coulda been a contender…. i teach video production and post at the university level. because of the pandemic closures of facilities at school I was recommending FilmicPro as a solution to those who didn’t own a camera. I have been shooting with Filmic for a while and have loved it in the past despite some consistent bugs with saving files. now these bugs have gotten worse where on a normal shoot I can expect 4 out of 5 footage clips i record to be completely corrupted. Yesterday foe instance out of 9 clips only one works. when I check the files with a video repair app it shows random blocks in the clip where not saved at all. if this was a one off so be it, but it is not and even after following most recommended Filmic inc settings on my iPhone 11pro, i get the same results. this shows me this company is not ready for pro usage, and is definitely not safe ro use in critical moments…. please passs it over until they fix the bugs

Almost…. I was a Legacy user for a few years. I have no problem with the subscription model but I really wish that the UI layout was more closely arranged like the app that made it a legend. The new quality and features in the V7 are awesome. Unfortunately a lot of us use manual controls for both iso/LV and Zoom simultaneously. The zoom slider rocker on the right hand side is hard to control at the exact zoom speed desired. If in a future update you guys could make it possible to switch the manual focus over to a manual zoom wheel (reticle) so we could once again have a manual iso on the left and a manual zoom reticle on the right simultaneously, lots of Legacy users would likely come back, especially if they’re not taking advantage of the loyalty discounts you were cool enough to honor. I know I and my classroom would anyway. In some recording situations where manual controls are desired, it’s currently tricky to switch the left QAM from LV to Zoom in the landscape position when beforehand we could tap auto zoom (at preset speed) then quickly control iso as it zooms. Although your auto iso is really awesome, it doesn’t always automatically adjust to the desired exposure level we want. Anyhow, your technology is very impressive and the result’s beat everything else out there. All of this combined with the classic layout would probably send ratings up even higher. Nice work Fimiic! 👍

Echo sentiments of upset customers. I’m a RISD film, filmmaker and animation artist. I have pro equip that I love and use this for capturing frames I want to go back to. The stabilizing feature is nice. However, developers, you developed a piece of software that works. It doesn’t need to be updated. It works well. If you want to release bug fox updates great. Apple does it regularly and does t charge their loyal customers a few for being loyal. If you want to develop a new app with new features to draw a more professional audience then build a new app and charge new customers a rate for building your software. Babbages, computer center, and dozens of other software distributors did this for decades from the early 80’s and charged customers once. You bought it, took it home, installed it, and every now and then you could download firmware updates. You’re revenue comes from reaching new customers. Not pillaging customers who’ve already paid for your product. This is absolutely disgusting. And a terrible business model. People cannot afford dozens of subscriptions every month. I’m done. Not paying for your new software and neither should anyone else.

Not a good experience for those amateurs that are getting it right now.. I was told by many reputable YouTuber’s for years that Filmic was it and that no other app stood a chance. I did not get it early on because I wanted to develop this passion towards cinematography and videography even more. I also wanted to learn more about filming before investing even a dime. What I truly loved about this app was that it was a one-time purchase business model so when I was ready to move out of Apple’s simple Camera app, that I will just pay one time and if I want certain kits then I would just pay one fee for them. Instead, you guys decided to switch to a business model for I am sure some good reason or a bad reason such as greed. Nonetheless, you guys should have considered that maybe innovation might be the problem. Maybe if you innovated and told new customers and advertise to them about how beneficial it would be to purchase your app then you would be able to stick with your one-time purchase business model. Instead, you guys decided to switch to a subscription-based business model, and leave. Everyone who has already paid for this service left out and having to pay a subscription. If they want any new features granted, I am not someone who has bought this app yet, but was about to many months ago until I learned about you guys switching to a new business model.

Underhanded nonsense. I’ve always been a fan of this app. I purchased it and the cinematographer’s pack and felt it was a good value. But this update just got pushed into my device and now I find myself in a position of having a hobbled app (cannot export captured video to camera roll or anywhere else) or having to fork up a *weekly* or annual fee. There was some language on startup about always having access to a legacy version but I didn’t digest it because I couldn’t imagine what I was getting into on what I assumed was a routine update of my app. I hope I’ll be able to find it on their website. Anyway, foisting a subscription model this way (instead of forking a new app) is really poor form and I expect better from them. And I’m sorry but not every app is appropriate for a subscription. As a community of users we need to push back against this nonsense. Yes, please, charge for your app. Charge a premium if that’s what you need to do to keep updating and supporting the app. But this is dumb.

Indie Filmmaker Must Have App!. I’ve been using filmicpro for years (back when the app was $1.99 and iPhone 4’s were all the rage!). I was excited about the idea of iPhone filmmaking then and made a number of projects for the iPhone film festival circuit. Then I stepped away from iPhone filmmaking to focus on other indie films with a variety of camera types (not mobile phone related.). After a few years, I came back to this app and iPhone filmmaking because I love the flexibility of it. I purchased the new $9.99 additional feature with LOG as a setting option and I have to say, I am SO SO pleased to see FilMIC pro has continued to update their app and make iPhone filmmaking more of a legitimate and credible option for the independent filmmaker! The newest features with adjusting the ISO, focus pull, light balance, etc is really awesome! With a few options in lens attachments in addition to this app I really love how versatile it is becoming. It’s still not going to give you the performance of a DSLR or studio level camera, but it is definitely a viable option for filmmakers now! And I love it!

Classic Bait&Switch to Subscription. I bought & used FilmicPro for years and loved the control it gave (especially over white balance). However, I noticed something was up the last few months as the app requires internet access to work. Why would it need to talk to their servers before I film? Because they switched to a subscription model. At first glance the new interface is ugly and clunky. But the bottom line is that $2.99 per week (!!!) is way too expensive for an app I use occasionally as a hobbyist. So I’m bailing and will just use the v6 (“legacy”) app until they stop supporting it and it stops working on newer iOS versions (I give it two years max). Honestly, I’d have given a 3-star review but they way they are forcing you to download the new version, skip the subscription, go into the settings, and THEN download the old version for it to work is janky. Only then can you delete the new version. Not cool. 1 Star.

The end of this app. Doesn’t matter what new features you guys add. The fact that there’s at least 5 apps that are almost up to par to this one and cost less than what this app cost before this scam subscription model , shows the lack of consumer interest. It’s all greed from every angle, I get the recurrent revenue by making this a Netflix but that’s just the filmic pro name at this point , take adobe as an example , is a reason why there’s massive shifts away to davinci, canva and fcp Ect. And are becoming the go to softwares to do things. This app is made for certain geographic and not everyone films religiously on their phones so they don’t care to just move on to an alternative app. This app didn’t update frequently to justify the sub prices. The only honest reason you guys are still around is because Apple doesn’t decide to give their costumers manual control of their camera and The alternative apps right now are only somewhat lack is 3rd party support like gimbal and accessories capabilities, once they partner with companies like dji , zhiyun and others and offer support is pretty much over for you guys . I give it a year or two at most because some people probably subscribed for a year, by then the alternatives will be caught up and the year subs will see it isn’t worth to keep subscribing once the other catch up by then. Good riddance and good luck. Doom of a champ because of greed

Fascinating. I just downloaded this app to check it out. Hadn’t activated the trial and was just playing with 240fps in settings, when suddenly my iPhone 14 Pro Max powered off. The app didn’t crash, my phone completely powered off. I’m not a real (regular) user so initially I thought the screen was just dark or I tapped the wrong setting. It took a solid minute for me to figure out it had powered off. But my iPhone didn’t even power back on by itself. I had to manually hold the button down. I’ve never had that happen before in the history of apps (for me). I might use this app in the future for a specific project, but it feels like we’re being nitpicked to death by subscriptions so I’ll use something else until I can’t. So I don’t plan to use this app. But I’m glad it exists.

App Doesn’t Open On iPhone X After 6.4.4. UPDATE: I appreciate the response the Developer Team addressing the issue at hand, they were thorough in explaining what went wrong in great detail and that there are certain issues they cannot re-create in house, and they rely on long time users to relay any issues your differences they have found. Not a lot of developers take the time to explain what caused an issue and exactly every step to correct it with little to no interruption towards the projects you already have in progress. They even gave me a contact email if the issue wasn’t resolved after preforming those steps. I appreciate the FiLMIC team for the work they put in, back to 5 stars from me. Thanks guys

Downgraded to 1 star - marketing scam with update v7. It is true you can continue to use the legacy version. Thank you for that. However, I have deleted the app because of your sneaky last minute notice of significant policy change at the very end of the update process. Not cool. Not cool. I used to love this app, but v7 upgrade removes ability to save to camera roll and if you want to access your files you have to subscribe. I’m disappointed. I do appreciate the instructions on how to downgraded to filmic legacy as they are now calling it. I would prefer a one time fee for life option. Please don’t write back with the a sob story about how you have to make money to keep developing. I already know about the realities of economics and development costs. I take issue with the sneaky way you waited until the end of the update process to notify me that I would be losing functionality unless I subscribe.

Previous user formerly irate now very happy. I love this app, I’ve been using it for a while now and it is perfect for what I do. Now with the new update I’m being forced to sign up for a payment plan? I get you need to make your money, but the reason I use my phone is that I am on a tight budget. Charging me $40 one time is fine, but every year? I wish you chose to let those of us who have been loyal customers keep our current plan but I’m sure you have plenty of people who will be willing to pay for this and losing business to one broke guy won’t keep you up at night. Now if you’ll excuse me I have a tiny violin to play while I tell my sad story to Buttons, my imaginary friend. Because unlike you, Buttons cares about my feelings. (Additional notes after the developer kindly responded and I had a snack and a nap) Okay, so Buttons and I may have overreacted a tiny bit. Turns out we can still use the previous version that we paid for if we don’t want the new one. It was really easy. So I get to use my “Vintage” version that I am very happy with. Thank you creators of Filmic Pro for keeping us in mind, it is greatly appreciated. Sorry for the drama.

An unfortunate change. FilmicPro was an absolutely brilliant app; one that prioritized functionality & capability over everything else. Despite a few minor UI/UX shortcomings it has long represented the best the App Store had to offer in terms of film making on iPhone. Unfortunately FilmicPro - one of the last holdouts - has now gone off and made it a subscription service. While I understand the economics of app development can be challenging… I won’t be subscribing. I would much rather pay for a new version every 2/3 years that perhaps supports the newer phones going forward. The new update does provide some new and nice function - yet still with many of the same UI shortcomings ( in my subjective opinion ) Overall very sad. Understandable but sad. Unless „professional filmmaking“ on iPhone becomes a priority for me ( which I doubt it is for the majority of current filmic owners ) I don’t see many people paying for the service. Anyways. Thanks for keeping filmic 6 around and I sincerely wish you guys the best of luck 👏. Let me know if you go back to one-time payments 👍

Bugs on iPhone X. I purchased this app because I had heard many great things about it and I will say that I was very impressed with a lot of the tricks of this app has to offer. However what’s been disappointing me over and over again is it the app has been crashing when using high frame rates, and not even for that long of a period. It will freeze when entering the review portion of the app where I would view the videos I’ve taken. I’ve also had times where I am switching resolutions and the app goes into mirror mode, which I’m sure is not supposed to happen. The image becomes upside down and reversed left to right making it impossible to record until I shut down the app completely and sometimes even have to turn off my phone. I have had the focus and exposure dials randomly start turning on me and I’ve also had exposure settings changed even though I have had them locked in. Overall I’m pretty disappointed because I never had these issues with ProMovie recorder which was only three dollars and I had heard amazing things about this app. These bugs could get taken care of I would be 100% satisfied because there are a lot of great things this app provides but I’m just not there yet. Thanks guys.

DoubleTake and filmicpro!!!. First thing first both apps when they works are fantastic HOWEVER I cannot trust that what I tell either app to record in will be what waits for me in the camera roll. 1) DoubleTake: I set to 30 FPS record rear camera as A-cam/ front as B-cam hit the red button.... go back at the end of the day to find a 3 frames per second video waiting for me. YES A WHOLE 3 FRAMES PER SECOND OUT OF 30..... a whole 10% of what I asked for. Don’t trust it. 2) filmicpro: this app does the same thing only not quit as bad usually end up with 10 FPS. Like I said when they work they work awesomely and if you have the time to check your videos immediately after you end shooting each individual section of video to verify it worked go ahead. However I cannot afford such a luxury. I cannot trust this app to save a file that matches what I told it that I wanted. I have reached out to their support and I am waiting to hear back. I will update once I hear back from them.

Fantastic Investment.. Personal use or business, this app WILL benefit you. If you're invested enough in the digital film age, this will prove useful someway, somehow. The cost of cameras and editing software ALONE should convince you to get this app. Live analytics, manual and auto focus, ease of access to change exposure, audio sensitivity control, guides, frame rate options, a company that listens and interacts with the community-- the list goes on, I couldn't be bothered. I WISH the native camera app on smart phones was this intuitive. The fact that I live in a day and age where I can practically have a movie camera in my pocket is astonishing, all for such a generous price (granted you have a phone at all. If you're reading this, I'm left to assume that you do). Buying this will NOT turn you into Christoper Nolan, but the HANDS ON advantages that this app provides you are a no brainer. Quentin Tarantino didn't have a movie maker in his pocket growing up. But YOU can. As someone who strives to live in the entertainment industry, this is a must for me. I have gotten to experience so much from this app with my PHONE that I would not have otherwise experienced without investing in a thousand dollar camera. If you're interested enough in film, are super low budget, and want an introductory taste? Buy this app now.

