1. 5/5Better than Filmic Pro

   I've used a lot of apps for shooting video for online and sales. This app is my go to app for consistent, high quality shooting. The full manual controls are easily accessible, as if they paid attention to that human interface design element in a big way. The huge issue that made me switch from Filmic pro to this one was that Filmic pro had a problem with making the screen dim dramatically after a few minutes of shooting. I shoot with 2 iPhones and an iPad with add on lenses, and the screen dimming is consistent across all devices regardless the screen or others setting on the devices or in the app. This makes Filmic pro nearly unusable in bright, natural lighting after several minutes. ProMovie doesn't have this problem at all. It even has screen brightness sliders in the app itself. It excels in every way, though I do have one request. The data rate on final shots are not always in the stated range. High quality will get you sometimes 100mbps, sometimes less - though the quality remains high, I would like it to reflect the settings more accurately. Other than that, this is my mainstay shooter now. Quite pleased with it.

2. 5/5My first video app I’ve bought. Love it.

   I am a professional filmmaker. I wanted to use my cell phone to shoot a brand new series that I am producing and editing and hopefully selling to a production company or network. I wanted to use my cell phone as opposed to fussing with my Canon camera and lenses. So I was researching, watching videos and reading reviews for weeks and everyone was saying that Filmic Pro was the app to use. At $15 for the app or $20 for the app plus the remote app, I didn’t want to spend that money for an application. So kept digging and found Pro Movie. The morning of my shoot, I found a video where a guy did a side-by-side comparison with filmic pro and pro movie. I watched it while showering and getting dressed. Lol. He went to each feature and then shot video in the exact same location to compare apples with apples. He said he preferred pro movie over filmic pro. I love how the footage looked and decided to get Pro Movie. And at $2.99, it was right up my alley. I downloaded it while I was on set and learned it before I did my first shot. It is super easy to use, the footage is dynamic and it is user-friendly. I do recommend having an external microphone because the audio may not be to the level that you want. This Is definitely for those who want achieve professional looking video without the price and burden of buying a $1000 camera plus lenses, who want to use their cell phones and want to use a super easy app.

3. 2/5No Stereo Audio Support?!

   Don’t get me wrong, the app allows me to film superb videos in 4K 60fps, which by itself, is amazing. But the fact that—while high quality—only mono audio is supported, this makes me give it less stars. I mean, maybe it’s just the fact that I’m a novice, but in all my time consuming 4K content, I have yet to come across a well produced 4K video with JUST MONO AUDIO. I thought we were long past the days where mono was the acceptable standard, what with Dolby Atmos just announced (at the time of this review) for the Apple TV 4K’s latest OS. Maybe I’m being completely oblivious, and couldn’t find the correct setting. Maybe it’s Apple’s own fault for possibly not including at least stereo audio recording on iPhone 8’s microphones, which is what I’m using (I sincerely doubt it). Look, I honestly have no clue as to why I can’t at the very least, record stereo audio while filming 4K video; but if someone out there can explain to my why it’s not possible or if it is and I’m simply overlooking something, then I sincerely thank you. I really hope I’m not coming across as rude; that was never my intention. I am just upset because I recently went on an filming trip, and found out that all the audio came out in mono, not stereo or even higher than that. If it helps, I am using a standard iPhone 8 (not plus) with 64GB, running iOS 11. I believe that at the time I shot the footage, I was specifically running an iteration of iOS 11.3 . Once I hear a response from the developer, I will most likely raise my current rating. I am confident that this is an external issue, apart from the app; so no hard feeling to the devs! 😁

4. 5/5Overall Well-Rounded App

   There is a lot to love about this app - the granularity of control is beyond other apps I’ve tried. I use this app for slow motion capture on my iphone 11, and the results are great, but every time I start the app it has lost all the settings and I have to reselect everything. Perhaps the most annoying part of that is it quietly switches from 1080p@240fps back to 60fps, and so the slow motion capture just doesn’t happen. Also, the control overlay does not fit on the screen correctly - the controls on the left are truncated off the screen, including the indicator for frame-rate. This app has been a long time favorite of mine despite these buggy issues on the iPhone 11. I really hope the developers are able to fix these issues, this app is still my favorite and I still give it five stars because it deserves five stars.

5. 4/5It’s OK

   Well it’s really good but it keeps kicking me out so I would recommend to buy a different app but if you really want to make a movie just by the sun not by it meaning by like see it it’s free that’s what I like but the only thing that’s really bad about it it keeps just kicking you out it’s like goodbye and you like trying to see was the problem but I won’t let you get in again because it just keeps kicking you out and kicking you out it just gets really annoying and for some reason I just want to finish this thing I’m making won’t let me because it says not I’m not doing good and didn’t say that but I just said I like kicking me out for some reason you get kicked out many times and it just gets annoying annoying and then you try to leave it and then the next day it’s just does the same thing it’s just super annoying sometimes I just wish it would work better so I just gave it 4 1/2 stars
