User Reviews: CameraSim for iPhone

Top reviews

  • Awesome idea but severely lacking

    There is only 1 image for you to play with - the app description talks about multiple examples for you to play with, but it is the same image with different simulated lighting scenarios. Also every time you snap a “picture” the app makes a shutter sound, even if you have your phone volume off. Great idea for an app and I want to like it, but it is severely lacking currently.
  • Photo 101

    Very helpful for beginners like me
  • Cool concept...

    But once you get the settings right on the one and only example available, it's pretty useless. I definitely feel that I just wasted my money on this.
  • Love it!!!!

    I simply love it!!! I think the maker should keep it up so it can be run with new iPhone versions and maybe other images for the examples. Please keep it alive. We need it.
  • Read the description carefully ...

    ... this is what happens when you don't do it. The idea is that you practice controls on an app given picture. This is not a simulator on real pictures you are taking. I shoot film, so I needed a real controller app, to later take the picture. Not worth the money, for me.
  • Needs more content

    It was cool for about 5 minutes. That's how long it took me to find out that if I use the exact same camera settings on EVERY shot I get a "good shot" but if I change them on any example it is off. They need to add a bunch more examples under a wide variety of lighting and motion situations and then it be awesome. Right now there are a bunch of examples of the EXACT same situation-- a little girl with a pinwheel swaying under overcast skies. The same settings work best for every example so it gets boring and useless fast.
  • Pretty good

    It's a pretty good little app but I can't use it right now because there is no way to turn off the sound of the shutter clicking. The only time I can sit down and play with this app is when my baby is asleep and it wakes her up everytime. Which makes it basically unusable for me 😕 please make this more user friendly? It's a great tool just needs more options.
  • Waiting for more features on next update

    This is a perfect simulator. I wonder why some expect this to be a real cam! This is just a simulator to show basics of DSLR cams.
  • More Scenarios

    Other than what I request from the title, it's really great. If my professor is sharing this app with us in college to help us explain the basic principles of taking a photo, I'm pretty sure that's worth saying something.
  • Scenarios

    Need new scenarios. Christmas trees with lights, indoor theater, landscapes etc...