Real scammy move. I’m a film major and I bought this app at the recommendation of my professor as it’s a cheaper alternative to buying a camera. At the time mine was old and somewhat broken and I couldn’t afford a new one so I thought it would be a good move. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case. This app was wonderful for a period of time, it gave me quality footage that was actually better than both my old camera and the cameras provided to us by the school. However, in a disgustingly scammy move they decided to implement a monthly subscription fee. I’m currently unemployed and I’m living on a budget, $8 a month for an app that I already payed $15 for?? That’s just unsustainable to me. At this point I might as well delete the app and save up for a camera because I’ll be spending the same amount of money on it in the long run. Next thing you know they’re gonna be charging you to delete the app like they’re Adobe. Hopefully they reverse this decision as it seems I’m not alone in finding this absolutely absurd.

Disappearing Options. I think this will be a good option for B-roll in conjunction with my DSLRs using my DJI Osmo Mobile and iPhone. However, the analytics functions disappear. They are there for a second and then they’re gone. I don’t know if maybe it’s because I am using an older iPhone. Also, no 4K option. I know it can be done with an iPhone 5s. I have seen it done. I even have a $2.99 app installed that gets me useable footage that is just slightly less than 4K. Hands down FilMic Pro is the clear winner in the category of apps that can get you cinematic footage on your iPhone, just don’t forget about those of us that don’t upgrade our phones as often. If my disappearing options are not related to the age of my phone, I would love to know what is causing it. I would love it if I could even get 1440p but all I can get is 1080p. One other thing, I am running iOS 11.3 if that helps.

Great app/ horrible business move. I have been using Filmic Pro for less than a year now. I have loved every minute of it, but I originally bought the app precisely because it was not a subscription model. Well, they have now been bought out by a company that is changing that. They have said that those of us that previously bought the app would continue to be able to use the app without “upgrading” to the subscription but they have yet to clarify if we would still get updates or be forced into the subscription model when we upgrade to new phones. So in other words, when I upgrade to the iPhone 14 that is about to come out, will I be able to download the app that I have loved and already own……….probably not! I will never pay upwards of $150 a year for an app on a phone! That is insanity and Bending Spoons needs to realize they are not dealing with consumers who were born with silver spoons in their mouths. They have, in all likelihood, initiated the end of a once great app! I would have ranked the app 4 stars plus before this move by the company. Now……… 1 star is generous!

Subscription just doesn’t make sense for most users. Like many others, I mostly just use the built in camera app for quick videos during the week. I bust out Filmic when things need to be more professional or I need more control for one reason or another. I will frequently go weeks or even months without using it but then will use it intensely for a short period. The move to a subscription model means that I would constantly be subscribing for a week here and there and then unsubscribing, which is just not worth the trouble for me. I understand that the legacy features are still functional, but I am being pestered every time I open the app to subscribe. I understand the need for a revenue stream and why they can’t give free updates forever, but personally, I’d pay up to 40 to own this new version outright, or 15 dollars or so on a yearly basis but not the 40 or 50 they are asking, and certainly not 2-3 dollars a WEEK. I’m sure for some it makes sense, but not this user.

Was a good app, but shady changes ruined it.. Change from purchasable app to subscription model is extremely disappointing. And it did so kind of underhandedly which makes it even worse to me. Had I not seen the others reviews first, I probably would have unknowingly just updated the app and not have noticed the change. This is not acceptable. It should have been a NEW app altogether, so that those of us that had purchased the app would have not just been blindly switched into a subscription model. I get that they now have a “Legacy” app. But updating the old app should have never moved previous purchasers to the subscription model app, and it should have just updated us to the “legacy” app instead with option for US to chose to switch into a new subscription model if we so choose. The deception in that is appalling. I won’t be recommending this app from now on for that reason alone. Too bad, because the app WAS fantastic. Shady business practices ruined it for me.

Think you're paying twice?. Check again. I believe we're paying three times. I've been a long-time user of Filmic Pro, and I paid extra for all the goodies early on. That's once. Now they've moved to a subscription model, where, if I want the same level of support and development I've enjoyed over the years to continue, I need to pay a hefty annual subscription. I'm still deciding if Filmic Pro is worth the investment over Filmic Pro Legacy. If I choose the subscription, that's twice I'm paying. Ever since Bending Spoons acquired Filmic, their stated privacy policy and data collection policy is disturbing. They collect copious amounts of my personal information, information for which other parties will pay. And even if they don't sell it, it will still add value to their bottom line. Value that I hand them over and above the money I pay to rent the app. They collect data for the Legacy app as well. And I have no choice of whether or not I give them that information. They just take it if I use the app. That's three times I've paid. Want to see something *really* scary? Check out the "Data Linked to You" for Bending Spoons' Splice app. I can honestly say I've never seen any app that collects so much personal data. Am I willing to pay Bending Spoons 3 times for Filmic Pro? Am I willing to pay twice for Legacy? Are you?

This app is a sight for sore eyes. I used FilmicPro on my galaxy S 22 ultra and am psyched to find it's on the app store. I found it was the most fully equipped cinematography/videocam app, yet somehow they manage to keep everything minimalistic streamlined and just totally sleek looking. Form follows function Minimalistic streamlined and just totally sleek looking. Form definitely follows function as it’s fantastically minimal design is so easy work with. It didn't take me long at all to learn my way around. Though even after 4 years of using Filmic I still doubt I know everything this feature packed beast of a smartphone camera can do. You definitely won't get bored with this one. Devs 🙇🏼‍♀️🙌🏻 kudos! Btw I do have one question... I have not been able to find an app with tracking auto focus like Samsung s22 and later offers. Do you or ANYONE offer TAF on IOS?? Or is it not possible due to limitation of ios hardware? I was surprised it wasn't in the stock cam (on my14pro max) tbh. Thanks again

Removed the promotional link in the main menu (y). The previous version has a promotional link front and center in the top-level main menu, which I think was inappropriate, in particular when there is also an Information / Support page which would have been perfect for that. That’s great. However the app still does not work with the Osmo Mobile 3 gimbal, which has been widely available everywhere for several weeks now. The app connects, but the gimbal functions don’t work, for example the Rec button on the gimbal changes the volume, zoom does nothing, etc, so the DJI protocol changes and Filmic currently lags a little behind. In addition to the obvious, it would be nice to add a tracking mode that controls the gimbal motion from the app, where we could drag an arbitrary rectangle anywhere in the frame, and the shot would keep whatever is there at that position in the frame (specifically, not necessarily centered!) - that would be the next level of awesomeness! Thanks for the update, yet already looking forward to the next one.

Works great!. I hardly ever write reviews but Filmic really earned a great review. Works great on my iPhone 6s. A really well-designed and full-featured app that fit my need for creating a more professional video than what I could have done with the native camera app. I had a bit of a hiccup trying to get the already-paid-for pro Kit onto my iPad, but it turned out to be an Apple App Store UI issue. Even so, Filmic Support was super helpful and responsive and helped me get over that hurdle. One minor area for improvements I’d suggest — the linking between the Remote on my iPad and FilmicPro on my iPhone was slow to be recognized and the pairing disconnected once (I’ve used it in 2 sessions so far). That said, I’m very happy with the FilmicPro kit bundle. KUDOS to the Developers and to Support!!

Previously Purchased. I used to love this app. Had no problem making to full purchase years ago, but of course, people get greedy and only care about $$$ Why should I or anyone else who purchased the full app, now have to pay regularly in order to use it? Honestly, I think you owe all of us our money back. You can’t take back what we already purchased long ago and say you “I know you already bought it, but if you want to use it, pay me more or else I’ll hold it hostage” You want to change the format to bank off of people using it beyond the original purchase fine but that means you owe everyone of us who purchased the app our money back since you took it back. You can’t take our money and take back what we bought. I’m shocked no one has come after any of you developers through legal as of yet. Practically pulling a bait and switch. It’ll happen. Mark my words. Then y’all will end up feeling the true cost of greed.

Great app. Would love if.... I’ve been using FilMic for some time now and I have to say it is the best app out there for smartphone filmmaking or content creators who don’t have a mirrorless, DSLR or cinema camera. With the quality of camera phones these days, it’s getting close to where you may not need those other cameras. Unlikely, but close. There are a few things that I would like to see in future updates, though. One being, a Clinometer. There are apps that do this but it would be more efficient if it were incorporated into the app. The other being a way to control more gimbals like Zhiyun Crane 3s. I know it takes both companies to be onboard with this idea but if you can make that happen, that would be fantastic. I love this app. It’s my go to app for filmmaking. I said I would try this subscription model for a year to see if it was worth it. So far, I’m not disappointed. Keep it going FilMic! Thanks for all the great updates.

I was a fan until subscriptions started. I was never a fan of subscription based software. For the developers, I get it. Subscriptions provide a steadier income stream, but what I’ve found is that people get greedy and start jacking up the subscription fees. For the customers, it’s all or nothing. I’d rather pay for new feature sets released in major versions. Customers can decide if the features are worth paying for. If you have to raise prices, do so on the new version and offer discounts to existing customers. Bug fixes and security updates should be free. As it is Flimic Pro did provide a legacy version, the feature set is frozen at V6 and will likely get less attention than the current version. I will have to find another app or just work with my iPhone Camera. Very disappointed that, after paying and getting used to using it I now have to find something else to work with. I can see why existing users are angry.

Filmic Pro is one of the few truly professional apps. I’ve been a Filmic Pro user for many years, and am always impressed at the settings and features available within the app that can’t be found elsewhere. Filmic Pro provides high quality, easy-to-use access to each facet of filmography that can be used on iOS and iPadOS. Integrated support for third-party wireless mics, external lenses, and cloud storage further extend just what the platform is capable of, and allow users to take advantage of resource-intensive modes such as ProRes video, HDR10, high frame rates, and uncompressed audio — all without worry that the phone or tablet’s internal storage will be overwhelmed. I wholeheartedly recommend Filmic Pro to anyone who works in film, is a prosumer, and/or occasionally finds themselves needing to shoot professional-grade footage from their Apple device.

Need to get back to V6 with all purchased options INCLUDING DOUBLETAKE. RESOLVED: After the automatic upgrade to V7 I can’t send recently filmed footage for my client. Not to mention using the app without paying for it again. This wasn’t suppose to be an “upgrade” but rather sold as a separate product. I have already paid for the app and my clients paid handsomely for the project they can’t even see. UPDATE: Ok. This has been resolved after time spent (would filmic be so kind to pay for my time?): downloaded the legacy, moved files from “pro” to “legacy” and finally was able to send them to my frustrated client. ADDITIONAL PROBLEM: Something else thou - DoubleTake now automatically connects to the “upgraded” Pro V7, not the restored-downgraded-renamed “legacy” V6. Well, I have paid for the DoubleTake and want to be able to use it with restored v6. ⭐️ rating still remains. FINAL THOUGHTS: don't get me wrong - I’m not surprised by the price. Would buy it for this price if it was sold this way originally. What’s wrong - is how the upgrade from v6 to v7 handled. Customers were hit with new payments without any advanced warning plus time and efforts needed for recovering existing footage. V7 is a new app - not an upgrade. Information well in advance would help us make educated choices. Instead we got an offer we can’t resist - mob style

Amazing!. Recently the updates have pushed this app to new heights! There is now no reason why I cannot get the results I want using this app! I am a photographer and I come from the film world and understand all the basics of still photography technology. Now with this app I can fully control movie making process to the same high-level that I do in photography which is truly amazing because I am using an iPhone 7 to do this! Enjoy you will not regret it as long as you read the information try all the settings over and over Until you believe you know it! Then you will have it under your control it’s that easy! The update keep coming and coming and coming software is getting better and better and better!

I feel ripped off.. I DO NOT think it’s ok to have someone buy something from you, just for you to then take it back and charge them a subscription for its use. How is this even legal let alone ok? Technically, they didn’t take it away but you can’t even save your videos that you take with it so pretty much you can’t even use it or what’s the point and using it if you can’t access the footage you recorded unless you have a subscription. It’s like going to Walmart buying some thing and then Walmart coming to your house and taking it unless you pay a subscription monthly for it. Oh, but let’s not forget we took off a dollar for “loyalty” since I bought it already. Please. A lot of people are not only very angry but all feel cheated and ripped off my the filmicPro app development team..,but I can’t speak for others. I can only speak for myself and how I feel on it. Which is also cheated, ripped off, and it’s all together bad business. I went from your biggest supporter and praised you on my channel. Now I’m done with filmic pro. Greed gets the best of everyone Eventually. And with the way that technology is moving faster each day. There will be the next “filmmakers favorite app” before you know it…,and the only thing that people will remember about filmic pro is getting ripped off.

