However, disappointed to see that the latest Sony a7 iv model is not available… and I already paid the extra $1.99 for the Sony cameras. To note, the Sony a7 iv started selling in October 2021, so it’s been almost a year!!! Hope you can add this model soon! Please! ### 4/5 — Really good minus a few *2020-12-16, version 2.4.7* I love the layout of this app. I wish the aperture stops could choose be in full stops or third stops. I think it’s in quarter stops, which makes no sense. I also wish the user could program in specific vocal lengths to have it snap to. ### 2/5 — Camera and sensor app will not load *2020-08-25, version 2.4.5* I purchased the Nikon 7000 series camera and sensor app but it would not load. Clicking on Restore Purchases did nothing. Waiting for fix or refund. ### 3/5 — Promising but flawed *2020-01-31, version 2.4.2* I’m trying to use this app on iPad and it’s seriously flawed. In portrait mode on my iPad Pro 12.9”, I see the distance, f-stop, and focal length scrollers, but no numbers appear. It’s only because I’ve seen it on iPhone (and the Pro version on iPad) that I know what’s going on, but not in this version. After a little experimentation, I’ve discovered that the problem is that the app doesn’t support “dark mode”. If I turn off “dark mode” on my iPad, kill the app, and restart it, then I can see the numbers. It would appear that this app is using default “background” color (allowing it to appear dark), but must have hard coded black as the text color (instead of using the default “foreground” color). The end result, is black on black text when device is in dark mode, rendering the app useless. This app doesn’t quite render right when in landscape mode, either. Even though my 12.9” iPad Pro has tons of screen real-estate, the three scrollers at the bottom are rendered so small as to be useless. I’d suggest taking a look at the constraints (or frame-setting logic). This is an incredibly promising app, whose UI is so much nicer than other apps out there. But these sorts of issues make it really a pain to use. ### 1/5 — Everything is paid, useless *2019-05-20, version 2.4.2* You can’t any any real cameras... canon 6D you have to pay. Nikon D3 you have to pay. DELETED! ### 1/5 — Shocking. *2019-02-07, version 2.4.0* Paid for my camera group and it doesn’t unlock!! The only thing that works for this app is the money taking side! I want my money back. ### 5/5 — So easy *2018-10-25, version 2.3.5* Highly recommend. Free app with ads and in purchase options. Actually spend a few bucks to tailor app to your needs. Really worth a look. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2018-10-24, version 2.3.5* Terrible app unless you have the free camera, when you upgrade to a camera you get charged but the app crashes! DOF then send you to Apple, Apple send you to DOF. Worth having but only if you have the basic cameras you get for free ### 3/5 — Annoying ads after paying *2018-09-27, version 2.3.5* I paid $2.99 to unlock the SONY A7 series and still get ads. Restart - still get ads. It says i need to pay another $1.49 to remove ads. Rip off. Apple won’t allow me to give 0 stars but that’s what it would get. After giving feedback to the developer, they gave me a code to remove ads so no annoyances now. Works as advertised, changed rating. ### 3/5 — Great app but what the.... *2018-09-24, version 2.3.4* Can you just let me pay one price for the app. Why do it in piece mail. And ads once I purchase a camera package. Come on. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unusable *2026-03-09, version 2.5.0* Due to the ad logic on the free version it’s unusable. ### 1/5 — Junk now *2025-12-22, version 2.5.0* …Plus the intrusive ads ### 1/5 — Did not have my camera, still charged money *2024-04-07, version 2.4.8* Waste of time ### 1/5 — This app has two main issues *2022-03-02, version 2.4.8* Hello app makers! This app has two main issues: 1. Too much data sharing. I value privacy a lot, and there's no reason an app should be entitled to my data. What I do on my phone is 100% my business, not anyone else's. There should absolutely no background non-consensual data sharing within the app. Having it listed on the app's download page is not consent, since it's treated as "normal," and it does not ask confirmation. 