At the moment all I have is a long exposure app. A lot for £34.99. ### 2/5 — Bundle doesn’t open *2026-03-07* I purchased the Reeflex bundle but only two the apps open after going thru the first few swipe’s. When I tap restore purchases the message says something went wrong, try again later. I’ve contacted your support dept and your instructions don’t work. Reeheld & Reexpose work the other apps in the bundle won’t allow me access. Restore purchases doesn’t work. Please make this work or I’ll have to request a refund. Thanks ### 2/5 — Format *2025-11-29* I had to cancel as there is no option for 16x9. ### 1/5 — Payment app *2025-10-09* Payment app ### 1/5 — Result of ReeHeld test shots *2025-10-07* The app simply doesn’t work ### 2/5 — Funktioniert nicht mit ios26 *2025-09-21* Leider stützt die App auf dem iPhone 17 Pro immer gleich nach dem Start ab. So kann man Nix damit anfangen **Developer response:** Hi there! The issue with the app crashing at the app launch on iPhone 17 got resolved with our latest 1.5.1 update. Please update to the latest version and you'll see everything's back to normal :) For further questions, please reach out to: support@reeflexstore.com Best, REEFLEX team ### 1/5 — Really Bad *2025-09-15, version 1.5* I have absolutely no way to zoom in when composing my shot. Using the phone for post production the image gets so gritty. Horrible app for getting good composition. ### 1/5 — Nicht zu gebrauchen *2025-08-24* Ein Langzeit Aufnahme ohne Stativ ist nicht machbar. Dann kann ich mit dslr und stativ weiter fotografieren. Wieder gelöscht. **Developer response:** Danke für dein Feedback. ReeHeld wurde speziell entwickelt, um Langzeitbelichtungen ohne Stativ zu ermöglichen — dank KI-gestützter Stabilisierung. Für Aufnahmen mit Stativ und voller manueller Kontrolle empfehlen wir unsere App ReeXpose. Wir hoffen, du gibst ihr eine Chance! ### 2/5 — Artefakte *2025-08-22* Ich hatte gehofft, hier eine alltagstaugliche schnelle App für Langzeitbelichtungen zu finden. Was ReeHeld gut schafft, ist die unbewegten Teile des Bildes festzuhalten. Doch leider sind ansonsten in den Bildern Artefakte zu sehen (ich verwende ein iPhone 15 Pro). Rechts und links von den oberen Ecken in Richtung Mitte sind im Himmel immer Streifen zu sehen, je nach Lichtsituation mehr oder weniger. Man sieht auch, wenn die Langzeitbelichtung startet, dass das während des Bildaufbaus entsteht. Jedenfalls sehen die Fotos dadurch unansehnlich aus. ### 3/5 — Ist ok, aber noch Luft nach oben *2025-08-16* So richtig begeistert bin ich noch nicht, viele Fotos bekomme ich auch mit der originalen Kamera des iPhones hin. Was mir fehlt? 1. ich kann das Format nicht wechseln 16:9 is mir lieber. 2. wäre es toll, könnte man die Fotos in Raw aufnehmen. Das iPhone 16 Pro Max kann Fotos mit 48 mp aufnehmen und hier bekomme ich nur 12 mp. Wäre toll wenn diese Dinge bei den nächsten updates dabei sind. ### 1/5 — Paywalled *2025-07-31* App asks for your email before launching and then tries charging $49.99 or $2.08/month before you can use it. Waste of a download if you don’t plan on spending $50. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We understand your concerns. ReeHeld offers a free trial with limited features so users can experience the app before committing. The app does request an email to set up your trial and manage your account. We’re a small team putting a lot of care and development into our tools, which is why we offer paid plans to support ongoing improvements. We truly appreciate your interest and hope you’ll give the trial a try before making a final decision! ### 4/5 — Gut funktionierende App… *2025-07-01* Wenn man eine MILC für anspruchsvolle Bilder hat und deswegen bei Verwendung eines Stativs lieber gleich auf diese wechselt, liefert ReeHeld schnell wenigstens bildschirmgeeignete Ergebnisse. Aber zwei Funktionen würden sie für mich entscheidend verbessern: Unterstützung von HEIF zusätzlich zu JPEG, und Unterstützung des Fjorden Grip, den ich sonst verwende. **Developer response:** Danke für dein ausführliches