Die Einstellungen sind wenig intuitiv und das Potential vom iPhone für einfachere Aufnahmen wird nicht ausgenutzt. Es mag an mir liegen, deshalb noch 4 Sterne aber ich bin von der App enttäuscht. Schade um das Geld. ### 2/5 — Widget not working *2025-06-13, version 2025.2.0* 2 major issues. I want to give this app a better rating but the fact the widget won’t show up in the list is a huge deal breaker. Using an iPhone 16 Pro Max on the newest iOS. If they fix it I will update my review because this seems like a great camera app. Just got it today so have plenty to explore. Issue 2 - Found another issue, when exposure bracketing I can choose the resolution and pick 48mp on JPEG, HEIC and DNG+, but regular DNG doesn’t have the resolution option so I am stuck at 12mp??? ### 4/5 — Sieht ganz gut aus *2025-02-23* Sieht soweit sehr gut aus, mir ist der Zeitabstand von einer Sekunde für Serienbilder aber deutlich zu kurz, ich hatte Zeiträume von bis zu zehn, 15 Sekunden erwartet - so ist der Hauptzweck der App für mich nicht erfüllt, schade, ich hatte keine Testmöglichkeit gesegen.... ### 3/5 — ISO Auto Ranges Setting *2025-02-07* ISO 自動設定の時、数値を最低〜最高 (下限〜上限) の範囲で設定したい。 iOSデフォルトの カメラ Appと比べると、明るい場所で撮影すると、写真が過剰に「白飛び」する。 App内の日本語について、「肖像画」は「ポートレート」と翻訳したほうが正確です。 iPhone 15 Pro / iOS 17.6.1 ### 4/5 — Super mais rendre compatible le bouton action sur iPhone 16 *2025-01-09* Super application, très complète pour un usage professionnel et intuitive, ça serait juste génial si vous pouviez la rendre compatible avec le bouton action disponible à partir des iPhones 16 on gagnerait en rapidité pour exécuter l’application et prendre des photos ### 4/5 — Make me a lock screen widget! *2024-10-01, version 2024.1.0* please! ### 2/5 — It’s been 9 months: how about an update! *2024-08-10, version 2023.1.0* Please update. The 5x camera in ProRAW looks terrible in low medium light. Of course I have better apps that I use for pro work, but having some variety helps. So…. Update. ### 4/5 — Good app but *2024-06-07, version 2023.1.0* This camera app is great but sometimes when I am recording a Timelapse it will stop recording and no video is found ### 3/5 — Brilliant ! With slight annoyances. MAJOR ISSUE *2024-02-28, version 2023.1.0* UPDATE 28/2/24: Well I’ve just found out that the saved presets don’t stay in the order I’ve put them in. This is REALLY ANNOYING and I’ve dropped this app one star. I make my preference and then save it and then I slide it into the position I wanted to be, but when I come back to the app it’s moved right to the bottom again. This app is so good I’ve replaced the iOS camera app for this one. The only thing I will say is where is the 2x telephoto lens ? My camera has 0.5x 1x 2x and 3x, but your app only shows the 0.5x 1x and 3x. No 2x. Such a shame. Worth 5 stars once I can find the 2x telephoto camera in the app. Also, the user defined presets should be separated into what mode you’re in and not all clumped together. For example, when I’m in video mode I can still see the presets I made for still photo mode and vice versa. Not a big problem, but it would be nice to have them separated. ### 5/5 — positiv überrascht *2023-12-01* Ich habe bisher die Camera 2 plus App benutzt und musste umsteigen, nachdem dort das Finanzierungsmodell nachträglich geändert wurde. Diese App hat mich nun positiv überrascht und beherrscht alles wasch benötige. Für die Fotobearbeitung reichen mir die Funktionen der iOS Fotogalerie. ### 4/5 — Photo folders. *2023-07-06, version 2022.1.3* Where can I find the option to store new photos in a selected directory? Could you add the option to store bursts or exposure brackets in separate timestamped folders, one per shoot? It would be great if groups of brackets could be split out automatically. If not, could you add the option to add a black image before each group of brackets? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — user interface needs a major overhaul *2026-05-01* Each time u take a portrait mode show u are asked to apply blur each time to photo after taking portrait mode photo which is always difficult , so portrait mode option should be made default ### 1/5 — only focus bracket shoots 5 pics *2025-11-08, version 2025.2.2* Focus bracket shooting is basic at best. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne plus. Ecran noir. *2025-08-09* Depuis la dernière mise à jour de iOS sur iPhone 12 Pro ### 1/5 — Misleading garbage *2025-07-13, version 2025.2.0* AFTER you purchase this it reveals you CANNOT IMPORT brackets shots to merge!!! ### 1/5 — No updates in years *2025-01-19, version 2025.1.1* Not a go to app ### 1/5 — Bug after the update *2025-01-08, version 2025.1.0* Manual focus setting can not be saved in presets after the last update. No matter what distance you save, it always starts with mf distance 100 when you open a preset. Please fix this bug. ### 1/5 — Für mich nicht nutzbar *2024-10-06* Leider ist das UI für mich nicht nutzbar, Schrift ist zu klein, die Regler zu dicht bei einander , komme