I definitely feel that I just wasted my money on this. ### 2/5 — Read the description carefully ... *2016-07-13* ... this is what happens when you don't do it. The idea is that you practice controls on an app given picture. This is not a simulator on real pictures you are taking. I shoot film, so I needed a real controller app, to later take the picture. Not worth the money, for me. ### 2/5 — Великолепно, но...., *2015-02-06* Программа очень хорошая и нужная, но нет русского языка, пока ставлю в отзыве два балла. Потом исправлюсь...:-) Исправьте Пжл. На iOX же есть... ### 3/5 — Needs more content *2014-12-31* It was cool for about 5 minutes. That's how long it took me to find out that if I use the exact same camera settings on EVERY shot I get a "good shot" but if I change them on any example it is off. They need to add a bunch more examples under a wide variety of lighting and motion situations and then it be awesome. Right now there are a bunch of examples of the EXACT same situation-- a little girl with a pinwheel swaying under overcast skies. The same settings work best for every example so it gets boring and useless fast. ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2014-12-12* It's a pretty good little app but I can't use it right now because there is no way to turn off the sound of the shutter clicking. The only time I can sit down and play with this app is when my baby is asleep and it wakes her up everytime. Which makes it basically unusable for me 😕 please make this more user friendly? It's a great tool just needs more options. ### 5/5 — Simply awesome *2013-12-09, version 1.0.2* Fantastic app it lets you learn quickly how to setup a dslr in manual mode using different scenarios. Yes you can learn on your camera but why for the few dollars paid for this app should you put 400 plus shutter counts on your camera for the sake of learning. Keep your camera for taking great shots. Job well done. ### 5/5 — Fantastic Idea *2013-07-02* Great idea, great app for the newer photographer, it's good to just play around and as its on iPhone it can be used out in the field. I will also be buying the app for my mac. Can't really think of anything that this app lacks...........maybe a couple more photos to choice from but that's not even an issue. Well Done. ### 4/5 — Pinch vs slide *2013-05-31* Sometimes application understands the Pinch-in or out (Focal) action as a finger Slide up or down (Distance). Please make the same control style for the Focal and Distance as for the rest controls. Otherwise is an amasing game to learn camera control. ### 5/5 — Excellent app, especially for those starting out on DSLRs! *2013-03-09* I'm currently learning how to use a DSLRS at university and my Camera class teacher recommended this app. It's awesome! For beginners it's such a useful app to show the effects you can cause in a digi picture and offers you advice on how to improve the way you take photos. Five stars! ### 5/5 — Good *2013-03-05* Отличная программа! Развивает навыки настроек фотоаппарата, и сразу видно результат на фото. Очень нравится, что есть комментарии к каждому фото. Волосы девочки и игрушка двигаются - можно научиться передать движение или "заморозить" его в кадре. Грамотно сделано. ### 4/5 — More Scenarios *2013-02-05* Other than what I request from the title, it's really great. If my professor is sharing this app with us in college to help us explain the basic principles of taking a photo, I'm pretty sure that's worth saying something. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 各种国家语言都有就是没中国的，值得给你1分 *2019-11-17* 各种国家语言都有就是没中国的，值得给你1分 ### 1/5 — 下载完后悔了 *2019-08-24* 只是个模拟后悔了我那12块钱哎我想退款 ### 1/5 — Awesome idea but severely lacking *2018-07-13* There is only 1 image for you to play with - the app description talks about multiple examples for you to play with, but it is the same image with different simulated lighting scenarios. Also every time you snap a “picture” the app makes a shutter sound, even if you have your phone volume off. Great idea for an app and I want to like it, but it is severely lacking currently. ### 1/5 — Frechheit *2016-12-14* bin leider sehr enttäuscht. Nur ein Bruchteil der Funktionen der PC Version in der App nutzbar. Funktionen völlig unzureichend. So geht die Blende nur bis 2.8 bräuchte aber 1.4, Brennweite in der App 55mm und nicht veränderbar. Die paar Funktionen der App hat man mit der Kamera in 2min durchgetestet. Mein Fazit, Finger weg da absolut unbrauchbar ### 1/5 — Полная хренотень *2016-01-31* Не тратьте деньги на эту х*йню. ### 1/5 — Merda *2014-02-26* Vc acha que eh uma coisa e eh outra! ### 1/5 — Reinfall *2013-07-25* Habe wohl nicht genau gelesen. Das ist ja keine Kamera App. Das ist nur zum üben für Anfänger. Es kann immer nur das Kind fotografiert werden. Die App sollte kostenlos sein. Ich lösche sie wieder. Geld zum Fenster raus geschmissen. Man sollte den Kauf rückgängig machen können. ### 1/5 — Demasiado cara *2012-11-22* Tiene muy poquitas opciones hay apps muchos mejores gratis a esta ke tiene muy poco lastima ke no pueden regresar el dinero pero le solo una estrella ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2012-11-03* This is really a waste of money and time . Doesn't give you much of control and no learning at all. You can better learn from your Dslr camera. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2012-09-30* It will not work with an iPhone 4 1.99 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Need pro version *2017-09-22* Why no pro version on iPhone? Will consider to buy if you have pro version on iPhone ### 5/5 — Супер! *2017-09-01* Благодарю за труды! Когда начинал фотографировать ваше приложение помогло сформировать понимание и навыки треугольника экспозиции, сейчас не фотографирую но захожу в приложение поиграться и вспомнить! :) ### 5/5 — Love it!!!! *2017-07-03* I simply love it!!! I think the maker should keep it up so it can be run with new iPhone versions and maybe other images for the examples. Please keep it alive. We need it. ### 5/5 — Perfeito *2015-12-30* Para quem não sabe de nada de fotografia. Simula muito bem as variáveis para uma boa foto. Iso, abertura e velocidade. ### 5/5 — Just what I wanted *2014-12-27* I was looking for an app that simulated a camera and showed me the effects of changing the different settings from shutter speed to aperture and ISO. This is perfect. ### 5/5 — Необходимое приложение! *2014-10-19* Достойная программа. Нужна для быстрого и более полного понимания работы с проф.фотиками. С помощью нее быстрее разберешься как и что не хватает когда делаешь снимки ### 5/5 — It's worth it *2014-09-15* I've just bought my first camera a few days ago, having never owned a camera, it's a big learning curve. All these new words, aperture, shutter, iso... All new to me, knowing what each mean and how they effect the image is what I didn't really understand apart from the fact the brightness of the image changes. This app let's you play around with their photo, it let's you change these settings and shows you the outcome, it then offers tips on how to make the image better. I've only been on the app for 10 mins, and I now have a great understanding as to what each one does... So yeah, it might be an app you'll use for just a few minutes, but for me, it was worth the money, it's told me what I wanted to know, I've no doubt I'll be referring back to it in the coming weeks when my shots aren't coming out right. Good buy👍 ### 5/5 — 非常好 *2014-02-02* 学好这个，再用单反。 ### 5/5 — Waiting for more features on next update *2014-01-29* This is a perfect simulator. I wonder why some expect this to be a real cam! This is just a simulator to show basics of DSLR cams. ### 5/5 — Great App *2014-01-17* This is a great simulator for a DSLR camera. I've bought it for my partner to learn with so I can get my camera back! Has all the features you need to see, I love the way the motion blur is simulated on a few different scales with the subject's rocking and the windmill. Would be great to see more scenarios/photos, but I love it! Thanks for your hard work on it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
