Filmic Legacy for Negative User Reviews
✓ DisappointedI have purchased filmic pro 1 year and i was able to save videos to my camera roll,file or sent it to my google drive. Unfortunately after they updated to V7 i cant do save my video and this happened without asking my permission. They mailed me i can use filmic legacy but it does not working. Im very confused and disappointed i think i wont be using anymore filmicpro anymore.Version: 6.21.2
✓ Developers lie about honoring legacy paid customersDeveloper deactivated the Legacy, stating we as fully paid customer can go through the v7 App (Settings>Info) to download the legacy version and it is no longer there. Bad practice. Misleading marketing and representations. Not happy former customer..Version: 6.21.4
✓ Why did you do this?Tbh I’m so disappointed. On top of what everyone else has said I want to add that every time I open the Legacy app (after doing the whole download process through V7: settings->info->download legacy) I am still brought back to the same “DEAR USER” page. I literally can’t get into my old app at all and my videos have gone with it and I have tried everything. Why did V7 take priority over the happiness of users who were comfortable with V6??.Version: 6.21.4
✓ LegacyYou are supposed to be able to download the legacy version if you purchased is but I am unable to. Paid for the app and then it changed to subscription base. I feel robbed.Version: 6.21.4
✓ Extremely poor formUtterly disgraceful to suddenly convert to a subscription model and keep peoples footage hostage after they have already paid you. I’ll keep using the legacy version until it disappears but you’ll never get an another cent from me Filmic..Version: 6.21.4
✓ They did us dirtyImagine buying a car, you pay a big price (by car standards), and after a few years you wake up and someone wants to rent it to you. No bargaining. Nothing. They say, but look, we got you a car that you didn't agree to and with less features. This was a low blow from a company with loyal customers. Just cause they did us dirty, should I need to you a subscription film or photo app, they will not be my first choice. Ugly move, people. You could have done better..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Leaving the paid customers behindInstead of requiring a purchase for the new version, they require a subscription. If you purchased before this new model, you get to download this app and restore purchase. I work in IT. This is bad business. If I had a vendor pull this, I would drop them and find a new one. Likewise, I will be finding a new professional level video app..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Shady business practiceI purchased Filmic Pro, the Cinematographer Kit, and Filmic Remote years ago. Great app(s) and worth what I paid. Then I read with V7 it will be subscription based but the original version will still work as it is. Today I open the app and find it has been removed by the company and replaced with a trial version of V7 and this was done WITHOUT MY PERMISSION, and I was not notified that this would happen. It tells me I can redownload Filmic Pro Legacy, so I did but it won’t open unless I sign the V7 user agreement and I can’t tell if it will still have the Cinematographer Kit as part of it. Screw that. What a terrible way to treat your original customers. Very underhanded. I’ve deleted the apps and will just go with one of the many competitors..Version: 6.21.2
✓ DisappointedHave already paid for the app, now any footage I want to get that I've shot stuff with is only obtainable by paying for a subscription to an app I've already brought..Version: 6.21.4
✓ What a jokePay you twice? No thanks. How do I get a refund?.Version: 6.21.2
✓ Once I figured out how to accessTrying to follow the directions with the bait and switch new version with monthly fees, when you select information on version seven, you can scroll down to find the option that enables the legacy version. Did not realize there was more choices by scrolling till I saw a video. While I am thankful the did not just block use of what was already paid for, I never buy an app that is not being maintained. This, being the most expensive app I have ever purchased, is now no longer going to be maintained. Most likely when I finally can afford to get a new iPhone, chances are this app is trash and will not work. What a rip off. At least I will get a little use out of this app till then. I rated this app five stars up unrolled they pulled this money grabbing stunt. When you buy an app, you are also investing in weather the developer can be trusted. Think about that before getting a subscription..Version: 6.21.2
✓ This app’s developers must be from a 3rd world countryTo think that business is done in this way where they can charge you for a premium version of something, then bail on it a few months later and just call it something else. Obviously, If you stop updating it, it’s not going to work anymore. The quality will be garbage, because your operating system will be updated and the app will not work the same anymore. What scum..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Here’s the deal, there ain’t no gosh darn deal!Everything is great until people get greedy. As others have said, it was a good app, then the developers got greedy and now we have a worthless buggy app that no longer functions as it was intended. Serval phones can’t connect to others via remote which was why I originally purchased this. The developers should send back the money to everyone who bought v6. Shameful, disgraceful, and utterly deplorable. End of line.Version: 6.21.4
✓ Wrong choice. Wrong company attitude!People who paid good money for this software were never informed that they were buying version 6 only. They were under the impression that they were buying a lifetime license of all future versions and that is why they paid the amount requested instead of buying one of the competing products selling for just a dollar or two. While the company has the right to change the model for future customers, it is wrong and immoral to do that for existing customers. This company has just thrown away huge goodwill earned over many years and burned itself..Version: 6.21.4
