Overall I really like this app. It could be 5 stars but there are a few little annoying things and 1 big annoying thing that drive me nuts. That big thing is setting the exposure. The general idea of the interface is nice unless you want to dial in a specific value because it’s not precise enough. If I want ISO 200 to match my main DSLR settings, it’s not hard to get 198 or 203 but getting 200 is nearly impossible. What makes it more annoying is that it would be so easy to avoid. Option 1: make the dial less sensitive Option 2: have the dial snap to the main ISO values that are on every other camera (200, 400, 600 etc) Option 3: tap and hold on the dial or the numbers and have a box pop up where I can type in the value I want. As for the little annoying thing, one happened when I did finally manage to get the dial to ISO200 so tried to save it as a preset to avoid the frustration next time. Apparently exposure doesn’t save as a preset. If you offer the option of saving setting, save ALL the setting, not just the ones you decide are relevant. Like I said, I like the app, it could be great but it seems to lack some common sense which result in making it frustrating to use. Ok, rant over.

I have recently started “hobbying” with video recording and quickly realised the limitations with the native camera app on iPhone (X) and so was deciding on a new camera, but came across some reviews for this app on iPhone and thought I would give it a go. As I say am am a beginner but the increase in quality of video when using this app is clearly evident immediately. This app gives you much more customisable options over how you film including frame rates, quality, time lapse intervals, iso, shutter speed, white balance and much more. There is a built in colour optimisation if you need it on the go, however you can set your colour grading options to flat so that your colours can be brought out in post production if you use external software. All in all I would highly recommend this app for anyone who wants to give their videos a pro touch when filming with a smartphone. If you are worried about the price tag, don’t be. I feel the value you get is evident in the picture quality and will have your phone punching above its weight class as far as videos go, how much would you spend on a new camera?

Bought the app, paid what was asked at the time only to now find, as many others have mentioned that it’s been changed to a subscription model. I wasn’t warned about this, I only found out when I opened the app to use while out. I was presented by a message telling me I had to subscribe to get my video. It did point out I could use the legacy app, which you have to download as a separate app, but that was no use to me in the remote area I was in so I effectively couldn’t use it. I have also noted that I have to have a connection for the app to work. Thats no good to me. Filming in the outdoors in remote places, I am often without a decent connection. I have now deleted Filmic Pro and won’t be bothering with it again which is a shame as it was a good app. I would advise anyone looking to buy to look elsewhere. Running Filmic Pro has just become very expensive and although its good, there are other good options which cost far less.
