Excellent app

This is the app im looking for

Best one I’ve found

Great app. Does what is says in the tin, so no complaints. My only feedback would be to have a video on how to best use it or a user manual. Once you get it, it’s easy and super quick to add every photo, but the first few minutes I was a bit confused and gave up for a while. Then I tried again with an actual roll of film in my camera and it all clicked. It would be great to have a video showing how the developer uses it. It’s clearly built to scratch a personal itch.

Great little tool

While the tool has some minor quirks, the devoloper is responsive and it's clear he is building this to be the swiss army knife of film note-taking. It's a vast improvement over jotting down notes in a notebook be it physical or Apple's built it notes app. Looking forward to future versions!

Strange operation

Changing lens mid-roll is a hassle - you have to do it twice (why is there focal length setting and it’s not changing when I change the lens). Requires extra steps to attach an actual photo to each exposure, otherwise you have to rely on the sequence number to match EXIF to your scans later.

Simply using iPhone’s note taking app is far faster and easier.

Great tool so far! Missing one thing…

The shutter speed of 1/100 is missing, can you please add that option? Or allow free input for shutter speed. Thanks!
