In short
Cinema FV-5 is an Android movie app from FGAE. It is suitable for others.
Highlights
This is by FAR the BEST movie app on Android
Other than that this is the best video recording app around
Highly recommend this to others
Works well on Verizon Galaxy S5 with v5
Love the histogram and manual control feature while recording
Focus options are excellent
Works mostly fine on a OnePlus One
It has greatly helped with some past projects
But this is a great app nonetheless
This is actually a good app
Recording in UHD and accessing camera information both crash the app
No separate quality setting for back and front cam 3
The inability to change focus plane by swiping is a deal breaker
It fails to display anything from the camera feed
When I give the app a size limit it stops recording
Paid version Crashes on Samsung Tab S 8
No manual focus control or similar touch control features
The Exposure refuses to lock during recording under Camera API 1
Photo quality is also very grainy and dark for me
No reply from support after emailing problem report
