Keep up the great work!!! ### 5/5 — A very good find *2024-08-10, version 0.52* In 2019 I had the opportunity to test the Panasonic S line cameras and I had the S1R for a week. While using it I came across the 65:24 ratio embedded in the camera’s ratio options. As soon as I took the first couple of photos I was hooked; I knew that the angle of view is a part of me. Because it is a big piece of equipment I ruled it out and I discovered the Xpan/TX1. They are quite expensive so I remained at the cropping method of getting the panoramic images. Recently a friend of mine rekindled the passion and he sent me a clip of Chris Brockhurst talking about how to obtain digital Xpan like images. In his video he mentioned this app and I installed and unlocked it immed 😁. I used to use the NomoCam app which has the Xpan simulation and I can say “not anymore “. This will be my go to app henceforth. Nevertheless, I would like to make the following suggestions: - I would like to be able to save the various processing “recipes”. This comes in handy when the scene is changed; - I would like to be able to change the ISO. I have always loved ISO 800 no matter the light and there is no logical explanation for it 😁 Thank you for the app and I would appreciate if you would consider my wishes; as long as they can be implemented. Cheers, John ### 5/5 — Perfect for xpan fans *2024-06-16* I sadly don’t have the money to get the actual camera but this has been a fantastic alternative :-) ### 5/5 — At last! *2024-05-31, version 0.50* Waited a long time for a developer to produce a decent XPan emulator. There are others, but this one has the best features. Well worth the £4.99 payment to have access to full resolution, auto-cropping and a host of other benefits. ### 5/5 — Movie style shots *2024-03-28, version 0.44* Love this app! I’ve been shooting a lot on this over the last few days and loving it. The interface is clean and very well designed with the use of mono typeface. Simple but powerful controls to get the exact mood in your photos. Two feature requests 1. If I could export in 16:9 instead of square but keeping the photo at 65:24 2. Ability to shoot videos (big one)! ### 5/5 — 简洁、美观、好用的宽幅相机APP *2024-03-02* 如果能辅助hasselblad Xpan的拍摄会更好！ ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2023-07-18, version 1.0* A fun and simple way to compose your images in one of the most beautiful aspect ratios on iPhone. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hijacks iPhone *2025-10-10* I had to uninstall because it was impossible to close out of it. What a UX calamity. Shouldn’t have to power off iPhone to leave an application. Potentially cool app but fails the most basic usability hurdle. **Developer response:** Hello! The app runs in landscape, so you need to swipe from the bottom in landscape (the phone’s long edge) to leave the app, like in any other landscape app. Don’t hesitate to reach out to contact@heliographe.net for any other issues. Cheers! ### 1/5 — Homage without function is just theater *2025-09-16* The app presents itself as a tribute to the iconic XPan — a noble intention, until you realize that it lacks the single most basic digital feature: a horizon level. Not a subtle oversight, but a conceptual failure. Yes, the original XPan didn’t have one either. That’s because it shot film and required skill. This app pretends to honor that, but offers neither precision nor control, only a theatrical interface and a static grid. What could have been a serious digital homage is just a design cosplay — more invested in looking minimal than in offering minimum necessary function. If this app had existed in the era of the original XPan, it would have been laughed off the darkroom table. Aesthetic isn’t the enemy of utility — but here, it replaces it entirely. Even the official site listed in the App Store (heliographe.net) returns a 404 error. No support, no documentation, no updates — just dead links and dead features. This app feels like an abandoned design student project — not a working tool for 2025. **Developer response:** We thank you for your well written review! Definitely check out our latest mark II update as it brings a horizon level, customizable grid, and tons more features making it truly the best panoramic camera app ever made. We couldn’t have done it without your lovely feedback! :) ### 5/5 — Excellent pano app *2026-01-30* I have loved using this great app even on my old iPhone SE (original SE). It’s wonderful that this developer appreciates the organic rendering of the older sensors and continues to support old phones like the SE.My only complaint is that the old phones lack good image stabilization on the sensor and it’s very easy to get camera shake in this camera app when tapping the shutter button. Adjusting the exposure compensation is a little touchy with such a small square on a small screen but it works. The developer was also very responsive when I had a few follow-up questions after purchasing. Great service and a great app! And now even better with his new version 2.05. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2025-10-15, version 2.0.3* A brilliant App well thought out I really like it keep up the great work ### 5/5 — Spectacular new update *2025-09-15, version 2.0* Love it so much now it’s even better !!! ### 5/5 — Best XPAN app with bayer raw support *2025-05-25* Only one thing missing now is ProRAW support in addition to Bayer raw format. Adding that feature will make this an S tier ### 5/5 — Beautiful processing and grain, makes me want to use my phone camera *2025-05-14* I'm not a phone camera person anymore because I have a good small camera on me most of the time anyway - so I think of the phone camera as a communication tool more than an art tool. This app is a direct counter to the way most phone cameras and apps process images - there's no smudgy denoising and soulless HDR here. Excellent grain patterns and processing options, in an aspect ratio that I'm finding more compelling and interesting every time I try it. ### 5/5 — Best aspect ratio! *2025-04-14* This is a great app! No longer am I trying to crop correctly or opening multiple apps to edit. ### 5/5 — Would Give it 6 Stars if I could. *2025-04-11* Don’t bother with any of the other offerings in the App Store. I’ve tried them all and 65x24 is THE best of the lot. I love its output and simplicity to use, and now with the added formats, it’s perfect. It’s really my favorite photo/camera app thus far. ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2025-03-29, version 0.70* Simple idea, beautifully implemented. Love it! ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very Nice *2025-01-30, version 0.61* Super minimalistic and inspire creativity! Great job! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-01-06* Make the same video app. I'll buy it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
