Mostly Great
I have been using this app for years, and it works very well, with one exception. With the recent update that changed the look of the app, a function seems to have been lost. I use cameras with interchangeable backs, and also large format cameras that use film holders. I can no longer have more than one roll (or sheet film type) going for any camera, which means that I have had to set up my film backs and film holders as the cameras. I preferred it the way it was.

Hey there! Thanks for the note. As someone who also uses cameras with film backs/holders I'm very interested in addressing this problem for you. Can you please send me an email so we can see about getting this fixed for you? Thanks much.
When it worked it was good
Last year, I loved this app and it did everything I could ask for. The update made it unusable I can no longer select a camera and have multiple loaded rolls. The camera selection is just blank. I reached out to Apple and got no response. The developer webpage for support won’t load. I’m so disappointed because this was such a great app.

Great for data needs
My wife is a metadata analyst. She was jazzed when I told her about this app. Used it this weekend on a camping trip and it allowed me to keep great record of the shots I got.
I really like being able to take a reference photo for each frame. It would be awesome though if I could upload a reference photo instead. I’m using a light meter app that outputs an image with all the exposure data.

Thanks for your support! In case you missed it, v3 now supports adding reference photos from the camera, your photos library, or both. Enjoy!
Absolutely the best app for shooting film
I’ve tried every single photo logging/EXIF app that I could run on my phone and this is hands-down the best option. Using this _will_ improve your photography, you’ll be able to learn what exposure you prefer with different film stocks and you can keep track of which lenses you use the most. I have a lot of gear and I switch cameras/lenses constantly, this allows me to very easily check what camera/lens/exposure/location a photo had, when I get the scans back six months later and can’t remember a thing. The developer added an option for CSV export and it’s great, I store it with the scans on my computer so I never lose the “EXIF” for a given roll.
A few suggestions: it would be nice to be able to individually specify 1/3, 1/2, or whole stops for exposure comp and shutter defaults per camera, and the same for lens aperture. I have some cameras that have exposure comp in 1/2 stops (Nikon FE, notably). Also, adding a “0” in the exposure comp presets would be nice.
Overall, I love this app. It’s easy to use, reliable, let’s me track many, many cameras and lenses, and has fields for all the relevant info a session could have. Well done.

Thanks so much for the kind words! You'll be happy to know that v3 now supports aperture range selection for lenses, available on a per-lens basis.
Nearly perfect
It’s nearly perfect but it seems it still has a while to get there.
Regarding ease of use when taking pictures it’s very convenient. It remembers the settings of the previous frames and allows for quick intro of custom values.
However when exporting the data, several things can be improved. First, few details of the gear are being exported (missing camera/lens make, model or serial number) even though the app supports them. Also names of exported columns are not default EXIF tags, making it a pain to attach those values to the scanned images using tools like ExifTool.
