Terrible experience. The app was advertised as pay once to own, nobody mentioned paying for newer versions. Avoid this app at all costs. Edit: I know I can download the legacy version, but that's not the point. Edit 2: you should have been upfront with that. The biggest reason why most of your users purchased the software was because they thought it was lifetime, not lifetime for that one particular version. Subscriptions for a camera software? I would rate this 0 if I could.

I like the stting and the colora and every thing that you can do with this app. The only problem that I have is the in my note 9 I haven't be able to recor more than 24 or 30 frames. It has an option of 120 and when I switch to that. The screen goes black. I wish I was able to record and more than just the 2 frame rates that I do cause I would lile to have some slow motion in my footage. I hope you take that in consideration

I originally bought filmicProba couple of years ago to shoot the odd project here and there. I also paid for some extra film looks. Today, I open the app and find that it's now subscription only. If I skip this, I am presented with a horrible UI with the facility to export my clips now blocked unless I subscribe. The subscription model is bloody expensive. I shall uninstall and find something different. Corporate greed at play again.

I just wanted to provide an update to what I wrote a month ago (below), as I've been using Filmic Pro quite a bit in that time and have a much better handle on how it performs. I've increased my rating to a four, as once you get used to it, it's really a very good app. I normally use a BMPCC4K and edit in DaVinci Resolve and have used results from my phone in Resolve and I'm quite pleased as to how I can integrate video from my phone with video from my BMPCC4K. Despite the significant differences between the two cameras, the results can blend in well. I'm still hoping that Filmic Pro can update the app to allow shutter angle as a default setting with all fps choices. Give me that and it's a five star app. I just bought both the Filmic Pro and the Cinematographer Kit for my Xiaomi Redmi Note 9s and both work perfectly. A quick test with the Evaluator app indicated that all would be good and so it was. The only thing I can't work out is how to get the focus circle and exposure square both to appear in the centre of the screen on start up and the exposure square to be a bit larger. Additionally, I'm not sure whether the app sets the shutter angle automatically to 180 degrees, for when I open the manual control, the shutter speed is never twice the fps, but usually much lower. After a couple of days use, there are two issues that disappoint greatly. Firstly, the fact that you can't set a shutter angle and have it default to 180 degrees of the fps set is a huge omission. Secondly, whenever you set shutter speed/ISO, and return to the main screen, the settings revert to what it was before adjusting or you can't refocus/re-expose. Two major shortfalls for a pro app. I wanted to provide an update on this app. Firstly, other than the issues I noted, this app really does make the phone video work so much better. Editing in DaVinci Resolve produces excellent results and would be outstanding if the camera in the phone was one of the higher end ones. I've also been in contact with Filmic Pro and explained my issues, hopefully more clearly. If they can implement what I've suggested, then this app will offer features similar to a cinema camera.

Please set up a direct download link to the old version instead of installing the new version, then go through settings to download the old version. I paid for the lifetime option and I perfer not to go the subscription route. I hope the video app didn't go subscription also. I spend so much money, purchased all of your products, film, photo, remote and I want access to them without v7 trying to up sell me on a subscription. Where is your loyalty and support to your customers?

I bought the pro version and all of a sudden I'm getting an update that says the one I bought just became a legacy version and I have to pay a subscription for the new version. Updates are important, especially when you need support for hardware like gimbals. It's the reason why I made that "one time" payment. I have read your response and my stance still stands. You decided to sell the app for a one-time purchase, and with that comes the expectation of lifetime updates. Feels like a scam
