Ratings and reviews

This app works great on my Galaxy devices. On my Xperia, for whatever reason the app does not use the proper sensor information when trying to use the wide angle. It instead is displaying the 1x the sensor information instead of the .7x like it should be. Remote camera is also very buggy on the Xperia 1 Mark 3 when sending. The controller seems to be receiving a very buggy feed and it cuts out mid transmission or sometimes after I change a setting. Also Missing 4K 120fps on the main sensor.

Seems to be problematic on Android (Oppo Find X8 Pro), which probably isn't BlackMagic's fault. White balance is always significantly off, both basic balance and tint, no matter whether I use manual or auto. Frame rates above 60 play back at incorrect rate, but that can be fixed in post. Oh well -- back to iOS. 🙃

Seems like a very handy tool for video work. Has good set of options to choose from, all seem to work well with my S22 Ultra. I have one main issue, for a "camera app", it doesn't take photos. I've been through every potential spot, and no way to take a picture. Had a freezing issue with going into "media" to view videos taken. For some reason it was just receiving a black screen, like stuck between "Camera" and "Media". Seems to be working now, time will tell.
