The feature set is strong, the interface is clean, and it does exactly what you’d expect for managing rolls and shooting data. One thing to be aware of: using the Max reference image resolution caused consistent crashes for me when adding a new frame. Changing this setting to High resolved the issue completely, and the app has been stable ever since. With that adjustment, everything works as intended. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Great new update! *2024-11-16* The new user interface is a significant improvement. I use this app every time I take photos. The only feature I’m missing now is a watchOS app that allows me to quickly record a frame without taking my phone out. ### 5/5 — Crown + Flint is amazing! *2024-08-28* The App Store Preview images of Crown + Flint give you a glimpse into the rich features and thought that went into this app’s design. And, to me, it’s a positive sign the developer solicits user feedback and updates the app regularly. Crown + Flint requires you enter some to as much information as you wish about your film, cameras, lenses, etc. The app keeps track of everything and allows you to export your metadata easily. For me, I loaded everything I could (i.e., 18 film rolls and 2 boxes with expiration dates; 3 cameras, 7 lenses, and lots of filters.) Then, I loaded a roll into my 35mm camera and went shooting. With each shot, I used the app subsequently to record my settings, a small image of the scene and the location (although you could easily use the app first to have it measure the scene’s exposure for you.) At the end of the roll, it was nice to have the app export my film metadata as a PDF (note: CSV and exiftool export formats also available) so I can transcribe (or use a plugin) to enter the data into Adobe LrC and NegativeLabPro after scanning my negatives. This app is great and is quite useful for my analog to digital workflow. ### 5/5 — Great app for film shooting and record *2024-08-25, version 6.0.4* easy to use, nice interfaces, outscale all other film information apps… Would you consider add a function that allow users to upload their own film box icon? Lots of films don’t have a picture in default. Definitely would pay for the pro mode if it can upload own film box icon ### 4/5 — Data and export is great, design needs work *2024-08-19* The basic features of logging what your camera settings were for your frames works great. Exporting to exiftool also works great. Would love to be able to customize the file names in the data export to something other than cf-frame-x.tif, but that’s minor. With the design, once you’re logging, things are fine, but the information architecture is very strange, although totally fixable. First, there’s a hamburger menu that leads to screens which each have their own tab bar. I would axe the sidebar menu, and just have each of those as a tab which leads to a menu, an equipment tab, film tab, and a settings/other tab. Examples of apps that work this way are Apple Music and Health. Keep it up! This app has been extremely useful. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. And you’re in luck! The next release is going to restructure the app in precisely the way you describe. I think you’ll find the new user experience vastly improved! ### 5/5 — Truly a film photographers dream *2024-07-03* The features keep coming with more and more subtle additions that I never even would have thought to ask for, but because a film photographer is developing it, he makes the app he would want to use. A+ ### 5/5 — Checks all the boxes *2024-05-04, version 4.0.1* I have a bit of an obsessive brain, so I had to download every single app in this category to be able to pick one. Crown + Flint is a mile ahead, and it checks all the boxes for me. The light meter works really well and the logging tools are well built. But my favourite thing is being able to follow the journey of each roll, from storage to the camera, then to the lab and finally to archival. This is exactly what I was looking for, I can’t recommend it enough! ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-05-02, version 4.0.1* I’m really pleased with the app, a simple and effective way of logging my cameras lens and film , a great mix of the old and the new Well done ### 5/5 — Great Way to Keep Organized *2024-02-03* Just getting it all loaded up and love how organized it is. I tend to scatter my notebooks so this is going to be a huge help. One suggestion for future updates would be to add a quick way to note whether you intend to push or pull a loaded roll of film. I can still do it in the "notes" field, though! ### 5/5 — Has become a vital tool when using my film cameras *2023-10-03, version 1.0.1* Incredibly useful App for keeping track of what film is in what camera. Recording settings used so can look back and see what works and how I could improve next time. I now use this every time I shoot. Very responsive support too. ## Frequently asked questions about Crown & Flint ### What is Crown & Flint? Crown & Flint is a digital assistant designed for analog photographers.
