Can I get a refund? Did not know it couldn’t connect an android phone to my iPad for screen mirroring.
Firstlight support

I love the capability of this app, though it would be much better if the Filmic Firstlight photo app was also able to be remote controlled by this. That way you could compose the shot, figure out focus, lighting, and colors, all while being in the shot yourself.
I don’t understand these reviews.

This app lets me get shots I can’t get in any other way. Love the film looks!
So Disappointed

I was very excited to use the app. I wanted to use my iPad as a monitor screen and a remote so that there was no camera shakiness when adjusting focus on the screen and when pressing record on a perfectly framed shot… well, the app stays the same size on your iPad screen as your iPhone so it didn’t work as a good monitor, and the lag is insane. I tried to adjust focus on a still shot using my iPad as the remote… it just skipped the whole transition of focus so it went from the object being in focus to out of focus in the snap of your fingers. I want my money back that I spent on filmic pro. The only reason I got the app it was for the manual focus and it is not worth it without a remote. I would rather spend money (like $300) on an iPhone rig like a beastcage, get real camera lenses, and hook up a tilta nano nucleus to actually adjust the focus of the lens itself instead of the focus of the iPhone camera. The $15 or whatever I spent on this is not worth it. And another thing, the added “color effects” on this app are not any better than the iphones standard effects that you can turn on before recording on your regular iPhone camera. And if you are interested in focus peaking, filmic pro’s focus peaking is just incorrect. It’s supposed to highlight areas that are in focus.. it oftentimes just highlights the borders of whatever objects it sees. i never write reviews but I thought I would help whatever early stage filmmaker out there to not waste their money… surprisingly online filmic pro is renowned as the best filming app for iPhone… don’t be fooled. As of right now there is no such thing as a great filming app for the iPhone. If anything, the only good thing about this app is that can do auto white balance and it’s easy to set the exposure.
Remote and Pro app will not pair

I have an iPhone 12 Pro and iPad Air 4 and the Filmic Remote app on my iPad will not connect with the Filmic Pro app on my iPhone. It reads it and starts to connect then disconnects. I am on a strong WiFi system but that doesn’t seem to matter. Have tried everything, including reinstalling but get the same result. Very disappointed with this product and expected much better after watching several videos about it.
Filmic Support is Great!

I’m changing my review after getting really great tech support from the Filmic crew. I had an issue of the remote not being able to control both the iPhone 12 and 13 Max Pro as camera A and B because it was calling them the same name, and still doing so after I changed the names of both phones to be different. Turns out the app was using the old names from cache inside the Filmic Pro app - so reinstalling the remote app was not getting it to see the new names! I reinstalled Filmic Pro on both phones and it now sees the new phone names and allows me to control both phones. Thank God they explained it to me and that resolved the issue, now I can control both phones and all is well with the remote app again. Being a one man film crew, I use this app on my iPad to lock the exposure and focus with me as the subject from both camera angles, and for this the app is great!
It works
Kyle Arruda
Works as intended. 1 star off for the lag, as others mentioned, but impossible to work around that without a tether.
Only useful to set exposure, focus, and compose.

One star because there is so much latency that you can’t monitor when doing moving shots or pull exposure/focus. It’s really bad.
