Filmic First­light user reviews :

The app is slow. Very slow. It takes time between shots for the shutter button to be usable, also I can’t instantly see if I did a good job. It’s either that I see the previous shot in the gallery, or I just wait long enough for the pricture to be ready to be seen. All in all, this app needs TONS of optimization. I’m on a Redmi Note 8 Pro, by the way. It has no issues taking pictures in a snap both with the built-in app and other 3rd party apps (even with filters on), only with Firstlight.

• Dear Levente, thank you for your honest review! Could you please contact us via www.filmicpro.com/support#contact with further details so that our support team could look at your request closer. Thank you for your review and have a nice day!

Absolutely no medium to low light performance. I’m really confused by this app. Filmic Pro is great and I bought the pro version of this. I love the interface and features. But it literally cannot take a non blurry image in medium light. No matter how absolutely dead still I hold it. I’m on a brand new Pixel 6. It takes amazing photos in the native camera app in the exact same lighting. Not talking about night mode stuff. Just sitting in my living room with four lamps on and a TV. Blurry.

I got this because Pixel 6 Pro had no manual focus and I use that often but I’m having the same problem other Pixel 6 Pro users are having. Telephoto pictures don’t match what the screen sees. I.e. a moon shot that fills the screen shows nothing but dark skies in the picture. Seems to be off by about 20 degrees. If this is ever fixed, definitely a 5 star app because everything else about this camera app is almost perfect.

Before the update it work great, then after the update the picture quality went down. There’s also a stutter making my picture have a blur/motion look, making them look fuzzy. If I use any other lenz (wide/tele) I am not joking it’ll take my picture force left (if that makes sense) really needs to be fix, I really enjoy this app but can’t use it anymore

I really like the interface, the focus and exposure gestures give you easy control. I also enjoy the film simulations, with grain and vignette options that you can apply before you take the shot. The main improvement I’d like to see is support for optical zoom. I got a Samsung galaxy s21 ultra specifically for the optical zoom, but this app appears to only use digital zoom. The native Samsung camera app is still far superior in this regard.

• Hello Amy! We´ll take note of your request. Thank you for your review and have a nice day!
