### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-12-05*

The UI is mint! Excellent app

### 5/5 — 好评

*2025-11-25*

软件做的很用心，也很容易上手，功能也比较顺手，且不臃肿，希望越做越好

### 5/5 — Impressive Cam！

*2025-11-24*

The entire app experience is incredibly smooth, and it is so much fun using the app!Everything from the shooting interface to the editing workflow can be fully customized—shooting modes, focal lengths, aperture, and more. The post-processing filters are exactly my style, and I love that I can create my own presets and even import LUTs. Besides, you can also add watermarks, along with many other thoughtful features. Overall, the experience is perfect. This is a must-have app for anyone who loves photography!

### 5/5 — 超好用的拍照软件📷

*2025-10-29*

很好用，里面很多功能都特别细节，拍照可以调节的色调色彩都很舒服，超多人性化设计，自己编辑照片也特别方便，而且没付费也可以试用所有的功能，体验感真的很好。
开发者活人感很强，在小红书上发图片还会很细致的解答，强烈推荐下来试一下，绝对会喜欢的！

### 5/5 — 强烈推荐

*2025-08-12*

目前用过的最好用的相机app，去锐化很好，胶卷模拟效果也不错，调整参数专业且方便

### 5/5 — 能否添加这样一个功能

*2025-06-07*

我比较喜欢使用边框功能，但有时候又需要不添加边框的照片，能否支持拍照的同时保留两份照片，一份有边框，一份无边框。

**Developer response:** 你好。其实现在就有类似的功能，你可以到设置-拍照处理-进阶设置，开启「加了效果的照片会作为已编辑版本保存」，这样你可以一直开启边框来拍照；如果部分照片不想要边框了，那么可以随时到系统照片 app 编辑里复原，或者使用 PhotonCam 编辑，并加载「原始版本」来重新保存就没边框了。

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-05-25*

The UI is mint! Excellent app

### 5/5 — 锐化星人获救

*2025-05-08*

专门下载来拍无锐化的live photo，终于得救了，五星好评。就是在无解锁情况下，锁屏界面直接通过快捷键调用打开时拍摄的照片，如果没有等够时间就退出app，可能会没有保存到相册里去

**Developer response:** 谢谢你的反馈。目前不解锁启动的话，由于系统本身的设计是启动一个类似轻量的 app，离开此 app 后就会被系统杀掉，所以目前会有此限制。因此在不解锁启动时，拍照后会有个「不要离开 app」的提示，等该提示消失后，就能退出 app 了。

### 5/5 — Good hdr support

*2025-03-27, version 1.21.2*

One of the few app that do HDR photo seriously.

### 5/5 — 真正的小而美

*2025-03-14*

开发者非常负责 所有问题都会亲自回复 最重要的是真的非常好用

**Developer response:** 谢谢你的支持！PhotonCam 会越做越好。

### 5/5 — 不断进步的App给用户付费动力

*2025-03-13*

‪    虽然我之前都用系统相机拍照，但还是成为付费用户，主要开发者真诚得学习和Photocam的不断更新，让我充满期待。
    这种订阅制会给用户带来值得感，让人相信App的使用体验和功能是会不断进步的。有好多开发者只是订阅收费，但更新也基本停滞了……如果有更多的开发者愿意投入精力优化App，订阅制会逐渐成为用户和开发者的双赢模式‬

**Developer response:** 谢谢你的支持！

### 5/5 — 资瓷

*2025-02-17, version 1.19.0*

强烈安利

### 5/5 — 很棒

*2025-01-23*

特别好用的一款相机 App，不仅是里面的各种功能还是软件整体的稳定性都是很不错的，且开发者更新积极用户用起来也很有动力，希望开发者越做越好

*2026-07-09, version 1.39.0*

👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

### 1/5 — 拍完之后老是丢照片

*2026-06-05*

回去之后才发现没保存上，拉完了

**Developer response:** 你好，拍摄和保存高质量照片是需要时间的，请至少等到右下角的相册动画结束后才离开 app。毕竟所有第三方相机都不可能跟系统相机一样快。

### 1/5 — You can't even take a picture without paying.

*2025-09-30*

You can't even take a picture without paying.

**Developer response:** THIS IS NOT TRUE: even in the trial mode without any subscriptions, you can use all the features, including the basic photo taking. There will be a watermark when saving HEIF or JPEG. And if you choose to capture and save DNG only, no watermark will even be attached, and you can also enjoy all the manual adjustments. 

PLEASE RESPECT EVERY DEVELOPER’S WORK. IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, JUST DELETE THIS APP. THIS APP DOESN’T EVEN REQUIRE YOU TO HAVE AN ACTIVE SUBSCRIPTION TO GET ACCESS TO THE APP.

