### 5/5 — Beste manuelle Kontrolle

*2026-06-07*

Diese App hat mit Abstand die übersichtlichsten und am einfachsten zu benutzenden manuellen Kontrollelemente. Wenn man weiß, was man tut, und genau so etwas sucht, gibt es nichts Besseres. Das schlieẞt beliebige Prioritäts-/Automatikmodi ein, die hier genau so funktionieren, wie man es erwartet.

Außerdem eine der ganz wenigen Apps, die nicht über die Jahre vermeintlich verbessert oder mit angeblich benutzerfreundlicherer UI verhunzt wurde. Weiter so.

Wenn man direkt die RAWs bearbeitet, ist alles perfekt. Nur schönere, minimal verarbeitete JPGs würde ich mir noch wünschen, wie es sie z.B. bei Halide mit Process Zero gibt, das allerdings in  neueren Versionen stark unter den angesprochenen Verschlimmbesserungen der UI leidet.

### 1/5 — App ui not working

*2025-08-29, version 2025.3.0*

I had high hopes for the app but sadly, the ui is too big for my iPhone 11. I cannot touch the shutter or adjust anything. Is there any way to fix this? Very disappointed

### 3/5 — Rückfragen zu Update

*2025-04-06*

Für mein neues iPhone 16 E (mit der neuesten iOS-Version) habe ich mir jetzt verschiedene Foto-Apps angeschaut und bin auf diese hier gestoßen. Ich finde sie gut bedienbar und sehr gut und übersichtlich strukturiert. 

Leider wird mir das Format ProRAW (noch) nicht zur Auswahl angezeigt (nur RAW).


Und noch eine Rückfrage: Wie in der AppStore-Werbevorschau zu sehen ist, gibt es noch eine Bildbearbeitungs-Möglichkeit (siehe Foto am Ende der Bildgalerie mit dem Hund: rechts oben, das grüne Logo). Leider ist das im Moment nicht in meiner Region (München) verfügbar. Gibt es dafür noch ein Update? Gerade deswegen habe ich mir eigentlich diese App gekauft um die Tiefenschärfe meiner Bilder einfacher zu bearbeiten als bisher… (leider scheint das auch nur mit den Fotos möglich zu sein, die mit dieser App fotografiert wurden und nicht etwa auch mit Screenshots). Würde mich sehr freuen, wenn da noch mehr möglich wird!

Schön, fände ich auch den Zoommodus in allen Fotostilen verfügbar zu haben.

Aber soweit: Danke!!

### 1/5 — CRAPOLA!!!!

*2025-01-15, version 2025.2.0*

Not better than the native camera in my phone. No post editing and can’t separate the ISO from the exposure dial. In fact, it doesn’t deliver much of what it says. Nevertheless, I’ve bought two other apps from the same creator and they really work great.
I’ve reported TWICE to Apple and they told me NO REFUND!! With no explanation whatsoever.
This is a SCAM!!!

### 5/5 — Saved my iPhone 15 photos!

*2023-12-20, version 2023.1.0*

I had an iPhone X since launch, the camera wasn’t fantastic by today’s standards but it took decent enough pictures and they looked fairly natural.

I recently upgraded to the iPhone 15, started taking pictures using the default camera app and they all just looked… very wrong. The so called smart processing was ruining the way things looked! Tried taking a photo of someone with Dark Brown hair, it ended up with them looking Ginger, and so on. Switching the default photographic style to “Cool” mode made things a little better, but no matter what settings I tweaked within the app the resulting photos didn’t come out right.

Thankfully, I’d downloaded this forever ago and thought I’d give it a try in the hope it’d let me see if there was something wrong with the actual camera or the way photos were being processed.

I took some photos using this and it was like I was using a completely different camera… The pictures are great, and the colours looked natural again!

I don’t normally leave reviews, but wanted to for this to thank the developer(s) for basically saving the camera on my new phone for me!

### 5/5 — It's my primary camera app for RAW capture

*2023-11-29*

I've been using this app for years. But now that I've upgraded to an iPhone 15 Pro. I see this app doesn't support the new "optical" 1.x zoom that the new phone supports.

It also doesn't seem to support 12 Bit ProRAW capture.

It would be great if the developer updated the app to include latest iPhone hardware support and latest iOS.

4:4:4 chroma sub-sampling on both front and back cameras for non-raw capture on this app is truly still unique.

### 1/5 — IPhone X OIS

*2023-04-13*

Sorry for 1 star but there’s no OIS on iPhone X in all 3rd party apps (halide, ProCamera, ProShot). I’ve read a post from 2019 stating there’s OIS for dng caprure on iPhone X in your app but now there’s no

### 5/5 — Greate & handy camera app

*2022-05-25, version 2021.3*

All features are easy use, like it
Manual focus is vary usable when take a close up picture, but my eyes not so good to check if it’s on focus, it would be better is app can show focus area in manifest color

### 2/5 — Hard to Find Photos

*2021-05-29, version 2021.2*

I have 3,000 photos. Seems I must go thru each one, one at a time, staring with photo #1,  to find the one I wish to edit! I just gave up. Was I not seeing a simpler way????

### 2/5 — 怎么不能设置中文，看不懂

*2021-01-06*

希望支持多语言吧
