Not worry $9.99
Played around with it for about 10 mins. Interface is cluttered. It’s hard to shift to different adjustments, especially if you have somewhat fat fingers like me. I can press to select an adjustment 10 times before it finally moves to it. In-app editing features are suboptimal. It seem to have no simple manual control of aperture, shutter speed and ISO like what I had hoped. I took 2 selfies, one in this and one in the apple app, edited them in each app and the Apple photo was all around significantly better, other than you can adjust zoom in this app to get a less lens distorted selfie. You get some useless extra grids to overlay beyond the standard and some long exposure features. The long exposure features are about the only interesting thing and I don’t shoot those enough to make it worth $9.99. I’d skip it though at least it is not a subscription like my previous camera app went to.Show lessAJT36
48mp ProRAW is awesome! 3x, not so much
The new update for this app is really good in terms of image quality and detail seen on the 48mp images from my 14 pro max. I have had this app for a long time, but didn’t use it much do to semi-average image quality. Now the details I see from the 48mp is insane. I have been using NOMO RAW2 which has the best image quality by far… however this app looks very similar. The 3x camera quality needs a lot of work. ProRAW ISO 640 and above indoors is terrible!! The iPhone default camera at 1600 ProRAW is so much cleaner. Lots of blotchy textures and noise seen on the 3x camera indoors with medium ISO ranges when using this app. So, 48mp is great (1x camera), but please fix the 3x camera quality, it’s bad. I’m not a huge fan of the 3x camera, Apple really needs to use a much larger sensor for the 3x.Show lessTHPHY
A Must Have For All Your Photo/Video Needs
While the pre-installed Camera app for the iPhone is alright, the features on it are quite limited for my needs. With the ProCam 8 app, however, it’s capable of doing so much more that not only have I pretty much left left the Camera app behind, I have significantly reduced the use of my DLSR camera altogether.
Taking nighttime photos is just amazing, and as for videos, recording it in 4K HDR at 24fps make my concert videos look like it was professionally shot. If there are any critiques to be made, it would be 1) the app is pretty slow at taking photos and saving them, and 2) there should be built-in assistance that would make it easier for users to navigate and change settings.
Download the app, and I highly recommend spending the extra money for the in-app purchases, especially if you want professional quality photo and video taking capabilities.Show lessMrGrimmace

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate it as it helps us improve our product :)Pop Ups Stop Video Recording
I love this app. Especially the fact that I can run video with the focus locked, but the aperture on auto. I couldn’t find this combination anywhere else. My only criticism is that anytime my iPhone has a pop up, such as “low battery,” it pauses the recording of the video. Is there a fix? Also, I shoot long form videos, and after about two hours of constant shooting, the app seems to shut off the recording. Is there a way to prevent the auto shut off?Show lessFred Herrman
I like it a lot.
I have only used it a couple hours when I was prompted to write a review. So far, things have been very good. I would like to see a couple of tweaks. When you are looking at the photos you’ve taken, apparently one can’t just single tap on the camera icon to go back to taking photos. This is in place elsewhere as a safety feature which I love, but it is not necessary here. Also if you are viewing a photo and go outside of the app and delete that photo, the app will crash. No big deal, but it would be nice if the app handled that more elegantly. Above all though, I’d love to have the option of making the grid lines black. I take most of my photos with a white background and the white grid lines are almost useless under such circumstances. All in all, I am very happy, well worth the price. If I could just turn the grid lines black or at least a dark color….Show lessThe Last Ace
Long term value + saves bucket list photo.
I bought this app years ago and unlike so many other apps, it is still being updated and add immense improvements to the newest iPhone. All without having to pay for an upgrade in over 4 years of use and iPhone hardware upgrades.
That said, I almost wish I could pay for it again. What drove me to write this review was that the built in iOS camera app WOULD NOT focus as my plane was flying near Mt. Everest en route to Kathmandu. Can you imagine the frustration of the camera thinking I wanted to take photos of the scratches on the airplane window and not the worlds highest peak?!
Procam to the rescue! I opened it up and switched to manual focus. The magnified center with peak detection allowed me to precisely, carefully, and quickly focus directly on the Himalayan peaks resulting in me not missing one of the most memorable “out the window” shots of my lifetime.
There are many other examples where having full control has saved the shot, but this one by itself was worth the purchase.
Thank you developers of Procam for saving my “bucket list” shot!Show lessKingjamez80

