Beastcam - Pro Camera for Negative User Reviews

It’s okay, not great either.Look, I’ve been on the fence to use anything Beastgrip. Their support is the worst. They can’t keep their DOF in stock and their prices are astronomical compared to brands like Moment or SmallRig Their app on the other hand isn’t Terrible. It’s missing a few major features that big contenders like Filmic Pro have. Namely, DESQUEEZING ANAMORPHIC LENSES IN THE VIEWFINDER while using ProRes! C’mon guys! I wish they also had a LOG profile as well. Fix it so you can gain more customers after Filmic Pro goes subscription!.Version: 1.18

You’ll lose your footage!Beastcam has a variety of great features, but it’s also full of bugs. It crashes frequently, and exporting footage is a nightmare. If your clips are too long or if you have too many on your phone, the app with crash without warning and delete everything in its library. It’s horrible to discover that after a day of hard work, all your content is suddenly gone. As much as I want to like this app, I can’t, the deletion of your clips and images if simply unforgivable. Until these issues are resolved, I’d highly advise prospective buyers against beastcam..Version: 1.16

Amateur, non-intuitive, clumsy, but only $2For $2, app is just OK. That’s the good news. The bad? There are only articles online to provide functionality help; a PDF inclusive of all settings is extremely lacking. My experience is with software QA and digital photography since the early days. I can normally pick up just about any cam and figure out functionality associated with “icons”. I’m lost with their custom made icons and verbiage, in addition to extremely small icons and labels. Be aware you will be spending a lot of time just identifying menu links/items. It’s clear that QA professionals, fluent in digital photography, never assessed this app. But, then, it’s only $2..Version: 1.19

MehThe app doesn’t recognize that I have a 14 max pro. Wrong lenses and no pro resolution. The preview has a pink hue and terrible quality. I never know how it looks till I finished and downloaded. A lot to fix.Version: 1.18

I would have rated higher, but…The functionality of this app is quite good. I would have rated 4 or 5 stars if the Xenvo remote I use worked with Beast Cam video. It works for photo taking but not video. Since I’m making tutorials and filming by myself I really need it to work with a remote. I use this remote on my native iPhone camera and it works perfectly. If Beast Cam fixes this issue I will come back and give it 4 or 5 stars. If you don’t use a remote I would recommend this app. Great value for the price..Version: 1.19

Crashed my entire phone..That’s all that needs to be said I think but yeah my entire phone just restarted when I changed from camera mode to video mode… waste of $2.Version: 1.18

IPhone 14 Pro— No ProRes option.3 will go to 5 stars! I want to love this app fully because everything is awesome. However, can’t seem to find ProRes. And if you introduce shooting in Log or Flat profiles, you will decimate Filmic Pro and their new subscription model..Version: 1.18

Nice next to Filmic, but could be better..I have been using this app more and more lately and I have been wanting to utilize 60fps in 4K at beast quality bitrate in 10-bit. Why make that combination possible in the app if it doesn’t work to it’s full capability? I paid a pretty penny for this app 😂 MOST of my footage shot with those options selected have dropped frames, varying between 1-10 fps - dependant on the image? Maybe? It’s unusable on my 12 Pro Max to any professional/hobbyist standard right now, which sucks because Filmic caps out at 30fps in 4k when shooting 10 bit/log - Also..if you could implement a Log type recording format for the 12 pro/max or other 10-bit capable devices that would really take this app the the next level in my opinion and I may just end up using Beastcam for all my photo/video shoots ;).Version: 1.12

Apple Watch is not supportedThe lack of an application for Apple Watch, which disqualifies this good application from the competition's offer.Version: 1.11

Too buggy1. Extremely slow even in comparison to Moment cam 2. The settings aren’t saved even if one chooses to save current setting. 3. Sometimes the cam freezes 4. Sometimes the cam does not desqueeze with anamorphic lens even after restarting the app. 5. Extremely poor focusing. Never know whether focus worked 6. No global presets: like time lapse or integration 7. Default is a video app and does not allow to be photo app 8. Extremely expensive especially compared to much much better cams 9. The app does not allow to add the gear 10. Login does not work upon registration 11. Desqueeze is far from perfect and has fisheye effect 12. Poor focusing Tired of writing of more bugs.Version: 1.2

Should be 5 startsThis app should be 5 starts but it’s currently crashing almost every time I go to review my videos/photos. The functionality and manual control this app offers is top notch. Would recommend this app as soon as it stops crashing..Version: 1.14

DisappointedI had been waiting over a year for this app to release. I have to say as a huge fan of Beastgrip products owning almost their entire inventory, I am extremely disappointed in this app. When you try and combine a still photo app with a video app you become a jack of all trades and a master of none. For what this app offers it brings nothing new to the table and falls short of what other apps offer at less money. For example, the Pro Camera app from Moment offers more features like an iPad and Watch version for a fraction of the cost. Beastgrip should have followed FiLMiC Pros philosophy and offered dedicated apps fo still photos and video and focused on bringing new pro features not more of the same at inflated pricing..Version: 1.2

Pricey and lacks supportSpend $700 on lenses from this company, and still have to buy app too. No support or anything to show you how to use app..Version: 1.18

Good but...The app has great features and all but it just needs a little improvement on one particular thing. It'd be great if the transition from landscape to portrait is seemless. Right now it's just ugly. It rotates the whole screen preview with ugly rotation transition. Only the labels should rotate regardless of the device Rotation Lock state. Do not rotate the whole camera preview, it's just not pleasing to look at. This might be a minor thing to some but it's the only reason why I don't like using the app. For this price, it looks like an oversight. Every little detail matters..Version: 1.16

