### 5/5 — Prima

*2026-05-14, version 9.12*

Ich empfehle, den optimalen, persönlich akzeptablen CoC zu justieren: Zollstock in ein paar Meter Entfernung bei offener Blende fotografieren, bei 100% Ansicht den DOF ablesen, dann in der App den CoC so einstellen, dass die App etwa die gleiche DOF berechnet, die man im Bild gesehen hat. Das passt dann auch für alle anderen Wertekombinationen.

### 5/5 — Simple et efficace

*2026-04-15, version 9.7*

J’adore cette application et je l’utilise régulièrement pour la photographie. 

On peut pré sélectionner jusqu’à 4 boîtiers photo, c’est super.

Elle est simple, visuelle et agréable à utiliser. Bravo au développeur.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2026-02-14, version 8.20*

Works well.  Easy to use

### 5/5 — Does what you need it to

*2025-09-27, version 8.2*

Simple and effective

### 5/5 — Super gut und aktuell

*2025-09-04, version 7.3*

Die Lumix LX 7 ist nun auch drin.
Vielen Dank!

### 4/5 — Irritating premium upgrade request

*2025-08-15, version 7.0*

This app was very good except it is now frequently requesting an upgrade to a very expensive premium upgrade. Even after saying I don’t want the free 3-day trial of the premium upgrade, it keeps asking. Please fix this asap.

### 4/5 — No Canon R series support

*2025-04-27, version 6.2*

No Canon R series like R, RP, R7, R8, … supported. Please add

### 1/5 — Canon R5 Mark II

*2024-11-30, version 6.2*

The app is not up-to-date for Canon R5 Mark II cameras. Do not buy if that is what you’re looking for at this time.

### 1/5 — I would love

*2024-11-27, version 6.2*

I would love for them to add the Sony a6700 ! I have the app but it’s missing would make it raise otherwise

### 5/5 — Zf?

*2024-01-29, version 5.0*

Zf?