Shameless. Realizing that every company needs to make money - your app was not cheap (as apps go) So you “update” the app I paid for and 𝒚𝒐𝒖 advertised as being a “one-time-purchase.” Now, thanks to your avarice, I can’t use the app unless I buy a subscription. Shameless exploitation. And yes, I already heard, I can download the legacy version - a version that is not designed to be updated, one for which you plan no support. Had I and countless others (check your reviews here and other review forums) known you were planning this, 𝒘𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒖𝒅𝒖𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝒂𝒄𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒖𝒔, 𝒆𝒍𝒔𝒆𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆. Like on “Beast Cam”, or “Moment”, or “Protake.” Bait and switch… and there’s not “thing one” any of us can do about it. It’s too late to dispute the initial purchase from the App Store. Congratulations on finding the perfect way to steal from your customers… in plain sight… without repercussions. If you were smarter, you would have 𝒓𝒆-released this app with a new name. But then you wouldn’t have had a ready made base of people you could try and double sell to… or your coveted “Editor’s Choice” status. I see you Filmic Inc and your parent company Bending Spoons. Your business practices are reprehensible, I’m disgusted. And you should read some of the Reddit posts of people who also think you are criminals.

I Want My Money Back, Honestly. Reviews complaining about apps moving to subscription-based models are a dime-a-dozen, and I understand why they can be necessary in our current financial climate. However, I’ve spent almost $40 on this app (between the original purchase, cinematographer’s kit, and filters), and now that’s gone with this new update. While I get a theoretical discount on the subscription, if I choose not to pay it, you flat out can’t save your videos outside the app itself. Other apps, most relevantly Halide, have handled this correctly: when they moved to a subscription model, existing customers kept access to every current feature and simply wouldn’t get new features until they subscribed. No one loses. Here, what was once a very reliable and trusty filming companion has been rendered unusable, and I can’t bring myself to get the subscription because of this bad taste. Incredibly disappointing.

EDITED: USED to be amazing, but now…. EDITED: Okay, I have edited this to 3 stars now after the response from the team. I can still download Legacy Filmic Pro since I bought it. I’m glad that is still an option, and I was incorrect in part of my review. However, I still cannot stand subscription model apps like this. It’s completely unnecessary. Therefore, I’m sticking with 3 stars. Here is the original review: Switching to a subscription model and then not allowing people who already bought the app to export the videos they filmed? Not cool at all. I used to love this app. I used it all the time. It was amazing. But that’s not cool at all. I’ve never done a 1 star rating. But I have to for this app. Please remove the subscription requirement for people who already paid full price for your app. Horrible.

Seriously?!?. I loved this app. Beautiful videos, cinematic quality. I bought the previous version not too long before the recent overhaul. Originally, the developers allowed the previous app buyers to use their version of the app as usual since we paid for it. But I just opened it and the app tells me I can rewatch my videos I record within the app, but now have to pay to be able to export them to my device. Are you kidding me?!? I get starting this model with new buyers (subscribers now) but doing that to the people who had previously purchased your app? Nah. I’ll find a different app whose developers give a crap about the people who have already paid and supported them. As a business owner myself, I know better than to buck the people who have already been paid me as buyers are your highest converting audience for new products with the least investment. We got leads, not cold ones. Bye, Felicia.

Betrayed by the App I Convinced My Family to Buy. I can't express how disappointed and betrayed I feel right now. I was the one who convinced my entire extended family to invest in this app, and now we find ourselves on the receiving end of a terrible decision by the developers - switching to a subscription model. This move has not only shattered the trust we had in this app but also strained my relationships with my family. They feel cheated, and so do I. I never anticipated that something as seemingly innocent as a video filming app could turn into a source of financial burden and friction within our family. As Christmas approaches, I'm left with the daunting task of working extra hours to compensate for the money spent on this app. It's disheartening to think that I may have to sacrifice precious time with my loved ones just to make up for this unexpected expense. To the developers: You've not only let down your loyal users but have also caused real harm to families like mine. I urge you to reconsider your decision and find a more user-friendly approach, one that doesn't lead to users feeling deceived and burdened. Until then, I can't recommend this app to anyone, and I deeply regret convincing my family to invest in it. We kindly request that you provide us LOYAL customers with regular updates, especially for the log recording. Please help me mend relationships with my family by regularly updating the previous legacy app.

Now we have to pay! Smh.. I have used Filmic Pro for almost two years! Now Filmic Pro wants people to pay and I’m very disappointed in that because not many people have the money to pay. The reason why I haven’t invested into a $1000 - $3000 DSLR camera is because I have a 13 Pro that I’m already having to pay $1000 for. What’s the point on paying for a subscription if I have a pro phone! Hints the name FILMIC PRO! I have made in app purchases to get film logs and other presets… now I have to pay something I can’t afford to pay for. I understand that this app has to have some sort of money flow to improve the app. But at least charge two dollars a month then I’ll pay. But weekly I can’t do that! I really love this app and now I’ve kinda lost interest in this app. I hope the crew at Filmic Pro will fix this ASAP.

New, unwanted subscription model bait and switch. This is positively nauseating. One of the best video apps in the history of the App Store has pivoted into a subscription scam model to squeeze recurring revenue from people no matter how much they actually use the thing. How wonderful, one of my favorite tools has been turned into a SERVICE that people can REPEATEDLY pay for if they want version updates. Oh, and very cute, users who purchased this tool back when it was a tool and not a SERVICE get to download a sneaky always-unlocked version of the app. Hooray for me and past owners. Downright gross for future users. I can’t believe an app and development team I had the utmost respect for and who I felt had the utmost respect for their users would make such a greedy, frustrating, backwards and upsetting decision. This app was once truly wonderful. However, I will never recommend it to another living soul as long as the team continues in this anti-consumer, anti-creativity new direction. Shameful, unexpected, and so very sad.

Excited and scared, but your team is amazing. Well I’ll just start off by saying this might be my first of a follow-up review that I’ll do on filmic pro. Although I am a content creator designer, musician and photographer I have finally been given the opportunity to develop a short feature film and I’ve been struggling due to the low budget whether or not I was going to do the project using FiLMiC Pro and my iPhone XS Max with the moment lens or eating the cost of getting a DSLR camera in the $1500 range. After testing with your software and with my phone and the Moment lenses I’m very excited about this project. Please continue to look for ways to improve the product wherever you can but I realize there’s only so much you can do based upon the hardware that Apple or any other phone developer puts into their camera and lens system. Stay tuned.

Join the chorus of the disappointed. I used to use this app for my volunteer work at a non-profit. But switching it out to a subscription model? That’s pretty low. It could have at least been handled better with a prior release flashing this was coming forth and rename the app to something else so people would not accidentally hit update all. Or better yet, launch the subscription model as a new product. Instead, how many users just got screwed updating and locked out? And btw, the legacy app DOES NOT cut it! That build is damaged, because all of a sudden my external comica wireless mic hardware no longer works. The app freezes when it detects the comica mics, yet the mics work with any other app. Additionally, the older versions i have running on my other phone (not updated to 7.0) or ipads all work without flaw nor lock up. Good luck with the new model. Given how poorly the transition and launch was, you definitely lost a client. I will support another development platform.

Bate and Switch RIP OFF. I came on board Filmic Pro when it was a flat purchase for a one-time payment (US$15). It was a great app. I could even imagine making “upgrade” one-time payments for new versions. But this FIFTY DOLLAR A YEAR subscription now being imposed where you have to keep shelling out cash forever if you want to keep using the app, essentially taking away from me the lifetime license I already paid for is criminal. Fortunately the FREE Blackmagic Camera app is just as powerful and feature rich as the great-turned-RIPOFF Filmic app. BONUS: Blackmagic Camera collects NO DATA, nor does it track you. The new Filmic now not only collects outrageous subscription fees, it also collects all kinds of personal information, for example the names and info of your contacts, it tracks you, and sells your information to third parties. AVOID subscribing to Filmic, and get the powerful, feature rich, FREE Blackmagic Camera app, which DOES NOT COLLECT ANY INFORMATION, and does not track you.

Want pro video from your iPhone? Get this app!!!. Writing an updated review. The iPhone video camera is remarkably good. I’m using Filmic Pro on an iPhone 8+, and this app gives me manual control over just about everything. I can lock and manually control focus, exposure, and even color temperature. There are various profiles to shoot with that allow for better post-production color correction. I love how well Filmic Pro and LumaFusion work together as an acquisition/post suite, all on a single device. The interface is well thought out and easy to use, once you get used to it. Being able to bring up focus peaking, zebras, and other overlays with a touch makes it remarkably easy to make sure I’m getting exactly the image I want. This app has allowed me to leave my DSLR home for many of my professional recording sessions. I just added Filmic Remote to my toolkit. I’ve only used it in circumstances where I have a strong wifi network so far, but it works really well. It’s incredibly useful to be able to control the iPhone camera without touching it, and pretty much all of the tools you’d use in Filmic Pro are readily available in Filmic Remote. Well worth the price!

Don’t even think about it!!. I purchased this app when I started college (about four years ago) since I didn’t have a proper dedicated camera and felt this was totally worth it BACK THEN. Now they decided to throw all of us under the bus and implemented an absolute ripoff of a subscription service while maintaining a subpar app for us peasants who were dumb enough to buy the app in the first place. The minimum they should’ve done would be to grandfather all of their old buyers and keep the subscription for the new ones. But backstabbing paying customers and holding us hostage for money is just not a good look. I hope Apple stops collaborating with this company and promoting their nasty anti-consumer practices. I regret so much recommending this app to friends and peers. If I ever use the legacy version I’ll never say with what I shot it. This app would be nothing without us users who made it popular and used it for our projects in the first place, and you don’t deserve it.

This was a fantastic piece of video software. Filmic Pro was well worth the money spent. Intuitive, easy to use, and fairly priced. Unfortunately, all good things have to come to an end. The latest update was poorly implemented, and for many of us, it cost users the ability to use the software we initially paid for. I’m sorry Filmic team, but you lost customers on this one. Money is money, I get it! I would like to still be able to use your product, but a paid subscription is just out of the cards for many people, myself included. I would like to be able to use the older software (ver. 6) however, the option to download the older version through the newer software does not seem to work on my device. I hate to abandon this app, but I’ve been given no reasonable choice. I hope you guys make the money you require to keeping doing what you enjoy. I just refuse for it to come from my pockets.

The anamorphic filter is real!. Great App. The in-app microphone is the best when compared to other video Apps, but I feel that the creators put to much focus on it. For example, I have manually turned off the mic multiple times only to close the App and return to it being engaged again. The quality and manual focus options are so smooth and have so much potential that this app partnered with a gimble steadycam could give the even the most pedestrian filmmaker into a national festival. I guess what I’m saying is that they should scrap the microphone entirely and enhance what is already the best focus and depth of field on the AppStore. Basically, if the quality of the footage is going to be as professional as it is, then it’s kind of bogus to assume that the microphone recorder is going to get the job done in post. Who are they appeasing? Wake up, yr not SnapChat...and that’s OK. I love yr app, though. Like I said, get a steady-cam or a cheap tripod and tell a story about something that explains how you feel about things because FILMpro is really killing it with quality.

FilMic Pro: Sure, it’s at least worth the money.. FilMic Pro is great with iPhones. On the iPhone 7 Plus alone, it’s able to shoot 120 Frames Per Second (FPS), and just imagine what it could accomplish with future smartphones. On the new iPhone 11, it can even shoot 240 FPS. That’s totally unheard of for any phone camera. One thing I would ask the developers to do is not limit all of FilMic’s functions to the iPhone 11 Pro. I mean, granted, I’m sure a lot of Apple fans have the Pro models, but some of the functions are restricted to just these fans that I speak of. For example, the iPhone 11, the phone which I currently have, has a wide and ultra wide camera. The FilMic app has no problem zooming in, but it will not zoom out. What good is and ultra wide camera if I can’t use it? The Pro model phones can zoom out in the app, though. Also, I would like to see automatic focus. The focus is only controllable by the app user, so this ends up with slight imperfections. Overall I enjoy using this app, and can’t wait to see what future updates can accomplish.

You get 10 stars. Best app on the market. I got some major ideas for this app. Send me your email. I’ve used many apps and this is flawless. I’m a reggae producer who started video recording. I use a gimbal. Filmic pro. Filmic remote. Mic and light using only my iPhone. The videos are speechless. But I see some ideas that could lock the market. Expand the lens to 6x like the app for my gimbal. Add under community access to sign in a Client to access their camera but record the video into my filmic pro. That way I can record people from around the world in high quality. Make the app access more features on the gimbals. And a story mode like the app for my gimbal. That stitches video together into a movie. I would give you 9000 stars. I compared a few footages from filmic and the iPhone camera. No comparison. Filmic is like having a expensive dslr camera in a iPhone. Ohhh another thing. Add filters in a in app purchase for the lens. Another thing I thought of. Under audio. Add access to iaa apps. Like MicSwap. And we can swap the mic in the video to different mics. And filmic would be Hollywood. Oscar. Etc etc.

