Cinegraph - Living Photos

Update: for some reason, I don’t think there’s been an update, but it works perfect on my iPhone 11 Pro Max, so maybe there has been an update, but either way, great app, does what it’s suppose to, so that’s 5 stars from me now Old review: Don't waste your money on this until they come out with an update. They still have it to where the brush does not match up with your fingers so it makes it impossible to make what you want move without unintentionally making other things move as well. If you zoom in and try it you won't even be able to see what was marked until you zoom out because the brush does not match up with your finger Until they update their app to make the brush match with where you touch don't get this app. It's unusable. It should really be pulled from the App Store they're stealing from people

The tool doesn’t line up with where you’re drawing so you can never get an accurate effect. Don’t waste your money!

Masking is way off. Any try to mask the area results in a selection no where near the area I’m actually trying to isolate. Super frustrating. Refund please.

Perfect for freezing parts of a video and creating seamless loops. I was really glad to see the adjustments (shadows/contrast/color cast/etc) are easy to use and make the videos really pop. Super simple, intuitive interface but not lacking any features. I am imagining the lower reviews are from before a lot of improvements. It is so totally worth the small price tag in my opinion!!

I was playing around with Cinemagraph Pro, another app on the App Store, who wants $99 a year minimum (up to $299!) to remove the watermarks. I read the reviews for this app, and several reviews claimed the app didn’t work, or that the “cursor” was off when painting movement layers. It made me wonder if I was wasting $2, and if I should just purchase the $15/month, $99/year expensive app. However, the brush alignment is perfect on my phone. I don’t know what’s going on with other people. I’m on the newest hardware too, an iPhone XS Max. I’m so glad I bought this one! Yes the UI is a *little* clunkier, but it does all the same things that the expensive app does. Three hints: 1) use a tripod 2) record 4K video in the default camera app first 3) after you’ve imported the video into cinegraph, you can make Live Photos with another app called IntoLive (under $5) and now you have all the functionality of the $99 app!

This app works like Cinemagraph. It enables you to freeze sections of your video or Live Photo. A very affordable alternative. However, unlike what the description indicates, you cannot animate photos. Photos cannot be imported into the app unless they are Live Photos. The developers should update the description

When attempting to select the area to keep in motion, the app tracks my finger on a completely different part of the video, it makes it basically impossible to do anything. I have to guess where the app is going to track my finger, silly. Not worthy of more than one star until it gets fixed.

Description says create photos with motion. But you cant even upload photos. You have to create a photo from a video. Lame. Looper is better. Will request money back for misleading description

App is not working!

App is not easy to use and the effects are choppy at best. I even searched for a few videos on how to use the features because the app is not intuitive as prior reviews makes it seem and found zero assistance from Cinegraph user community...recommend you pass.
