Excellent intro to Photography!

Excellent intro to use of a modern camera! I have a cert in portraiture and needed to refresh after a decade away, this app covers all the basics in a clear manner. I’m so very glad it’s still around I used it to help me study back in the day. If you just got a mirrorless or more advanced camera I HIGHLY recommend this app for teaching you how to shoot/compose. Also great for teaching teens if they don’t have time for a class. Five stars!!

Poor Service

I have been trying to contact them for close to a week. I get all the text but no photo samples. Seems like there is an issue with their server. I like this app but it is incomplete.

Had more potential way back

This photo information and education app was a bit of a hidden gem for a few years. It has a couple of very fine features that the bigger more powerful and professional competitors don’t. However at the same price point it priced itself out of the market thus not enjoying similar success stories as it’s stronger competition that appealed to serious enthusiast and professional photographers. Unfortunately it also appears not to be supported anymore as none of the example photos load into the app. It’s a shame the developer didn’t see the market at the lower end of the spectrum and aim the price point at the beginner and amateur market level. It could and should of been a better seller.

Good info; however, unable to download a single photo.

I have the paid version. Disappointing because not a single photo will download for any topic given.

Best Photography Reference Guide App

A little pricey, but totally worth it. No more fumbling through photography books and research to refresh the memory. Quick photography reference guide right in your pocket.