✓ Where does the video save in iOS?When you forced Legacy users to download a new app, all our settings were gone. Where does the video save on iOS? It used to save into my video folder in Photos directly. Also, your app is a perfect example of why consumers are weary of purchasing apps that cost more than a few dollars. There is no need to go to a subscription based model for this app, you don’t provide a service..Version: 6.21.2
✓ I’m happy with LegacyLove the app but why does it take up to 10 seconds to open on the 14Pro? I’m wondering if it’s intentional….Version: 6.21.2
✓ Done with subscriptionsWent to shoot some footage today for a client only to realize the purchased app had been replaced with a subscription based one. No option to pay once and upgrade, nope. I am done with subscription models. I refuse to pay salaries to devs for apps I use infrequently so they can sit around drinking luxury coffee while trying to make up things to justify everyone paying monthly. Let me pay for a perpetual upgrade or I walk. I will stick with legacy until I find a new app..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Film looks gone.Don’t you hate it when a company “upgrades” by switching to a subscription and removing features you’ve paid for in their legacy version. I recently paid for the film looks which now only work if I paid 41 pound a year..Version: 6.21.4
✓ Paid paidNow you’re charging a subscription hmmm I sure hope it’s better than the last one because it will freeze and crash on me. I just logged on and notice this- if you can convince me then I will but we at least need an explanation since I already paid for it.Version: 6.21.4
✓ Thieves. Beware.I’m yet another customer who got screwed coz the company got greedy. Read the reviews before you even consider buying. You could have paid for the Pro version all the bells and whistles in-app purchases but now they want money WEEKLY! They did this by upgrading to another version and killing access to all the loyal customers who had any previous version. Classic ‘Bait and Switch’. Should you really be shopping here? The app is great. But how long until the weekly charge turns into a daily charge? Maybe hourly?.Version: 6.21.4
✓ Disappointing that you decided to switch to a subscription modelWell, this is a new and annoying development. I now have to get an unmaintained legacy app after supporting your app and company version after version, and now am FORCED into a subscription model that I don't want and can't stand. And it is overly expensive for an app that I use for special circumstances. A shame, as you have lost a paying customer, and judging by your recent reviews, you lost A LOT of paying customers. And the little you've done to retain your once paying customers, is really a slap in the face. How about a discount for the long term customers who have been with you since version 1? How about grandfathering in those repeat paying users? Nope, would rather taking advantage of the customer base, and locking features behind an INSANE subscription model like other terrible companies. Well, congratulations Filmic, you've arrived— you're just as terrible as everyone else. Jacking up prices during a recession, offering little to justify doing so, and seriously upsetting a large portion of your user base. Bra-Vo. You played yourself and pivoted to being another in a long string of companies flushing customer goodwill down the toilet. Good luck. You won't be doing it with my money..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Paid for this Expensive App was WRONG!You wouldn’t have been here if we didn’t support you buying this expensive app. Now you tricked us to subscribe the app what we’ve paid for. Really! Even Halide gave us a whole free year when they switched to Subscription model although we aren’t satisfied with. Now you gave us royalty discount of $10 if we subscribe to yearly plan?! I’ve paid this for about $25 including IAP. I don’t want this useless, unmaintained app. Give me the refund. I’ll give you 50% discount. So you just need to refund me $12.5. I WILL NEVER USE YOUR APPS AGAIN EVEN IF THEY ARE FREE!!!!!!.Version: 6.21.2
✓ Legacy Downgrades From most recent paid versionBefore the most recent 7 update, we has a newer paid version than what was given in the “Legacy” version. We should’ve just been given 7 as the last update and make it legacy. At what point will support disappear? This was my favorite recording app, but I won’t pay an additional subscription fee for it..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Bad actorGive this developer a miss. Can’t be trusted..Version: 6.21.2
✓ SCAM TOOK MY $Years ago, I purchased this app to film with my phone. Now I have come back to realize they have an entirely new system. They have pretty much offloaded this version of the app and and made it nearly impossible to access even though I did purchase the legacy version years ago it still doesn’t show that I can re-download it now they have a new version that requires a subscription service, horrible business model. I am working on getting a possible refund from my original filmic app years ago..Version: 6.21.4
✓ Feel ripped offBought the Filmic app for good money for an app - thinking there would always be support and updates. Now they decide to put out a new version and charge subscription fees for it. Feel ripped off..Version: 6.22.1
✓ Change of terms - we can change our mindI think if the company basically changes the terms of service we should be able to get a refund. To me that entails a breach of contract! To go from a buy once and use app to a rent it pay and forever app..Version: 6.22.1
✓ I hate subscriptionsI’m glad I bought this before the subscription model popped up but still disappointed that they chose that route. It looks like I’ll have to find an alternative or stick with the apple camera which is a lot better than it used to be. I’m not paying for any subscription-based software ever!.Version: 6.22.0
