### 1/5 — Terrible!!!!! An over priced!!!!!!!

*2012-06-10*

It is a terrible app. It does not let you make your own silohouettes!!!!  Terrible and awful!!!!!!!

**Developer response:** This App contains eight sections of training material. It is not an application that you can create silhouettes with. No where in the application description do we say this. Many of our users have learned invaluable tips and techniques for capturing properly exposed silhouettes while taking underwater images.

### 5/5 — Very useful app.

*2011-12-17*

Great app to load and take into the field. Images are very good and the instruction is exceptional. Will look for other apps by this group to use while on my next trip! A must have for any level of photographer.

### 2/5 — Hmmmm

*2011-12-17*

I was hoping for a lot more than just a sideshow or that price. Some useful information but nothing you couldn't get from reading on the Internet. What would be really useful would be some interactive "games" where you get to choose the settings on the camera (iso shutter speed and apature) and the image on screen shows the result. Users could be graded on the image they produce. That would give you a good understanding of the effect of each setting and what is appropriate for certain conditions

### 5/5 — Fantastic app for beginning underwater photography

*2011-12-15*

Great App for photography.  The pictures are beautiful.  The guided instruction is filled with many helpful tips on how to hone your own skills to produce similar images.

### 5/5 — Beautiful App

*2011-12-15*

And educational too!

### 5/5 — Easy to follow great info.

*2011-12-15*

This app is a terrific guide for newbies to under water photography.  The narration is clear and easy to follow. The information will help bring my technical skills to the next level.  Ready to go shoot!!

### 5/5 — Great narration,high quality pictures

*2011-12-15*

Exceptional app, concise, easy to understand. Interactive light meter settings demonstrated appropriate meter setting. Images greatly illustrated topics being discussed. As a beginner in underwater photography, all my questions regarding silhouettes were answered with this tutorial. Am anxious to get into the water to practice these techniques!
