now i’m truly mad
where did the controls go?! literally can no longer manually adjust the iso/exp/wb/foc?! that’s the whole point of the app…. just bombed my shot at a great moon pic 👍 thanks for nada.
also, if there’s some way to control it, why not add that to the explanation of the app update if you’re going to do a complete overhaul.
edit: found the controls, (you have to click display>scroll down and toggle manual controls on) however, i still stand by the second part of my last review.

Amazing app, great customer service!
I love the app, especially the light trails and stars mode. I had issues and emailed over and got a quick response with a fix that was entirely my fault but were incredibly helpful. 10/10 recommend to a friend
Failed to open
Don't know how but I spent some $ and this app isn't even opening.iOS 27.0 on an iPhone 17 Pro.
Aweful
I am in Arizona and trying to capture the night sky, this app is so slow, locks onto objects too soon, then does not actually capture anything. Not very intuitive in its use. I want a refund.
Absolutely lovely, I
Best app for night time photos and videos
Great
The greatest app for ghost hunting
really wish there was a toggle for ai
really sad to have to give this poor of a review bc i have loved this app for a long time. but ever since ai exp was introduced, my moon shots just have never been the same. sucks that like, with many apps it’s just not optional, and no one ever asked users opinions about it before implementing. bc while it does have some pros to it, the cons simply outweigh them; with the number one weight factor not even being degradation within features of apps, but the environmental impact.

Meteor Mode
“Meteor Mode” in new update not working correctly with the repeat 5-second exposures. Requests for correction/guidance go unanswered.
Hardly able to do anything worthwhile
I can’t believe I wasted money on this.
I understand the goal, but…
Completely useless with my 11”

Doesn’t Work With iPhone SE3 iOS 26.6
iPhone SE (3rd generation), iOS 26.6. NightCap 10.0.0 crashes immediately on launch. Camera permission is never requested and NightCap does not appear under Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera.
Zero Shooting Stars
NightCap captured zero shooting stars on the best meteor shower night of the year. Free alternatives are much better.
didn't save all photos
was capturing photos of the meteor shower last night (august 13th) and i didn't save every photo it took. i had it taking photos for about 1 hour and 30 minutes and was taking photos every 5-10 seconds so in that type of situation you'd expect quite a lot of photos but i ended up with only about 30 photos actually in my camera roll that it had taken even though that would only add up to about 30-60 seconds of photos being taken yet i had photos being taken for well over an hour and didn't even get them all. lost some amazing photos because of this. other than that, the app was easy to use and easy to work out and worked very well. though i do wish the meteor option was allowed with videos and time lapse and not just photos.

比原相机还糊，怪不得不让试用直接收费才能安装
从没见过这么差的收费应用，完全不可用，用三角架拍星空无论照片还是视频全是糊的
problem
I do not know how to describe it, I was very infuriated that I left the timelapse for the whole night until morning, it did not survive. It just wasn't preserved!!!!!!!!! the shutter button was not pressed, it was just 6 hours empty, the design of the application is terrible, inconvenient, nothing is clear

A MUST HAVE for astrophotography and a wonderful dev team!
I’ve been using NightCap for years for astrophotography, and it’s become one of those rare apps that stays on my iPhone because I genuinely use it. Whether I’m photographing the Milky Way, star trails, or just experimenting with low-light photography, it’s consistently produced results that simply aren’t possible with the standard camera app.
What really prompted me to write this review, though, was my recent experience with the developer. I reached out with a feature request after noticing that background music would stop while using the app. I honestly wasn’t expecting much, but they responded quickly, explained that the issue had already been addressed in the upcoming version, and even invited me to help beta test the new release.
It’s refreshing to see a small developer who genuinely listens to users and is passionate about improving their app. That kind of support is becoming increasingly rare.
If you’re interested in night photography or astrophotography on iPhone, I highly recommend giving NightCap a try. It’s been one of my favorite photography apps for years, and after interacting with the developer, I’m even more confident recommending it to anyone interested in night photography on iPhone.

Kann Sterne-technisch nicht mehr als die native Kamera
Die App ist zwar laggy, allerdings ist sie auf meinem iPhone 15 Pro nicht so beeinträchtigt wie in den anderen letzten Rezensionen. Der Hauptgrund warum ich die App heruntergeladen habe-um die Milchstraße zu fotografieren- lässt sich mit der App leider nicht besser als mit der Nativen Kamera App bei 30s machen. Selbst bei 90s Belichtung in der App sehen die Bilder schlechter aus. Wer sich die App allerdings für Zeitraffer oder ähnliches herunterlädt, der wird vermutlich wenige Probleme haben.

Iss
I was trying to get a photo of the ISS as had seen others doing, I asked how and was told to use this great app, wow worked so well 😊
Very good tools to do challenging shots, great at night shots and more
This is one app that I can’t find an equivalent for on the non iPhone platforms. It takes some time getting to know its capabilities,
But it’s well worth it. Timelapse, deep camera control using traditional photography controls and nomenclature, stars, space station mode, light trails. A lot of things found in other apps, but this one does it right and best.