✓ Warning to previous Filmic users about new terms of serviceIf you previously bought and paid for Filmic and then recorded any footage on your phone or tablet, you may be tempted to open the new updated app and agree to the new terms of service without reading it. Caution in doing so, as Filmic is now forcing a subscription model and the following text comes from their new terms of service: THESE TERMS CONTAIN VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS, AS WELL AS CONDITIONS, LIMITATIONS, DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES, AND EXCLUSIONS THAT MIGHT APPLY TO YOU. THESE TERMS ALSO CONTAIN PROVISIONS REGARDING THE AUTOMATIC RENEWING OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. THESE TERMS REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS. It is obvious they are aware their unassuming customers have legal justification for a class action lawsuit, and they are hoping you click “accept” before you find out what is going on..Version: 6.21.4
✓ Disgusting Business PracticeI’m sure you’ll make millions while screwing the customers that made you what you are. Thanks for legacy I guess..Version: 6.21.4
✓ How do I sync my presets?What the hell is this crap? Instead of making a new app you make an existing app a "legacy" app and now I can't access my presets unless I use the new subscription model app? Go ufck your self. I hope you get cancer..Version: 6.21.2
✓ DisappointingDisgusting business tactics, paying for the extra features that made Filmic worth it wasn’t enough, you want us to pay subscriptions? As bloodsucking as every other company..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Purchased in good faithI don’t use filmic pro all the time but have done. Wife purchased a whole bunch of add ons. That because they’ve upgraded, no longer work. Apparently I can still use Filmic legacy but can’t export, and won’t save unless you subscribe? So exactly can you do, and what good is it? Oh I guess you can practise. When will these companies learn? These constant subscribe to this or that, eventually you have no money left. At least with my adobe membership I get A LOT for my money. Go the professional route, stop wasting time with companies that seem to totally misread the room..Version: 6.21.2
✓ App doesn’t work - v6In the same boat as the other users - downloaded/installed Legacy only to open it to the landing page that sends me to v7. Goodbye Filmic..Version: 6.21.4
✓ Another Greedy DevelopperI bought Filmic Pro for a one time purchase. When the app was updated to V7 it became subscription only. Former Pro users have to download Legacy and jump through hoops to make it work. That's not customer friendly. In addition to the ever changing ToS - accept or loose access, it best to go the old-fashioned way: Buy a decent camera and film with that. No subscription and no changing ToS. You can even save money by getting a cheeper phone next time..Version: 6.21.4
✓ DisgustingI bought the Filmic Pro Camera Kit which included FP and the Remote (control with another device like an iPad) and now with the switch to subscriptions don’t have the app I paid for (no I’m not paying more money after paying full price already) and also don’t appear eligible for the FP Legacy app (bc I bought a bundle?!) as no matter what there is no download available to me in the Settings/info tab. So like $30 spent and devs employ the old bait and switch and presto-blammo we consumers are once again screwed over..Version: 6.22.1
✓ Remove the Subscription!I bought this app years ago and have really enjoyed it, but it’s not worth paying a monthly subscription now! I can’t believe this company is trying to milk more money out of its existing customers. Why not just ask your customers for another $10 to upgrade because you added new features? Don’t waste your money with this company..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Thanks and ByeSteep subscription for non pro users! The Legacy will do until alternative. Sad that new owner of Filmic Pro went the high profit way, as app gave a chance to so many to be creative at an affordable cost without compromise for quality!.Version: 6.21.2
✓ Stay Away!Per the previous comment, I have been using filmic pro for two years and have been happy with it. I purchased a “one-time” license and now these clowns have stolen my purchase. I will be recommending to Apple that they be removed from the App Store..Version: 6.21.4
✓ Highway Robbery/DisappointedI’m a film student at Full Sail University and I’ve used this app to film a couple short films. Now I just found out that it won’t be supported anymore and they are going subscription based which is ridiculous. I paid too dollar for this app. This move by filmic pro has forced me to just use my Sony FX 6. It’s crazy how companies mess up a good thing for a quick money grab. I’m very disappointed with this decision by filmic pro..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Original Version was betterSadly I have had an issue with the app since it changed to legacy. The audio seems to work sporadically. I use to use a rode wireless with the app and it worked before perfectly fine and after the update my audio seems to stop working. Even after switching back to the phones mics they still don’t work. I’ve attempted this on two devices and same thing happens..Version: 6.21.4
✓ Ripped Off!What a ripoff to subscribers!! Now forced to pay again to use new version.Version: 6.21.2
✓ Money grabbingLegacy App? Pay more to continue using the App? Sounds like another money grabbing technique. App crashes and corrupts the files anyway. Good luck 👋.Version: 6.22.1
✓ Badly done FilmicGreat program, but you have made a mistake with your business model. I don’t appreciate having to re download the app. I don’t appreciate feeling that it will no longer be kept up to date. A better model would be to rely on existing users to recommend the app. You have just undermined that. Subscription models for apps are a rip off. This is an app, not a service..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Handled PoorlyI’ve owned Filmic Pro for less than a year. Now this whole mess comes along to ruin it. Filmic Pro v7 should have been a new app. Lost all my settings because I needed to download Legacy app and start from fresh. Wasn’t very good sneaking a Subscription service in to what felt like a basic update on v6. Time to find an alternative :)..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Worst apps everI dont recommend this apps for the new customer i purchased this apps 2 years ago and now i can’t be used it anymore because of the subscription deleted already.Version: 6.21.2
