After the latest updated, and a complete uninstall of the app (all root files and all) it seems to be working fine. External storage isn't compatible apparently so I'm just not going to try that anymore. Will bump up to 5 stars when a 60fps option becomes available. I'd give 10 stars if it could go to 120fps.

Would be a great app if it didn't crash every two seconds. Bought the full version but unfortunately on my S22 Ultra it usually crashes every two seconds, especially if I swipe to switch to the selfie camera (but also with the main one). I could barely use the app for a few minutes in one week to record few minutes of video without crashing.

It is one of the best app I've got during Lockdown to fulfill my recording requirement. I have given four stars only because it lags on the pause feature while recording. This feature is very much required to take continuous video of an event. Else I've to do it on editing table by taking many videos of an event. Creators kindly take it as my humble request. Thank you for your kind support.

Bluetooth for microphone capture does work. updated version of this software STILL requires using 'camera compatibility mode' (lite/free version DOES NOT).. (Motorola phone, Samsung seems to work, but always did...again- free demo/trial version works but the paid for Pro upgrade is basically useless to me (lacks HDR which was main reason for using phone to record in first place(epic fail)) Uninstall/reinstall remembers my default setting (eg "use cam compatibility mode"). (Needs more work!!)

My old phone was limited & as a professional photographer, I wanted to be able to change settings. Now I've installed on a 5G phone. The phone's app is nice, but still doesn't give the control that this app does. I regularly use it for Tiktok 👍 I can understand why there are no more updates, it's already the best at what it does, at least for the phone I have. What it doesn't do, is recognise the wider 2nd back camera or stablise - acceptable losses 🤷🏻♂️ NOTE: no adverts 🥳 RECOMMENDED 👍

The app is very good, I've been using it for years. The new manual focus method is very comfortable. Sadly, after the last update, it doesn't let me actually change the saving location to sd card, it only does it "for show". 3 stars for this exact reason, I will immediately change it to 5 as soon as the developers fix this issue. Thank you.

Had lot of expectation from the app but it failed to meet it. I am facing following issues; 1. It keeps crashing when I choose "Face Detection". 2. I don't see an option to record with frame rates higher than 30fps, which is quite weird as I am able to do so with Native Camera and Open Camera apps. 3. The audio quality is very poor. Now the biggest reason of giving it just 1 star is it's support. I mailed them on 9th Mar 2020 but not even received an acknowledgement reply yet.

I am so pissed off - I paid and downloaded this app because it allows manual focus management, it works fine for my purposes, but when I stop recording, it says "The video is too short to be saved", so I have no video at my phone after all. What the hell is that? What is meaning of it? I missed so many clips from my vacation because of this... Very disappointed!

I really like this app, but I have a couple things that I'm not sure if it is user issue or not. 1) when using a Bluetooth mic it works great on the rear camera, when I switch to the front camera the Bluetooth mic no longer works. It switches to the internal mic. Is this a bug or something I am doing wrong. 2) using on my pixel 2 XL the front camera works well, but on my Galaxy S8+ the front camera is only a square 4:3 it won't goto 16:9. I may have that set won't also.

Hey you guys the app is great! If you guys could address one problem I've found with it though. The manual focus only seems to work for about 20 seconds when I'm adjusting it. And after using it for a bit longer now the manual focus seems to not work at all. And that was the only reason I paid for the full app :(. I'm using a samsung note 8. Hope you guys can fix this soon thanks.

Doesn't save on screen settings such as ISO but appears to so they have to be changed and reset. Also doesn't have an option to force re-autofocus when focus is lost or even a timer so the screen has to be tapped. Unfortunately it's the best ad free program out there. - Note 3

Well, just installed it on my Samsung Note 9. The main reason for buying this app is because it can use bluetooth headset microphone as audio source. This feature works well. As far as video goes, this app is unable to record 60 FPS videos which makes it inferior to other apps, such as stock Samsung video app. For that reason, i have given it just 3 stars.

It's pretty decent with my phone. I wished it didn't "frame-drop" when you shoot at 24fps or 30fps. Like when you shoot at 24fps in one shot, then in the next shot 23 fps. Kinda sucks. Plenty of cons when it comes to this. It's not the best, but it's enough for the newbie-filmmaker to chew on 'til they eventually grow out of it. Not that you should be investing that kind of money to this when starting out though. I'd use the free-version instead.

This app has strongly depreciated over the years. With all the new features of much stronger camera hardware three years later, this app has yet to show a single update in the nearly three years past. It was very good for what it was several years ago, but falls very short now. Save your money for a project that's ongoing.

Paid for it and I can't even use it. Won't record on 4K it glitches out every single time I try to record something. If I'm able to record something is only on 1:1 ratio when crashes after I try to review what I just recorded it. Unusable at this moment. Too bad the company it can't keep up with its internet glory of this app. Lots of Bugs! Not worth it unless they get it fixed. Galaxy Note8

Strange. I tried out the free version, and it had four 4:3 resolutions, out of 12 free, and showed five more 4:3 resolutions as available in the pro version, out of eleven more.Then I bought the paid version, and it only has one 4:3, the lowest from the free version, out of seven total. It does have some 16:9 options that are marked "Pro" in the free version, so I'm not going to claw my $2.49 back. And yet ... I was looking at this app after seeing a reference to it supporting anamorphic accessory lenses (from Moment, Sirui, Moondog, et al), which doesn't seem to be the case. Not a deal breaker either, but still a shame. Given the five+ years since the last update, this is what it is. Not much point in hoping for more coming in an update.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Was in the middle of shooting a project when my DSLR malfunctioned and left me dead in the water without a camera. Found this app recommended by "professionals". Installed it and video came out with a couple frames missing causing it to skip around and one of the shots the colors came out all wrong. Luckily it was on sale to $2.49 instead of the original price. I wanted an app where I can monitor the audio. I should've just used the Samsung Camera app instead.

Used to be my go-to app for video, not sure what they did to it. Should've left it alone! Seems unstable now & can't get Locked Focus button to disable, even after reinstall. In other words, will not continuous focus on pt so pretty useless unless you constantly tap to change focus which in many cases isn't feasible. Paid app & no support on this issue? Anyone?

Seems like a nice app, but when playing back the recorded video it plays just the audio with the first frame of the video as a still frame, and then when the video player progress bar shows that the clip is finished playing, the video starts playing, with no audio. I have tried it several times at several resolutions, and in the regular Android video player as well as through Photos, and they all do the same thing. I purchased this for record from Bluetooth capability. On a Galaxy S7.

Abandoned by the developer. App is very slow / unresponsive to most commands like tapping buttons, starting to record, etc. I get a warning when launching for the first time that this app was built for an earlier Android system than I'm using. Last update was in 2015, - 'looks like this app has been abandoned by the developer. I wish I had noticed this before buying it. Apps that are no longer supported shouldn't cost $$. Too bad! This has the main feature I needed - Bluetooth mic support.
