I did t know it was not a one time purchase ### 4/5 — 不推 *2026-07-13, version 6.3.5* RAW不支持，操作介面不友好 長曝效果不優 ， ### 5/5 — Kesinlikle indirin, çok güzel *2026-04-16, version 6.3.5* Yıllardır kullanıyorum ve herkese öneriyorum. 3,8 mb uygulama boyutu yer de kaplamaz. İnstagram sayfamda bu uygulama ile ne zaman çekip paylaşsam beğeni geliyor. ### 5/5 — Great Long Exposure Cam App *2026-04-13, version 6.3.5* I’ve been using this app for several years now and I use it to capture long exposures of waterfalls and creeks and fountains at about the 1 second timing setting. I like the results I get. ### 5/5 — Creative tool *2026-04-12, version 6.3.5* I use the Slow Shutter Cam app mainly for ICM (intentional camera movement) photos, occasionally incorporating multiple exposures. I don’t 100% understand the app, but this actually works for me because playing with it to see what works just adds to the creative fun. ### 4/5 — This is the one you're looking for *2026-04-07, version 6.3.4* Simple, clear, easy, results. Forget the others with their fluff - this gets straight to it. On the home screen, and used often. All the others get 2 stars or less from me, this is the one you're looking for. ### 5/5 — 😃👍🏼 *2026-04-06, version 6.3.4* Fantastic app! I use it a lot for ICM photography. I don’t use it for long exposure photos since I don’t have a tripod or want to use one. But I got the developer’s other app, Light Stack Camera which allows for hand holding long exposures without the need for a tripod. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-05, version 6.3.4* Great app, you can get quality results very easy. Keep updating features 👌 ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-04-05, version 6.3.4* Takes really nice pictures and love the long exposure feature!!! Well worth it! ### 5/5 — Andrew *2026-03-26, version 6.3.3* This app is great ### 5/5 — Love this App! *2026-03-23, version 6.3.3* Superb app just needs some practice to understand it. Your screenshot explanations from developer website are very helpful. Can you look into adding a feature inside your app that allows editing from photo library images, like several other camera apps? This would really take my * to a 10!! ### 5/5 — 良い *2026-02-02* 不具合があってもサポートがしっかり対応してくれる **Developer response:** ご不便をおかけしています。support@cogitap.com までご連絡ください。対応させていただきます。 ### 4/5 — doesn’t work *2026-01-26, version 6.2* Edit: RESTART PHONE! Fixed blackscreen used this app years ago and worked great! used it for fire pit embers light trails, fireworks, light painting, but now I can’t get it to do the same quality… need to test more but complicated, changing from 3* to 4* tried it last night and nothing shows up on camera, only black. also deleted app and reinstalled, still doesn’t work, restarted phone and it works, doesn’t work for light painting that well however ### 3/5 — Bonne utilisation *2026-01-23* Existe t’il un mode opératoire pour utiliser cette appli au mieux ? Merci **Developer response:** Un guide d’utilisation est disponible dans les réglages de l’application.