✓ Thanks for ruining it.Did IQ’s drop sharply amongst the developers of this app? If the change to a subscription model for an app brought outright wasn’t shady enough, what’s worse is not announcing it to users prior to upgrading the app. Fun story, I upgraded before heading away overseas and being out in the field with no data I was unable to access the app when it came time to shooting. The result you ask? Missing out on valuable shots! Thanks for nothing..Version: 6.22.1
✓ Greedy and Underhand move!Just realised my app had updated , excitedly opened to find the “ can’t save files unless” notice to upgrade on a weekly payment, disgusting move to your loyal users, not a great look for your company . Will no longer be singing your praises but instead singing of your decent into the greedy swamp of money vs creativity.Version: 6.21.2
✓ It’s really a scamWithout any permission, you’ve deleted the app, it was before a project and you ruined my credit! I paid around $60, and it seems there is no account!.Version: 6.21.2
✓ At the very leastI appreciate that they at least gave us what we originally paid for. I am a casual user and won’t benefit from the continued updates. But I didn’t appreciate how one day I tried to use the app and suddenly it tells me I can’t export. I wasted time filming. It would’ve been better if you develop a new App and then price it new. By piggybacking on previous users, that was kind of a typical corporate dirty move to force market the new product. I’m rating the business practice, and I don’t rate it lower because at least we have Legacy. Otherwise, I would boycott everything. But this gives me pause now about any product I get at the App Store, the fact that developers can use such a dirty tactic..Version: 6.21.4
✓ Just screwed long time supporters!!Great app but moving on. Not a great way to treat original users. I used to recommend filmic to everyone. Not anymore..Version: 6.22.1
✓ GreedyGreed killed this app..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Another trash company who could care less about the end userBought this app quite a while ago and used it often. I stupidly updated because I thought “finally an update after all these years!” Only to find out that they only changed the look and now want users to subscribe. Terrible that this is the direction all companies are going. I urge you to not use this app at all!!.Version: 6.21.4
✓ App was acquired and became a subscription model bait and switchThis is positively nauseating. One of the best video apps in the history of the App Store has pivoted into a subscription scam model to squeeze recurring revenue from people no matter how much they actually use the thing. How wonderful, one of my favorite tools has been turned into a SERVICE that people can REPEATEDLY pay for if they want version updates. Oh, and very cute, users who purchased this tool back when it was a tool and not a SERVICE get to download this sneaky always-unlocked version of the app. Hooray for me and past owners. Downright gross for future users. I can’t believe an app and development team I had the utmost respect for and who I felt had the utmost respect for their users would make such a greedy, frustrating, backwards and upsetting decision. This app was once truly wonderful. However, I will never recommend it to another living soul as long as the team continues in this anti-consumer, anti-creativity new direction. Shameful, unexpected, and so very sad..Version: 6.21.2
✓ What?Sold is down the river. The very people who made the app successful. Deleted and done with Filmic..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Don’t trust this company any more!I purchase v6 sometime back. Great app. Recently I find I have been upgraded to v7 which is now on a subscription model. Hmm. There is a pathway back to my v6 purchase now called legacy v6. So I download legacy to find that I cannot use it and it directs me back to v7. So now I have two apps on my phone. One I paid for that I cannot use. The other I have not paid for, and will not be paying for that is unusable because of this. When companies who have all the power abuse their power it is known as ‘unconscionable conduct’. Your greed has led you down a path where you treat those who trusted you and supported you without conscious. Filmic Pro - deleted Filmic Legacy - deleted Firstlight - deleted I will find another company who can help us with our video and imaging needs. Buyer beware..Version: 6.21.4
✓ Subscription model is a dragSo disappointed with the subscription model. Filmmakers often require tools that available offline with no internet connection and need to be fast and stable without login and subscription restrictions. The tool is good but the subscription model has cost me to many lost moments. I cannot count on this as an option which is really a drag because it’s a great app other than the fact that it’s unreliable. So I guess buyer beware when it works it’s good but don’t trust it will work when you need it, have a backup plan..Version: 6.22.1
✓ Not as advertisedThis is a scam. I previously paid for Filmic Pro long ago. When I try to access it now, it tells me I can download Filmic Legacy (v6.0). When I do that, Filmic Legacy tells me I have to download Filmic Pro (v7.0), then go to Settings>Info>Download Filmic Legacy. However, the only way to get that far is to commit to at least a one week free trial for the subscription. So, I did that, navigated to Download Filmic Legacy … which I did … and then was told I had to download Filmic Pro (v7.0) … which I already did to download Filmic Legacy that tells me to go back to download Filmic Pro in order to download Filmic Legacy … which I already have on my iPad. So, it is either subscribe to an app that I have previously paid for or get stuck in a loop never being able to download an app that I was told I would still be able to use with no further charges. THIS IS A SCAM!!.Version: 6.21.4
