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.
