3/5Pretty good app. Still got a bit of tweaking left.
Been using the app whenever I have a lens I haven't scratched. Features are great. Especially the auto focus control. Turning that off and getting rid of the vignette shake (only for the fisheye, wide angle isn't affected. I've used both) is awesome. But when I look through the footy, if I wanna swipe back to the previous clip it displays a blank screen and I have to re-enter the library of footy to see it. No biggie. Also sometimes the recording symbol is stuck looping as if I'm hitting record over n over again. Also the light exposure gets SUPER blown out even with exposure locked. Maybe I don't know what I'm doing but using my regular camera (iPhone 6S) app gets rid of that problem for the most part. Would recommend this all for sure though.

3/5Needs some bugs fixed
App is nice to use other than when trying to view footy. When looking through each clip sometimes a black screen will appear instead of the clip causing the app to close out majority of the time if you try to click anything option on the right side (like save clip etc). Please fix this.

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

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