We're thrilled to hear that ProCam saved your shot! Makes all the hard work worthwhile! :)Only great when it actually works
I’m beside myself. I practice amateur astronomy and smartphone astrophotography. And twice now, using two different iPhones (XR and now 13 Pro Max), your app has failed me. I like to shoot the International Space Station through my telescope. This requires lots of careful planning and time-consuming setup. And it’s all for nothing because your app is unreliable. I am so disappointed. Specifically, I use video mode with manual controls. I hit record, and I know it’s recording because I can see the time counter ticking away, and once the space station passes over, I hit the stop button. And then the video is just nowhere. It doesn’t save to the app or to my phone’s camera roll. I even did a test video of 1.5 minutes tonight, before the big show was about to start. That video saved flawlessly. But the 1-min video that actually captured the station (because I saw it in the live view) didn’t save at all. I am so done with this. This moment was going to be my saving grace after a long crappy day. Instead, my day was only made worse. If it only happened once, I could write it off as a fluke. But now I’ve been screwed twice. This is incredibly upsetting and there’s just no reason for itShow lessastronoman

Edit
I’ve been using this app for over a year now, originally it started to not take photos when trying to take one, which was a quick fix of just trying to take a few more and hope it actually takes one. It’s been doing the same with video also, but what used to be easy to notice that the screen would go dark when trying to record video, now it does not change at all and has the appearance that it is actively recording, it counts the time and has red text. When you finish your video and check for it, it’s not there. This issue didn’t happen for about 6+ months, it was great that the developers seemed to have fixed it, but it just did it to me again on an extremely important drawing tutorial video I was recording for my business. I recorded a 2.5 hour segment of drawing footage that is now lost and I literally have to do my whole drawing again! The tutorial has to be a complete tutorial so it doesn’t matter that I had 1 hour of early footage, 2.5 hours is gone! This is the last straw for me, I am never going to use this app again. What a waste of money, spend your money on an app that actually works and doesn’t cost you 3+ hours of hard work you can’t get back!Show lessJess4614

Native camera app is almost fully automatic. It is great in most scenarios. But it has restrains under certain situation like low ambient light. That’s where this app shines. I just came back from a vacation in Greece. I took many photos during dinner, where I wanted to avoid using flash for the sake of image quality and other guests. This app gave me complete control over shutter speed, ISO and depth to make it possible. I hand-held my iPhone, so shutter speed had to be faster than 1/8 at least. It would be impossible to control this with native app I think.
Another great example is controlling depth. I take photos of small insects and plants. Native camera app would always mess up the depth with auto focusing. (I don’t blame it btw. It’s called auto focusing after all.😅) While this app has like laser coloring to mark out the objects in focus. It is precise enough for my use. I found it actually more convenient than using my DSRL for such close-up shots.
All in all, a very nice free app gives me DSLR camera experience!Show lessWhich nickname is not taken???!!! Please~
Loss of functionality
I have been using this app for over a year to edit photos for my reselling business. It’s been great until I recently updated it. Now I am no longer able to edit photos using ProCam from within the built-in Photos app on my iPhone. Now I have to use the ProCam app which is slower to use (and doesn’t see all my albums) and it creates another copy of the photo (doesn’t edit the original). This only eats up storage and makes more work keeping things organized. After contacting them they stated they removed the extension due to lack of use. I find that hard to believe. Now I am having to look at buying another photo app. Disappointed…Show lessMelissimo
