## What is Night Eyes?

Have you ever wanted to take a photo in low light conditions?

Due to complex mathematical algorithms Night Eyes provides residual light amplification in real-time for your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch without additional hardware.

The image is illuminated in real-time (without delay). You can also switch the light amplification mode to exposure mode for better quality. With an exposure time of up to one second you will be able to view the smallest details. It's ideal for twilight situations.

The luminance histogram shows you the brightness level in real-time.

Zoom in inconspicuously using the 10x digital Live Zoom - and shoot your photos.

You've naturally got many different color filters to choose from.

The most important functions are:

- Three amplification modes
- Up to 1 second * exposure time
- Residual light amplification
- True low light enhancement
- Real-time luminance histogram
- Volume Up (+) Photo Capture
- 10x digital live zoom
- Tap to focus
- Color filters: green, red, blue, b/w, sepia, etc.
- Take HD photos
- Landscape and portrait modes
- Supports the front & back cameras
- Supports LED lights
- Supports EXIF-data

*) only on supported devices

A good camera and a powerful processor are required, to get the maximum picture quality.

All the screenshots listed were taken with an iPhone and iPad and are genuine!

Please note that this app does not provide true night vision functionality. The iPhone, iPad and iPod touch have no infrared amplifier, as a result no pictures can be taken in total darkness; a minimal level of light is still required, which can be ascertained by the camera's sensors. The preview will also be delayed in exposure mode. In addition the camera must be held stable for exposure time.

### 5/5 — 迅速な対応に感謝します！

*2026-07-02*

前回、App Storeでレビューを投稿し、あわせてデベロッパーへフィードバックを送りましたが、その時は改善されませんでした。その後、レビューを削除し、改めて「前回選択したカラー効果（『なし』を含む）を次回起動時にも保持してほしい」という要望だけをシンプルにお伝えしました。

すると、本日のアップデートで対応していただき、とても嬉しく思っています。前回のレビューやフィードバックは、私の伝え方が分かりにくかったのかもしれません。

ユーザーの声に素早く耳を傾け、改善してくださる姿勢に感謝しています。とても気に入っているアプリなので、これからのアップデートにも期待しています。ありがとうございました！

### 5/5 — 設定したカラー効果を起動時にも保持してほしい

*2026-06-10*

とても気に入っているアプリです。暗い場所でも使いやすく、普段から愛用しています。

1つだけ要望があります。

カラー効果を変更した場合、その設定（「なし」を含む）をアプリ終了後や次回起動時にも記憶しておけるようにしていただけると嬉しいです。毎回同じ設定に変更する手間がなくなり、さらに快適に使えると思います。

素晴らしいアプリなので、今後のアップデートで対応をご検討いただけると幸いです。これからも応援しています。

### 5/5 — Skeptical at first

*2025-10-08, version 4.12*

I have had plenty of experience as a boat captain often operating at night and I quickly learned that having passive night vision in my arsenal of tools was a extremely helpful. Over the years, night vision binoculars or monocular proved essential. When I first saw that I could get night vision in an app for my phone I was extremely skeptical. How could an app even come close to true night vision? Well, I tried several different ones before finding this app is the best of the bunch. I’ve been using it for almost a year now and I can honestly say, in spite of a slight learning curve, this app is the real deal. Does it compare with a pair of $2,000 binoculars? Yes. Granted, if you have $800 to $2,000 and up to spend, you will get state of the art light amplification. But this app is state of the art light amplification for my iPhone camera.. and I didn’t spend anywhere near what I spent on binoculars that are usually left on the boat. I take my Night Eyes with me everywhere. I. My pocket. When I need to know what’s out there in the dark, I have what I need to see it. This actually works. And it actually works quite well. Try it. Take a week or so to play with different settings to get an idea of how it works and how to see what you are looking at. I seriously recommend it to anyone who wants to see in near total darkness.

### 5/5 — Great

## Frequently asked questions about Night Eyes

### What does Night Eyes do?

Night Eyes uses complex mathematical algorithms to amplify residual light in real-time, allowing you to take photos in low-light conditions. It enhances images without requiring additional hardware, providing better visibility in twilight and dim environments.

### What are the key features of Night Eyes?

Key features include three amplification modes, exposure times up to one second, residual light amplification for true low-light enhancement, a real-time luminance histogram, 10x digital live zoom, tap-to-focus, and various color filters like green, red, blue, black and white, and sepia. It also supports HD photo capture and front/back cameras.

### Is Night Eyes a true night vision app?

No, this app does not provide true night vision functionality. iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches lack infrared amplifiers, so pictures cannot be taken in total darkness. A minimal level of light is still required for the camera's sensors to function.

### What are the system requirements for Night Eyes?

A good camera and a powerful processor are required to achieve the maximum picture quality. The app is designed for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Note that the preview may be delayed in exposure mode, and the camera must be held stable during exposure time.

### Can I use Night Eyes in complete darkness?

No, the app requires a minimal level of light to function. While it significantly enhances low-light capabilities, it cannot capture images in absolute darkness as it relies on the device's existing camera sensors and does not have infrared amplification.