One size doesn’t fit all. I just opened Filmic for the first time in several months to discover I needed to either download the legacy version or pay a very steep subscription cost. Very disappointing. While I very much appreciate the legacy option, I think you missed the boat here. Yes, there are people shooting on iPhones making commercial quality video. Yes, you deserve income for future development. But there’s a lot of casual users (I use it maybe twice a year) for whom a subscription is untenable. Perhaps you could find a payment mechanism that is more equitable, say $X lets you download Y gigabytes of video, or $X gives your Y hours of shooting time. That would give you a revenue stream and allow casual users to get the latest features. I’m sure other mechanisms could be found as well.

Seems Like There’s Much Potential. I don’t have time for many positives but I will say the app adds many features that the native camera app doesn’t have. I also get stunning footage in 24fps LOG. What I Want (Using on iPhone 11 Pro): 60fps LOG as this is disabled Shutter speed lock when switching lenses Simultaneous shutter speed and exposure lock Exposure lock when switching lenses Easier way to switch between lenses Easier rack focus mechanism Zoom mode that auto switches lenses like the native app while recording Zoom mode that allows me to quickly switch to 2x lens while recording Frame drops in any frame rate to stop occurring Easier white balance adjustments with lock and number input ability ISO number input ability Tap to focus option Histogram overlay while recording I have shot commercial videos with this app now multiple times and some videos on the side for fun. It is a major step up from the native camera app but I do not feel confident using this in a working environment as I am adjusting settings more often than shooting, missing many important shots as most of my work involves live events. For now, I will have to switch back to using my DSLR. If the above list of features were implemented into the software my worries would be gone and I’d give this app a 5 star rating.

Filmic. It will be good if you use the go pro app in The filmic pro app for letting us to use your go pro camera and thank you to letting us to use your app

Outrageous cash grab ruins previously excellent app. I was happy to pay for Filmic Pro, an excellent app that worked well. Until it randomly updated itself and demanded I agree to deeply suspect new terms and a privacy policy best described as shocking. Otherwise, it said, stop using the app. Why has this happened? New owners, pivoting to a spectacularly expensive subscription model. Officially, you can continue to use the purchased app. But we all know how this will work. The old app with be ignored, and slowly wither away, in an effort to push as many users as possible towards the idiotically expensive subscription model. What a lovely, mutually respectful customer relationship - how much can we gouge out of these suckers. So, sadly, I can only urge you to avoid this app, unless you enjoy being ripped off in a cynical cash grab.

Amazing app but doesn’t support active tracking. Filmic pro is a very nice app. Unlike iPhone’s default camera settings, you can do manual settings in Filmic pro you like and record raw videos and later can edit in advance softwares like Premiere pro. But it doesn’t support active tracking like in DJI Mimo. So, I would like to provide feedback to the developers team to add this functionality so that users can have amazing extra feature and don’t need to think any other app to shoot videos.

Audio let down. I’ve liked this app for so long, it does great and incredibly professional video. However the audio seemed to bug out on me and was recording at a very low rate despite the fact that I changed no settings. Very disappointing and frustrating.

Phenomenal App. Shooting a short film recently, I decided to use my iPhone 11 Pro as a secondary camera. Using the Filmic Pro app, it quickly became the primary camera on shoot. The seamless and intuitive nature of the app made shooting a breeze. And the cinematographers kit expansion turned this little machine in my hand into a cinematic camera. I’m so very impressed, and keen to submit this short film to various comps

I’d give it 6 stars if I could!. Fantastic app and now they’ve added support for Movi Cinema Robot this app has really gone to the next level if functionality and film making creativity, with the latest update id give it 6 stars if I could! For any budding mobile film maker out there do yourself a favour and get this app, the in app purchase for the cinematographers kit is also well worth the money, go for it!

Forced to pay for a subscription after already paying for the app. Paid for the app a couple years ago and absolutely loved it - was the perfect on the go filmmaking tool. However, recently it has updated and is now requesting a subscription to download any footage I use. It has also disabled some features which I paid extra for unless I subscribe. Sad to say I will no longer be using this app!

Great but..... Love using the app for professional work and teaming it with Luma Fusion, which data flows through to seamlessly. However, would love to see you resolve some data transfer issues. When you try to transfer multiple clips - it doesn’t like it. Slows down the job. Worse yet when you try to send clips to an iShowFast - it is very intermittent and often won’t transfer them. Know all the silly mistakes - learned the hard way - not that. Once you fix this issue you’ll get those other two stars.

How do you edit videos?. I bought this app last week and see no editing features. There is an online tutorial on editing videos but the app does not support it. Where are your video editing features hiding?

A must buy app for your videos. Updated review: You cannot live without this app if you love shooting videos with your phone. Especially when the developer is so proactive to review each feedback and respond. Thanks to the developer for getting back to me. I had some issues using it on iPhone 11, however it is all working well.

Audio issue. As much as I love this app. It truly is amazing, there is major problem I am having when using my iPhone mic and it happens 50-60% of the time, a loud repeating beating/vibrating sound that drowns our everything else and 10 seconds worth of still frame at the end of each video. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

All good UNTIL !!!!. Great Camera App , used it all the time for professional work. Paid top money to get the full version. Everything was fine until the developer tried to get greedy and push us into Subscriptions NO ! NO ! NO ! No fair notice to existing customers , No “ let’s look after our old users “ NOTHING ! Just a convoluted payment plan and a locked app if you decide not to go ahead. Poor show !! Bad Company Values !!

Rip off subscription. Was a good app that I paid for. Being forced to buy a subscription for an update is highway robbery. You can’t just tell us to use an old app that will not be updated with the new features of the latest update. You’ve just robbed all your customers. Surely this is illegal. I hope Apple develop an inbuilt manual setting that rivals, no outdoes filmic pro and makes your app redundant. You are criminals and that’s me being kind. Good bye. I will never use this again.

PLEASE READ DEVS. Guys, fantastic app really. One addition would solve so many problems for me. The white balance always reverts back to AWB even if saved in a global preset! Please make it a saveable setting that persists after program is restarted(like every dslr camera behaves) or at the very least saveable to a preset where it does not reset to AWB(auto white balance). I realise it can be set each time but that is time consuming and easy to forget when you need to shoot something quickly, fixing a rapidly changing white balance in post is a nightmare. Once fixed my review will go back to five stars.

Turning the community against you.. Bending Spoons was the downfall for Filmic Pro and all of its faithful customers. For those who got grandfathered into the Filmic Pro Legacy, we got lucky, we still get to use the app we paid for. For those who want to purchase this after the new subscription model, just keep scrolling. There are plenty of premium camera apps that won’t price gouge you after being bought out by a big company.

Extremely buggy on iPhone X. Just bought this as it came highly recommended. Nice functionality in controls. Continually crashes on playing back of videos, and many times doesn’t capture audio. It has also completely rendered my iPhone frozen after crashing on playback, twice now. Please fix how horribly unstable this app is and I would rate it highly. It’s not a cheap product, with such huge bugs.

Filmic. Awesome app.. This app is so good. I’ve been using it for a whole now, and I haven’t had any problems. I pairs seamlessly with my dji osmo mobile 3. I love the power of it, other apps I’ve tried just don’t compare. The focus and exposure controls and very intuitive and easy to use. All in all, I am very happy with this app, and I highly recommend it.

3 stars just for one nuisance. Well though I have just started using it but one thing is great Nuisance for me which I don’t face in many other camera apps and that is without phone orientation lock opened app doesn't change it’s orientation. Please correct it. Because orientation lock of iphone helps in many other nuisance but camera apps should be free of it.

New Pricing Structure. I agree with other reviews, the latest costing is absolutely insane for this app. I just finished watching some tutorials stating the purchase price as a OTP reasonable fee only to be completely stunned when I saw the NEW fees. I suggest maybe Filmic Pro take another look at this before they lose out to up and coming app developers

Subscription has lost me. Sad to have purchased the app a year back and now required to sign up to subscription model. I am fast becoming disillusioned with companies that do this. The price the are seeking, I would rather spend on buying an actual 4K camera. Most probably I will turn to another app that will fill this space that filmic has tossed aside.

Stabilisation bug. It seems to be one of the great filming app. Although There is a bug when using stabilisation. When the stabilisation is turned on, the screen goes all green. It may not happen to everyone but it’s happening with my new iPhone Xs. When I delete and reinstall the app, it looks fine for mins and then same green screen covers the whole screen.

False pretenses.. Well this is a great App. I purchased a brand-new iPhone 11 on the strength of this apps demo at WWDC. I have waited patiently for a year and it has not eventuated. And even worse there is no advice as to when it may happen. I purchased a very expensive phone which will be out of date before the feature is released. I am sure Filmic Pro won’t assist which a new phone purchase so I’m not happy! Our than that it’s a good app.

Great app but (developer please respond). I bought this app it’s really good, the best on the market but when I opened the app I saw that I had to pay another $22 I thought that’s what the first $22 I payed this would be a perfect app if you could remove it and for $22 its not very important to upgrade anyway it’s just annoying please fix this and make the best mobile filming app on the market 🙏

Too buggy. Great feature set but too buggy for a pro app. We have list video (corrupted files unable to be repaired) and one clip that was recorded with no sound even though the audio bars indicated that smothered was no hardware issues. Have had these problems on multiple iPhone (11pro and 11 pro max). Also preview seems to be super slow on the new iPhone SE (2nd gen) when HEVC is turned on. This app doesn’t seem to cope with HEVC. Such great potential but poor implementation. Shame :(

Now works with Zhiyun Smooth Q2. Awesome, bought this app to use with the Smooth 4 and was awesome. Changed to the Smooth Q2 for a more compact gimbal when 4wd’ing. Was disappointed at first that filmic would record with the gimbal button, but now with the latest update it works awesome with it🤘 Love having full control over what I am recording and look forward to future updates👍

Minor update. Hi DEV team First of all best of luck for this app and more updates to come, it's been my travel video recording app and all the best memories of my life. But one thing I would like to suggest is that , while recording video if it could track an object then videos would look more smooth esp. while time-lapse if it could be added in next update then it would be a nice thing to have if the team can make it happen... Best of luck🤙🏼

Great app now even better!. Filmic pro has been my go to app for a while now, but it was niggly with respect for the Movi gimbal. Hardware support always felt half baked. But with 6.9 we have the integration with the Movi and its superb. Have been playing with it this morning and cannot wait to actually get outside and do something! The integration appears to take stuff straight from the Movi App (modes, window, tilt/roll, support for the D Pad etc). Have tested the basics so far record button, speed and love it. Well done Filmic!

A powerful app… however. There are bugs in the app. I did record few videos and after recording, I noticed some parts are missing and didn’t save… missed a great video …

Greedy developers and I hope apples takes down this. Paid top dollar to get the full app but then the developer got greedy and pushed an update so you have to get subscriptions in order to use it. This is downright most probably illegal. I want my money back for whatever I paid for this app. Apple please look into this matter as I can’t tolerate this stuff anymore. How come a developer make you buy with top dollar and I say not a cheap price and then later try to push subscription on top of it ?? Please explain me. I wish I could give 0 star

Great App but... Love this app, it’s the best Filming App for iOS, but please add support for the DJI OSMO Mobile 3 hardware gimbal, a toggle to use the Zoom controls on the gimbal to control Focus or Zoom of the camera would be a winner. DJI has updated the firmware recently so please update the app to support the Mobile 3, this is a must!!!

DON’T BUY THIS APP. I purchased their products and now they are forcing me to subscribe to use my purchase. I would pay a reasonable price for updates as needed. But, that's not what they're planning. I’ve bought this app and all upgrades twice. Once for myself and also for a nephew. Now they've taken my money and ran! Now they expect trust. Not happening! I have no problem with them switching to a subscription for new customers, "I don't like the idea" but for those of us who have had the initial deal locked in flat fee purchase of lifetime app with free updates they should honor that. It was their promise and they should keep it.

The best video app out there. I’ve only just started using this but I’m impressed by the quality of the app, the way it extends and customises the options and functions of the iPhone camera and the speed with which the devs responded to the Osmo Mobile 2 changes. Really impressive.

Great app but. This is a great app and a big help to improve video on the iPhone X. However I’ve got one problem: it keeps freezing. Always have the newest updates on my phone and I’ve waited a while to write this, but it keeps happening. If this can be fixed I’d have no complaints at all!

