### 1/5 — No micro four thirds crop factor

*2022-02-19*

Needs a 2x crop sensor factor!!

### 4/5 — Where is the 1/2 size sensor choice?

*2020-08-05*

Many people have MFT cameras. Our calculation needs a 1:2 ratio choice. In an update, could you please add that? Other than this issue for us MFT users, it’s a great fast and simple app.

### 1/5 — Lack of information

*2019-11-05*

Whilst the interface is simple it lacks usable information.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2014-08-28*

I really like this app. Lots of great information with a very useful interface. I would hope that a future version would allow turning off military time though. I prefer a 12 hour o'clock rather than a 24 hour o'clock.

### 5/5 — Super simple, awesome app for getting great shots

*2013-04-27*

Love this app! A must have for landscape photographers.
