Hope to find out this time ### 2/5 — Wish able to turn off Shutter sound *2025-04-26, version 4.9* Wish able to turn off Shutter sound ### 4/5 — Sehr gut *2024-04-20, version 4.4* an alles wurde gedacht ### 4/5 — I FORGOT I HAD THIS APP… i’m a dummy! *2023-09-04, version 3.13* I’ve got every kind of camera app you can imagine and have a few “go to” apps in a “goto “ folder. This morning about 5am, I was sitting in backyard just noodlin taking pictures of the night sky with a couple of my “goto@ apps and it just wasn’t working. Then I remembered this app! I pulled it out of my cloud storage and… wild boy howdy! It did exactly what I wanted. The lo-light shots of my dogs sleeping on the patio looked great! Thank you for this app(belatedly). It is now in my “goto “ folder where it belonged! ### 3/5 — Daggone nightlight *2023-04-26, version 3.12* Half the time the nightlight is nowhere to be found, for when it’s really dark. Frustrating that I paid for this. That’s what I bought it for. It was easily accessible in free version and can’t find it half the time in paid version. It’s great when it works. ### 4/5 — Spettacolo *2023-01-08, version 3.11* Applicazione fantastica, merita i soldi spesi, facile nell utilizzo è fantastica nelle prestazioni ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-09-08, version 3.10.1* This app is truly magical for any iPhone that lacks a night mode camera feature. To transform any iPhone model into a night mode camera is just pure genius and magic. So glad I had the itch in my mind to search the App Store for this type of app!! ### 5/5 — Best Buy *2022-09-03, version 3.10.1* Awesome ### 5/5 — Macht was se soll 👍 *2022-08-06* Eine sehr gute App, muss Mann aber sich reinarbeiten. Durch die hohe Belichtung ist das natürlich nix für schnelle Fotos ### 5/5 — Spettacolare! *2022-07-25, version 3.9.4* Sono riuscito a fotografare una lepre di notte! ### 5/5 — I like it *2022-06-07, version 3.9.4* Have found that i use this camera a lot. It does what it says it does. In fact there seems to be plenty of bang for your bucks ### 3/5 — Su iPhone XS si blocca spesso *2022-04-23, version 3.9.3* Si blocca spesso 😭 ### 2/5 — No response *2022-03-02, version 3.9.2* App is ok but most annoyingly, every image I take has to be rotated in iPhone photos. The developer does not respond when I ask about this problem. Maybe this review will prompt something? ### 5/5 — Отличное приложение *2022-01-25* Отличное приложение ### 5/5 — ดีครับ *2022-01-17, version 3.9.2* ดีมากครับปรับได้หลายอย่าง ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to work *2026-07-02, version 5.3* What was a great app now won’t save an image anywhere but within the app. Every time I try to save it anywhere else the app crashes. I had hoped the latest update would have fixed the problem but it didn’t. I would like to save my images but it seems that is too much to ask. ### 1/5 — jpeg出力不可 *2026-04-19* 2026年4月現在、カメラロールへの出力ができなくなりました。 ### 1/5 — Beaucoup de lacunes *2023-08-23* Le système de sauvegarde des prises de vue est compliqué pas intuitif du tout, rébarbatif. Les réglages manuels sont très limités. Manque notamment un réglage manuel des temps d’exposition pour des expositions longues, mériteraient d’être bien améliorée le réglage F/d là colorimétrie. Application en dessous des applications concurrentes **Developer response:** Hi, there is a new update available now. Can you please try this update? ### 1/5 — The app performs worse than the built in camera *2022-12-06, version 3.11* I had hoped this would solve an issue with night sky photography where my phone camera app needs about 1/4 to be a near by lit object to focus on stars far far away (such as building or tree) i hoped the manual focus of this would allow me to say. No. Stars please and not have worse blur than when im not wearing my glasses 1. Phone does upto 30s exposure with a near by object perfectly. Vs this app only does 3s and lags so bad you cant focus or really use anything even with the same object that gave great results for the built in app 2. Doesnt support specifying the rear cameras 3. Developer doesnt respond to contact. Photos are generally less good than when done with the built in app using a focus spot or light meter spot I paid for this app. I was stupid. Dont be like. E ### 1/5 — Sofort Crash beim Start *2022-05-15* Das neueste Update macht lange nichts und beendet sich dann. Dadurch komplett unbrauchbar. ### 1/5 — No info to use *2021-10-02, version 3.9.2* Maybe professionals can figure out what to do but i ve lost a fabulous night sky and no idea how to make the shots show it Very disappointing ### 1/5 — Nicht gut *2021-04-14* Die Standardkamera macht bessere Fotos bei wenig Licht. Fazit: Überflüssig ### 1/5 — どうして？ *2021-04-07* シャッタースピードとかが変えられない。なんで？ **Developer response:** Hi, a new update with a fix is available now. ### 1/5 — Absolutely awful *2021-02-27, version 3.8.5* Don’t waste your money this is the worst camera app I’ve ever used total rip off ### 1/5 — Хуже стокового *2020-11-14* Приобрёл данное приложение за 279. На аппарат IPhone X. С прошивкой 14.2. Снимает в ночном режиме отвратительно. Скорость затвора чисто номинальная, огромное количество шумов при максимальной выдержке. В авто режиме снимает хуже стокового и днём и ночью. Со своей задачей справляется ужасно. Жаль потраченных денег и времени. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-05-21, version 5.1* Update to zero processing or natural photo ### 5/5 — Good *2025-11-15, version 4.12* Good ### 5/5 — New features *2025-06-17, version 4.9* What are the cool new features ? ### 5/5 — Night Camera HD *2025-02-26* Tolle App, die sehr gut funktioniert. Eine Video Aufnahmemöglichkeit für Low light Aufnahmen wäre toll. ### 5/5 — Night Camera HD *2024-11-09, version 4.8* Seems easy to work and no problems ### 5/5 — night cam *2023-11-01, version 4.1.1* Ottima app ### 5/5 — FANTÁSTICO *2023-10-20, version 4.1.1* FANTÁSTICO ### 5/5 — Great camera… *2023-06-26, version 3.13* Camera doesn’t only work better ay night. Way clearer during daytime also. All round better camera than one that comes on your phone… ### 5/5 — Amazing low light pictures! *2023-02-26, version 3.12* Been using this app since the iphone 5... It's been really good all the way through! 10/10 recommend it; the low light pictures are so good you can see stars ### 5/5 — Good job *2023-02-06, version 3.12* It works good in the dark, especially when you’re outside --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
