MoviePro Remote Reviews

MovieProRemote would be marvelous if only it worked. Unfortunately this is not the case as MovieProRemote works only when it wants to and there is no telling when.

My set ups were as follows:

1. iPhone 12 Pro Max loaded with Movie Pro and iPhone 5s loaded with MPRemote. It worked with one or two features disabled. Lag was significant but still acceptable.

2. iPhone 12 Pro Max with Movie Pro and iPhone 12 with MPRemote. Everything worked fine until it stopped working apparently for no reason. After reloading, the apps worked minus manual color correction. The next day they worked fine again until they quit again.

3. iPhone 12 Pro Max with movie Pro and iPhone 6 with MPRemote. This didn’t even start working. We reloaded everything, uninstalled and installed everything again, but to no avail.

In conclusion, the best set up turned out to be two iPhones 12, which is an expensive proposition, but even then a smooth continuous operation cannot be assured. That is really unfortunate because Movie Pro is - at least theoretically - a better app than it’s competition Filmic Pro.

When IOS displays a system message on the iPhone running the matching camera app, such as a 20% battery warning, this remote app fails. If any other IOS or iPadOS device running MovieProRemote connects to a network where MovieProRemote is already being used, that first remote control session is blown away and the camera app it was controlling may crash. The design is simply awful.

I agree with the previous review, do you need a version of the movie pro remote for the I watch. Also, it would be nice if it could be compatible with selfie remotes. I have a UB size selfie remote, I wanted to use it with MoviePro, and it doesn’t seem to work.

It does not work.

Running MP on iPhone 8+ and Remote on SE. Love the freedom it gives me to shoot video as one man crew.
I do wish:
1. The Remote could trigger the still photo option that’s within the camera app.
2. The the stills within MovieProRemote had a TIFF or RAW quality setting.
Those features would save me a lot of time and keep me in the MoviePro universe longer.

Really disappointing. Touching the reticles seem to have no effect so I can’t control what is in focus and the feed is not live. I’ve found it to be delayed by as much as a minute so it’s not helpful at all. I just saw that an update is coming soon I really hope so, otherwise I’ll bite the bullet and pay for Filmic Pro.

Regularly, the remote app disconnects from Movie Pro camera. This occurs in a stable network environment. There is no error or notification provided.
Apple iPad Air - Remote
Apple iPhone 6s - Movie Pro
Both devices on latest iOS and updated to latest MoviePro/Remote.

Thank you for attention to this issue.

The remote freezes whether in the middle of recording or even in standby mode. It also out of sync even with fast wifi connection. Using iphone x and 7+ so I don't think the phone speed is the problem.