Feedback! Wir schätzen deine Anregungen sehr – HEIF-Export und Fjorden Grip-Support sind großartige Ideen, die wir in zukünftigen Updates prüfen werden. ### 3/5 — i cant give permission to my camera and image *2025-05-22, version 1.4.2* theres no button for me to give permission, even in the settings section, i hope dev could fix soon ### 4/5 — Really great app but … *2025-04-28* Really great app … impressive!! … too bad that we can’t choose the size of the picture (4:3, 16:9 etc) … would be a great bonus if you add it **Developer response:** Thank you for the great feedback — we’re thrilled you’re enjoying the app! 🙌 You’re absolutely right: aspect ratio options would be a fantastic addition. For now, the 4:3 format ensures you get the full sensor image, giving you maximum flexibility to crop in post-production. That said, we’re actively exploring built-in aspect ratio settings for a future update. Stay tuned, and thanks for helping us improve! ### 1/5 — Reeheld *2025-03-21* Bundle gekauft. Funktioniert nicht; zweites Programm wird nicht freigeschaltet… **Developer response:** Es tut uns leid, dass du Probleme mit dem Bundle hattest! Bitte sende uns eine E-Mail an support@reeflexstore.com, damit wir dir schnell weiterhelfen und die Freischaltung überprüfen können. Vielen Dank für deine Geduld! ### 3/5 — Raw files do not save *2025-03-19* I just returned home from using this app all afternoon to find that the photos did not save. Very disappointing…I looked at the FAQs after-the-fact and it is a known issue for raw files, I know now. This app would be terrific if only I could see what I shot today…hoping for an update soon. **Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback! To clarify, ReeHeld is designed as a handheld, point-and-shoot app for quick long exposure captures (up to 30 seconds) without a tripod. For full Bayer RAW capture and longer exposures with tripod support, we recommend checking out our ReeXpose app, which is built specifically for professional-grade long exposure workflows. We’re always working to improve, and your input helps us get there! 🙏 REEFLEX team support@reeflexstore.com ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Keinerlei Info vor Installation bzgl Kosten *2026-05-30* Toller Werbetext im Store. Leider aber war wohl kein Platz mehr für den Hinweis, daß die App schlappe 30 Euro kostet. Dies erfährt man erst, nachdem die App installiert und gestartet wurde. So sollte man mMn NICHT mit potentiellen Nutzern umgehen! ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-03-11, version 1.5.1* They force you to sign up for a subscription to even try it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work well on iPhone 16pro max *2026-01-28, version 1.5.1* Can’t find a way to exit the gallery back to take a photo once I look at the photo that I took and the photo qualities is fairly poor ### 1/5 — Disappointed ! *2026-01-27, version 1.5.1* In the high-stakes world of iOS development, a massive company might operate through a 'profit-only' lens and skip charitable outreach. However, the real danger for such an iOS giant isn't a lack of philanthropy; it's short-termism. By ignoring the community to squeeze out every dollar today, they risk destroying the very ecosystem they rely on for tomorrow. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-01-23* Long exposure doesn’t work. Worse than normal iPhone camera in low light conditions. ### 1/5 — Only paid subscription *2026-01-08, version 1.5.1* Apple needs to put these apps in a different category. ### 1/5 — Need to create an account *2026-01-07* Why the need to create an account to use a camera app?? Deleted! ### 1/5 — Not good *2025-11-13, version 1.5.1* Literally doesn’t even work. Don’t recommend. ### 1/5 — iPhone XR *2025-11-08, version 1.5.1* Crashes when taking photo on XR ### 1/5 — Very bad *2025-10-15* Very slow and camera quality is the worst on iphone 15 pro max ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Get App *2026-01-22, version 1.5.1* This is a great App I’ve purchased all @reeflex Apps and use them for all my photography on my smartphone. ### 5/5 — Simple *2025-09-25* This app is so simple to use and gives great results. Addicted! **Developer response:** Thanks so much! We love hearing that you’re enjoying the app. Simple, fast, and creative — that’s exactly what we were aiming for! 