Find another video editor. At $4.99 a week, or $260 a year, this app simply is not worth it. Gouging customers perpetually, hoping for rubes that are silly enough to think this is good value. Maybe, just maybe, if the app was $4.99 a month, but your pricing is an immediate turnoff. And to think that this price DOESN’T include all features. Predatory, scummy tactics. With this strategy you do not deserve the money. This product gets a rating of: AVOID

Filmicpro. I purchased this app twice, one for me and a friend. My plan was to use it with 2 x iPhone Xs coupled with 2 x Senheiser EW100 G3 transmitter lapel mic systems. It was a total washout and failed miserably. I contacted FilmicPro over this and their answer did not resolve the issue. When I informed them of this I got no further replies. So I am annoyed and frustrated since this app is supposed to work seamlessly with the iPhone X. So no stars as a review until they take this seriously and fix it. UPDATE: My sincere thanks to Filmicpro. Since writing the above they have fixed the issue entirely and now I am very happy with this app. It works superbly.

Volume Keys Not Triggering Record.. When external microphone plugged in, the volume keys will trigger the volume not the record button on iPhone 12 Pro. Works as normal when unplugged and internal mic is activated. When using external lenses (ND and CPL) it’s very hard to use onscreen record button because of the clip used for lenses as I need the lense as close to the ground as possible at times. A fix for this would be immense !! loving the app. Thankyou

Seriously now you want a subscription??????. Loved when it’s able to share the videos with v6. Now after the update we HAVE TO pay for sharing options. Shame on you. 👎 Try to find any other way to differentiate the subscription service. Because we already paid for the app.

Amazing functionality.. This app has amazing functionality and the manual settings for focus and aperture are awesome once you figure it all out. It does take some practice. I would love integration for the Kaiser Bass XS3 gimbal. This would make Filmic Pro my absolute primary app for shooting video.

Scamming people now. This company used to create great software but as time went on they are starting to scam people. Here is how. They first force us to update who bought the software to the newer version with a dumb subscription model that stops us from exporting, sharing or access to our files outside of their system, if we do not have a subscription. This is the equivalent of getting software demo and having a player to watch your video. Complete scam and greed. I won’t be purchasing this app or from this company in the future under current management.

A great app!. We use this app in conjunction with an iPhone 6s Plus to document a micro dairy construction. I have a 5D Mk3. Filmic is fantastic and I seldom use the 5D. I can barley fault the app. There could be a little better integration of the screen rotation feature so it works properly once viewing clips. If you haven’t rotated the screen back at the video screen it stays in that orientation. But serious, this is a fantastic app. Highly recommended.

Disappointed does not work with DJI Osmo 3!. My initial excitement for this app has turned to massive disappointment in the fact that it does not support the Osmo 3. After reading further down on your preview statement in the App Store, you do state that you support Osmo 1 & 2. Unfortunately you do not make it clear that currently you do not support the Osmo 3. It is the only reason I purchased the app. Hopefully you will address support for the Osmo 3 soon.

Bait and switch, with extremely misleading communication. I paid for this app, that was supposed to be it. Now a subscription model is being forced on us on top of that initial, expensive, support? FILMIC, you are not providing a service, I will not pay frankly exorbitant ongoing fees when I -provide all the infrastructure myself. I’m a software developer, so I understand development costs money… but that’s what we paid for. This cash grab is gross, and nearly as bad as Filmora’s recent controversy. These practices are really toxic to our industry and I won’t fund that, ever.

Great App/One Request. Filmic Pro really adds professionalism to those who use their iPhone as a method of filming. I do recommend this app as it has endless options in which you can thoroughly set your preferences and consequently film a great-quality video. However, there’s a limit to which I would love to grant 5 stars. This limit is due to Filmic Pro’s incompatibility with ZhiYun SmoothQ 2. Other than that, I am looking forward to improving my filming experience with Filmic Pro.

Why the Multi-Cam Delay?. I enjoy using FiLMiC Pro and was turned onto it when Apple showed the new iPhone 11 multi-cam feature using the app. It was a huge promotion for the phone and the app yet after all this time still the multi-cam feature is not available. Why the delay?

Documentary. I have just returned from filming a documentary using my iphone x and filmic pro as well as a dslr. I could not have got the shots I wanted without the features on filmic pro including the focus pull and locking exposure, frame rate and focus. The documentary was filmed on an island requiring confidence of getting the shots in difficult lighting and sound conditions as events happened and with minimum equipment.

GREED. Not a fan of change to subscriptions. Bought the app (which has now become the Filmic Pro legacy app). Been using on and off for years, great manual control of iPhone camera settings. Now after update they have become a subscription - too many subscriptions these days and not using it all the time (every now and again, might not use it for 6mths) so can’t justify paying that much EVERY MONTH so have lost me. GREEDY.

Oh how the mighty fall. Have used Filmic Pro for several years now after paying the very fair fee despite its obvious concessions as a phone camera. Was very surprised and disappointed to open the app and see it has changed entirely and now demands a subscription despite having been paid for. That’s it, no indication or communication, no free version for legacy users who made this app popular and supported it to this point. Game over for me: I will not support a company that treats its users this poorly, and nor will I ‘subscribe’ to a product I have a paid license for.

Amazing App! But.... This app is great, it has all of the settings and requirements to produce high quality video from you mobile device, and HD been a great help when filming videos with my friends in the absence of a camera setup or a gimbal. However, the second $22 paywall within this $23 app is just absurd, I understand that developers are often underfunded and under supported but seriously!!

Great app but often produces frozen footage. There are so many great things about this app but the footage is often corrupted at several points where the audio continues but the video freezes. The footage for those parts is unusable. This is becoming very frustrating as I am a teacher trying to film lessons for remote learning on a tight schedule and it is seriously upsetting that I have to re-film entire segments of lessons because of this issue. Also, the audio gain slider is way to small and attempting to slide it often activates the home screen handle/bar. It would make more sense to integrate it into the actual audio levels meter on the right hand side. (Yes I’ve checked my storage. It’s fine. I’m on an iPhone Xr)

Amazing, pro-level app. In three years I’ve transitioned from shooting my corporate/nonprofit projects on a DSLR to shooting almost exclusively on my iPhone with Filmic. Always love that the developers keep up with the new features and formats that Apple adds to its new iPhones, there’s a great community of other users to get tips and ideas from and to share your work. Logv3 has been an absolute game changer. Can’t wait to see how it improves in the future!

Pop up non stop. Opening the app leads to constant pop ups looking for you to subscribe this is after purchasing their app. The window to subscribe to their subscription service is what comes up before the app opens. I know you offer other paid subscription services but after I bought the app I just want it to open to be fully functional and not open me to a constant barrage of ads promoting your subscription services. Sorry but constantly popping up ads is not professional so you should drop the pro in your name.

Scammed.. If only i knew the developers were gonna change this app to a subscription model after already paying a high price for the app, I’d never buy this. This *WAS* a great app until the developers chose their financial interests over their loyal customers interest. Moving on to a new app.

Tryed it for a week. Not worth it .

Best filming app out there. This is the best non-native app out there to film content!

Do we have an answer for our purchases???. I have read lots of comments saying that we can’t use our purchased version, did the developer or the company made any comment??? Let me know , if you had any update or comment, thanks

Terrible. Was barely worth the original price I payed, definitely not worth paying monthly. Such a disappointment. Whatever you do don’t feed their greed.

Aimer une app. Oui c’est cool!

A Must Have. Seriously, this is a must have for mobile filmmakers all over the world, this product is flawless

Use to love this app but…. Now I have to pay a monthly or weekly fee to get videos out of the app! See you later guys.

Can’t even manage their old customers.. Purchased Filmic outright several years ago with updates thru to v6 but don’t use it enough to justify paying subscription fees to update to v7. However, when I follow the vendor instructions for downloading Filmic Legacy, the downloaded app gives me a screen that says it is for users who have already purchased the app (which I have) and only gives me an option to use v7 (and the new subscription fees if I want to be able to export projects). So now I don’t even have access to the legacy version. The app may be great but I’d give the vendor 0 stars for their customer experience around this change.

No to painful subscriptions. I bought this app a few years ago. Now you got pay monthly or yearly. By the time we pay subscription for everything we are broke. Lol. Deleting. Don’t want the legacy - old version.

So disappointed. I just paid $20.00 for buying this app and it says again to spend more to get some other features. This is really frustrating and I wish I could get the refund.

The camera seems great but.... You have to pay an extra 13$ for the remote??? I understand paying for premiums like the log mode and other add one (though I don’t like it either)... but so many other apps have remotes for either free or 1$ Had I read more closely I would not have purchased. If you don’t care about that than yeah, it’s a good camera app. The analytics overlays are worth it alone.

In App Purchases. I like this app a lot but I just don’t understand why there is a need for in app purchases in a 20 dollar app. Edit: The developers responded with an understandable statement so my review is better.

Money hungry. Dissapointing move after having the app already $20.

Step in the wrong direction!. With version 7.3.0 the app is pretty much useless. Yes, I can capture video using professional settings, but the files are locked behind a paywall. Just last year, I was recommending this app to all my filmmaker friends. Now, the app sits on my phone and their phone doing absolutely nothing even after purchasing it. Filmic Pro took care of this community, this new anti-consumer move is heartbreaking.

A complete ripoff. I purchased this app for the ability to shoot LOG footage. But it turns out if I want to do that I need to pay an additional $19.99! Which is, basically, the cost of the app again!! The basic app has a couple of cool features but nothing that justifies paying $20.99 for it. I’m so annoyed by this that I’m requesting a refund. If you want to have the full features of this app, you’re looking at paying over $50 for it. NOT WORTH IT.

Locked out. I paid full price for this app with the add-ons. It was very expensive. I now have been locked out and have to pay a subscription to use and export footage. Dirty. Bait and switch.

Loved this app. Now…not so much.. I got this app and immediately loved the features. I paid for the extras which really opened up more possibilities. Hadn’t touched Filmic for awhile and after going to use it again I find out that it now wants to charge me for accessing MY OWN FOOTAGE. A subscription plan on top of what I already paid for? Screw you and horse you wrote code on. I am super disappointed in seeing where this app has gone. A subscription plan could work for extra features but after already paying for upgrades, a user shouldn’t have to pay weekly or yearly to have access to and download their own footage.

Scam. I have purchased the app full price. Since last update I can’t use it without subscription!!! Shame - was also suggested by Apple!!! Extremely disappointing!!!

Scamming your loyal customers will be your demise. I held off updating for the last year. Accidentally took the update then all the videos I made with V6 are locked unless I pay more. Not worth the money. B’bye.

Don’t buy this app. I paid the full price for the complete package they used to sell. Now they’ve moved to a subscription service and it’s a big FU to the past customers. Can’t do anything on the app now. Save to files to photos…NOPE. Get any of the video files out of the app…NOPE. Use any of the functions it had before…NOPE. Thieves refund the money you’ve stolen!

Why did Apple let these crooks blackjack users. Filmic Pro bought as an app not a subscription. Instead of creating new version Broken Spoon tries to trap existing users im subscription version. No more Filmic Pro for me and perhaps no more iPhones if this is the way the App Store will work in future.

Close to perfect for ease and creative control. I look forward to contributing a comprehensive review, but decided on the occasion of the recent update, to raise a few points. Most importantly for users: your presets may not work as expected after the update. My 240 fps > 24 fps slow motion preset lost the retiming preference, so I am stuck with a number of takes at just-plain-240 fps. I suggest that users test and if necessary fix and re-save any custom settings that they need to rely on. For FiLMiC Folks: Not only for occasions such as this, please include the ability to retime clips among the post functions that you offer under the Play menu. Too: •When saving copies at reduced resolutions, please do not resample professional 48 kHz audio to the amateur 44.1 kHz “CD” sample rate. •Please consider including choice of saving recompressed versions at the *same* pixel dimensions as the original clip, but at a lower data rate. In fact, choices of data rates and 2-pass encoding would be extremely useful for film makers needing to share rushes over limited data connections. •Perhaps Apple has a lock on use of the H.265 codec. Especially as we seem limited to low data rates on our iOS devices, please allow us to choose if we wish, to use H.265 “Extreme” as the capture Codec for *any* pixel dimensions and frame rate. •This applies to post options as well. I wanted to save and share a reduced-size 720p version of a (successful) H.265 1080p slow motion clip that I’d trimmed, and the re-compressed 720p H.264 clip was much larger than the original 1080p file. •A minor, but annoying matter: please save recompressed files in .mp4 or as suitable containers. In the real world, we can’t keep banging our heads against the wall with clients using inferior operating systems that balk at or provide inferior performance displaying .mov files. •Storage management is probably Apple’s issue. Long after I have offloaded all clips, deleted the originals and cleared Recently Deleted, iOS 13.6.1 Settings still attributes many gigabytes of file data to FiLMiC Pro… as it does for other apps even though *all* their data has been similarly removed. Only by deleting (not offloading) the app then downloading it again from the App Store am I able to “recover” space that iOS should have shown as free in the first place. As a side note, a few colleagues and one friend have observed that it’s been some years since a major version update to FiLMiC Pro, and they do not want to buy the app and necessary in-app purchases, when in their opinion their money will be “down the drain” when the “long overdue” update arrives. To me this defeats the business model of developers who depend on income from existing sales to help fund costs of developing new versions. Finally, as our phones are often more powerful than our computers made more than a few years ago, a (new, separate) transcoding utility which saves ProRes files to external media, would be superbly-useful for those of us who would like to have edit-ready files upon return from filming. Many thanks for a great and continually evolving film making tool.

