Best camera in your pocket
I have had many cameras in all formats and fell in love with black and white photography. It can be a steep learning curve. This photo app lets you go through the process step by step and allows you to see the results on screen. You can make beautiful photos with a camera that you always have with you. It’s in your pocket.

Très interessant mais...
Il semble que le stabilisateur d'image ne soit pas géré et mes photos sont souvent floues, ce qui n'est pas le cas avec l'application native sur l'iphone.
Great B&W Camera. Probably needs an update?
Lots of controls here to dial in exactly what you need. My only complaint and maybe why I don’t use it that often is that it feels like it could use an update. When trying to swipe up out of the app, it never really works perfectly. It’ll take me a few times to hop to another app.
Awesome app, quick feedback
This is an incredible idea for an app and could actually make me leave the film camera at home some days, or even indefinitely when traveling. Will be testing it out this week.
Some immediate feedback:
I would love to be able to choose the “focal length” for each shot. I only have 3 options now, ultra-wide - normal - tele. I’d love to pick like 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, etc.
Second, the app crashes when I’m also saving raw files, and I click the camera roll in the top while the photos are still processing and loading.
Will update the review as I shoot with it all this week on vacation! Looking forward to it.

Terrible
I was very disappointed with the purchase. No portrait mode, no film grain, terrible user interface. This is probably the worst camera app I have ever used.
Response from developer
Well, I’m sorry that happened. Did you read the description before buying ? It details all the features. Feel free to request a refund I suppose.
No Zoom - Limits Usefulness
While this app offers a decent experience, the absence of pinch-to-zoom for focal distance adjustment is a significant drawback. Instead, it operates with three fixed focal lengths, which feels restrictive compared to the standard zoom lens functionality we’re accustomed to. I understand the developer’s intent, but this design choice severely impacts the app’s usability and enjoyment. For this reason, I cannot recommend this app.

Best App Ever for B/W Photography
Camera1 is the best app ever for capturing stunning black and white images in-camera! The color correction/contrast filters make the images “pop.” No other black and white app, and no Color to B/W conversion method works as well as Camera1. Try the Red filter on a blue sky with puffy white clouds and you’ll capture a dramatic sky and cloud image… superb, impactful and unbeatable! The “pinch to change” lenses function is nowhere to be found on the user interface… you just have to know it’s the way to change focal lengths (assuming your device has multiple lenses).

I just really like this app…
I realise that you can take black and white photos with the Apple and other cameras. But Camera1 just makes it so much easier - just select the app rather than fiddling with settings in another app.
Camera1 also has a great selection of preset photo sizes. I find it odd that other camera apps have not copied this UI, it’s a real time saver and photo enhancer.
I very much recommend this app!

Peter

Simple et efficace !
Vous photographiez en noir et blancs avec une interface simple et un excellent rendu, sans avoir des milliers de réglages et de menu qui vous transforment en ingénieurs plutôt qu’en photographes. Libérez votre esprit et faites des photos et justement c’est tout à fait le but de cette application.
Response from developer
Merci, c’était bien mon idée en faisant cette appli!
Camera 1, Exactly what I was looking for!
Camera 1 is an app for both very experienced photographers as well as beginners. It’s many features and capabilities more than meet the expectations of advanced photographers, as well as being an app beginners can grow into as they expand their capabilities. Camera 1 takes me back to the good old days of Tri X 35mm photography. I love BW photography and Camera 1 more than meets my expectations!

No Support for Camera1
Camera1 might be a good app if it provided any guidance at all about how to use it. Maybe Its my bad, but I can’t discern just how Camera1 functions even basically to take pictures. I tried to contact Camera1 through what appeared to be a “connect” function within the app, but have never gotten a reply, or an acknowledgement of my message; should I assumed my message was either not received; or even ignored; who knows. In either case. It still look s like a cool app, something I would like to try out. But alas , I guess I’ll never know, and my $5.99 for the app will never be refunded. Too bad.

Hello, I am sorry you had a negative experience. In the app, there is a technical support email link which sends me an email. I reply to every support email I receive, and don’t seem to have received yours. Would you mind trying again, or email me directly at support@camera1.app. Thank you
Only landscape
Only landscape mode available, it’s absurd

Response from developer
Sorry you were disappointed. The camera user interface is in landscape - as most hardware cameras, your eyes, and as written in the description. This doesn’t affect photos in portrait mode (vertical), which have the correct orientation.
New app
Easy to navigate and well planned!
almost there
its intuitive and very fast compared to other apps of its kind. but! on my iphone xs the live filters dont do nothing and the preview tonality is not always the same as the result. try to
improve. merci
improve. merci
Serenity
Like with films, I prefer to chose before rather than in post. So enjoying the serenity that comes with the app.
Would love to have an option for anamorphic lens, so I don’t need to change app if shooting with one.

Hidden gem
Camera 1 is one of my favorite choices for shooting in black and white. It's simple and intuitive, and its images are crisp and stark. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.
Love this app!
Was looking for a Black and White camera app so I could preview the results before taking the image. This isn’t the highest rated app but took the risk as it’s a one off payment with no in app purchase malarkey. Once installed WOW!!! Adore the interface really great to use and especially love the the photo gallery- awesome design!!! One issue I have however is that although I have ApplePro RAW switched on, it only seems to save jpgs which is a little frustrating as it would be good to play with the results in Lightroom (the only reason this isn’t 5 stars). Otherwise, great app! - phone used iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Hi, thank you for your review. To shoot in ProRAW make sure “Raw+HEIC” is selected in Camera1 settings, under “File format”, *and* “use ProRAW if available” is also selected. You should then have 2 files in your camera roll: one raw, one heic. Note that not all lenses support raw capture. If this doesn’t work, feel free to send an email using the “technical support” link in the settings. Happy new year!
Excellent App
This is my favorite camera app. Absolutely fantastic.