🚀 ### 5/5 — Sharon *2025-05-30* Love!!!! Taking pictures on the fly just got better. I shoot most days with my phone and this app has widen what I do. Very creative and fun!!!!!! **Developer response:** Thank you so much, Sharon! We’re thrilled to hear ReeHeld is helping you stay creative and capture more on the go. Your support means the world to us — happy shooting! 🙌📸 ### 5/5 — Simple *2025-01-24, version 1.4.1* This app is so simple to use and gives great results. Addicted! ### 5/5 — Must have for any traveler *2025-01-23* For beginners or professionals For the random tourist. A must have to get pictures in tourist areas. The long exposure gets rid of all moving objects. People and cars are removed. It’s like you were there with no one else. I am very pleased. **Developer response:** Wow — thank you so much! We’re thrilled to hear how useful the app has been for your travels. That’s exactly what ReeHeld was built for — removing distractions and letting the beauty of the moment shine through. 🌍✨ ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2024-11-02* What an amazing app, gone are the days of nd filters on my camera as this app gives the same result without even needing a tripod. People are asking on social media what camera and nd’s I’ve used, the qualities that good. A massive thanks to the developers for this blinding bit of tech. **Developer response:** Hi Sibur65! Thanks for taking the time and sharing your feedback! In case you'd ever need support or have any idea/feedbacks for improvements, feel free to reach out to us via email, at: support@reeflexstore.com Enjoy shooting! REEFLEX team ### 5/5 — Not as good as people are claiming *2024-09-24* My experience was really poor. Especially with 30 sec shots. Initially the frame looks sharp but after 15 odd seconds the stationary objects start to get hazy. This is particularly happening when shooting clouds. I’m keeping the phone pretty stable. It seems it’s difficult to get a good long exposure shot without a tripod. **Developer response:** Dear sobkb, Thank you for your feedback. While long-exposure photography can be challenging, especially when handheld, ReeHeld is designed to capture stunning shots even without a tripod. When shooting dynamic elements like clouds over long durations, some blur is natural due to movement. For best results, ensure that you're shooting in optimal conditions and holding the phone as steady as possible.

Best regards, REEFLEX Team ### 5/5 — Richtig gute App *2024-09-21* Ich bin ein absoluter fotografischer Laie und bin von der App total begeistert… solche photos habe ich vorher nicht hin bekommen! **Developer response:** Vielen Dank! REEFLEX team hello@reeflexstore.com ### 5/5 — Superb App *2024-08-02* Wow! an incredible piece of iPhone software. I found it very easy to use and produced excellent results very quickly. I can recommend this app wholeheartedly. However, I am not too sure what apps you get in the bundle as I could only open ReeHeld. **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your experience with us! 💚 Feel free to reach out to us via email if you’d ever need supper or have any idea/feedbacks to share, at: support@reeflexstore.com Enjoy shooting! REEFLEX team ### 5/5 — So much fun to use *2024-06-24* Wonderful app. I hate carrying a tripod let alone having to set one up. What a joy to now have a quick and easy app that I can even use midday and not need ND filters. I took some surprisingly good images today that I would never have tried with the big camera. **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time and sharing your experience with us! 💚 Feel free to reach out to us via email if you’d ever need supper or have any idea/feedbacks to share, at: support@reeflexstore.com Enjoy shooting!