Parfait. C’est application est parfaite pour mes besoins professionnels. De plus en plus de mises à jour qui le rend encore plus intéressant.

Garbage. So now we how to subscribe to use the app? Screw you. I’ll go with other competitors.

Gone elitist?. I have used and liked Filmic Pro in the past but it seems Filmic Pro has moved away from me with the high end pricing. Maybe if I was a pro filmmaker I could justify the expense. But I’m not. I think subscriptions should be based on whether you actually use the app in a given month. If you’re not using the app in that month then why should you have to pay? What does a camera app need to track its users? What need is there for that? If you are tracking my use of the app then you can see you have driven me away from your app by excessive subscription prices. I’m very suspicious of apps that employ tracking of its users. Especially if you are already charging a lot for people to use the app. I paid good money in the past for Filmic Pro and that should buy me some privacy.

Idk what to say.. Bought the app for $20 yet you gotta pay extra $20 to unlock the profile settings? 😖 And the profiles [ Flat and log ] wont let you shoot more 30fps. Hopefully they’ll update it to up 60fps🙏

Not enough for $50/month. I have used other apps that offer similar features for a one time purchase or less per month. $13 per week ($52 or more a month) seems outrageous, that’s just shy of what I pay for all 20 Adobe apps per month. Whoa.

This is a rip off. Stay away from this developer.

DO NOT BUY - Thieves; they rob you!!!. I literally purchased & unlocked every single feature this app had to offer!!! After an app update, when I open the app it suddenly started asking me for a yearly or weekly subscription! Would not let me use it at all, so much $$$ I spent to unlock everything and when I click on restore purchases it says nothing to restore here. I feel like they literally robbed me, took my $, then released an update that forces you to subscribe to use it!! What did I pay so much money for then to unlock every feature available in the app & now can’t use anything unless I pay your subscription!!!! Disgusting immoral business practice you stole my hard earned $ shame on you!!

Yikes. Love all the advanced features. Kind of pointless how many features and effects can be applied when the app doesn’t record properly. Spent the weekend taking multiple videos only to find out later that the video recording glitched while it kept recording audio. Then after the video finally caught up, the audio and video weren’t in sync. This was on five different videos. The Apple Watch preview often gets stuck on the first image it loads. Directors view function (I think that’s the name for remote screen viewing) is cool, but lags a little too much for a $30 app. Trimming function needs works, seems to only allow for trims/cuts of larger proportion. Doesn’t allow for editing out the 1-2 seconds of me looking at my watch while initiating recording. I’ll redownload and see what happens. If the same, I’ll be asking the App Store for a credit.

Anti-consumer Practices Ruined a Great App. Please don’t waste your money on this. Genuinely disgusting that you are forcing users who bought the app for full price to pay a subscription fee to export their footage, a feature that used to be included. I don’t care that you offer a discount for this, you took out a feature and are now upselling it as a “pro” feature. Any justification for this is made in bad faith and they know it, and they just don’t care.

Beware of Filmic’s shady practices. The v6 to v7 move was a scam. I paid for Filmic when it had a non-subscription model, and it was working great until the developer decided to update the app to v7 and to hold all my unexported files hostage unless I sign up for their subscription. Needless to say that I will not continue to use this app any longer.

I bought the app 2 years ago and now have to pay a monthly fee?!. You guys are worst then scammers!! I paid to get this "pro" app and now I have to pay a monthly fee to export the videos I make?!!! WOW! That’s extorsion and I want a refund for the 20$ I spent to buy the app!!!

Paid for a complete app and was turned into a subscription. This app WAS amazing, I used to use this app for work filming videos daily. Now it’s a paid service to have access to settings I already paid for. Disappointing to see, do better.

I can understand some things, but not all of them. I can understand why you won’t let filmic pro share video without a membership to their app. But what confuses me and makes me render it useless is that you can’t send any video you film to the camera roll. If you can’t save it to your camera, there’s no point filming something with filmic at all. It looked good and I know how much you time you spent on this app, but making your app useless without a membership is something I can’t buy.

Idea for future advancement. Once you have the multi camera feature working have you thought about making it record only on a specific amount of storage space. This could then be used as a dash cam as well as a great video recording tool and if you made an easy save feature for all cameras and it starts looping again then you would really have a multi use application. I like the functionality now, can’t wait for the multi camera capability!

CROOKS. Wow, absolute crooks. I bought the full app last year for some ridiculous price and now I HAVE TO SUBSCRIBE for a monthly fee to export files from it??

Tanks. Tankyou

Ripoff. Paid for the app a couple of years ago. Came back to use it and now want to charge me a subscription fee. Bad faith scam. Should have continued providing service for customers that paid for your app in good faith. Zero stars for this type of business practice.

Dont buy it. Guys this a good app but it’s a complete ripoff! Don’t get it! Filmic inc you guys gotta make your app cheaper. You can get camera apps like this but way freakin cheaper and some even free! Don’t waste you money on this app Filmic inc. Make your app cheaper! Jeez

don’t have long exposure. don’t have long exposure option for motion blur time lapse and light painting really disappointing from an app that cost 20$

Do not BUY. This used to be good , and now it sucks. Look somewhere else

These devs will screw you. they will find so many ways to nickel and dime you that it’s almost cheaper to go out and buy a dslr

Lost Videos. Switching from Filmic Legacy to Filmic Pro made me lose precious footage. Thanks Filmic.

STAY AWAY. shady scammers locking your video behind paywall. This app used to be my #1 recommendation. Not anymore

Scam/Shady Business Practice. Pushing out and phasing out existing owners of the app in order to make more money off the newcomers seems like a pretty un loyal thing to do. I understand software doesn’t write itself and funding needs to come from somewhere, but wouldn’t enabling the subscription model for new adopters and grandfathering existing owners not achieve the same result? This way, instead of tainting and destroying all your relationships with your existing customers, you’d strengthen relationships and then leverage the stoke of the community to attract new customers who would subsequently have to pay into the subscription since they are late adopters. The approach you guys have taken is such a slap in the face to those who have paid to get the app this far to begin with. I’ve owned it since 2016 and yet I’m treated like a newcomer who just found out about the app. Very shady business practice.

Why do I need internet access to open this app?. I understand that you want move your users to a subscription based service and have new features. But, I have already paid for the old version and I just find out that I can’t even open the app without it checking my subscription status. This is unacceptable!

Great. The app will randomly lose audio. It works fine for a while then one day I’ll arrive at home after a shoot and discover that there’s no audio. The “video only” button is off in the audio settings also so obviously a glitch.

👉 Are you looking for an Adsense alternative advertising platform?

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Lag when dialing in settings. I noticed that when I am adjusting settings for ISO, focus peaking, and H/M/L that the app lags, causing the image while framing a shot to move at a significant delay. Also I found the ability to record what you are capturing does nothing when you tap the record button. When attempting to back out of the controls it either does not respond or takes so long that you have to close the app, at which point I found that the audio I hear in my headphones continues after the app has been closed, as though everything to do with the app is suffering from this lag. Not sure if the devs encountered this so leaving a review so maybe it can be tweaked

Go pro!. Easily the best if not the greatest app in your arsenal of filmography. It’s like having two-face from Batman; it has a simplicity to it and when you want to go pro, bang it show its ugly side, there are more then advance features all within the same app. My only con I can express for this app is not having full support for my Shiyun smooth q. Given that most guys are gearing up with either the dji osmo or the shiyun smooth q you would think they would carry both brands to maximize profit but I sadly can’t say that. Other then that this app has replace my stock camera app. I would loudly suggest for anybody thinking of making this purchase to also consider acquiring LumaFusion. Great app guys keep it up!!!!!!

NOT RELIABLE. This is an absolutely amazing app if you unlock and pay for the extras, but let me say that this has some huge flaws. I just got done recording a project and not a single file saved audio alongside it. I need something reliable when I’m shooting and now I will NEVER use this again. That is a crucial mistake on their end and I’ll never get that moment back. I wasted several hours of shooting and will probably lose the client because of this. And before you say did you check the settings... I have a checklist I go over every time because there are errors bound to happen in mobile video, but something as basic as not recording audio? This app could potentially cost me an exponential amount compared to what I paid... DONT BUY IF YOU NEED RELIABILITY. It also just stops recording 4K and I have the iPhone XS Max so if you have dont have that one, DEFINITELY DONT BUY OR DOWNLOAD

Worth The Time. I love this app. I love how the developers are listening and continuing to frequently update the app to make it better. Yes, it can seem a little intimidating at first if you’re not already a dslr pro, but it’s completely worth putting in just a little bit of time getting to understand the interface and the functions that you now have control over, and then remembering to shoot even random videos with it. Before you know it, you’ll be feeling super comfortable shooting with it, and when you go back to a native camera app, you’ll miss FilmicPro, because it’s just that flipping good! Why wouldn’t you want to take advantage of every option your phone affords you to make the most beautiful and interesting video content that you can? Stop reading. Get the app. If you’re already a shooter and understand color grading, the extra $ to get the “cinematographer’s package”, is more than worth it. It’s a must if you plan on color grading your footage, so get that too. Seriously, these guys are great.

Yup. Taught foundational filmmaking with it and used it for this entire semester. Having shot with a Bolex for years and years, having this app in my pocket feels like shooting super 16 with nothing more than my copy of the ACH in my AC bag. Sigh, and it’s still all about knowing how to shoot, what a relief. Wish it had a real f-stop scale and an HUD of DOF as I shift focus and exposure. Rolling shutter seems to have disappeared. The crappy latitude typical with the iOS camera is expanded. And footage transcodes to MXF in the AVID beautifully. Sigh. Never thought I’d make movies again with all the time “convenient“ technology has stolen from me. Filmic pro is the real convenience. Add a single framing feature in app and I will actually sell my Bolex.

Great app, but issues connecting to the Osmo Mobile 2. I have been using the app now for a few days and so far love it. I am blown away at all the manual settings I can now take advantage of. My only complaint is that Filmic Pro states that it is compatible with the Osmo Mobile 2 but I have been having some connectivity problems. For some reason whenever I click the record button on the Osmo Mobile 2, instead of starting the recording on Filmic Pro, the app starts cycling through it’s different manual settings. Although this isn’t a huge issue, it would be nice to be able to take advantage of the record button on the Osmo Mobile 2.

Dynamic Tone Remapping Deal Breaker. It’s pretty hard to find info on this until you experience it for yourself. I have been informed, and I truly believe, that it is a fault of Apple and not Filmic, but here is the deal. Apparently as of iOS 13, and still in 14.0.1 thus far, Apple has forced it’s Dynamic Tone Remapping in video, and does not allow apps to turn it off. What does this mean? It means that even though you can lock white balance, ISO and shutter speed, if you have a dark scene and something brighter enters, the dark background will also adjust to be brighter. Basically, you can’t keep it locked in on a certain exposure no matter what you do. It makes the footage unusable. This effects almost every scene in one way or another. I really feel for Filmic Pro, but the app is ~$24 ($13 initially and another ~$13 in the app to make it actually useful), but it is currently useless unfortunately. I’m glad I didn’t start buying lenses and I really hope Apple fixes this, because besides that, this app with the iPhone 11pro would be really good. Filmic I’m sorry to leave you a poor review, but I hope you are calling and tweeting Apple every day until they fix this, because it is rendering your excellent app useless!

Oy vey…. I’m a filmmaker and I absolutely love this app. So much so that I bought the entire package. Today I open the app and it’s completely updated. No problem. But now that it’s upgraded to a different version, I have to subscribe monthly or yearly? For an app I already bought an entire package? Hold on, seriously? There was a message that said I would still have unlimited access to Version 6. Where is it at because I want to go back to that. I bought that package and I want to use it. I’m already paying subscriptions for so many other services that help with my filmmaking career. It was a blessing to not have any additional fees with FilmicPro. No I have to add another fee? This is insane!

Disappointment. It's disappointing to see that Filmic has implemented this new restriction on its one time buyers, limiting their access to certain features. I can understand how this change would be frustrating, especially if you had already purchased the one-time payment before. Filmic was once regarded as one of the best mobile video apps available, and its popularity was due to its user-friendly interface and advanced features. However, with the implementation of this new restriction, it seems that the app has taken a step back. While it's understandable that companies may need to make changes to their pricing models or add new features to keep up with competition, it's important for them to ensure that their loyal customers are not left behind. Overall, while the new locked features in Filmic may be upsetting, it's important to remember that the app still offers many valuable features that can help you create professional-quality videos on your mobile device. However, it's always disappointing to see a once-great app change in a way that negatively affects its users.

Presets Do Not Save. Basic settings such as: white balance and shutter lock do not save when creating a custom preset. So, even though you’ve gone through the work of saving these settings, you’ll still need to adjust them before each shot. I don’t know of one videographer who likes to change the shutter speed in the middle of a shot. And I have to go into the settings to lock the shutter speed each time... bogus! Also, there is no way to set a custom white balance. Once you’ve set your value and press the AWB button, it quickly changes to auto white balance and changes your set value. So there is no way to lock it on a set number. Just some suggestions. Overall, this is a great app with great potential.