ich nicht klar mit. Leider gibt es keinen kostenlosen Testzeitraum>5.99€ versenkt 😕 ### 1/5 — Bug Error 15 Pro max *2023-12-15* The app has an error where when shooting with the telephoto camera a shadowy black bar appears along the long side of images. This artifact is not present when using other manual camera apps so I know it is a bug with just this app. I bought this thinking I could do manual exposure and take 48 megapixel photos with my iPhone 15 pro max but nope... when I select 48mp it locks out manual controls, only allows automatic. This is disappointing and I don't understand. ### 1/5 — Video fuori sincronismo *2023-12-01, version 2023.1.0* Funzionava perfettamente fino all’ultimo aggiornamento 2023 adesso è inutilizzabile poiché i video sono fuori sincronismo audio/video… peccato era una buona app così sono soldi buttati. ### 1/5 — Not for the iPhone 14 Pro Max *2022-09-17, version 2021.5.4* When selecting the main camera the app takes 12mp size (pixels) thus not taking advantage of the 48mp camera! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — One of the best “pro” camera apps available *2026-03-08, version 2025.2.2* I must have tried just about every “pro” camera app out there but I keep coming back to CameraPixels. A user friendly interface, the ability to save user presets and a full set of well implemented pro features makes this my go to camera app. No subscriptions, no in app purchases and a developer who is incredibly responsive to feedback. You can also try out the Lite version before committing without having to worry about a subscription kicking in, unlike some other camera apps. ### 5/5 — Best Camera App! *2025-11-01* Great app if you want to take proper photographs and not just mess around. The histogram, overexposure and underexposure warnings, and spirit level are better than in other apps I've tried, if such features are even available at all. The focus point display is very useful, especially with a telephoto lens: if the value is 0, you are too close to the object and it will not be 100% in focus. I also really like the fact that the app does not collect any user data. The only thing I would still like to see is access via the camera button and a warning that when taking photos with 48 MPx, the manual settings other than exposure compensation do not work because they are blocked by iOS. ### 5/5 — iOS 26 update? 🥹🙏 *2025-09-21, version 2025.2.0* Fix the widget in iOS 25 plz ### 5/5 — Consigliata!! *2025-08-17, version 2025.2.0* App completa per chi ama la fotografia di tutti i generi, macro compresi. Fa molto bene tutto ciò che promette e l’utilizzo è sufficientemente intuitivo. In ogni caso sul sito si trova un dettagliato tutorial per le funzioni principali. Per ora sono molto soddisfatto! ### 5/5 — Love the powerful exposure bracketing *2025-07-23, version 2025.2.0* 48MP exposure bracketing really provides so much detail. Lots of other great features as well. ### 5/5 — Professional Tool For High Quality Results *2025-05-17* One of the most useful photography apps for people who know what is important in photography. In my opinion the most indispensable photography tool for the iPhone. ### 5/5 — focus stacking on mobile *2024-11-19, version 2024.2.0* the first app that lets me take focus stacking images via the focus bracket mode, very cool thank you dev. please add an option for the moment 75mm macro lens 👍👍 ### 5/5 — Perfect for me *2024-08-21* I’ve been testing out a bunch of different camera apps, and this is one of the very best. Especially for bracketing and macros, none of the others would give me more than 3 exposures without subscribing. Thank you for this app, it’s perfect and I love the interface. ### 5/5 — My DSLR is OUT! *2024-04-19* I LOVE this app! I purchased the PRO version a while ago, but never got around to learning or using it. I love to do HDR photography and real estate images and just kept using my “big” camera out of habit. No more! This app allows my phone to do everything I can do with a DSLR. Couldn’t be happier! ### 5/5 — Demora para aprender a usar *2024-04-11* O focus stacking (focus bracket) é muito mal documentado. Tem duas opções, as duas tem modo de operação diferente e definido através das configurações em “set”. Os resultados não ficam bons se você não souber mexer nessas configurações. precisa determinar o número de fotos que serão combinadas e o intervalo entre um foco e outro (distance bias). Quando o modo “central bias” é ativado nas configurações do bracketing, o foco manual é quem determinará o ponto central das etapas de foco. Quando esse modo é desativado, as fotos serão feitas de acordo com os valores de mínimo e máximo, da aba “Set”. Testando um pouco com as diferentes configurações, os resultados ficam bons. Os desenvolvedores poderiam adicionar uma opção de hiper-resolution com photo stacking, técnica muito usada na astrofotografia, mas que também funciona perfeitamente para fotografia de paisagens. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
