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 ### 2/5 — Horrible curve *2025-05-14, version 1.8.9* Every picture has huge contrast, impossible to use ### 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. ### 3/5 — Gut aber nicht genug *2025-02-09, version 1.8.9* Die App funktioniert wirklich sehr gut. Das Problem ist einfach, dass sie für den professionellen Einsatz aufgrund der geringen Auflösung nur begrenzt geeignet ist. Warum kann man nur mit einer 12 MP Auflösung fotografieren? Das sollte dringend verbessert werden. ### 3/5 — Не работает 2х объектив *2025-02-06, version 1.8.9* 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 ### 3/5 — Add more - 2x , please *2024-11-08, version 1.8.8* Add more - 2x , please. Because app has 0,5x ; 1x ; 3x, but don’t 2x((( ### 2/5 — Bad exposure. *2024-10-24* I downloaded this app for an event I have coming up where you can’t bring in a DSLR so I was going to buy the profoto A2 so I could use this app and flash. after playing with the app for a while I discovered that the exposure you get does not look like what you see on the screen, which is very disappointing. It’s either over or under exposed then you try editing it and it looks like HDR not impressed. If anyone knows a workaround, please let me know. I really don’t want to spend $1000 on a flash if the app isn’t going to work like it says it is. ### 3/5 — The app works, but no 48 megapixel *2024-07-24, version 1.8.7* Currently the only option for an external smart phone flash, and it does the job. but I do hope that there are plans to at least add compatibility with shooting in 48 megapixel mode ### 3/5 — No Manual *2024-06-12, version 1.8.7* When it works it is brilliant (C1+ lights are seamless), but when it doesn’t (A10 & A2 Auto Exposure badly underexposed), it hard to figure out why. There is no basic manual or help files to describes all the icons eg “eye” and “A with circle” at bottom of screen. Fiddling with settings while still in Auto mode corrects under exposure - but how? Some features ( swipe up to increase exposure of background in contrast ) you come across by accident in the Chris Fain video. ### 4/5 — Update to iPhone 15 pro Max *2023-11-17, version 1.8.4* I wanted to know when the app for the iPhone 15 pro and 15 pro Max will be updated since the current version is not compatible with 48mp, 2x is not there and 5x does not work well (iPhone 15 pro Max), please I need those 48mp raw 🙏 . thank you so much ### 2/5 — Kinda works but nah *2023-10-26, version 1.8.4* I got this app together with the C1 and I was excited! Shooting photos with an off-camera flash sounded amazing. Looks great too! But really the camera app is clumsy to use. Especially when you compare it to all the other camera apps out there. Slow response, weird standard settings, white balance way off and no convenient way to controll it. I mean, it’s cool to have all the manual settings but this is a phone! Make it usable for the touch display where users don’t have dials and wheels and buttons. And lastly: when I want to take pictures with the C1, it triggers 3 successive flashes and at the end I get one picture. But at which flash? 1,2 or 3? This happens in manual and convenience mode. Guys, when I want to take a candid picture, it has to be snappy!!! It’s called „Profoto“ and I paid for and expect it to have PROfessional usability. ### 2/5 — impossible de connecter le prophotoconnect *2023-02-17, version 1.8.4* impossible de connecter le profoto connect pour déclencher mon A1 ### 3/5 — but:( no 48meg *2023-02-15, version 1.8.4* Great app and I have all the lights, but the sad thing is I can not use the 48 megapixel feature. This makes the whole iPhone 14 max with this light a bit undervalued. In any case I hope the guys here at Profoto will see our pain and will help to deliver the product we all so desire. ### 3/5 — Будет ли возможность менять камеру на фронтальную? *2023-01-05, version 1.8.3* Не хватает возможности изменять заднюю камеру на фронтальную. Когда смотрела обзоры на вспышку C1 на официальном сайте, то в приложение была добавлена возможность выбора портретного режима. В итоге этого нет. ### 4/5 — mejoras… *2022-11-08, version 1.8.3* Seria ideal poder disparar también el flash profoto con la app nativa del iphone. Muchísimas gracias por el esfuerzo continuo y sigan así 🤗👏👏👏👏 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Не работает режим съемки *2025-02-09, version 1.8.9* 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 ?! ### 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) ### 1/5 — Calidad lamentable de la imagen *2023-05-28, version 1.8.4* Tengo un iPhone 12 Pro Max y la calidad de la fotografía resultante tiene demasiado ruido, las