Pearla is a professional camera app built for photographers and filmmakers who need complete control and high-quality results. This version introduces Pearla III — a significant update that brings a new interface, improved color management, and a rebuilt architecture designed for reliability, flexibility, and performance. Pearla supports advanced workflows with manual controls, custom film emulation, and professional capture formats. It separates photo and video settings, supports external drives and HDMI output, and gives you direct access to files through a built-in media manager. Pearla's film emulation engine enables detailed tonal control and custom recipes designed to replicate the look and feel of classic film stocks. For those working with Log capture, Pearla offers expanded support for popular Log profiles, waveform monitoring, and new tone mapping controls. Whether you're shooting for a client, documenting everyday life, or building a personal archive, Pearla is designed to support a focused, intentional creative process. Subscription pricing and terms: A subscription is required to use Pearla. Pearla offers an auto-renewing yearly subscription to provide you with unlimited access to all features while you maintain an active subscription. Pearla requires an iPhone device running iOS 18 or later.

A Filmmaker’s Dream with a Few Hiccups
17/10/2025

Pearla has quickly become my go-to for adding that authentic cinematic vibe to my videos. The open gate recording feature is a game-changer, letting me capture footage in a taller aspect ratio that feels truly professional. But what really sets it apart are the filmic emulations—they’re not just gimmicky filters; they’re thoughtfully crafted to mimic real film stocks, giving your shots depth and character. And the film grain? Oh man, it’s the best I’ve seen in any app. It adds that perfect organic texture without overpowering your footage—total magic! with 3 grain size settings and 3 grain strength settings, you can always get the perfect look. That said, it’s not perfect. The interface takes some getting used to; it’s packed with options that can overwhelm newbies at first. The subscription model stings a bit too—why not a one-time purchase option? And saving files? It’s needlessly convoluted, forcing extra steps that disrupt your workflow.Overall, if you’re into creative video editing and don’t mind the learning curve, Pearla’s worth it for those emulation and grain tools alone. Highly recommend for aspiring cinematographers!Slight update: when I originally downloaded this app I had access to 60 fps and 199 Mbps but now that I downloaded again for my new iPhone, those options have been removed and the Max options are 30 fps at 99 Mbps.

Tons of Potential but UI is Horrible

I will start by saying that I did purchase the yearly subscription for this app. Everything that is included in this app is well worth the money and very well done, however, there is one major flaw, the UI. As a tech nerd, as someone who has ran a media business now for nine years, and if someone who is around various different types of technology each and every day, I struggle to even find my way around this app. I’m not sure if there are bugs still being worked out, but there are numerous times when the toggle to switch from video to photo mode is just gone and I literally cannot even use the app for what I need it for. Ever since upgrading to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, the front camera is also completely broken on the app. Whenever you enter selfie mode, the video turns the entire selfie camera to landscape, however, not like you’re filming in landscape, like you rotated a vertical video into landscape, very frustrating and annoying. There is also very little intuitiveness when it comes to any sort of design help or accessibility, at times you can’t even figure out how to advance to the next screen because there are no buttons, everything is a slide over mentality, which is fine, but half the time it doesn’t work. In the end, definitely has a ton of potential and I really enjoy what it is, but they really need to work on a few things that I mentioned as it basically at least to me, makes the app completely unusable.

poor ui

I want to like this app so bad the UI has always been so over complicated and hard to use they really just need to hire a new company to redo the thing entirely instead of just tweaking it. when you go to your gallery the picture pops up as a full screen with the rest of your pictures below them to be scrolled through but there are no buttons at all to get out of this screen and go back to seeing them all in a grid. swiping up or down sometimes work to get you out of it to go back to the camera. you used to be able to see a preview of each film emulation filter but now you have to go to settings, click on the filter, go back to the camera to check it, then go back to the setting screen to change it again. instead of seeing them as you are changing them like any other camera app. I also cant figure out how to save the pictures or export at all because there are no settings or buttons in the gallery when viewing your images. You can just view them, but they are not showing up in my iphone gallery at all. I had “save photos to gallery” toggled off but now that I turned it on there is no way to save my previous pictures to my gallery unless I screenshot them. Overall very poor ui and frustrating experience

Honest Take After Usage

For starters, 4K open gate is amazing, love it, Love the grain, love taking photos, The image quality you can get is amazing, i haven’t touched the base camera app for a while, however there are persistent issues i must point out.1. Applying a Monitor LUT freezes the live preview2. UI is nice but a bit impractical, the concept of swiping is cool but it would be easier to make a toggle option to use buttons instead, at times it seems like the swipe feature just decides to not work, maybe user error, but Id rather just have a button so i don’t miss a moment because I was changing my grain level.3. I deeply hate having to scroll to enable auto features (white balance for example) it would be easier to make it a toggle option to “Auto”