✓ Theft1 purchased Filmic Pro, the Cinematographer Kit, and Filmic Remote years ago. Great app(s) and worth what I paid. Then I read with V7 it will be subscription based but the original version will still work as it is. Today I open the app and find it has been removed by the company and replaced with a trial version of V7 and this was done WITHOUT MY PERMISSION, and I was not notified that this would happen. It tells me I can redownload Filmic Pro Legacy, sol did but it won't open unless I sign the V7 user agreement and I can't tell if it will still have the Cinematographer Kit as part of it. Screw that. What a terrible way to treat your original customers. Very underhanded. I've deleted the apps and will just go with one of the many competitors..Version: 6.22.1
✓ Well that’s just great!Bought Filmic Pro long before the cut off date and yet can't get the legacy version to recognise I have a previously paid version. Rarely make videos but always used Filmic Pro. Went to make video today and found out about the app being hijacked by a subscription version. Would maybe have been happy with the legacy version but without the option to export the video.. Just what is the point! A real slap in the face to your loyal customers of many years and this one will definitely not be spending money on your products again!.Version: 6.21.4
✓ GreedyLook at your review and the big mistake you’ve done.Version: 6.21.4
✓ Worst app everI can’t even use it.Version: 6.22.1
✓ Shameful and shoddyCheap trick to cheat people. Talk about trying to scam and rip-off their customer base!.Version: 6.22.1
✓ Bunch of thievesI purchased the app now it says I have to subscribe, I can not downgrade, no option of doing so, bunch of thieves, hope your app gets discontinued, wankers..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Great way to ruin your reputationCan’t believe the greed of these people. Being forced to pay a subscription is bad enough for something you’ve already paid for but have you seen the eye watering price? Disgusting.Version: 6.21.2
✓ Doesn’t workLiterally no way to activate V6. It tells me to go to V7 to download, and when I do, it brings me right back to same screen. Way to ruin a dedicated fan base. Greedy scum bought this app and are trying to force people to pay a ridiculous amount for a subscription. They have no incentive to fix V6 and probably never will. Don’t download this, certainly don’t download V7. Pour one out for old Filmic… it was good while it lasted..Version: 6.21.4
✓ Need help / UrgentHi there, I've been using filmic pro app over the past 3 years. I've updated both filmic pro app and and also filmic remote apps which the new one called ( remote legacy) and my filmic pro updated in 7.5.0. Since yesterday my iPad (2022) can't connect to my phone ( iPhone 11 Pro x) and it says can't find the new device which is impossible as I was using it before I updated both apps. In my IPhone I tuned on the remote and it says connect but it doesn't connect to my iPad. It's very urgent and I'm in the middle of shooting my film. Can you please help me and tell me what exactly I need to do. Much appreciated it.Version: 6.21.4
✓ You Stole From Us!I see years of 5 Star reviews here been removed, ss that we leave negative reviews, and others pay your subscription. I have always believed that developers should be paid a fair price, for a good app, and you took my money for that, then made it a subscription. I didn’t pay for a ‘Legacy’ app. I want my money back!.Version: 6.22.1
✓ Corrupt companyThis is one of the most disgusting and greedy app developers. They need to be sued for this corrupt bait and switch scam. Delete the apps..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Lost videosSwitching from Filmic Legacy to Filmic Pro made me lose precious footage. Thanks Filmic..Version: 6.21.4
✓ How do we get a refund ?I can’t believe I paid for an app just the have it close on me all the time now on order to try to force me to get the new subscription version. This is an app that was paid for and suppose to be premium yet it advertises to you and closes for no reason other then to advertise to you when you open it up again. This company really is pathetic conmen and have no morals. I’d recommend any brand over Filmic..Version: 6.22.1
✓ Can’t be trustedBe very careful dealing with this company as they may change their mind and dishonour a licence agreement at any time. Sad..Version: 6.21.4
✓ Where are my presets (THAT I PAID FOR)???I cannot believe how shady this company is. I don’t care if your new V7 is the greatest camera app ever created, I will NEVER support this company or their apps again. Where are the presets that I PAID FOR in this “Legacy” app?? You’ve clearly nerfed this app to try and get people to buy into your garbage subscription service. I hope it fails miserably. I have no idea why you sent out a survey to all your loyal users only to do exactly what you wanted anyway..Version: 6.21.2
✓ DisgustedSo I paid for the app a few months ago, and now they won’t update the version I paid for. They want a weekly pay to use. No, Filmic you will never get my business again..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Good thing theres other appsBrought this app, now I'm told to subscribe and pay to use the upgraded version! People stay far from these rip off companies..Version: 6.21.2
✓ RidiculousYou know what you did..Version: 6.21.4
✓ Subscription model has ruined this appWas the best but now the subscription model has ruined it.Version: 6.22.1
✓ UselessI understand that there is a new app but making this one nonfunctional is just unacceptable. I have lost 2 hours of footage due to audio sync issues that cannot be addressed nor fixed. I’ve searched all over the internet and I’ve got nothing. There isn’t even a place to reach out for support from the company anymore. Thank you for this lesson in late stage capitalism. I used this app for work and lost out because of it. May the developers have the day they deserve..Version: 6.21.4
