Now I really like this app, very good because the iPod has a very bad camera for lenses flares, so this is good for enhancing those. That being said, there is the problem of not being able to choose what you want flares on and what you don't. It puts a flare on anything that's brighter than what the exposure is set on. But that's just a consequence for having real time flares added. On the flip side, the frame rate and filters make a very professional video if you know what you're doing. And on that note, if you want to take a picture with this app, just take a video without shaking the camera much and then take a screenshot of the video. Works pretty well for me. All in all, a good app, but not always what you may want. Still worth it in my opinion.

Minecraft is awesome yeah!

You won't become a filmmaker overnight, especially with an app like this. I want to love it, I really do. But I just can't. Expansion is overpriced for such cheap quality. You won't get "real" anamorphic lens flares with this app, not sure what I was expecting. It just senses the brightest parts of a video and puts a blue lens distortion on it like the ones you would see on a bad resolution stock image site. Only blue lens flares, computer generated. To go on it shoots max 25 fps, even a Xbox 360 gamer has higher standards. The video stabilization is good but with all combined it ends up not being minutely worth it. Don't waste your time. Be smart. If you want real anamorphic I'd recommend MoonDog Labs anamorphic iPhone lens. That's as close to big picture quality anamorphic footage as you will ever get. Unless of course, you have thousands of dollars to spend on a DSLR/Cinema camera with another thousand dollar lens on top of it. But the chances of that happening are probably slim.

Compared to the price of actually getting a real anamorphic Lens and camera that can actually use it, I am pleased with what I got for the most part but there are 2 things I'd love to be added. Please add a no color filter option and also, if possible, a flat color profile. I personally love shooting my video and make color correcting and color grading myself. With all these filters though, I have limited control over what my video can look like. The most natural look is Sunset but even at that it is and extremely warm image. By getting both of these people can have much more control over their final products look and get more of what they want.