letras de un cuadro en una fotografía a metro y medio de distancia no son legibles por el ruido que genera, cuando la aplicación nativa de iPhone es totalmente nítida . las fotografías con flash en su mayor parte van directamente a la papelera. Lo he desinstalado y vuelto a instalar pensando que era un problema, pero nada. Ni en automático ni en manual, problema para enfocar la piel de un gato, 30 fotos y todas a la basura, sacadas con trípode. ### 1/5 — Deceiving User Experience Due To Wrongful Rendering *2023-05-05, version 1.8.4* Hello, dear staff member(s) of Profoto who manage the backend of this app. Please, do something to make the resulting picture taken look normal. The current version of the app burns the picture to the point of un-usability. It’s worthless for the majority of users. Thank you, Alvaro ### 1/5 — Apple ProRAW を使いたい‼️(I want to use Apple ProRAW!!) *2023-01-17, version 1.8.4* (iPhone 12 Pro + C1 Plus) ProFoto RAW のオリジナルのためか、妙にゆるい RAW が出てくる。 Apple ProRAW に比べてフォーカスポイントに山がなく、レタッチしても、やはり Apple ProRAW には及ばずどころか、同様にレタッチすると差が広がるばかり。 モノブロックと連携できるが、アプリがコレでは期待はずれで残念。 Compared with Apple ProRAW, this Profoto RAW is poor focus point. I retouched this RAW. But same retouch worked Apple ProRAW is higher quality than ProFoto RAW. Cannot close to Apple ProRAW. This App connected to A1, A10X, B2 series and C1 series. So I confused this performance 😑 ### 1/5 — No 48MP support!!??? Cmon! *2022-12-29, version 1.8.3* I got this app specifically for the 48MP iphone 14. Totally disappointed to find out after purchasing a Profoto flash that 48MP is not supported . Profoto?? What’s going on? They are usually on point with the latest and greatest. ### 1/5 — So bad, so annoyed *2022-11-05, version 1.8.3* I can’t even with this. It’s a great tease to say it works with an iPhone but nah. Why can’t I get the flash on manual below 1.0 ? Why is it so buggy? Why does it keep doing weird things? Have you guys tried watching users with the app and tried to see how useless this is? I’m so frustrated ### 1/5 — A great idea, badly bugging *2022-10-07, version 1.8.2* Can’t shoot in the app without it glitching out and auto firing. It worked for about 6 frames until it decided to fire whenever it wanted to. Cannot recommend. ### 1/5 — it can't used on iPhone14pro *2022-09-26, version 1.8.2* The timing of the shutter and flash does not match. please update soon!!! ### 1/5 — Useless. *2022-04-04, version 1.8.0* Very bad compared to the Profoto Control app. It's completely useless. I want you to restore the camera function of the Profoto Control app! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Проблема с а10 *2025-06-26, version 1.8.10* 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 ### 5/5 — 自然な色 *2024-12-13, version 1.8.8* ストロボとの同期ではあまり使っていませんが、iPhoneデフォルトのカメラとは違うカメラらしい色や明暗差で写真を出してくれるので重宝しています。 ### 5/5 — Flash on the iPhone, superb. No 48mp RAW. *2024-03-05, version 1.8.6* Great App, so much fun to use a wireless flash on the iPhone. Although manual is better for consistent results and deliberate effects, the auto mode is so easy. If you know nothing about balancing lights or creating contré-jour effects just set to natural, balanced or dramatic. Push on the screen and slide up and down to make brighter or darker. One thing that should be added is 48mp MX RAW. The 10-12mp isn’t good enough. ### 5/5 — Profoto is the best! *2024-02-21, version 1.8.6* I cannot say thank you enough for keeping this app updated! You’re team is amazing for this! ### 5/5 — iPhone 15 Pro max Support *2023-11-15* Thank you for keeping this app alive! I use your products daily. From my travels around the world to the studio your app and your products are superb! ### 5/5 — It works great with my Profoto strobes but lacks the 2x (48 mm) preset on the iPhone 14 pro. *2022-11-03, version 1.8.3* Feature update request. The native camera in the iPhone 14 Pro has 4 focal length presets. Profoto camera has only 3. The 1x lens on this camera has optical zoom to 2x. I can select 1x in Profoto Camera and spread my fingers on the screen to manually zoom to 2x (48 mm full frame equivalent) but that slows down composition. It would be a big help to have the “normal 50” 2x focal length as a preset like the native camera app does. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2021-10-14, version 1.7.1* The app has been updated and now works great with iPhone 13 Pro and the C1 Plus! ### 5/5 — Очень хорошее приложение! *2021-06-17, version 1.4.0* Единственный минус то,что нет фронтальной камеры.Но и без этого приложение отличное! ### 5/5 — Best camera app! *2021-06-07, version 1.3.0* Thanks to this app, I began to take a bunch of cool shots ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