✓ Greedy criminals. Give us our app back!!Disgusting.Version: 6.21.2
✓ Blatant scamI have never seen a bigger scam in my life and it saddens me. The original Filmic Pro was a wonderful app. It had all the features I had been looking for. I paid $10 for the pro version a few months ago. Suddenly it switched to a monthly subscription without notice. I can no longer access what I paid for without paying a new monthly subscription. It is 100% a scam at this point and your original payment and support means nothing. How dare they try to scam people who have tried and paid to support them. As far as I am concerned they owe me $10 at the bare minimum. Shame on them..Version: 6.22.1
✓ ShamelessRealizing that every company needs to make money - your app was not cheap (as apps go) So you “update” the app I paid for and 𝒚𝒐𝒖 advertised as being a “one-time-purchase.” Now, thanks to your avarice, I can’t use the app unless I buy a subscription. Shameless exploitation. And yes, I already heard, I can download the legacy version - a version that is not designed to be updated, one for which you plan no support. Had I and countless others (check your reviews here and other review forums) known you were planning this, 𝒘𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒖𝒅𝒖𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝒂𝒄𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒖𝒔, 𝒆𝒍𝒔𝒆𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆. Like on “Beast Cam”, or “Moment”, or “Protake.” Bait and switch… and there’s not “thing one” any of us can do about it. It’s too late to dispute the initial purchase from the App Store. Congratulations on finding the perfect way to steal from your customers… in plain sight… without repercussions. If you were smarter, you would have 𝒓𝒆-released this app with a new name. But then you wouldn’t have had a ready made base of people you could try and double sell to… or your coveted “Editor’s Choice” status. I see you Filmic Inc and your parent company Bending Spoons. Your business practices are reprehensible, I’m disgusted. And you should read some of the Reddit posts of people who also think you are criminals..Version: 6.21.2
✓ DisappointedWhy is it I pay for the pro and you upgrade without even notifying me, now all my previous videos are locked into pro that’s not a good way of doing business it feels like a ripoff😡😡😡😡😡.Version: 6.21.2
✓ If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.I don’t know if you guys are getting greedy or just simply bored. This used to be the best app on the market. I had a subscription to all of your services. Then I looked up and you guys changed your subscription. Why??? Then somehow I’m not subscribed, when I paid in full a year ago..Smdh.Version: 6.22.1
✓ I’m genuinely confusedI paid for this app, and now I can’t do anything that I paid for - has anyone read through the original agreement? Is there grounds to seek my money back? Right now I feel like this is illegal for a business to take away what I purchased as a consumer..Version: 6.21.2
✓ ScamLegacy button gone… can’t run even though I paid.. Absolute scam.Version: 6.22.1
✓ Ripped off by greedWithout any forward disclosure v7 forces you into a subscription model. V6 still available but not easily found. This app has gone down in everyone’s esteem because of greedy developers. Good opportunity for someone else to take over this spot..Version: 6.21.4
✓ I Paid for mine years ago!I will not pay monthly or yearly subscription! i will move on to something else that i can buy. I used this app in over 200 video projects and its sad to see someone like me who purchased and supported this app just get left behind and forced to purchase monthly or yearly subscriptions. I feel the people who paid she get a pass. All good things comes to an end i guess….Version: 6.21.2
✓ Where is the cinematographer kit I paid forWe paid for Filmic Pro, not FilmicLegacy!!! The sneaky roll out of this new version is horrible. I paid for the app as well as the cinematographer kit and now it is not available. You cannot charge someone for a product and functionality and then take it away with no refund. A class action suit is warranted and I hope it happens. I hope there are good lawyers listening. Either give me a refund or put the functionality back in to the app..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Activation brokenJust keep getting an oops something went wrong trying to activate it, and have to download from scratch every time to try via the v7. Poor experience.Version: 6.22.1
✓ Somewhat satisfiedI am a fairly recent purchaser of Filmic Pro. I bought it mainly to get clean HDMI output into an ATEM mini so was never going to go down the subscription route. This is the fourth time I have purchased an app for it to change to a subscription model, only one of which at least grandfathered me in and continued to give updates. Filmic Legacy will satisfy my needs but I would have been extremely disappointed if I was using it for its video features. The whole subscription model is putting me off buying apps, at least until they bring the subscriptions down to a sensible amount such as £10 per annum. End of rant..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Extremely DisappointedAlways sang the praises of Filmic but those days are over..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Total Rip OFF!!!I’m NOT impressed with how you DELETED my “Legacy” app WITHOUT my permission! Not only did YOU delete ALL of my presets, you also DELETED my Film Emulations that I PURCHASED! Where are my Film Emulations?.Version: 6.21.2