Missing Flat ProfileGreat App in general but not giving 5 stars for the following reasons: 1. When shooting with the 1.33 anamorphic lens, the monitoring image gets sent to the top instead of 2 black bars on top and bottom. This is kind of annoying. 2. No flat profile available.Version: 1.9

Really bad stabilisationStabilisation is very bad comparing to standard iPhone camera. ( with a separate stabilisation setting set!) Zooming as well is not as smooth as on iPhone camera app. I was looking for an app where I would be able to record a good sound ( I can’t do that on standard iPhone app) so 2 stars.Version: 1.19

So much potential yet so little updatingFilmic Pro’s (5 yr user) new subscription pricing got me wondering if this app could be a replacement and yes it could be BUT currently it is not. ProRes is broken on new iOS and 14 ProMax. 10 bit is also broken (as others have mentioned here). Last update was 8+ months ago. I don’t mind paying more for the app if it gets updated regularly BUT it appears that the developer rarely updates it. Sad to say as it has potential. Plus the developer should capitalize on the stupid Filmic pricing model that the new owner has rolled out..Version: 1.18

Watch app pleaseThis would be absolutely amazing to use if I had a watch app. I usually record my self with the rear camera so I can’t check if I’m centred in the frame otherwise so please give us an Apple Watch app.Version: 1.19

HDR 10 bit low bit rateVery nice app, but HDR 10 bit Dolby Vision Produce bit rate on highest quality about 23 Mb/s. This is much lower than native Apple app. 10 bit SDR is working properly. I send them emails , but they are not answering.Version: 1.19

TimecodeUser friendly but unfortunately no timecode capability unlike Mavis.Version: 1.18

Almost thereThe good: Great interface. All pertinent controls are readily accessible. Seriously, the interface is top-notch. Great level indicators for pitch and roll. Smart exposure and focus modes are very well thought-out. Audio levels. Camera and video modes have feature-parity except where it doesn’t make sense (like audio levels). The bad: No Dolby Vision on iPhone 13 Pro (full point off and a complete dealbreaker). Very basic controls for bitrate. No option to link focus and exposure spots together. No focus loop. You have to choose between false color, zebra stripes or focus peaking to be on (no mixing). Auto visual analysis only shows focus peaking when manually changing focus, not when focus changes. No set depths for focus racking..Version: 1.19

It’s amazing, but Export has been failing constantlyApp works amazing, the amount of controls is incredible. But the export feature is pretty busted. I have the newest iPhone and wanna take advantage of the quality of videos, but I can’t even use the videos from the app because most of the ones beyond 10 seconds will not export and keeps telling me it failed and to try again..Version: 1.12

Not bestMany are coming to this app because they want an alternative to FilmicPro. You get what pay for folks. This app is designed to promote their hardware. Moment app does the same. With Filmic you get 100% video app that does its job with a true professional features. The only advantage with Beastcam is that it’s interface is very visual. Try other apps and you will go with Filmic. Beastcam just doesn’t stand up..Version: 1.19

Good and bad at the same timeGoodness me, it takes an age to load and activate the camera on 13 Pro Max, just a black screen for 5+ seconds. Film on selfie mode and the footage is upside down every single time when you airdrop it to the MacBook for editing (easily fixed but annoying all the same). However, it does actually have a lot of features and is a fairly good app but is not quite up there with Filmic Pro. Needs updating asap to capitalise on people angry at Filmic Pro going subscription based who are looking for an alternative. It’s not quite that yet - would be happy to pay £10 if they up their game..Version: 1.18

So many issuesWhere to start… not in a particular order… 1) no vlog support 2) Mac ISO for latest iPhone SE seems low. The app maxes out at 880 🤮 3) for new users the tools (reticles) for focus and exposure are confusing (tested this on multiple people 4) can’t save videos to Apple Photos library 5) when deleting videos, the free space isn’t made available to the device. Rather, it seems to move it to the System Data storage (which now has ballooned to over 58GB on my iPhone SE 2022).Version: 1.19

Great BUT not…Great overall pro functions easily accessible and customisable BUT … No true constant frame rate or options to under cranked/over cranked frame rate is a big problem. Having extra or dropped frames on your edit timeline is not good practice. While you can lock all settings in manual mode as soon as you change focal length every settings are reset to auto. This is especially annoying for shutter speed which disregard frame rate you have set entirely. Because of that you’ll end up missing or ruining a shot when you have to be quick. Any video camera have the ability to lock the shutter speed according to your frame rate, NOT BeastCam. Same for white balance which reset when you switch focal length or recording mode. Seems like minor problems but it really ruins the user experience on set when you try to work effectively..Version: 1.18

Lost footageIv’e tried this app on two different occasions now. The first, I had it recording until the battery died. The entire footage was lost. Figured that was my fault for letting the battery die. Tried it again, being careful to watch the battery level. Saved the video. BeastCam gave me a 25G video file that neither it, nor any other video app (including Preview, QuickTime and Adobe Premiere on Mac) could read. Two nights of footage lost. Moving on to another app..Version: 1.18

Something to think aboutIt can do ProRAW, it can do ProRes, but it can’t do Log for video. When you ask their support they take a ‘trying to sound like a corporation’ stance - we don’t have information on that blablabla. A small crew like Moment can put out Log. BeastCam can’t. Pity, not Beast enough for my taste..Version: 1.19

Unusable appThe app is unstable and not usable. I’m not sure if this only impacts iPhone 14s or if it’s everyone since the iOS 16 update. It lags, freezes and crashes. Even had an instance where toggling settings forced my phone to reboot. There are other gotchas as well but I’ll reserve thoughts on usability and depth of features since I can’t even fully explore it. I appreciate if you’re a smaller outfit but even incremental fixes would be helpful. It’s been a month and a half since both the 14s and OS have released….Version: 1.18
