every parent I can and will continue to do so.

Thank you Vince3754! Since your review, we've completely rebuilt UpTakes from the ground up — it's now built directly for iPhone using Apple's own camera and sensor technology, which means faster performance, a better camera, and smoother gesture controls. Your early feedback helped shape what UpTakes has become today.
Love love love