✓ Let’s be clear what’s happening here.You’re not “lucky” to “still” be able to access the app you paid for. This is an attempt to defuse some of the absolutely justified anger of people who paid for a product only to have it stolen from their devices without their knowledge or consent. The whole Filmic saga is a scam, pure and simple. Buy an app with a significant user base, see how many can be strong-armed into an overpriced subscription, and when people point out they’re being ripped off package up the app they already paid for as a “legacy” version, making out you’re doing them a favour, while running it into the ground to gouge a few more subscriptions. A shoddy, abysmal way to treat people..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Paid for film looks. Terrible comapnyI bought all of the film looks presets and lone behold once I downloaded the legacy version they are not part of it. Absolutely day light robbery. Disgusting that I have paid for it and then they hide it behind a paywall..Version: 6.21.4
✓ Lost trust. Another greedy dev ruins what was goodYou buy an an at a fair price. All good…until the stop developing it. Trash it and then force you to subscribed at an EYE WATERING cost. Avoid this sham and find something else. this is an issue of trust, we made a deal and they changed it and gave me no choice. I will never use filmic again..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Developers can do what they like in terms of licensing but they should be forthcomingWhen you licensed the tool, it is one time payment and now it is service based and you have to pay every week whether you use it or not. It may be good for some and certainly not good for others. Most companies got into this service model driven by financial analysts or VCs to get better valuation by showing more recurring revenue instead of providing value and being innovative; big companies that can monopolize have monopolized and got away but smaller ones that go with service model as “me too” should think twice as their culture is innovation and value creation to attract customers but not jerk around customers..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Deceiving, disingenuous devSo disappointed by the the attitude of Filmic devs. I was a paying user of Filmic but there was NO button to Download the legacy app so got this directly and it not working at all. How did an app that does NOTHING on startup get past the app store review team? There was no need for a new app. They could have just offered support in the updated version for "legacy" users and offer extra features and functionality as a subscription. No need to alienate your users. So deeply disappointed!.Version: 6.22.1
✓ Not working!!!!I paid for Filmic Pro, have been directed to this legacy version to keep using it, but it won’t let me! FFS!!!.Version: 6.21.2
✓ Nostalgia for a once-good appI got caught in the field with no Wi-Fi when I found I was locked out of the app I’ve used daily for my work for 3 years. Because it went subscription. This had been a good app. It got me through beginning filmmaking, and it was good for that, but I was already thinking to upgrade to something with more precision (it was hard for it to resist iPad’s light control) and I was always concerned about my workflow relying on an app, knowing apps are not stable or reliable. Thanks for the legacy version, but who knows how long that will last. I’m moving on with a cinematic camera. Thanks for the good years, Filmic..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Rip offSo I purched “filmic pro”. Not “Filmic pro ver6.” The difference is I purchased to app fair and square for good or bad now they up and Change a number and call it ver 7 what a lot of bull. Just a revenue money grab. I call for toilet paper. Wipe your chin you over inflated app, your ego will bring your demise..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Switch to Cinema P3!!Nothing makes me more furious than when a company switches to a subscription model after people have already purchased so many pro upgrades! And then to top it all off they take all the positive reviews from their last app and move it to this app by using a loophole! Shameless and unethical. Switch to Cinema P3 NOW and don’t pay a penny to filmic pro. If they do this to their existing, long time customer base, what else will they do in the future? Cinema P3 if Just as good and has 99% of the features and are innovating constantly..Version: 6.21.4
✓ Intentionally a sleezy move.Intentionally making it painful to use the app you already paid for is a terrible move. It’s your new subscription app, not mine, so make another app and leave me alone. When I open an app, I expect to see the one I paid for, period. Don’t make it so painful (intentionally I might add) so as to make people subscribe just to end it. Nice move making existing users manually move all their clips and also wiping out all their saved settings. How could you not see these comments coming? Either you knew it and don’t care or you are incompetent..Version: 6.21.2
✓ App held hostageI’m cool with changing your business model, when presented with the option I typically choose the subscription model to ensure access to the latest features. However; 1. changing the model, 2. replacing my paid for app with said model, 3. instructing me to download a new ”legacy” in order to access functionality that I paid for then 4. forcing me to agree to new terms to use the app seems sneaky at best. Make a new thing explain the Benefits and allow me to make the decision. In short I’m out..Version: 6.21.4
✓ Shame on the developersI went on a trip and busted out my phone to use filmic to capture some nature. Well the app wouldn’t load, why? Because it wanted to do some licensing check or load some bs nag screen when I was in the forest without any data signal. I do not want to upgrade to another version because I paid good money for this app and I want to be able to access it when I want to and not be nagged every time to upgrade..Version: 6.22.1
✓ Filmic not so ProI hole heartedly agree with the other comment about making people subscribe after paying for the service in the first place. This is poor service and I have now deleted the app..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Total RubbishWhen using tele on my iPhone 14 Pro the phot is just a crop of the 9mm lens. Very poor..Version: 6.22.1
✓ Stopped working after 6.22 updateIt doesn't start recording when you hit the record button. Just stays at 00:00 I wonder if they're putting the legacy app to graveyard..Version: 6.22.0
