Used to be Great
GPS doesn't work anymore so you can't get reliable sunrise/sunset information. Don't bother attempting to contact developer, you won't get a response.Beta Test Next Time
GPS has not worked for some time now.
This WAS a great app, but what's the deal with the GPS for sunrise/sunset times no longer working? The option to auto-update is constantly greyed out, but the option to auto-update the date is not. You have to now manually enter longitude and latitude data (and who's going to do that). This feature has been non-functional for some time… way longer than it should have been as it is (and has always been) a primary feature of this app. I hope Ambertation can get this working soon. I don't really understand why it hasn't been addressed yet.Show lessAJT36

Conflicting Data
Drop down on the Sun & Moon page is giving me a later moonrise time than the chart. The chart has the accurate time.JSM1963
Could be better
Bought it for the flash exposure calculator. I wish I could program in a flash's gn # (maybe save all my flashes then select what one I am using) and select the power (1/2, 1/4, 1/8), ISO and distance. This would work more like the calculators built into some flashes (what I was hoping for)Jdetmold

I bought this app because it was recommended in a photography book. I'm not a professional photographer. The manual you can download from a computer needs a lot of work. It is hard to understand - needs much better instruction. I'm hoping to find a better set of instructions someone else may have written.
Can't find the grey wedge anywhere on the app. Am I missing something?
When I figure out how it works I will reevaluate.Show lessBook Walker
Could be great, but not now
Gps does not work
Needs a facelift and refine interface
This could potentially be an app I would pay 20 bucks for if developers kept it up to date and put more effort into it. Worthy of 5 stars once it's actually finished
How but it developers

PhotoBuddy 1.6
With 45 years experience in photography, I learned in an era before the current digital "smart cameras" could select the "perfect" exposure settings. I have a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III and appreciate automation, but sometimes for the optimum images, understanding manual exposure is critical. For depth of field assessment, Photobuddy is absolutely invaluable, dead-on accurate, and saves considerable time over the trial-and-error or "judge-through-a-darkened-stopped-down-lens" approach. It is easily worth the small price paid for the DOF calculations alone. If you spend any time with the sun and moon chart and use the blue arrows and "dropdowns", it works flawlessly, I use this feature for purposes other than photography (hunting) and can input and future date and get instant readouts. I have experienced no "low memory problems on my 3G iPhone. I cannot find the step wedge mentioned by other reviewers (feature removed?), and recommend to the author that the manual be updated (covers version 1.0).Show lessIonzr
great stuff but...
would be great to be able to measure distance with iphones other than 1st gen.
what happened to the grey card thing?Ross Gumbrell
Needs more exposure suggestions
Needs suggested exposure for more low light situations with variable ISO feature. Such as:
Star trails
Stationary stars
Candle light
Light painting
