User reviews

Do much potential

The images the app can produce are simply amazing. Especially the film simulations like tri-x 400 really look great.
BUT: the app crashes or lags a lot.
So in hasty environments, it is just too unreliable.

I will buy the lifetime version if this gets fixed.

Crashes with manual controls

This will be a really great app, when it finally works. On my iPhone 15 Pro iOS 26.4 choosing manual controls exits the app. Please fix this and get 5 stars! Thank you! By the way: I use the lifetime paid version.
To buy the expensive Pro version seems senseless at the moment, and you get no answer from the developer. Poor.

Amazing! Also love that I can create and share my own simulations!

Finally, a camera app that delivers. Grayn Pro nails the look and feel of classic film without the usual subscription nonsense. The built-in simulations are stunning—each shot feels intentional and cinematic.

What really sets it apart? You can build your own simulations from scratch and share them. It’s powerful, but still intuitive. No fluff, no filters trying to be “vintage”—just real, character-rich tones.

Buy once, and that’s it. If you care about photography and hate gimmicks, this is the one.
