1/5Should be free
There is no reason at all for this app to be two dollars, if somebody told me they had the choice of buying this app or two dollars worth of crack, I would tell them to buy the crack at least then they might feel a small glimmer of happiness witch is more then this piece of trash app could ever offer.

5/5Best VX
Best video app for skateboarding quality delivered is the best! Frame rates are great 24 and 60 at 4K. One and Only thing I would add is on/off button for the video light to be able to film at night or in dark areas. Maybe audio in controller but , I can live without any of those two things video app is perfect

3/5iPhone 16 incompatible
Hey guys! I love the app, it was perfect for my iPhone 11, and I do mean perfect. I got an iPhone 16 Plus, and the camera in the death lens app is all blurry when doing close up shots, tried changing all the settings with no luck. Please fix this guys, the iPhones will never stop updating unfortunately!

5/5Very convenient for skaters filming for fun on phones
Probably the best and easiest option for phone fisheye filming. Easy to operate, and it’s not like you have to have the death lens fisheye. You can use any fisheye you want, and also long lens is pretty smooth 💯👍🏼

5/5I like it
The app is easy to use and works great with the deathlens. Also customer support has been quick and helpful when I changed some settings and couldn’t figure out what I did lol
