User Reviews

The app is praised for strong film emulations, realistic grain, and 4K open-gate footage that film enthusiasts value. However, multiple reviews point to a costly subscription, a confusing and brittle UI, stability problems, media-saving challenges, and unreliable real-time previews that hamper daily workflows.

Pros

Realistic film emulations with adjustable grain that deliver authentic cinematic looks.
4K open-gate video capability delivering cinematic framing and quality.
Distinctive film stocks/recipes that appeal to film-look enthusiasts (anamorphic/XPAN style options).
High-quality photo results and simulations that complement video features.

Cons

Mandatory subscription model with ongoing cost and no clear one-time purchase option.
Cumbersome UI/UX and navigation that many users find confusing, with missing back/navigation controls.
Stability and performance issues, including frequent crashes, freezes, and lag.
Difficulties saving/exporting media and managing the gallery within the app, plus unclear sharing options.
Real-time preview issues, including LUTs causing pitch-black screens, desqueeze inconsistencies, and occasional login/authentication glitches.

Recent reviews

Needs improvement.

I love your app and love the simulations and how I have been able to record some great videos with it, but please improve your UX. Example, when I am on the film emulation screen, how do I go back to the camera view? There is no back arrow no indicator, nothing. Fix this please. It should be an easy fx.