Do NOT delete the updated app!. Do not delete the “new” app until you use it to download legacy first. When I found out they updated to a subscription model on my phone I deleted it to download legacy. Well you have to use the previously purchased app to download the legacy one otherwise they think you are a “new” user even though it’s in my app history AND I registered with them. Filmic is cool but not worth a subscription and since I can’t get the old one I bought to work anymore I am done with Filmic. A little peeved since I am out that money. Oh well. I would steer clear of this company unless you are rich rich rich or a rube. I know their customers did not give them positive feedback about a subscription model and they did it anyway. Money grab that’s all.

Needs stability fixes for ios17/ 15ProMax. Since I moved to the new iPhone 15 pro max there’s been several issues that never happen in the past - first is random crashes, which occur maybe once every 20 clips. This is when shooting 60 fps clips that will be retimed to 30 fps, the crash occurs at record stop. When opening the app again there are now two files, one retimed (and named “retimed”) and the original. Sometimes the retime doesn’t save and I just have the original speed clip and have to reshoot. Other issue is stabilization has just completely stopped functioning. The crop happens when changing stabilization strength but there is no actual stabilization happening.

Tiers. I signed up for Filmic @ $.99 weekly and purchased the remote for $9.99. I could never log back in I had to keep purchasing a subscription for $2.99 weekly. I contacted Filmic and they said Unfortunately some customers were unintentionally offered the same duration for all offers during this round the pricing but there is no reason to pay the higher price so I would recommend you pick the lowest price tier as they are otherwise the same which was $.99 weekly. All I needed to do was remote record iPhone from iPad. After experiencing more log in issues, I was told So while I do apologize for the confusion if you like to use the Filmic Pro the lowest price weekly option is $2.99 per week, as the $.99 option was never intended to be published. I hate that the .99 option was removed, just bad.

Don’t Subscribe. Was out attempting an impromptu vlog and was wondering why I needed a data connection to open the app…. Oh it’s because even though I bought the app they now wanted subscription money too! Not to mention you can use the “legacy” features but you can’t export the files etc…. So that’s useless. Either use your phone, or if you need more control just go buy a used camera…beats paying $$ yearly/weekly to still be limited to swiping actions. No thanks!!! Update- the developer responded and stated that FilmicPro Legacy will be available for all who purchased…..but after download it states it has been DISCONTINUED and links back to the app with a subscription plan. This app and dev company should be banned from the App Store. Utter garbage!

Not as advertised. This is a scam. I previously paid for Filmic Pro long ago. When I try to access it now, it tells me I can download Filmic Legacy (v6.0). When I do that, Filmic Legacy tells me I have to download Filmic Pro (v7.0), then go to Settings>Info>Download Filmic Legacy. However, the only way to get that far is to commit to at least a one week free trial for the subscription. So, I did that, navigated to Download Filmic Legacy … which I did … and then was told I had to download Filmic Pro (v7.0) … which I already did to download Filmic Legacy that tells me to go back to download Filmic Pro in order to download Filmic Legacy … which I already have on my iPad. So, it is either subscribe to an app that I have previously paid for or get stuck in a loop never being able to download an app that I was told I would still be able to use with no further charges. THIS IS A SCAM!

Cling and distortion issue. It is great app, I am using it in iPhone X. but It starts hanging just in 5 minutes. Even, end recording button doesn’t work. You can think, if I have taken great shot and video doesn’t get saved in gallery then it will ruin whole effort! After very few minutes, app start to cling. Sometimes app is shooting video in faster speed automatically. It has ruined many great shots. In this condition, video saved in the gallery looks like distorted, just like if you are playing high quality video in cheap phone. In the beginning I thought it is my phone hang issue. But it is not. Everything else is fine. Fix that please.

EDITED: USED to be amazing, but now…. EDITED: Okay, I have edited this to 3 stars now after the response from the team. I can still download Legacy Filmic Pro since I bought it. I’m glad that is still an option, and I was incorrect in part of my review. However, I still cannot stand subscription model apps like this. It’s completely unnecessary. Therefore, I’m sticking with 3 stars. Here is the original review: Switching to a subscription model and then not allowing people who already bought the app to export the videos they filmed? Not cool at all. I used to love this app. I used it all the time. It was amazing. But that’s not cool at all. I’ve never done a 1 star rating. But I have to for this app. Please remove the subscription requirement for people who already paid full price for your app. Horrible.

Shutter speed lock?. For anyone on the fence of buying this app, do it, it’s amazing and literally unlocks features on your phone that most of us would kill for to have in ALL mirrorless/DSLR cameras. It’s an amazing tool and well worth the money. With that said my only complaint would be for you guys to please change how the shutter speed lock/unlock currently functions and make it more failsafe or add an EXTRA step to unlock it. A setting that most of us would want to ALWAYS remain the same once set (shutter) is right in the exact vicinity of a setting that we will be constantly tapping and swiping to change throughout the shooting day (ISO) making the possibility of accidentally double tapping off the shutter lock very common.

Very Close to a Homerun.... The things that this app can do are amazing. But I’m gonna let the advertisements tell you about that. I’m here to talk about what I don’t like, and then I’ll fix my review accordingly. The EXPORT. I shoot my mobile videos in short clips so they’re easy to edit. I end up with a ton of small files. But Filmic can’t export very many at a time, and there is no confirmation as to whether the export was successful. So I’ll go to export 10 fifteen second clips and there will be no notifications as to if it even worked or not. Then when I go to check photos I will have exported 3 of them out of order. I’ve got the iPhone X. These things are the pinnacle of mobile technology. I know I’m pushing it to the max, but a confirmation of export or a defined file limit would be appreciated. Also, get a deal with Zhiyun, so I can do subject following on my gimbal in Filmic. I’d pay a few more bucks for a solid update. I know I’m already getting a lot of bang for my buck, and I’m thankful. But I’d love these to things to make it a truly elite product. Especially when there are free apps with similar capabilities. Thanks filmic!

Pro Control. No other smartphone app gives you this much control over your sound and exposure than Filmic Pro. I’ve been using it for over six months to record my audio through a wireless lav mic and using my phone as a second camera during video shoots. It’s been fantastic in this application, since we are a small company trying to appear bigger and more polished. The move to a paid, fuller featured model is understandable, but I miss some of the controls that are now missing from the free version. However, for the price, it’s still hard to beat.

Immoral Trash Program — Files Trapped! Avoid! Boo!. I paid for this program years ago and have always found accessing the files frustrating but the controls were sort of good but now after some time passed I'm trying to clear files off my phone and want my footage from filmic pro but it seems V7 is a nightmare for others... it doesn't appear in my camera-access in Settings > Privacy so now I have to spend hours figuring out how to bypass this rotten software, possibly even being forced to pay, to access gigabytes of old footage clogging up my phone that was always hard to access (had to manually duplicate and hope it turns up in the folders on my PC) but now here's another corporation squeezing its users for money. The executives in charge should be ashamed of themselves. I will always curse this app and the years I praised it. Shame! Shame! Shame!

Scammed! Bait and switch.. I got this app thinking, ok, its $15. But then I find out you have to fork over another $13 to get the full function of this app like flat profile and dynamic range, etc. After finding this out, I started researching and looking at reviews and this app has a bunch of bugs from minor annoyances to things that don’t make sense like not recording the actual frame rate that it says it’s recording on. I don’t mind paying for a good app but what’s with the hidden fees? That doesn’t inspire any confidence with this developers at all. It does quite the opposite. Who knows that they’re going to charge next. I feel scammed. I should have watched reviews on this app instead beforehand like I usually do but I have it a benefit of a doubt. I’m not doing that anymore. I want my money back and fvcku with your scams and hidden fees

Bait and Switch. Definitely don’t recommend. I purchased Filmic Pro for $15 in August for a project. The app worked fine although it was a bear trying to get the footage off my phone. In November I went back to the app to shoot a small project with a friend only to see that to download the footage from the app I already paid for I needed to add a subscription of $7 a week!?!? Talk about bait and switch! Not only is the new update confusing and harder to use than the original it now cost more money?!? Not only that, they make it incredibly hard to cancel once you’ve subscribed. Great business practice Filmic Pro, lure unsuspecting users in then jam them with a high subscription for a mediocre app. How do I cancel

Deceitful. Edited Thanks for reaching out! I followed instructions and have the legacy app that works just fine. I have changed the rating to a 5 star! ———————————— So I was running the previous version (prior to V7) and I noticed I wasn’t able to open the app when I was shooting outskirts without network… I thought it was a bug and then upgraded to V7 thinking the bugs would be fixed.. there was no WARNING that if I upgraded I would be forced to pay subscription. At the least you could have warned those who had purchased the app and the filmography kits etc with the warning that if we upgraded we would be forced to subscription OR at the less you could have mentioned it in the release update notes…Do not pay for subscription and show them what a mistake it was. You can switch to other apps such as the moment app or the DJI Mimo app (you don’t need a DJI gimbal for the app :).. or any other app out there).

Should’ve been added as a new app rather than an update.. Previous versions of the app were great. I paid for the full version years ago and it’s been my go-to video app for iPhone. It was always the app I recommend to people. V7 looks good too but I haven’t been able to use it yet because they switched payment models. Existing users like myself (who have already paid in full for the old app) got tricked into updating to this new version where it requires a subscription. If you don’t subscribe, the app is useless and there’s no way to go back to the old version that you’ve already paid for. This version should’ve been released as a new app in the store and the old version should’ve been kept in place for legacy users. Thoroughly disappointed they rolled it out this way.

A little miffed. I’ve heard great things about this app and seen a lot of the things people can make with it so when I got a little money for the holidays I decided I was going to buy it. At the cost of $15 I thought I was getting the full app. I’m not thrilled to find out I have to spend yet another $15 to unlock the full app. Yes I should have read up on this but it would’ve been nice to know that before buying the app and having to essentially buy it again to get it all. Still a great app, just not thrilled with how I found out about the Cinematographer Kit. I’m also aware of how much other filmmaking stuff costs so it’s not the price I’m unhappy with. I’m more than happy to pay $30 but it would’ve been nice to know I was going to need to pay it from the beginning.

Version 7 Is UNACCEPTABLE. Been a loyal user for a while. The camera definitely has far more functionality than the built-in iPhone app. But I’m done with this app as of version 7. This is now a membership app? It’s now just a rental app? They expect me to continuously pay every month and year four features that were free previously? Outrageous. Unacceptable. And even if you are content using just the free features, you are interrupted at every single launch with a screen asking you to pay for the pro version. Really though, I don’t know why anyone would be content with just the free version when you can’t even get your videos out of the app, they don’t even let you do that!! Worse still, I was told I could migrate my v7 videos to the v6 version for free - but I actually can’t. It’s not letting me even after following their directions. I’m done. I’ll look for another app or just deal with the iOS camera. When I need to shoot something more professionally I’ll use a real video camera. Dang it, FilmicPro. I just bought filters too. I suggested you to everyone with an iPhone. Now I’m going to tell people to avoid you. Uch.

Filmic Pro Just Scammed their own Customers. Filmic Pro was introduced as a App that you purchased. It was fantastic and effective. Very convenient for a lot of B roll material. It still always overheated your phone and always will. Now, anyone who owns the App found out that they switched to a subscription service that costs $250 a year . They’re not Adobe . They also have stolen your footage if you had footage on the App you owned while they upgraded they’re App. I have a lot footage still within the app and the App is holding it hostage and won’t allow me to down load the footage I shot when I owned the App. I have to now have my attorney contact this scam thieving company to retrieve a lot of footage they do not own . This company is now a legit scam company. Luckily have real pro gear. This app was a convenience but now it’s a silly and useless. Let me reiterate , their thieves

Upset. So, now I have to pay additional fees to be able to export the content I shot in the app nearly a year ago? I already paid for the app. You don’t get to hold my media hostage because you want extra money now. That is stealing. I want all of my prior content exported without any additional fees because this is unfaithful. I had fun hooking my anamorphic lenses up to my iPhone but this is an amateur move. If you bought capture drives from Arri, they wouldn’t restrict and charge you additional fees six months later to be able to use the content you already shot on them. It’s stealing. I paid a fixed price for something, used that something, and now the things I shot on that something are locked away until I pay some more money. Pretty upset about being taken advantage of.

Crashes constantly, frame skip constantly, corrupts most videos half way through. I have used this app connected to an iPhone XS and have lost so much footage that isn’t even removable unless you connect to a computer using iTunes. This means if it loses a shot that was long that I cannot even deleted the corrupted file to free space to keep recording with a computer handy. When it stops mid video, there’s No way to rescue the videos. Happens 2/3 times I use the app and anytime I record for more than five minutes. If it doesn’t fail when recording then it fails at recording with terrible frame skips and out of sync audio. Audio management with microphones is also atrocious with it almost impossible to get decent levels out of anything prosumer. Ridiculous considering this app costs three times more than other video apps.

