  • Awesome teacher

    I got my camera about a week ago and haven't taken any classes prior and I feel like I have a pretty decent understanding of photography from this app alone. Only gave it a 4 star because it has some empty slides every once in awhile
  • Amateur

    Makes anyone take great photos.
    Photography course on your phone..
  • A must for first time users!

    This app places technical jargon in easy to comprehend advice. The interactive shots really allow for people to understand how the different controls affect their photos while keeping the language short yet effective.
  • Useful

    This app helps clarify the basics of getting nice photos. Very happy to have it at my fingertips when using a camera.
  • Outstanding App!!!

    This app is truly great. Informative and entertaining!!!!
  • Great app

    Easy to use & teaches you entry level photography tricks .
  • Worth three bucks

    A pocket full of information as a quick reference is always a good thing. If you need to learn the most basic stuff the free version is all you'll need, but paying for the full unlock is really worth the quiz refreshers and the DoF/EV guides.

    Four stars, this app is incredibly smart and shiny until you pay for the unlock, then what you will get feels unrefined and incomplete. There are whole slides that are blank, and poor English that needs editing.

    As for the content, the most confusing parts of photography are explained and your understanding of them is tested with a simple "you got is right, or not" check system, and a help button to point you to the correct part of the guide. This makes it easy to see where your weaknesses are and what you'll need to go over before that next shoot.

    I'd hope for updates that fix the small issues and add more content like the use of polarizing filters, intentional lens flares or when to use a hood, ND for waterfall shots, etc. for more of the creative processes that people might expect in a hide like this.

    Overall this is a good addition to your arsenal, and I'd recommend this app to everyone, beginner to professional.

  • Nice first step

    Must say that I have found everything I need as first step into world of photography
  • Excellent depth for the hungry novice.

    This goes beyond the typical beginner lessons elsewhere. Instead of the same old "don't shoot in auto" this interactive app teaches the fundamentals of exposure, light, lenses, when to do this or that, how to understand histograms, bracketing, and depth of field in one of the easiest explanations I've seen yet. It even has an introduction to flash photography and how it works.

    Couple charts for EV table, DOF calculator, and quizzes on the information learned.

    Well worth buying if you're serious and tired of hunting across the web just to find articles that teach in a million different ways what a million different people think is the correct way.

  • Great Visual Photography Tutorial

    This app is great for explaining and re-explaining everything you need to understand to get started (or brush up on, or expand) in photography. As you manipulate on-screen simulated camera controls, the background picture changes to show the resulting effect on the resulting photo. Great job!
