Great B&W camera app

I wrote my first review for this in 2019 and have been happily using this app since from an iPhone 8, to 11 Pro, and now 15 Pro. Perfect like camera app. My only ask… possible to custom set or clear the default ‘comment’ that is set on every photo? The statement “Processed by Blackie” in the metadata for every photo isn’t great. Pretty awkward.

Thanks for review. There is option for turn off all metadata in Settings.

完全用不了

闪退严重,拍照无法储存,编辑后也无法储存,根本找不到储存的按钮,这玩意废了,一星都嫌多

Not usable on iPhone 17 Pro (and maybe 17 ProMax as well?)

The upper side of each picture is getting cutted of because the UI doesn‘t resemble the screen of the new iPhone 17 Pro (and maybe 17 Pro as well?)

Response from developer

Added support for iPhone 17 and iPhone Air

Seit den letzten Update nicht mehr nutzbar

Habe gebe mit der App gearbeitet, aber seit dem letzten Update gibt es Doppelbelegungen (das neue Histogramm zum Beispiel) so dass die Filter nicht mehr genutzt werden können. Somit nutzlos. Schade.

Basically what positive reviews say

Like most apps, you have to experiment to see the possibility. Assumes you are wanting BW photography and the more you use it the vision of your minds eye begins to open up.

Undervalued

To be sure I don’t use it enough. If you’re trying to get a punchy black and white image. This is the tool you need.

Definitively the best

I’ve spent the better part of 3 days and lots of money evaluating every monochrome camera app on the App Store. Blackie is easily the best.

I just wish there was a home screen shortcut icon, so I could replace my default camera app with Blackie. The default app icon with the “open app” shortcut looks horrible.

我欠你一個好評

記不得多少年前了,當年還用著4s吧,之後每次換手機都不會忘記把你安裝好,在我心裡你一直是最好用的黑白攝影APP,感謝你這麼多年的陪伴,謝謝!

Only B&W camera I use

Preis-/Leistung ist unschlagbar

Als BnW-Liebhaber ist die App einfach fantastisch, weil sie voller liebevoller Details steckt.
Z.B.:
- Vignette: hoch individualisierbar. Das habe ich so bei noch keiner anderen App gesehen. Auch nicht bei Lightroom und Luminar…
- Speicherung im
tiff-Format
- Farbfilter
- Rahmenfunktion, die NICHT das Bild beschneidet. Top!
- 8 speicherbare Presets
- Focus peaking
- durchdachte Bedienfläche
- und noch viel mehr…

Wenn es jetzt noch eine Masken-Funktion geben würde, bräuchte ich Lightroom für 90% meiner Fotos nicht mehr. 😉
Einen Wunsch hätte ich: eine Retusche-/Korrektur-Funktion.

Fazit: Grandiose App, die ein Vielfaches dessen wert ist, was sie kostet.

Bitte weiter entwickeln!

흑백사진앱 중 최고

이것보다 더 좋고 효율적이고 흑백사진을 위한 앱은 없다. 수 많은 흑백사진앱이 존재하지만 하나같이 흑백사진 자체가 지니는 매력을 뒤로하고 쓸데없는
기능들이 많은데,
이 앱은 흑백사진이 주는 매력을 가장 질 파악하고 그걸 앱으로 가장 잘 재현시켰다. 흑백사진은 이 앱 하나면 된다.

frame

setting a frame to black does not persist when the application is closed and reopened.
it automatically reverts to white.
it would be great if this could be fixed.

Not usable on iPad pro 2024

Good App on iPhone, GUI not usable on actual iPad Pro

Response from developer

Will be fixed in new version

Thanks for the quick fix!

There was a nasty bug that caused crashes, now fixed. Once again Blackie is my favorite B&W camera app.

Response from developer

Sorry it was a bug on our side. New release will fix this issue is live right now.

Please ! One more thing! ! I would like you to fix the error! !

Thank you for your prompt response to the error! However, there is one more error...I would like to see an improvement to the error where the camera shuts down when using manual focus when shooting with a 0.5 size wide angle! I am using iphone13mini. I use this app every day, so I appreciate your support!

I can not reproduce the issue tested on iPhone 13 Pro max. Can you send me details on brutalityarts@gmail.com it will be helpful, thanks

Bug fixed in v4.1

Problem was quickly solved within a few days. The app did not save any images.

Response from developer

Sorry for this one, fix is on review by apple right now.

Latest update crashes

I love the app, but the latest update crashes consistently for me. I am on an iPhone 13. Is that no longer supported?

Response from developer

Sorry it was a bug on our side. New release will fix this issue is live right now.

What Happened to the App?!

Been using this for years, but now every time I open it, click the shutter, it just crashes. And the photo does not get recorded in the Photos app. I deleted and reinstalled. Still the same. Help?!

Response from developer

Yes, sorry for that, something broke during the code update. I will fix it ASAP.

Trouble taking pictures

I just got the app on the App Store. When going thru the pages in the set up I accidentally clicked on don’t share my photos hence I can’t take pictures. Is there a way to fix this? I’m rating the app 2 stars only because I can’t use it until I fix my screwup.

Response from developer

Hello yes you can, Go to iPhone->Setting, Search Blackie then , Allow Blackie to access Photos -> All Photos.