Update: Wow! (update 7). Edit: To follow up on this, Cinema P3 is an excellent replacement, unlike Filmic... its a one time purchase and I'm very happy with it. Previous Review: Very disappointed with the update/upgrade process. Update 7 should never have replaced version 6 instead should have been a separate purchase/install. Lastly, Filmic was originally purchased because it wasn't a subscription based service. I will continue to use Filmic Legacy until I find another app to replace it. Edit: Just want to add, all these negative responses could have been avoided if you would have just release the app as a separate purchase/download rather than forcing everyone to upgrade then telling them you have to download the legacy app. Comes across as a bait and switch. Hopefully other companies will learn from this to never do this to their customers.

Freezing & audio out of sync. I’ve been using the app for about a year. And Im now using it with my iphone 11 pro max. Its been functioning great until about a month ago. The app constantly freezes while recording. Seriously, I wish I could show you guys. This happens multiple times a day now. Also, even worse, the audio and video is out of sync. Im not sure why, but I’ve tried different audio sources (built in mic, rodemicL, rode wireless) and they all have the same issue. Where as, no issues in the iphone stock camera app. I’ve checked settings and this happens in Filmic Pro regardless of the resolution and frame rate. The concept of Filmic Pro is great. But these bugs make the app unusable. I’ve lost countless footage due to these issues..

I love this app, but…. I’ve used Filmic Pro for years. I used it almost everyday. Recently the company sold to an app developer, bending spoons. They announced they’ll be switching to a subscription based service to use the app. Filmic Pro was not free initially anyhow, but very inexpensive. $50 a year is a bit steep. If you asked me to re pay $50 all together for the app, I would. But for a year indefinitely … nope. If you’re looking for an equally or, in my opinion, a better app, choose Cinema P3 Camera Pro. I honestly never knew it existed until I went searching for a Filmic Pro alternative. To my surprise, I actually prefer it over Filmic Pro anyhow. So, why pay $50 for a decent app when you could pay roughly $7 for a better app with even more customization. It’s a no brainer. It’s worth the $7 to try out. In fact, they offer a free trial.

Unreliable, Multiple Technical Problems. Not recommended for iPhone. Absolutely unreliable. I have an iPhone 7. This app does not function properly. But I have the most updated ios and app. Regardless of codec and space on the phone, it records only about 7 seconds at a time. It always freezes after a bit and the videos after freezing are not saved on the app. If you set it to save to your Camera Roll, it still saves it to the app and it is a tedious process to transfer it, especially for clips that never exceed 10 seconds. I don’t know what is causing all of these problems. Is it the manual white balance (the main reason why I purchased this app) or shooting in 4k that is struggling to interact with the iPhone? Is it the frame rate? It is not the codec. And absolutely no customer support. The potential for this app is great. But it just doesn’t work yet. Maybe one day it will. Currently, completely unreliable.

Another great app ruined by greed. I had to idea they were switching to a subscription model so I just hit upgrade and I was surprised to see I could not export my videos anymore unless I subscribed. I finally found the hidden menu item to allow me to download the legacy version but in the meantime all my settings and customizations are lost. So I ask the developers, how many legacy users are you expecting to retain because by the latest reviews it seems you are loosing a lot of them including myself. Wouldn’t it have been better to release a new Filmic app with the subscription model and allow anyone who wishes to upgrade to make the decision to upgrade? After all if v7 was such a great upgrade you would have nothing to worry about.

Great but needs a few features. I have been using this app for years and I love it, but it needs a few features. Number one the ability to switch between phone cameras at the push of a button on the main screen, not buried in a menu. Even better would be the ability to switch between different phone cameras without having to stop recording as can be done on the native iPhone camera app. Number two is independent volume controls of the left and right audio channels. Finally, and this may not be the fault of the app, but monitoring sound with wired headphones has a small latency delay. It’s annoying but not a dealbreaker. Wish there was someway to fix it.

Great app with a major flaw. This app has great features, an attractive and decently user friendly UI, but that’s where this app stops being good. After using this app several times, 2 major issues have come up. First, and the worst, it will randomly stop recording in the middle of a shot for no reason whatsoever. I shoot my footage by myself doing Jeep DIY so sometimes I can’t redo my shots when I complete my work that I am trying to film and since I shoot alone, I have no idea it has stopped filming until I am done with the scene and check my footage. Another major issue is sometimes the footage is choppy on playback. I have transferred the footage out of the app and even to my computer and it remains choppy so it’s how the app recorded the video for the footage. I am horribly disappointed in this app for what I paid for it.

subscription👎 - moving on to ProMovie Recorder. i understand moving to the subscription model. but i can’t board that train with you. i’m fine paying for new features in major releases, (capitalism is awesome) but not paying every second for an app, wether i use it that week or not. i’ll be moving on to support other developers. I’m currently liking ProMovie Recorder and at a couple bucks, it’s one of the cheaper alternatives. (over the years i’ve bought alot of camera apps to support developers, even tho i don’t use them every week) …Developers, if you must do a subscription model, also put a high lifetime buy-in. if the app is good enough to justify the high price, people like me will pay. I’m simply unwilling to pay every second for an app on my phone.

Blackmagic Camera is free and feature packed!. v7 not worth $50/year or $2.99/week. Blackmagic Camera is free! HOORAY! Good riddance Filmic Pro and your obscene business model! With Filmic Pro, up to version 6, I bought all the in-app purchases because I believed in what they were doing and I wanted to support a great indie iOS app. Now there’s Filmic Legacy, which is just that— a dead product that’s never going to get the attention to new features v7 does. Don’t waste your time. Filmic Pro was bought in September 2022, by a company called Bending Spoons, who have clearly decided to twist the screws on the user base. From nothing to $50/year? REALLY? There were no possible options between $0 and $50? I hope this experiment fails. What an utter disappointment. Filmic Pro had SUCH good will among its user base, now it’s destroyed it all for profits.

NEW OWNERS OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY. You either have to be a complete idiot with price modeling business theory, or simply filled with capitalistic greed in order to charge $12 a month for a mobile app…i mean like, come on. $150 a year?…….You guys are charging the price of what Adobe charges for some of their desktop applications, and you guys are nowhere near as advanced, or have as many features as other competing flagship softwares. Literally, $150 a year…I’ll tell you this. Whoever approved that financial model. Y’all need to fire him/her. Whether that be the CEO, CFO, VP of Sales, etc. Because that business move, it’s literally killing your current consumers, and any future consumers. Guarantee it from the looks of your Balance Sheet and Income State QoQ and YoY trends lol. Good luck to what was once a great app, and a great company.

Pros and Cons:. Pro: I love this app, it works so well for filming. It takes a bit to understand all the functions but once you do, you can create beautiful and functional videos. It is well worth the purchase price for the app itself. Con: With the new update you have to pay a subscription to download your videos and that feels really scummy. So I can make videos but they can only sit in the app unless I pay you? What a crappy thing to do to your loyal customers. I’ve spent hours learning your app and I love it, but now I don’t know that I’ll even keep using it (and I definitely won’t recommend it anymore) because of how clear it is to me that you don’t care about your users, you only care about money.

Issue with Filmic Pro and iPhone X/XS Max. For some reason, there is something going awfully wrong, between the iPhone X/XS and Filmic Pro. The company has said they know about it and have issued the fix for it. But, whatever the fix was, that they think was the problem, in no way fixed our problem. I have a 5 camera set up, using 2 iPhones. I use my iPhone 6 Plus, to remotely control both the 7 Plus and the XS Max. 7 Plus, no issues. XS Max, sometimes, it’ll last a full 2.5 hour shoot. Sometimes, it’ll last only a few minutes. And, sometimes, it’ll last a good 20-30 minutes. It’ll continue recording the audio, even though no video has been captured, once it freezes.

Scummy subscription practice. Suddenly Filmic, an app that was paid upfront for, decided it was going to change to a subscription model. I get the need for reoccurring revenue, I really do, but switching an app that was paid up front for to a subscription model is inexcusable. If you want to change to a subscription model, make it a new app (not an update to the existing version) and then make this app the legacy version. Instead Filmic did the exact opposite. Updating the paid app to a subscription and hiding any mention of the legacy version, the was again, paid up front for, behind multiple menus. Banking on the existing apps user base converting, the apps its notoriety, as well as all the articles that link this old/new version to garner subs. Not cool, Very scummy, Bait and switch, Inexcusable and I’m pretty sure a violation of the app stores policies.

Completely Broken. Unlike most users, the announcement of a subscription based model didn’t bother me at first – a frequently updated software service has to keep the lights running after purchases start to plateau. However, I would’ve much rather preferred to purchase an annual upgrade in the form of a new app or in-app purchase, rather than pay TWICE my original purchase cost for a yearly subscription with what has so far managed to provide a meager list of performance enhancements, that only seem to have decreased software performance from my (anecdotal) user experience. The sort of rent-seeking behavior this program has shifted to is shockingly tasteless given the number of bugs and crashes I’ve experienced. What adds insult to injury is the offer for the V6 legacy application. When I first opened V7 after updating, I was grateful to see this was offered; but after declining the subscription, my app completely freezes — I’m unable to even open my settings to download the legacy app that’s supposedly being offered to me. This is a disaster of a roll out and Filmic needs to do better.

Great features poor performance. I love that this app is able to shoot in log or flat and 24 FPS + all the color settings. Unfortunately I spent hours preparing multiple scenes and musicians to take footage for a music video. Everything seemed to be going great until we handed the footage to the editor. Turns out most of the files are garbage. Some are as bad as roughy 5 fps and stay stuck on the same frame at some moments, not the 24 fps as we had selected in the app. We will have reschedule and spend a whole other day to reshoot almost everything and possibly make us miss a deadline. This happened on a 128GB iPhone 6s. For the price of this app I don’t think I should have had to assume the footage was garbage. I should have been notified that instant that footage was being shot at a different frame rate than selected.

Stitch frustrating on iPad. I want to love it, but it doesn’t work well for one thing I need it for: Quick stitched social media selfie videos made on my iPad. It has a stitch feature, but the record/pause button is in the far right bottom corner of the screen, so my eye has to track all the way down for me to see where to tap it. And, it often doesn’t respond to my first or even second tap, like it’s not registering unless I tap it exactly right. I can’t for the life of me figure out what’s different between a successful and unsuccessful tap. If I was using this on a smaller device, or if it allowed different positions for the record button, it would probably be great, but as it is I can’t use it for my most-needed, albeit very simple, use case. 😞

Bugs all over. I am completely up to date on my software and am on iPhone Xs. Got excited to film and use the LOG and other color filters to find out it’s another 15$. Didn’t know I had to go through extreme details reading through the entire descriptions of the product to later find out you have to buy more add ons. So I immediately spend 30$ on this app. I pull it up and record 2 mins on 4k 60 fps and raise the quality too..which is another reason I was buying it...It then freezes up. Do it again, minute and a half through..same thing. Do shorter vids and then it finally works. Do another few long ones and now the videos just disappeared and I had actually caught great footage that is now gone and not clickable in the preview window...terrible experience thus far. Maybe if you guys refund me I’ll change my review...But I’m gonna blast out bad reviews on this till I do :)

Stellar app to use for filming on a smartphone. Even if it uses the smartphone camera and built in sensor for the filming, I've not seen an app where you get the chance to further customize settings for it. Though the Camera app makes for easy click-and-go, FILMIC PRO really let's you take great video with just a tap on my smartphone for the moments I want to capture. Different capture settings gives you options to customize how you want to capture the scene. Great thing with the app is that it also works with the Rode Microphone Pro, so you’ll also get equally good audio.

Only ruins your shots when they matter most. There are many things that have ruined my shots and with this app, but by far the most demonic, ludicrous, insane “feature” in this evil piece of software is a tiny little button that quite conveniently you can’t disable. It’s a tiny arrow that appears when you’re adjusting shutter speed. if you tap it while filming in the sun, inevitably accidentally, will make it its life’s mission to ensure that your shot is so blown out you’d think an atomic bomb went off in your frame. The worst part about it is that no matter how hard you fight it, it WILL achieve its agenda at a nice leisurely pace. This has ruined not one, but 3 critical shots that I can’t get back. I hope whoever designed this button knows the immense damage they have inflicted on this earth. I award them no points and my god have mercy on their soul.

Multi-cam or multi-scam?. I rushed to purchase this after seeing the multicam demo in Apple’s announcement video last year as soon as my new 11 pro arrived. Then I discovered the feature doesn’t exist yet. The blog said “coming by year end” though, so that didn’t sound bad. Then the year ended with no product update. Note their website says they “hope release it as soon as possible.” Well I would hope so! I also hope they realize that is in no way an answer. Otherwise the app is quite good. Some features are unacceptable poor, though. Like the media tray that displays three files at a time, among other issues. This app is not cheap. It should be better. And I sure wish the feature that entice me to purchase it would be released.
