The iOS App Store's first 8K video recording ever! Please read the expanded description before you buy this app. Enjoys recording 8K video on iOS! This is an 8K upscaled app. Also, you could use Apple ProRes capture on a standard iPhone without needing a Pro iPhone in the same app! However, native Apple Log/Log 2 limited to iPhone 15 Pro/17 Pro models or later Pro models, respectively. You might use software-based Apple Log/Log 2 on unsupported iPhones. For this reason, I decided to offer this app in 720p, 1080p, 1440p, and 4K in addition to 8K! This app gives you Apple ProRes 4444 XQ capture on an iPhone unlike other app(s) where requires M2 iPad Pro (not iPhone) or later Pro model for that capture ever! iPhone compatibility: Some of the settings may or may not be available depending on the iPhone model. Native Apple Log 1/2 (requires iPhone 15 Pro/17 Pro or later Pro models, respectively) available only in 720p, 1080p, 1440p, or 4K due to Apple limitations. Software-based version (all iPhones) available in 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 4K, or 8K. iPad is not supported.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: 8K Video Recording at every 8 days against Low's every 5 months. 8K Video Recording also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.5). Low's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $4.99). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
