Best app for its purpose
This is a great app. I like the user interface a lot. It does a decent job of mimicking what’s happening on my camera. This app is helping me enjoy the process of relearning film photography. Great job. Thanks
Great intent, much to be desired
I really want to love this app, but find it frustrating to use - to a degree like all “film EXIF log” apps - though simple fixes could be made but have not been. Some of my top gripes and frustrations:
1) cannot review film logs after set to “developed” or “done” - need to email the CSV and open in app or spreadsheet program
2) Limited EXPORT options. Developed film EXIF uses default Mail app, cannot use Gmail, Dropbox, or anything else to get the CSV files off your phone. If default mail app is broken or don’t want to use it - cannot export at all!
3) first shot is on setting 0 - which I guess is good if shooting an “extra” frame per roll, but would love to have at least the option to start at “1” as is natural. Counter always shows “number shot” instead of the “current shot number” (which is how every camera or film back I have used works)
4) generally not intuitive interface, as I constantly find my self hunting around to set values
5) no photo preview, archive photo built in option to save with the CSV file for export
6) 1/3 and 1/2 stop shutter/aperture adjustments - would be nice to set on lenses as well as cameras
On the positive side, I like the intuitive controls to adjust camera settings to record the details. It is also a small size app (<10MB) which is great!

Great app to capture EXIF info.
It is a well designed app. However the desktop app is only on Mac.
Gets the job done; saves me time
Everything works as expected. The desktop app does NOT crash (macOS sierra). I agree some values are missing (such as 20" or f/9.5) but seeing there are no alternatives, I'm giving this 5 starts anyway. I wish I got this before I shot my 25 rolls of film over the last year writing the exposure parameters into a notepad

Great app with some caveats
Beware that this app has little/no support - that said it's the o lot of its kind and works pretty well. It's not optimized for newer screens, and getting it to recognize pictures on Mac is a little tricky. Developers site is accessible but only if you google the app, the link here is broken. There's definitely a learning curve but stick with it for a roll or two and it'll be worth it.