✓ Can’t trust this companyVery shady business practices by this developer. Been paying for the upgrades for years, but now that the app has been switched to a very expensive subscription, you lost another longtime customer forever. The app was never that great anyway, too unreliable with all the bugs..Version: 6.21.4
✓ I paid $15 and then they make you have to pay a subscription smhAt least advertise this better or give me my money back. I paid for the app I should not have to pay a subscription. At least give your Loyal Customers v7 free and make a new feature pack to pay for instead like a package rather than completely limiting your app we paid for under a subscription paywall..Version: 6.21.2
✓ I WANT A REIMBURSEMENT.I paid for an app that is not longer working properly. Filmic Legacy 6 is not even available in the store. Let’s say I buy your yearly subscription. Let’s say it is amazing, let’s say I want it. But the only way I’d do that, is if the money I used to purchase the previous app, go towards the new one. In other words, there SHOULD be a discount of EXACTLY the same amount of money previously paid or I want my money BACK. So, tell me which is it? Thank you..Version: 6.21.4
✓ What happened to my lifetime versionBad deceptive business practice! honour existing lifetime licences !.Version: 6.21.4
✓ So mad!I just got stopped by an update that didn’t say it was forcing me onto weekly subscription. I filmed some stuff, packed up my kit, then went to edit only to find I can’t access any clips until I subscribe to an app I already paid for. Unfair!.Version: 6.21.2
✓ You must be Joking!This was not cheap! I saved to buy this! I'm not rich! But now you want to take more of it! No way! Oh thanks for offering a "loyalty" discount? So for being loyal I get to pay more for a "new version".Version: 6.21.4
✓ Forced subscriptions?Highway robbery. Paid for this years ago only to be told today that we must pay a “subscription” to keep using the app. Ridiculous as well as a low blow. You have lost yet another customer. The new version should be for new clients, not ones who already purchased it with the understanding that we wouldn’t have to pay for subscriptions. We should at least be credited for our initial payment..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Pop-Ups Stop Recording…I went to record a two hour concert of a band that I haven’t seen in this area for eight years. Even though I had airplane mode on, cellular data off and the phone silenced, there were two times I got a pop-up about the v7 while I was recording and unknowingly lost 10 minutes or so before I realize I needed to push the record button again. i’m hoping it was just a glitch or a bug. Question: The next time I need to record something lengthy, can I subscribe to the V7 for that week and will it prevent pop-ups over on the V6 until the sub expires?? Thanks.Version: 6.22.1
✓ I used to love Filmic ProBut subscription for a camera app? Charged *per week?* No thank you. I will be using a competitor when I find a suitable replacement. It's a shame this release is just to attempt to get people to switch over..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Stopped working on iPhone 14 ProApp freezes and does not show anything moving.Version: 6.21.4
✓ How do I regain my Purchase? Legacy!? Nonsense, refund or reinstall.Let’s see if acanada’s comsumer protection laws can help here. I’ve got time and money- retired. What a hustle. Remember when the App Store was reliable?.Version: 6.21.4
✓ Cannot login FIXED!Trying to follow their own instructions you will get stuck in an endless loop where you cant actually ever log in. However, go into the filmic app hit information, then you have to scroll down to the bottom of the list to enter the legacy app. Then it asks for permissions and grants access. Going straight into app will not work. You must go through version 7 once and then subsequently you can go straight into legacy app. Very unclear. They should have explained more clearly..Version: 6.21.2
✓ Why oh whyWhy are you constantly asking me to download filmic pro subscription??? I am not gojng to upgrade. I already spent 30 quid on the old version before you changed it. Now you're bombarding me to upgrade.Version: 6.22.1
✓ The worst possible greedy business move!Congratulations and welcome to the list of greedy narcissistic devs! Love the dimmed logo for the legacy app icon, clever psychology and blatant! Reduce the look and feel of the legacy product to constantly remind so called valued customers who cannot afford ridiculously priced subscriptions and that they are on old software. For neurodiverse persons this can have a greater impact that you likely haven’t considered. You should write a book “How to ruin your reputation and credibility for dummies” bravo! Filmic Pro I’m done!.Version: 6.21.2
✓ Someone should do a class-action lawsuitLike so many others, I paid for FilmicPro only to see it *replaced* by a subscription-based model. This is thievery, violating the product as advertised, then cynically slapping on a “Legacy” tag as if it’s a piece of great analog gear or something. If you want to make more money, make a *different product* then charge that however you want to. Don’t take an existing project, cripple it, and change the rules after purchase. Subscriptions are a joke. Whoever buys into that is a fool..Version: 6.21.4
✓ Bait and switchYour company should be sued to be honest. I paid $100 for the app bundle and features only for your company to make it subscription based less than a year later while leaving us with an app that will likely be less usable and more prone to exploits and vulnerabilities as time goes on. The least that your company, Filmic Pro, can do is give decent updates to the app (not updates that will break the app) from time to time. But you won’t even do that. One day some of you companies are going to learn the hard way. Do right by your customers. We made you..Version: 6.22.1
✓ Beware, price and agreement changes no noticeI like the app, v6…. Was one of a handful worth paying for. V7 now wants more money and a subscription. Buyer beware! Scam! Company will bait and switch you!.Version: 6.21.4