2. Hundreds of out in the open purchase buttons within the app. This is just a bad user experience. Do you really think anyone wants to scroll past hundreds of purchase buttons while using an app? Not only is it cluttered, it also makes it more likely that someone would make an accidental purchase that they didn't mean to. That is the last thing a person should have to worry about in an app. When I download an app, the transaction between you and me is over. If you want money, ask for it up front. Don't hide it within the app. If you don't ask for it up front, I will never purchase anything within the app. Apologies for the strongly worded message. I have seen so much of this online, I have lost patience for it. ### 1/5 — This app pastes from your clipboard *2021-11-19, version 2.4.7* Why does this app paste from the clipboard as soon as you open it up? It should be a simple depth of field calculator with sliders and numbers. It doesn’t even have a text field for text entry. Perhaps it’s innocuous or accidental or maybe related to ads. But still not cool. ### 1/5 — Save your time *2021-05-02, version 2.4.7* Technically it’s not a scam, but it’s close enough that I’m rounding up.I downloaded this, found my camera (Sony full-frame), the app said I had to pay, so now I’m rating & deleting it and using a different app. Not worth my 2 minutes. ### 1/5 — Disappointing. Doesn’t have the Nikon D780?! *2021-04-15, version 2.4.7* Disappointing. Doesn’t have the Nikon D780.... ### 1/5 — Hidden cost *2020-12-16, version 2.4.7* The app is free to install, however, firstly you’ll have to pay in order to select the appropriate camera, and only after that you’re being informed that you’ll have to cough up an additional £5.99 for the app itself. Therefore, there are hidden costs. Imho this is a bit of a con, as I find the whole purchasing system misleading. Why not state in the first place the app price in addition to adding specific camera price. I lost £0.99 but I won’t buy this app as a matter of principle, due to reasons mentioned above. You have been warned. ### 1/5 — Skip this app *2020-02-23, version 2.4.2* The features and interface are decent, but you have to pay for different sensor sizes. If you shoot APS-C/crop sensor your fine, but if you shoot anything bigger FF 35mm or smaller Micro 4/3... you have to pay to make this app useful... going to delete this app as there are many other free apps that work just as well for no extra cost ### 1/5 — 🥶 *2020-01-04, version 2.4.2* 🤔0/5 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-09-15, version 2.4.8* It works very well. Easy to use! ### 5/5 — Specialk *2020-10-18, version 2.4.7* Excellent app, quick and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Still Works Great *2020-08-25, version 2.4.5* I’ve been using this app for a few months now after doing plenty of research. This does seem to be the most simple, in the most complete app for general reference of depth of field. I really can’t think of one complaint. Works great on the iPhone eight ### 5/5 — Initial Issues Resolved *2020-01-31, version 2.4.2* iPhone X seemed to have issues getting the app to recognise my purchase. After upgrading to iPhone 11 and restoring from Cloud it worked fine and I was finally able to register my Canon 5D Mk iii Reliable and useful app in certain situations. ### 5/5 — Great app. *2020-01-15, version 2.4.2* Will install on my phone and pay for the full version. Very handy tool. ### 5/5 — The Perfect Tool... *2019-12-12, version 2.4.2* When you get to that stage with your photography where you need to know how any given aperture is going to perform (from a focal depth, distance from subject perspective...), this is a must have. Rather that “hearing” how the lens will perform, you get to see it, in real time. Thinking about getting an 85mm f/1.2 or perhaps you have one and can’t figure out why your pics aren’t as sharp as you’ve hoped? It could be the shallow depth of field you’re dialing in. How do you specifically know that? By using this tool!! Great Job guys!! ### 5/5 — A must for pros *2019-09-01, version 2.4.2* Use this all the time!!! ### 5/5 — Quick, easy and stylish DOF app *2019-07-04, version 2.4.2* I use this all app the time because it’s quick to use and well designed. It makes checking DOF efficient and realistic. I love PhotoPills, but not for checking DOF. ### 5/5 — Pro photographer (landscape &street) *2019-06-09, version 2.4.2* Absolutely excellent! This app is invaluable to any photographer wishing to get to grips with Depth of field. If you are a street or landscape photographer you will benefit big time! Perfect for calculating zone focusing in street and also the optimum focus in landscapes. I conduct workshops for both genres and use it throughout each workshop. 5 stars for usability too, it is easy and covers pretty much all the popular brands and models! Worth every penny! ### 5/5 — Great app once you upgrade to ad free *2019-01-13, version 2.4.0* Easy to use. Worth to purchase to remove annoying ads. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
