Not a photo camera
Mistakingly bought it thinking it could do photos as well as videos. Which is a shame, the video stuff looks good. But I wanted a regular photo app. Tried getting a refund through Apple but it was refused and wouldn’t say why.
Description
Make great video easy! Kino lets you just press record and create cinematic video with color presets created by expert filmmakers—no edit required. Plus, with “AutoMotion,” the app automatically creates that smooth "film look" you see at the movies. Shoot great video with no film school required.
Are you an experienced filmmaker? Kino includes all the features you need to shoot like a Pro, such as a full manual mode, focus peaking, color waveform, audio meters, and more. If you’re experienced in color, you can import LUTs quickly and use the same powerful Instant Grade feature to output video with baked in LUTs.
Regardless of your skill level, Kino adapts to your needs. Pick your experience level when setting up the app to dial things in your way or go with recommended, simple settings. The beautiful, simple interface shows only essential things, while keeping powerful features under thumb’s reach.
INSTANT GRADE
Kino comes packed with pro color presets by experts like Stu Maschwitz, Sandwich Video, Evan Schneider, Tyler Stalman and Kevin Ong. With one tap, you can shoot video with cinematic, film-like color by selecting a Grade preset. With Instant Grade, you don’t have to apply it later or do any editing steps: Kino just saves the processed video for you, ready to share.
LEARN ALONG
Getting started with video? The Kino team has a free series of lessons prepared you can dive into right away to learn filmmaking with the app. Start out with our simple recommended settings and enroll in a lesson plan to get lessons emailed to you that are easy to follow and let you unlock every feature of the app to use for making better videos.
PRO TOOLS
Kino’s simple interface does not mean it lacks in powerful pro tools. Start out with automatic exposure with EV adjustment and AE and WB lock, or drop into full manual mode with shutter speed, angle and ISO adjustment. Compose a shot with the grid with built in level, check exposure with the RGB waveform, and pull focus with focus peaking. Kino can store your recordings in Files instead of Photos for better and easy shot management, and even features a screen lock to prevent inadvertent taps messing up your shot. Set custom recording settings (like 4K 60FPS Apple Log ProRes422HQ on iPhone 15 Pro) or get started with presets for flexibiltiy.
BEAUTIFUL INTERFACE
Thoughtful touches are abound in Kino: from a screen-wide telltale ring to show you are recording, to beautiful custom typography throughout with our own bespoke fonts, Kino balances beauty and simplicity with flexibility and control for users of any skill level.
AUTOMOTION
Get cinematic motion like in feature films. Introducing: AutoMotion. Kino biases exposure towards a 180° shutter speed by default. If you land in this sweet spot, and available light supports it, the ‘Auto’ label turns green — showing you are in the sweet spot for great cinematic motion. Bright day out? Pop an ND filter on your iPhone and don’t worry about adjusting manual settings: Kino will take care of prioritizing shutter angle so you can just shoot and get great results.
LUT FRIENDLY
One of the powerful aspects of Kino is being able to download new looks from your favorite creators or your own making. Author .cube LUT files in Pixelmator Pro, Davinci Resolve, or other apps (up to 33x33) and open them in Kino with a tap.
TRULY PRIVATE
None of our apps gather or collect data, or analyze your videos and photos. We believe the most important thing a camera can be is private.

Kino Reviews
Great app, just suggestion
I love the look and it does exactly what it says. I suggest getting the remote camera from Apple Watch working in synch with this. Unfortunately if you click remote camera app from Apple Watch it exists this app and opens native camera app.
Why do they insist on Mic access and full photo access?
Why do they insist on Mic access and Full access to all of my photos? Very suspicious
Fantastc app….
But that being said, I wish it had a few more features, so that I could rely on it as I do the Native camera app. I wish that It had a Zoom capability, that worked like the Native Video app, and so that like it all three lenses could work together in tandem when pulling a Zoom. I also wish it had better stabilization, on par with the native apps, which is outstanding. The stabilization is just okay, but it could be much better, if more effort were put in this department. I also wish I could set my focus points manually If I choose to do so, could create custom settings, and could most of all Preserve my chosen settings. Other than that, this is a GREAT camera app, that blows many of the others out of the waters (they’re not even in the same lake!). Keep on keepin’ on. LOVE IT, and GREAT JOB, You guys!!!✌🏻🌈
Just as Advertised
I’m really enjoying the cinematic touch this app gives iPhone videos. In so many ways, Apple hardware is capable of pro-level content. But the software is of course focused on everyday users, leaving a lot of potential unrealized. Apps like this one solve that problem for people who want to make pro-level stuff on a device in their pockets or who want their everyday stuff to look just right. A few feature requests: 1- Sliders on the color style options. All the LUTs look great for longer, movie-length works. But most of us are making 45-second stories and reels that need a more subtle look. 2- An iPad/Mac control and monitor app. This may be moot with iPhone mirroring now available on Mac. But it would allow us to use the front camera for talking head videos. 3- Something like Apple’s Cinematic/Portrait Mode. I know it’s distinctly not pro or cinematic, but it’s nice sometimes to blur the background a little more than the hardware allows for.
Ain’t all that
Yea not worth the money.
Incredible, just get it!
This app is amazing for travel! No frills, the built in LUTs are great, and I can just hand my phone to a family member to film without them needing to know anything about cameras! Keep up the good work and I appreciate you guys for making a great product 🍻
Not worth $10
Apple reviews gives rave reviews BUT I’m suspicious on their $10 fee as being motivation for their review. Blackmagic Cam is free and I think their interface is better. For what it’s worth . . .
Stop asking me to review
Every god dang time I open the app
Great but lacking a bit of
It’s cool in many aspects and I believe there are certain key features that would make it better such a process zero feature similar to halide, more intuitive manual control, adjustable LUT intensity, and seamless lens switching.
