I want to like this app. It seems easy to use and change settings. Could be great for checking focal lengths with and without a speed booster . The big problem I'm running into is; I'll take a picture with the app so I can compare different options, but nothing happens. "Processing" just shows up on the screen and never goes away. Photos never show up in my camera roll. I let it sit for like 5 minutes, still processing, still no photos. So that's a deal breaker for me. Edited

Hi there, yes this is a known issue with the new Android OS. We are working to fix this, but it takes time. Especially considering that we are doing this in Kyiv, Ukraine, under constant missile and air drones attacks on our civilian infrastructure. Thanks for your patience

I think the concept is great guys. I didn't really understand how the app works though. It was a little to busy for me and quite buggy. I had to delete it 5mins after Installed because as soon as I turned on my bmpcc4k it had somehow changed my cameras language to Chinese. I had to use google translate to navigate back to English. Anyway good luck. Thanks for making it free. Good to try new things but this isnt for me. All the best.

Did you happen to read the app description? 😂 What does it have to do with your BMPCC4K? The Chinese part was the funniest though 😂😂😂 Please read carefully what the app is designed for. Good luck you too )))))

With the latest update, users can now access images taken with the app. HOWEVER, even with "low resolution" option disabled in settings, the more zoomed in the image, the worse not only is the image itself (since the app cannot switch between different lenses) but ALSO the information at the top of the image (focal length etc) is unreadable. Changing from 1 star to 3 stars because of this. The dev needs to fix all these bugs to justify the purchase price. Edited

This app is fricken awesome! I was so close to spending a whole lot on a directors viewfinder and having to do all the math for MFT with my Sirui 35mm Anamorphic lens. Turns out this app can do the conversion AND emulate the squeezed look of 35mm Anamorphic vs Spherical. AND you could save settings or another word for "multiple lenses". It's really gonna save me time on set and help me purchase lenses online.

This app has saved me a lot of setup time. I've used it dozens of times deciding where to place cameras and sliders and what glass works best. I do all of that before unpacking any equipment. With this we get the setup right the first time.

Thanks for your review. It's professionals like you that the app was designed with in mind.
