User reviews

great app

love it but is there a way to have an alarm go off or something when the timers are done?

Response from developer

Firstly thank you so much for your kind feedback! To answer your question: yes absolutely. All you need to do is make sure your iPhone is not in silent mode and it not only gives you a warning dong a few seconds before the end but a bell at the end of each step of the development. Thank you again.

Best Color dev app!

Never write reviews, developed my first color roll and used this app. So happy with the results, the negatives came out perfect. Im sure there are other apps out there that sort temp etc but ive not tried them, but this one works perfect so it’ll do!

Great stuff!

Did a roll with this the other night. Nothing fancy setup wise. Negs came out really clean so yeah, happy with it.

Digital timer for an analog process

Easy to use, looks great and love the warnings it gives based on chemistry exhaustion + history.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your kind review, I’m glad it’s helping you with your development at home!

Promising!

Can’t wait to try this. Is it possible to add different film sizes? 4x5? 120?

Thanks!

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to try this app. In short: absolutely! 120 is already possible but 4x5 is something I’m currently looking into…
