MoviePro has just turned 5!

MoviePro ($4.99), a popular video camera app for iPhone, just hit the big five-point-oh. This powerful app has been around since 2012, and has seen a steady string of updates. According to the developer, Version 5 brings a truckload (my word, not theirs) of bug fixes and a few welcome enhancements including:

Directly record video in Camera Roll without delays in copying files.

Additional option “Move Video to Camera Roll” in savings option in app library. If you save recordings in App Library, you will find this feature handy to move one or many videos to camera roll in one go without delays in copying files and without any duplication.

Fixes for Focus, Exposure, WB settings : Your manual Focus, Exposure, WB settings are not reset if you go and come back from other screens in the app.

Improved documentation in info screens.

I’ve tried MoviePro on several occasions, but constant crashing always prevented me from becoming a regular user. With version 5, MoviePro’s developer appears to be on a bug hunt. With that in mind, I intend to give the app another whirl.
