Do other manufactures shoot in the log mode that this is specifically taking advantage of? If not, there's no point of it from any other millions of apple on the Play store.

There are apps for Android that allow you to record RAW video (eg: MotionCam Pro). You'll need an equivalent Android though. A high end Samsung, Sony, OnePlus, etc, supports this. A random $50-100 Android phone probably won't.

That's a super good point. My guess is any shop building apps like this are going to be doing it using some very OS specific system frameworks and are going to have a lot of domain knowledge in either android or iOS. It just doesn't make a lot of sense to pivot given the cost I suspect.

> Speaking of accidental taps, when gripping the side of your phone to keep things stable, we found it too easy to accidentally tap buttons. I have this problem CONSTANTLY with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, not when filming, but when doing everyday tasks. Something about the edge of the phone is such that a bit of my palm goes over just enough of the screen to trigger gestures, and now the YouTube video I’m watching is doub…

I frequently have exactly the same double speed issue on YouTube, nice to know I'm not the only one

I will say I love this feature on my iPad (touch the screen and hold without moving, the video will be 2x until you let go) but I wish it could be turned on on a per-device basis.

Standard marketing language, used especially in the features and series film industry. The Avengers is MCU tentpole IP.

Yeah, I am quite interested in the app but I would need this cleared up as I have an iPhone 13 Pro.

The ability to record in log is very important. Without log, you're never going to get the results as advertised on the box. You can attempt to grade any footage from any camera with any color grade software, but with a huge amount of limitations. When recording in a format that is not "log", you will have already trashed the majority of data an app like this needs to make those subtle adjustments. In log, the highli…

Unfortunately that's what I figured was likely to be the case.

"one simple principle: make good products and charge money for them." Thank you for the one-time purchase option. It's a win already on today's software world.

I just looked at two pomodoro apps on the app store, one had a one-time purchase fee, the other had a subscription only model. It's a freaking pomodoro app! I can't believe I have to pay for that in the first place (why doesn't the countdown app of Apple not have a widget =.=) but a subscription? People are greedy af.

If you don't mind a PWA, I like this:

Never heard it in any context in tech other than Apple.
