Ruined it
It no longer records shutter speeds longer than 1/2 second correctly, and the interface is now far less intuitive. You’ve crippled a very capable app. Why? Update in response to developer: when I attempt to measure 1 second, it gives a nonsense value, usually in the range of 1/400th to 1/600th second. That’s what I mean when I say it no longer works for 1 second exposures.
Developer responds to say they don’t understand my problem, very dismissive.Show lesstrospero

As I said: You can still zoom in or out of the signal and adjust the sliders manually, if for some reason the automatic detection for the 1sec speed does not work. If you still have problems, please reach out via email so we can find a solution.Ruined it
Why did you change how this works??! It no longer records shutter speeds longer than 1/2 second, and the interface is now far less intuitive. You’ve crippled a very capable app. Why?

You can still zoom the signal and adjust it manually, if you are not satisfied with the automatic detection. The automatic detection is optimized for use with the PhotoPlug. I just added a new feature, I did not remove any functionality of the old version.Disappointed in 2.0 update
I feel like the automatic signal analysis and peak detection makes this version less than reliable than the old version. It is always dicey using an LED light source since LED light output is not constant, but I did find one that I was able to use until this update. Also, the zooming of the waveform is extremely inconsistent and I find myself fighting the app to get it to zoom in and out. Overall the old version worked better for me.Show lessinsignia100

I'm sorry, but if you use a flickering LED light source then this is not a problem of the App. A proper light source will result in perfect peak detection and no need to manually zoom into the signal. I tested multiple LED lights without any issue. If you need help please reach out via email and we'll find a solution.Ruined it

The App still records full 3 seconds, just like before - there is no limit to 1/2sec. You can still zoom the signal and adjust it manually, if you like. I don't know what your problem is.It does work
Bought a photo plug years back and I could never get the clean on and off signal as shown in their company video. The signal captured was full of noise. Until I realized that most of the iphone lighting adapters are for headphones . Until I got a "trrs (tip, ring, ring, sleeve) to lighting" adapter for microphone. Most are "trs" and will not work properly when connected to an iphone, Also ensure it's Apple MFI certified. Now it's working without issue.Show lessrmdc
It stopped the guessing
I refurbished a 1965 Nikon F recently and needed to test the shutter before wasting any film. With the photo plug and my iPhone X (yeah, it’s a couple upgrades shy of new) I have some very accurate numbers to work with. I can now make adjustments inside the camera, and re test it, or just use the compensation calculations. The Photo plug and app are a no brainer for any film enthusiast that is questioning their old cameras exposures.Show lessMrWizard on NSN
Doesnt work
Got this to use with a 2018 ipad and got the photoplug as well. The audio only method works fine, but the software doesnt recognize the photoplug. Old software, i suspect the developer has lost interest.smithsfan123
Still works on iPhone XS iOS 15.5
Tried it out again June 2022 using a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter on the photo plug and it seems to work ok. Not quite so convenient as you need to support the sensor at the end of a floppy cable.SaylingLow
Better with leaf shutters than focal plain shutters
Quite useful, but all the extraneous noise from a focal plain shutter makes it difficult to identify the peaks for setting the measuring points [even using the light sensor which plugs into a jack—which does not exist on newer iPhones]. Also better at testing slower speeds. The absence of competing apps perhaps indicates the difficulties of creating a really simple and accurate shutter speed tester.Show lessAnalogMan99
Works fine!!
If you know anything about cameras this is simple and easy to use. A shame to trash a perfectly good piece of software because you’re clueless. The description makes it clear that it only works to 30th without sensor and instructions are built in.rsb36459
