### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-25, version 5.80*

I shoot a lot of film including at WW2 reenactments. I always refer to the DDoF app when setting up my cameras for those events, and it’s always given me great results.

### 5/5 — Martin Lawrence

*2025-09-24, version 5.80*

A great app, instantly gives detailed information on depth of field when planning a photograph; and a superb teaching tool in photography lessons.

### 1/5 — Does not open

*2024-12-04, version 5.80*

Installed, didn’t open.  Deleted and installed again. Still didn’t open. Rechecked compatibility - iOS 12. That checked out fine, too.  I am sure this is working great for many folks, and I hate to leave such negative feedback, especially since the price is right and the developer seems to have been responsive, but maybe this note will reassure anyone having the same experience that they are not crazy.

### 5/5 — Planning aperture ahead

*2024-09-14, version 5.80*

Okay, on your camera you can visually see the depth of field but not always clearly enough on the screen. Nor in the view finder - if you have one! This app will let you plan ahead with precise settings. No wasted time and no disappointment when you see your enlarged image. Extremely helpful when choosing the lens in the first place.

### 5/5 — DOF App

*2024-08-12, version 5.80*

I use this app a lot in some tricky photo shoots to make sure that I am getting the right depth of field for portraits

### 5/5 — Handy app

*2024-05-22, version 5.80*

Handy app for zone focusing

### 5/5 — Great App.

*2024-01-02, version 5.80*

Great app for use with my backyard bird photography. Helps me determine which fstop I use

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2023-12-10, version 5.80*

A superb app.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-02-05, version 5.80*

This is a nice tool for setting depth of field. If you’re into Macro photography, you should get this app

### 4/5 — The support email link in the app does not work.

*2022-12-04, version 5.80*

I like this app and find it useful, especially for Large Format Photography. When entering the distance does one measure from the film plane/sensor plane or from the front of the lens. This is especially relevant for close-up work. In the case of my 8 x 10 camera there is an 18+ inch difference. I urge you to add this information to the app. Thanks.