### 4/5 — 颜色变

*2026-05-16*

拍照时放大到五倍，滤镜颜色会变，是怎么回事呢？

**Developer response:** 你好，目前猜测长焦镜头跟主摄镜头因为镜头素质不一样，实际自动采用的曝光参数不一样导致的。当然，最有效的反馈方式是通过 app 的邮件反馈，还请通过邮件反馈的方式来说明情况吧（里面也会自带拍照参数，请不要删除）。

### 4/5 — 软件可不可以滑动切换滤镜啊？

*2026-04-05*

会员已支持，软件功能很强大，建议优化滤镜切换功能，每次换个滤镜还要去下面一个一个点，有些不必要的麻烦，请开发者优化下，谢谢。

**Developer response:** 你好，目前就已经支持滑动滤镜入口来切换。更多教程可以查看 app 内的设置。

### 4/5 — Almost perfect…

*2026-03-16*

This is one of my favorite photo editing apps… and I’ve tried them all. Depth effect, HDR, Filters and Grain are amazing. The only thing missing for me is a mist effect like Prequel or Tezza has. Once it has this, I don’t think I’ll ever use another editing app. Easily worth the lifetime subscription as is, but once they add the mist effect this is THE app to own.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2025-12-14, version 1.29.3*

I highly recommend this app for capturing natural photos (not over processed). 

What I really like about this app is that it can de-sharpen the pro raw photos taken by the native iphone camera app and can also delete them to save space. It also does non-destructive editing like the native photo editor does, very nice. 

I just wish that the photocam app has a 3 to 10 seconds delay timer (with option to have the rear led flash turn on and off as a visual cue like the native iphone app would be nice) and also a Fuji Classic chrome filter. Maybe the developer could add these features and this app will be awesome!

### 4/5 — 如何自由切换焦段？

*2024-06-06*

不知道是我没找到还是确实没这功能，只能用默认的 0.5   1  1.2  1.5  2  3，这几个焦段，想再手动更改好像不可以

**Developer response:** 感谢你的反馈，目前没有自由变焦的功能，目前 0.5×, 1× 和 3× 都是基于物理镜头的焦段，而 1.2×, 1.5× 和 2× 是跟 iPhone 15 Pro 系列一样利用 48MP 进行裁剪。目前不做自由变焦（特别是跟系统相机一样从 0.5 变到最高 ）是因为想避免系统相机一样会可能用主摄像来裁剪输出长焦的问题。

### 5/5 — Full of features, excellent value

*2026-06-29*

I'm surprised this app has so few reviews—it's hands down one of the best camera apps I've tried since upgrading to 17 Pro. Tons of features for pros but doesn't overwhelm you if you're new to photography. There's a subscription but it's a fraction of what a lot of the top camera apps are charging.

### 5/5 — I’ve tried em all

*2026-06-27*

I think I’ve tried just about every app that lets you shoot with LUTs/presets and this is by far my favorite. The ability to shoot with AND edit with the same presets later (or with photos not even taken in Photon) is so great. It’s all subjective, but this is the right combo of features, UI, and editing tools for me.

## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — love it

*2026-06-21*

make me start liking taking pictures on phone

### 5/5 — I love it and I bet you will too!

*2026-05-27, version 1.36.2*

super useful features, easy to use/navigate, and very appealing design. It is still very useable if you do not want to pay to unlock the full version. It only took me 1 day of testing to realise I need this app in my life and since I found the price to be fair I purchased it right away. That was many months ago and I can confirm that I am still so happy with my purchase and still have no regrets!
I always look for any excuse to pull my phone out to use this app. I just think it's SO cool.

### 5/5 — 笔芯♥️

*2026-03-31*

导入自己的个性Lut还能自定义不同lut颜色标签细节感十足

### 5/5 — 批量导出RAW文件

*2026-03-29*

建议增加批量多选导出RAW选项，现版本（V1.33.4）只能单张导出

**Developer response:** 感谢你的反馈，目前做不了自动微距功能是因为不像系统相机一样采用的多摄融合的方式来预览拍照。未来可能单独出个微距模式，感谢你的支持！

### 5/5 — Thank you！

*2026-03-04*

First batch of users, seeing the update today, filled with sincerity, must come and write a good review! The price and features are completely mismatched—because it's just too powerful!

### 5/5 — A Must-Have Camera App Seriously

*2026-01-24*

5 Stars | Incredibly Practical Camera App!

This camera app has completely exceeded my expectations! As someone who frequently uses my phone for photography, it’s incredibly practical. There’s no complicated setup—just open it and start shooting—yet the image quality is impressively clear and natural, with great color accuracy.

I especially love the Pro Mode and One-Tap Enhance features. Whether I’m taking quick everyday shots or fine-tuning settings, it covers all my needs. The night mode performance is also outstanding! The interface is clean, smooth, and completely ad-free, making the experience enjoyable and distraction-free.

If you’re looking for a camera app that’s lightweight, powerful, and easy to use, I highly recommend giving this one a try. I’ve already recommended it to my friends—it truly deserves 5 stars! 📸👍

### 5/5 — 关于raw格式曝光的问题

*2026-01-05*

手机型号iPhone13，在raw档下曝光模拟不准确，容易过曝和欠曝，建议可以加入包围曝光，从后台切入app色温色调会偏洋红.
