## Review summary

Users praise CineScope for its cinematic feature set—especially aspect-ratio control, manual controls, RAW support, and helpful updates—yet repeatedly cite stability and export issues, including crashes and failed saves. Limited 4K/24p options and lack of dedicated media organization are common complaints. The app is valued for its filmmaking workflow, but stability and media management improvements are the top requested fixes.

### Pros

- Flexible aspect ratio controls including anamorphic and custom ratios (e.g., 2.39:1, 2.20:1) for wide cinematic framing.
- Manual controls such as focus adjustment, exposure, and color tone options enhance creative control.
- RAW photo support and variable resolutions/frame rates for cinematic capture.
- Valued by cinematographers for storyboarding and crafting film-like narratives on mobile.
- Recent updates and UI improvements expand capabilities and refine the user experience.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability, especially when stopping recording or saving videos.
- Repeated issues with saving/exporting: unable to save videos or recordings failing to save.
- Limited video quality options (no 4K 24p; many users experience 720p/1080p limits) and general framerate/resolution limitations.
- Inability to organize media easily (no option to save into a dedicated CineScope album/folder; media mixing with personal photos).
- Some stability-related media viewing problems within the app (loading/viewing photos can fail or show first-image behavior)
