Firstlight v1.0.3 is here. We have been keeping a close eye on the new app now that so many of you are taking great photos with it. We discovered a few things that needed some tweaks.
Resolved in this update:
- Fixed a crashing event related to viewing photos in the library.
- Optimized a couple of our film simulations based on additional data from the field.
- Fixed a bug where the photo capture format was not being preserved between app launches (worked fine for paid users, but was broken for free users).
- Performance optimization and other small bug fixes.
Stay tuned for a long list of new capabilities in the future. New film simulations for premium members are just around the corner too. As always if you have any questions or suggestions please email us at support@filmicpro.com

Terribly frustrating
Works ok but could use more features especially if it’s a subscription. However, I won’t be paying for it simply because the app is worthless if you have limited cell or WiFi service. Weak signals resulted in the app taking several minutes in some cases to open/switch to and resulted in too many missed shots. Maybe this was the app trying to verify my subscription status

Please update for Anamorphic 1.55X Moment Lens!!!
I love this app for shooting B&W photography with the 1.33x Moment lens for awhile now but there’s no option in the settings to change for the 1.55x Anamorphic lens that are now available. Please give us a quick external lens swap button on the main camera page and or in the settings menu. 🙏🙏🙏

Almost Perfect
I appreciate the additional control this tool gives over the built in iPhone camera app and its simplicity. However, there are a few important features I feel are missing for which the implementation of would earn my final star:
- The lack of a digital zoom. I’m aware pinch can be difficult as per the implementation of the exposure/focus, but even a rotary style dial would be appreciated.
- The inability to set the shutter speed longer than 1 second. Even the built in camera app can go for longer with night mode.
- No horizontal shooting. It’s annoying that I have to go into my default gallery

Add a Filter-Save function!!
Great app, workflow, etc. Two downsides/feature requests though: 1) ability to set a default filter that is enabled when the app launches would be a huge time saver. 2) many filters feel a bit extreme, kinda longing for the less obtrusive but film-genuine filters from RNI here. But I love the grain effects, UI, and Leopold filter on this and it’s become my go-to shooting app.

Don’t buy for serious photography
I like the filmic pro video app but filmic pro firstlight is a stripped down version of the iphone camera app with “filters” and focus peaking. You cannot control white balance, iso and shutter simultaneously, can’t change f stop, etc. I think in their attempt to make a simple interface they made a overly simplistic camera app that is not better than the stock iphone camera app. You can apply film grain, vignettes in post and don’t need a “camera app” to apply them at the time of capture. That is the main feature of this app. It seems harsh but this was a total waste of $8. Please do not make

Be warned, last IOS update 15 really screwed this app up
Now locked into portrait mode, but image is rotated 90 to the right. View during picture taking is jerky and sluggish. I don’t think this is the fault of this developer, it is happening in another photo app from another developer too, almost the exact same problems. This on an iPad Mini 5, updated to IOS 15. Wouldn’t you think Apple would test their updates on their popular and pay for photo apps before they release them?

LOVE IT, but I CAN NOT use it.
The way this app has implemented the cross swipe behaviour of adjusting exposure balance and focus in one sweep of a thumb is something that I truly love. However, that works fine for this content to let the camera do all work automatically…but the stock photos app also does the same. Therefore I believe the target audience of this app are those who want more control. I am that audience. So now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, I have to say that I feel cheated.
Firstly, most people in my category shoot RAW first, NOT JPEG. The stock app already shoots JPEG so there’s no need to pay ext

Doesn’t support “selected photos” privacy feature
Apple introduced a feature where you could allow an app to just have access to a selected set of photos and not the entire photo library. Firstlight is one of the many apps that still requires access to the entire photo library. I value my privacy and don’t want to give access to the entire photo library, which means Firstlight doesn’t work at all.

Great app! Found bug
This is a great app for what I need it for. Im using an external anamorphic lens and it had the option to de-squeeze the image which is perfect! However...
Ive noticed a thin diagonal line after taking the shots. Through the viewfinder I don't see this line but after it saves to my album I can see the same line in every photo. I tried other apps and even the stock camera app and this only happens with this app. I hope the developers see this and come up with a quick fix!
All in all the app gives you more control over your camera and the ability to take the perfect shot every time! Perfect

Unintuitive, not what I was expecting
I love Filmic Pro for video. Everything about their app makes sense to me, and I regretted only that I couldn’t use it to take stills. Unfortunately, this app is not that. Their interface is unintuitive, and I some how got it locked in a weird high ISO mode where every picture I take is distorted and awful. I’m sure I just don’t know how to use the app, but it doesn’t make sense to me.
Would love a filmic pro for stills, though, and would gladly pay $8 for that app.

