### 5/5 — BEST for night photography!

*2024-03-24*

Dream Camera is the one you want for all your night photography needs.  It does an incredible job capturing the moon in all its beauty.  One  request:  Stop opening with Flash as default!  I never use flash.  Otherwise, love it!

### 5/5 — Love it!! For iPad Pro 4th Gen

*2023-09-19*

This works great when using macro for the iPad Pro 4th gen, but iPhone 14 Pro Max? Can’t focus automatically with iPhone 14 Pro Max but with iPad Pro 4th gen - yes!!!! I really love this app because it controls how much light I use than the native Apple camera which is harder to control how much light you are able to use when selling stuff on eBay. Thank you for making this “dream” come true! 5 stars - but please fix for iPhone 14 Pro Max.. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Don’t work

*2022-01-29*

It’s don’t work, what’s problem

### 5/5 — Dream camera

*2021-09-21*

Yes I update Iios 15 new update the dean camra Stop working it’s not letting me open the apps thank you is a cure apps

### 5/5 — It's Good

*2020-03-09*

Definitely an improvement over the Apple stock camera app. Being able to alter the exposure by simply finger sliding on the screen is great. As is the manual focus control. Bit of a nit pic is the exposure 0 (zero) mark which needs to be wider so as it can be seen easier when the out door light is bright. Or a screen button to return the exposure to zero.
Conclusion I prefer this one so this is my default camera app.

### 5/5 — iPhone 6s  os  13.2

*2019-10-16*

App shuts down as soon as I take a photography without saving it. Can someone get it sorted? If you manage to fix this you have 4 stars...

### 5/5 — Dream camera

*2015-05-31, version 2.5*

Excellent

### 5/5 — A Terrific Camera

*2014-05-11*

Visual magic in an app. I've taken so many compelling images with this very special app. The interface is well thought out and easy to use. I appreciate the elegance of the treatments, nothing cheesy here, most importantly, the app loads fast and processes fast - no delay taking your next photo. Get it.

### 4/5 — A little bit of magic....

*2014-02-12*

I love this simple gem. It certainly has the best file access features of all photo manipulation apps - I can upload a file locally (from gallery or an album) open the app from any web/cloud app through the upload (<open in>) portal, and when I'm finished my subtle finessing or wildly dramatic flourishes, I can email, share, post, send to a collage app, set as wallpaper or just put the file back from whence it came without exiting the app. 
Maybe Instagram et al have this feature, but my brain would explode trying to figure it out. 
So there's no back and forth (save changes to gallery, exit app, enter gallery, exit gallery, enter frame app, save to gallery aaargh!) which seem to be the only file manipulation options from the bigger apps. This flexibility also prohibits the slow and steady spread of memory chewing caches those other apps hide in their attics. 
I'm not working with snapshots. I create artsy things with overlays - they're large files, and transporting them from app to app from within other apps is a major RAM drain. I like to listen to music while I work, this is an issue with the heavyweight apps, if I forget to perform frequent manual refreshes (I strongly recommend cMemory Pro), sudden freeze/crash/unscheduled reboots are inevitable.

This product doesn't perform a million tricks, but its file management skills are memory-friendly. I can run background music (though we all know there's no such thing in IOS), pretend i'm a digital Jackson Pollock, and never crash.

All I want is a Color Wheel, perhaps a contrast setting or density calibrator - nothing heavy - maybe you can ditch some of the presets and yield that space to the user's imagination... Just don't touch that "Dream" effect. It's simply beautiful.

### 5/5 — soooooo cool

*2012-12-13, version 2.1*

using this on my iPad mini.
the effects are incredibly fun.  not overwhelming.
intuitive.  luxurious tonality.  I am a photographer...
old school.  love this app!
