### 5/5 — Keep it coming! This is the future

*2026-06-07, version 1.8.13*

With the release of iPhone 18 pro (variable aperture) - iPhones + content creation will really push the market. 

Please, please keep supporting this app.

### 4/5 — Somehow beautifully different

*2025-10-30, version 1.8.11*

It’s hard to put my finger on what this app does differently but it does something that brings something nice out in some scenarios. Taking the same photo on auto exposure in the native vs this app gives a slightly different result. Not sure if it’s how it picks the AE or the dynamic range but the way it exposes reminds me of when I used to shoot with a higher end camera. 
Some suggestions:
- Extended iso/exposure controls eg up to 30s shutter/3200iso
- exposure memory, shot to shot unless reset (at least as an option)
-virtual dials rather than sliders (a bit like camera+
-focus control

One of my favourite things about this app is the temporary review. 
Thanks protofo

### 5/5 — Проблема с а10

*2025-06-26*

After installing the update (C6) the flash began to work incorrectly there is no synchronization with the camera on the frames there are stripes of different exposure! Give the opportunity to download earlier versions   flash firmware, before that everything worked fine!!! Iphone15promax

### 3/5 — Pretty cool, a little cumbersome.

*2025-03-25, version 1.8.9*

Profoto- if you’re listening, could you add a light meter feature to this and/or the connect app that triggers the connected flashes and reads from the iPhone? That would be great! 

So I recently used this with my iPhone 15 Pro Max and a pair of B10’s. It’s going to be a lot of fun to continue to experiment with. But its overall usefulness might be a bit limited.  Chancing the iPhone camera settings is a bit precarious because there are no guardrails. The iPhone appears to have a sync speed, but I can’t sort out what it is. It’s just not like using a real camera. I think if I use it at all, I’ll leave it all to manual. It does a flash pre-fire, and it’s a bit of a slow process. So you’ll need a very well trained model. Pets or kids are probably out of the question here. 

Anyway, I’m still learning my way around so I won’t dog it too much. It’s fun to use your “big” lights with your phone. It makes me feel tempted to buy an A10 just to have a more portable light to play with this app more often.

### 3/5 — Promising and very cool! Needs Some Tweaks

*2025-03-22, version 1.8.9*

I picked up the Profoto A10 for my Sony A7iii with the idea of it being an added bonus that I could capture a few quick shots during weddings to AirDrop to the bride—something polished and instant for a sneak peek. The concept is solid, and I really appreciate how easy and seamless the connection is between the flash and the app. The usability overall is great.

That said, I feel like the app isn’t quite living up to its full potential. The Smart Mode needs refinement—it currently only offers three intensity sliders: super bright, a very standard “normal” that could’ve been taken with the native camera app, and then extremely dark. Some half-stop adjustments between those levels would make a huge difference in dialing in the perfect exposure.

I also wish the app offered more manual camera control. While I understand the native camera app will always have deeper integration, other third-party apps like ProCamera have shown that you can build in advanced settings like action modes or even digital aperture control. There’s definitely room to grow here.

And let’s talk about the 5x zoom—it’s overkill. I understand the choice to stick with native camera lenses over digital zoom to preserve image quality, but at 24mm 1x, distortion is a real issue unless you correct it in post. On the other hand, 5x zoom puts me so far away I feel like I need a day pass just to get the shot. A little more flexibility—or simply giving photographers the option to use digital zoom if they choose—would go a long way.

In short, it’s a strong foundation with a lot of potential, but some fine-tuning could make this app an essential tool for hybrid shooters.

### 1/5 — Не работает режим съемки

*2025-02-09*

Выпустите пожалуйста новое приложение у меня и еще у пару людей не работает режим съемки , нажимая на кнопку не происходит ничего ! И смысл этой вспышки ?!

### 3/5 — Не работает 2х объектив

*2025-02-06*

На iPhone 15Pro нет 2х зума.

### 4/5 — pics look great

*2024-12-23, version 1.8.8*

would be great if it worked with the camera control button on iphone 15/16

### 1/5 — C1  camera not working

*2024-12-18, version 1.8.8*

C1 will connect to ios 18, but no camera shows (ie no viewfinder, camera controls etc)

### 3/5 — Add more - 2x , please

*2024-11-08*

Add more - 2x , please. Because app has 0,5x ; 1x ; 3x, but don’t 2x(((
