Jeder hat so seine Prioritäten, dies wären meine: Zoom und manuelle Schärfe raus (Tap to focus ist gezielter und ebenso manuell). Weißabgleich rein. Belichtung sollte sich bei manueller Iso automatisch anpassen, ebenso bei manueller Belichtungszeit. Erst wenn man beide manuell wählt, sollte die Bildhelligkeit frei wählbar sein. Iso bzw. Zeit frei wählbar ist schon genial, trotzdem würde ich dann nicht auf die automatische Messung verzichten wollen. ### 4/5 — Sehr guter Ansatz (mit Optimierungspotential) *2014-12-30, version 1.0* Endlich mal eine App, die sich auf das Wesentliche konzentriert. Sie bleibt dadurch übersichtlich und intuitiv anwendbar. Die manuelle Belichtungskorrektur ist sicher die entscheidende Funktion. ISO-Einstellung kann in Sonderfällen auch sehr sinnvoll sein. Besser als eine (sehr ungenaue) manuelle Scharfstellung wäre m.E. ein Touch-Fokus gewesen. Der ist wesentlich intuitiver, schneller und genauer. Aber die App steht ja erst am Anfang. ;-) Die Richtung stimmt schon mal. ### 4/5 — Pretty nice *2014-12-30, version 1.0* Elegantly simple app that lets me appreciate the low light capabilities of my camera. What I look forward to in future updates include: (1) A one-button reset of all settings to default. (2) Less ambiguous toggle switches between manual and auto. (3) Video capability--yeah I know that's not what it was built for. ### 4/5 — A good start *2014-12-29, version 1.0* An interesting app with huge potential for further development. Current functions work fine. Manual adjustment of aperture would be nice. ### 4/5 — Einfach und gut *2014-12-28, version 1.0* Tut, was getan werden soll. Endlich kann ich ISO und Blende einstellen ### 5/5 — Best camera *2014-12-24, version 1.0* This is the best camera app I ever had. It can control focus, ISO, speed and zoom. Would be better if the aperture can be controlled. There is no ad and it is free. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Well Worth the Money *2014-10-16, version 1.0* Love this app! Well worth the money. Luff gives real photographers complete control of the iPhone camera. It's a lot of fun to experiment with and I've been able to get some really great shots! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst customer support I’ve ever encountered *2019-03-06, version 1.0* This app is well designed except that it has NEVER worked! I tried, (to this date 4 times), to get support from the developer via e mail associated with this app listed in the App Store, on 4 attempts over the course of 1 month I have not had 1 response for this non working app. I’ve attempted deleting and reloading to no avail, and for the record, I’m on a new iPhone XR running current updates. With the potential of having developed a decent application, it falls short on customer support, I’d stay away from wasting space on your phone and choose another option. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2018-01-01, version 1.0* App stürzt meistens ab wenn ich auf manuell schalte. Wenn ich mal auf manuell schalten kann geht sie trotzdem nicht. Livebild ist perfekt, aber beim Auslösen hat man das gleiche schlechte Bild als würde man mit der normalen Kameraapp das Bild machen. App ist so total unbrauchbar. iPhone SE iOS11.1.1 ### 1/5 — Not working *2017-09-19, version 1.0* App stops working as soon as i switch to manual shutter mode. Totally useless. ### 1/5 — Almost a great app *2016-03-27, version 1.0* I like the interface and all but it doesn't actually save my photos anywhere. And the support email address is dead. So I don't think this app is being maintained anymore. ### 1/5 — Crashes in iOS 9 when adjusting shutter speed *2015-11-03, version 1.0* Unusable. Please update ### 1/5 — Crash *2014-12-30, version 1.0* Su iPad 2 non si avvia, va in crash subito dopo l'immagine di Default. ### 2/5 — No white balance *2015-08-15, version 1.0* This app will get 5 stars if it gets white balance. ### 3/5 — Updated for iOS 10/11 *2017-11-17, version 1.0* I love the overall quality of and simplicity of the app but you can add 2 small buttons on the bottom/right side to let us choose the file type we want other than jpg This would make it a updated version for 2017 feel and still have a overall simple use of it like right now Ability to use volume button to take photos Support for raw/tiff Would like to choose what type jpg / raw/ tiff mode. maybe a photo slow shutter mode that takes 5quick photos stacking them to 1 higher quality photo and it would reduce noise in the photos especially in low light situations ### 3/5 — Bella ma *2014-12-29, version 1.0* App ben fatta dalla bella grafica e molto utile! Si può regolare manualmente praticamente tutto iso, bilanciamento, focus. Ma manca il tasto del rullino e quello dei settaggi. ### 3/5 — Super dandy for the most part *2014-12-28, version 1.0* I love how everything works with this app. Smarter people who know more about photography can explain why it's so good. However, whenever I take a picture, it never shows up on my camera roll or in my photos. I guess there are a few shots of mine that are just swirling through the void. It's okay. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ... *2016-07-05, version 1.0* Love this apps! ### 5/5 — Beautiful app *2016-03-31, version 1.0* This app is great and simplistic to use. I do wish it had some features like: Clicking on the volume buttons to take pictures and tapping the screen to focus on a certain object. ### 5/5 — Manual control of your camera on the iPhone *2015-12-16, version 1.0* Simple and excellent app for manual control of the camera on the iPhone. ### 5/5 — Less is more *2015-11-18, version 1.0* super! how to preview my shoots? ### 5/5 — Simple and Takes good pictures *2015-08-31, version 1.0* it does need white balance though ### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing! *2015-04-25, version 1.0* Love it! ### 5/5 — Simple, clear, easy to use. A+ *2015-04-12, version 1.0* I love this for its simplicity and versatility. Great app!! ### 5/5 — Really good app *2015-02-01, version 1.0* I want to say thank you to the developers of this beautiful app :) I just hope that in the future they fix the image quality, I'm not saying that it's bad but it seems to be smaller than 8mp especially when you use longer exposures ### 5/5 — Slick! *2015-01-09, version 1.0* Finally an intuitive camera app that allows me to control all the camera parameters ### 5/5 — Finally *2014-12-26, version 1.0* An app do full manual control. Certainly took long enough. Only qualm is that I don't believe the 1/2 second shutter is actually a true 1/2 second, but that's nitpicking. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
