Absolutely Horrible Exposure

Don’t waste your time until the developer fixes this app. Horrible exposure with latest iPhone and iOS. Actually, shockingly bad with blown out whites and nothing to commend it. Can’t even use and asked for a refund.

Not able to add the app to my Home Screen or Lock Screen

The product description says ‘add the app to your Lock Screen’ but provides no instructions on how to do so. I can’t even get the app to show on my Home Screen.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review! To add the widget to your lock screen, it’s just like any other widget. Long press on your lock screen, customise, then tap either above or below the clock, and look for the LUMA app in the list of apps. The app does not yet support Home Screen widgets, but this will come soon. Happy shooting!

Paid to unlock but still shows pending in App Store purchases

Not sure how to query this but 24 hours ago I paid to unlock the app and it still says I’m using the free version. I think I’d just like a refund as i have other Raw apps that I could use?

Response from developer

Hello, I am incredibly sorry to hear this. The app checks appstore receipts every time it launches to verify the unlock, so if this is not working for you - have you tried hitting the “Restore” button to restore purchases and force a receipt check? Hope it works out for you, Rafal

Good but crashes

Seems like a good app, like the controls for manually taking photos. But setting presets on taken photos crashes the app on iPhone X.

Response from developer

This issue has been fixed with v2.2. Thanks for the review

Good app, wish it worked for my phone better

Love the ability to adjust shutter speed and iso. Wish there was a way to show how much details I’m losing to shadows and highlights.

The preset function does not work for my SE 2020.

Response from developer

Hello! Thank you for your review. I have updated the app - with v1.5 available now, presets will work on all devices iOS 15 and up, and editing will work for devices with 3GB of RAM or more. I have completely rebuilt the photo processor, so it should be much faster and more stable! Rafal

15.6System incompatibility

Please update in time.

Response from developer

v1.5 is now compatible with iOS 15.0 and up.

Kind of cool.

Great that it is offline, has good exposure controls. Focus controls are non existent. If you turn off autofocus it just locks the focus at the current focal length. Great indicators. Great pro raw and raw formatting for post production! Probably would get 5 stars if 1) some focal control was added 2) app stops asking me all the time to rate it 😂.

v1.1 is out now! Let me know what you think of it. Old reply: Super sorry about the ratings, it doesn’t happen all the time (on most devices I’ve tested it only shows up once). I’m a solo developer so appreciate the support - this upcoming one is going to be big 😊 Revising the UI to make it even faster to use, whilst including the focus slider from the original LUMA app. I have a question - how often do you shoot RAW vs ProRAW? I have an inkling to keep this app being simpler and shoot RAW only. It would be great if you could let me know, either via this review or instagram @luma.camera Thanks! Rafal

Umande

Needing of using a tool that allows me to deliver the best of my creativity is always welcome. Unfortunately, this app disappoints me.
* The shutter button does not trigger,
* Can't switch from the main camera to a different focal or to the front camera while we have a button
* Autofocus remains locked
* Entering the Info, can't return back to the main window or close it, the X button doesn't work

The only positive thing is the interface/Ui

What I can say is that the app is not ready yet.
I'm using iphone 13 PM

Response from developer

Hello Umande, it would be great if you could provide more information regarding your problems, perhaps over email or instagram? This app has over 50,000 downloads worldwide, and I have extensively tested in on 6 different devices, including the 13 Pro Max. I myself have taken over 3,000 photos at various focal lengths using this application, so I do know it works. PS. the lens switcher button only switches between rear lenses - the front camera is never used in this app, as this is not a camera app for selfies. Feel free to message me on Instagram @luma.camera or email luma@digitalarchitecture.xyz Rafal
