### 5/5 — I love this app

*2025-10-12*

I love black-and-white photography. And this app does one of the best jobs in creating black-and-white images of different shades. And it’s very easy.

### 1/5 — Outdated and Unsupported - Avoid

*2025-03-15*

This app appears to be abandoned by its developers. It lacks support for recent iPhone models and their multiple lens capabilities (ultrawide, telephoto). Unless you're content with solely using the standard lens, this app is effectively useless on newer devices. It should be removed from the app store due to its lack of maintenance.

### 5/5 — Yes

*2024-10-23*

Je redécouvre cette application tous ces n&b 
sont une bonne base de travail 👍

### 5/5 — BlackCam

*2023-10-08*

Ich finde diese App einfach spitze mit diesen vielen Voreinstellungen. Speziell das Infrarot-Preset ist einmalig. Wo kann ich eigentlich meine EXIF-Daten eintragen? Det

### 5/5 — Best black and white editor - used for 5 yrs!

*2023-08-03*

I have many photo apps including many paid. I love this one and it gives cool black and white looks i cant otherwise reproduce on other photo editing apps. This one is perfect and i hope it stays around long time. Ive used this one I believe for almost 5 years! Hard to believe but it’s the one i look for for special photos i want to enhance different types of personalities or overall vibes. My favorite is one i took of my daughter when she was about 6 in a candid photo when we lost a loved one, where the black and white enhances her tough and resilient side. Not the same at all in normal black and white or color photo editors, and i don't know how this one does it. But i love it!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2022-03-22*

I have bought the app and it does everything I need and more for amazing black and white photography.

### 1/5 — Very disappointing

*2022-03-04*

Was looking for a good to decent B&W camera app for my 12 Pro Max.  Initial filters look really good... until you take a shot and the app locks up.  Every. Time.  Restart? No difference.  I want my $2 back.

### 5/5 — Best black & white photos

*2021-10-01, version 1.43*

Really highlights the strengths in black and white imagry in photos! No other imagE editor ive found that converts my regular photos into classically gorgeous black and white like this one. I love how the different black amd whites can show different characteristics and personalities in photos, which ive not seen captured in other editors. This app WRiter has to be Both a very gifted coder and even more so a gifted artist! I love it. Thank you. Ps ive heard it also takes photos from the app but ive not tried this feature yet....i just edit my regular role as it is, and it already stands out amongst the other editors! Helps me appreciate the black and white photo art - now that i see what it can really do w images.🖤🤍🖤🤍

### 4/5 — Good but frustrating

*2021-05-13*

For some reason you can’t select between the three lenses on the iPhone. Only the standard lens is allowed. This is very frustrating. The filters are wonderful and I really like this app overall.

### 5/5 — Really good B&W photo app

*2021-02-08*

I’ve had this for quite some time and really like the choices I have in taking a pic and or editing it. If you really like B&W photography, this app is for you. I highly recommend this app.
