  • Awesome App

    I don’t usually write review but this app is so amazing I have to leave a review. The app does what it suppose to do, help coral show more coral under blue led and I also like how easy to use this app is, I can locate thing very easily. The only problem I have with this app is that whenever I record something and I watch that recorded video in the app it will stall and force me to restart the app but overall it’s a amazing app, worth the money
  • Nice app but desperately needs a little update love

    Nice app, does what it says for the most part. It hasn’t been updated in 5 years. I was on the edge about paying $3 for an app that hasn’t been touched in that long. I may get a refund. There are tons of little bugs and quality of life issues that can be smoothed out. For example, true support for the new phones and their cameras. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and the final picture quality after taking a picture is better than the stock cam but still meh - blurry grainy low quality. Hope the dev comes back!

    On it! Thanks for the feedback. Good to see it’s still working all these years but agreed it’s time to take advantage of all the hardware upgrades.
  • Could be 5star if issue resolved

    Using this with an orange filter I can make corals look exactly like I’m seeing (without orange filter). I can also make them look like how they are when I’m viewing them with an orange filter. Very easy to adjust with only three sliders.

    Issue: A lot of the photos I take don’t end up in my iPhones photos library. Not sure why. If this was fixed I’d give it a
  • Works pretty good with color but picture quality isn’t the best

    This app definitely helps with the color correction of overly blue pictures, however, the quality of the pictures isn’t perfect… In some previous reviews the developer has stated he will be upgrading the quality of pictures as new phones are capable of handling it but I am on the 14 pro max (the latest/highest camera of any iphone so far) and my pictures come out slightly fuzzy. I think another good feature this app needs is camera stabilization to reduce some of what seems like motion blur from natural hand shaking. Tried to see if there was a feedback spot to recommend these to the developer personally but couldn’t find anything.
  • Not Automatic?!?

    I want to point my camera and take a picture. I thought this app did that. I guess I was wrong. Can’t even find a way to reset the settings back to their defaults. I wish this app did what I hoped it would do, but sadly it does not.
  • Poor design

    This ap does not filter the colors as it should. Leaves an iridescent hugh around the corals. Not we’ll thought out at all.
  • Disappointment

    Was hoping this would be the answer for taking coral pics on my 12 pro. No matter what I adjust (gel, white balance, RGB colors, etc) orange doesn’t come through in the pictures. Also the images all come out blurry/low quality. Even if the colors were coming out correctly, I wouldn’t want to share them based on quality.

    Thanks for the review and super sorry to disappoint. One thing that helps a lot of users is to start with the auto gel feature first to see what kind of color shaping that will do. Basically the app assesses the scene and determines what color gel to place over the image. Then from there you can often dial in your other values. We’ll be bumping the resolution soon as the reason we didn’t prior is that it was crashing the previous phone as we’re analyzing the scene at a very high frame rate. The app was originally created to work with the iPhone X so given the gpu upgrades since then we’re close to being able to make a big bump in final output quality. Thanks for downloading and stay tuned.
  • Works pretty well!

    I’m pretty impressed about this app! So far it is working good for me. Takes a little bit to figure out but definitely cheaper than buying actual lens’s.
  • Never knew this was an option!

    Did some searching on the interwebs and found some talk about this app on Reef2Reef… thought I’d give it a try for $4. Not disappointed! I can now take pretty gangster pics of my marine tanks with the actenic lighting on and they turn out very nice without blueing out!
    Haven’t played around with it too much yet, but very pleased with the results just in the default mode!
    Winning.

    Thanks for checking it out and so glad it’s doing it’s thing for your tank!
  • Performs worse than my iphone camera

    I definitely think it’s a waste of money, looking to get my money back, this app and it’s filters make it look a lot worse than the iphone camera. Forget about the blues and the dimmed photo, this app completely blurs everything out. Very disappointed.