Underwhelming!
I read the most critical reviews that mostly pointed out displeasure with the subscription. Now the app is one-time pay. But it really doesn’t have anything that other free apps such as Google’s Snapseed or substantially lower priced Camera +2 doesn’t give. I expected better control over white balance, more film simulation (compare VSCO). Yes, the developer will come back with the usual “better experience “ line, but I’m sorry, they are just riding the success of their video app to pedal a poorly equipped mediocre camera app.

Love it! Feels like Street Cam
At first I missed the lack of pinch to zoom, but now I’m using firstlight more like a pro street cam. I’d rather not digitally zoom if it can be avoided... better to use the whole sensor and use your feet to zoom. You can always just crop after the fact if you need to and this is all digital zoom is doing anyway.
I like the ease of use and the organic looking film simulations. For color images my favs are Chrome Veloura and Koda. For b&w my go to is Bingham, but Salt is nice too. Then noir is also excellent for graphic looks.
My own taste doesn’t favor the faded instant film simulations, but

Now a one time purchase!
Subscriptions for one time coded features are very exploitive so thank you for... seeing the light 😁 Was an instant purchase for me and I'm very happy with the polish and great work you did with the app. It does still crash on occasion (specifically when accessing the shortcut button) but I trust you to continue to support it. Thanks!

RAW files blurry viewed in App
I really like this app in almost everything except for the fact that when I take photos in RAW (DNG) they look blurry when I review them in the app, however, when I review the same photo in Photos, they look focused and sharp. Maybe it’s just a small bug but annoying to not be able to see the real thing right away while shooting. Everything else is fine.

Interface really needs work.
Nice addition but the interface really lacks. Not a fan of the rounded corners especially since the final photo does not have them nor does your video app. And just like the video app would be nice to have the shutter button top right when shooting landscape, a bit more convenient for one handed use. Also gets annoying that switching lenses takes two taps. So just to see my zoom lens and then go back takes 4 taps! After a while that gets ridiculous. Biggest annoyance is that my iPhone rotation setting reverts my options for exposure and focus gestures. Very bad. That setting should have no eff

For the creative shooter
I rarely leave reviews, but I have to express my appreciation for this thoughtfully crafted photo app. It feels like a tool designed specifically for those of us who appreciate the unique latitudes and limitations of shooting on film. It comes with plenty of options when flexibility in post is required, but there’s something special about committing to a shot without getting bogged down in editing that I can really appreciate. Firstlight will be a mainstay for me. Thanks, Filmic.

Excellent Camera App
FiLMic Team have done it again. I can now delete several other apps. This is a fully a professional camera system. My backpack just got lighter.
The premium subscription is inexpensive when you consider that others charge for new upgrades routinely.

Good form from Filmic
I preordered this app and loved the function but thought it was ridiculous to need a subscription to access the RAW photo options. I’m glad to see the Filmic team has reversed this and found a new profit model. I’m not against companies making a living, but that was a bit much
With that said, Firstlight has moved to my goto photo app replacing Halide. Firstlight is really simple to use, I can get shots setup quickly, and the peaking makes sure I’m focused where I want to be.

So disappointed 😔
When I saw that Filmic made a still photo app I stopped reading the article I was reading immediately and went to go buy it. The camera seems good and simple but I will never use apps that require a subscription unless I have to. I will gladly pay up to $60 for a lifetime purchase but the subscription kills it completely for me. Yea I know that’s “the way of the future” but it’s still disappointing.

Making moves...
The app is great, pretty intuitive. I’ve only been using it for a little while and have yet to use it in a professional setting. It’s a little slow on the trigger tho and so you’re not sure you’ve got the shot until it shows in the camera roll. Definitely use some type of stabilizer until you get use to the way it functions, it’s good that they have a big shutter button. However I do like the familiar feel from using FilMic Pro and it has the desqueeze feature for anamorphic lenses. I love that I can shoot RAW DNG & TIFF files, the histogram is like right there and it doesn’t get into the way.
