Review summary

Reviewers consistently praise the app's feature-rich toolkit and LUT-driven workflow, noting it can turn an iPhone into a professional camera. However, language/localization is a recurring complaint, with several reviews reporting no language options or trouble switching languages, especially for Chinese. Overall, the app is powerful and feature-packed but localization gaps hinder non-English users; other stability or feature-gap complaints are less frequent in this set.

Pros

Comprehensive feature set with LUTs and professional camera controls.
Ease of use and learning curve; once understood, the app feels powerful and pro.
Transforms the iPhone into a capable professional filming tool with broad controls and options.
Strong LUT support that enhances color grading and workflows.

Cons

Localization issues: lack of language options and difficulty switching display language across reviews (notably Chinese).

2026-08-12	Or*****	I'm trying to move from MoviePro to this app, but there a couple of crucial features missing. 1. No easy way to record straight to camera roll (only). It should be a menu selection. 2. No way to record from the front and rear camera at the same time. MoviePro will produce two separate files. 3. No easy way to offer suggestions. You need to be a rocket scientist to use the BlackMagic website. Making things more complex is easy. Making complex things simple... that's the hard part (as Apple has so brilliantly showed us for years).

2026-08-12	ac*****	My iPhone says no when I try to zoom so I use BlackMagic to make it work. Awesome software completely free. It’s what pros use. They basically had to build the software to power their hardware so they give it away. Nothing even shady about the free software. How often can you say that in 2026?

2026-08-04	Go*****	Gives me the control I want. If you know how to use your camera and you can learn it pretty quick, but there are a lot of settings to go through that said it’s a lot of power on the phone. Also, I just love black magic design. It’s the only tech company I truly can say I support. Grant Petty is the man.