Я очень рад, что вам понравилось приложение, и благодарю вас за поддержку. ### 5/5 — Well worth $2.99! *2026-01-07, version 6.2* Okay, I’ve not been this excited over an app in a long time. It works perfectly & zooming in on the image, I see no noise. I imagine the resolution is probably not great at slower shutter settings, but this is a one time $2.99 app! Love it, thank you!! I’ll be looking for other apps by you! ### 3/5 — doesn’t work *2025-12-21, version 6.2* usedthis app a month ago and worked great! tried it last night and nothing shows up on camera, only black. also deleted app and reinstalled, still doesn’t work, restarted phone and it works, doesn’t work for light painting that well however ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No good *2026-02-28, version 6.3.2* Doesn’t really work poor quality ### 1/5 — Lacking important features *2026-01-05, version 6.2* Can’t use existing photos from your gallery! ### 1/5 — 拍出來的效果比原生相機糟糕 *2025-10-10, version 6.1.1* 拍出來每一張都糊的 ### 1/5 — Slow shutter get RAW support *2025-09-14, version 6.0.4* When raw support will be available?? ### 1/5 — Völliger Schwachsinn *2025-09-05* Die App ist unbrauchbar. Hatte vorher ein Sony Handy da konnte man die Belichtung bis 30s einstellen. Super Fotos z.b lichtstreifen von vorbei fahrenden Autos oder Sterne am Himmel. Leider geht das mit dieser App nicht, vielleicht liegt es auch am iPhone. Schade um das Geld **Developer response:** Die meisten Nutzer schätzen die App, daher lade ich Sie ein, uns unter support@cogitap.com zu kontaktieren – wir helfen Ihnen gerne dabei, die Ergebnisse zu erzielen, die Sie erwarten. ### 1/5 — Lame *2025-07-25, version 6.0.4* Does not achieve an authentic long exposure effect. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2025-06-25, version 6.0.1* App stopped working entirely. ### 1/5 — Green Tint in photo *2025-06-01, version 5.9.4* Not very useful I thought I have wasted my money after buying this app I always got green images in night photography Fix this issue ### 1/5 — Versão em português para o aplicativo *2025-05-28* Ridículo, não haver o aplicativo em português é inaceitável **Developer response:** Olá. Para sua informação, a App Store lista todos os idiomas compatíveis na seção Informações da página do app. Sinta-se à vontade para entrar em contato conosco pelo e-mail support@cogitap.com para solicitar um reembolso. ### 1/5 — Wrong App tried to delete but couldn’t Connection Problem *2025-04-06, version 5.9.2* Not this App - Correct App for this review is Depstech. I’ve had this device several years - it has often been unable to connect to the server, and today it just won’t at all. The device was not cheap and I expected it to work consistently. Very disappointed. If I could return it I definitely would do so. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this app *2026-07-24, version 6.3.5* I can’t say enough good things about this app. It’s a life saver when I come across a waterfall or when the night sky is calling. It’s easy to use, has a lot of options and turns iPhone photos into magic. ### 5/5 — Brought back my passion for film photography ❤️ *2026-07-13, version 6.3.5* Look, I did the photography thing. Manual camera. Developed my film. Etc, etc. Back then, there were no digital SLR’s. In fact, digital cameras were just point and shoot devices, a novel new thing to hook up to your powermac G4. Sure there was photoshop but digital art was still generally viewed warily by the art community at large. With manual cameras, you gotta painstakingly adjust every single thing, from the camera itself, to your own physical position, and take things you can’t control into consideration; ambient lighting, ugly backround objects, etc. In the end you can’t just edit the photo and erase this or that. My point? I CAN NOW USE MY PHONE AND TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS AT NIGHT UTILIZING THE SAME SKILLS AS I DID WITH A MANUAL CAMERA. AND THEY ARE AMAZING. Thank you slow shutter devs. You have truly made an impact on my life. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-07-12, version 6.3.5* Awesome ### 5/5 — What’s not to love? *2026-06-21, version 6.3.5* I think I take more pictures with this app than any other and simply love the results! ### 5/5 — Hopefully ISO value remain the same, good APP! *2026-06-20, version 6.3.5* Whenever change the focal length , ISO would return to AUTO, which bothers me all the time. ### 5/5 — ICM *2026-06-12, version 6.3.5* Best app hands down for ICM & abstract images! ### 5/5 — The single best photo app *2026-06-02, version 6.3.5* I am an android guy. I love my Samsung. I BOUGHT AN IPHONE ONLY FOR THIS APP ### 5/5 — Great light trail options- *2026-05-21, version 6.3.5* This app is great for capturing light trails. I use the app in “bulb” mode. There are many options that allow for shots in all types of light- ### 5/5 — Great for waterfalls *2026-05-19, version 6.3.5* Simple to use, tons of features, can’t beat for this price!! ### 5/5 — Project Indigo *2026-04-22, version 6.3.5* Great app however would be better if it could be use with Pi camera app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
