It no longer works

It was a nice app while it was working. Took some nice photos for years. It is now totally useless. Too bad.

No longer working in 2026

This app appears to have been abandoned by the developers.

Doesn’t work

Error message after each capture

Unglaublich kreative Möglichkeiten

Ich liebe diese App mit ihren kreativen Möglichkeiten der Langzeitbelichtung. 9 Sekunden Aufnahmen sind möglich. Es ist auch möglich, während der Aufnahme die Belichtung zu ändern. Weiterhin ist es wirklich sehr kreativ, die Light Trail Funktion zu aktivieren oder zu deaktivieren. Ich habe auf jeden Fall fantastische Kunstwerke mit dieser Foto App erstellen können.

Allerdings läuft die App im Moment auf einen Fehler (3302) und ich hoffe, dass dieser Fehler vom Entwickler Team beseitigt wird

Can’t use error every time

The operation couldn’t be completed. (PHPhotosErrorDomain error 3302.) error everytime. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and made sure it had all permissions. Unusable to take any photos

Error 3302 and support doesn’t respond

No response from support. App stops working after you pay for it

Error code 3302

App is currently unusable with an iPhone 17PM. Every time I try to use it I get an error code message. Please fix asap as it was a useful app to have in my arsenal

Crashes

watch out

if you’re anywhere with a poor or no connection & purchased long exposures, you won’t have access to them. it’s really frustrating, since you aren’t always in a perfect signal location to be shooting. additionally contacting for support can be tough since the in app flow crashes 100% of the time, so you’ll have to find their contact through other means

Keeps crashing

Every time I try and take a picture the entire app crashes

Sounded good, but disappointed once installed

I have tried a few cameras over the years trying to make my iPhone be a decent substitute for my Nikon DSLR, so I gave Spectre a try. (I did not pay for the Pro feature(s) which may help, but I was severely underwhelmed! In its base form it appears it does not offer any features that the included camera does not. The only thing I saw that was slightly interesting is the included "AI", on a long shutter, slowly begins to make moving objects in the field of view disappear, but since (without paying) it will only give a 3 second exposure, the objects just become blurred blobs if color.
I tried to set the shutter time up to 5 seconds, but this just pops their ad wanting you to buy the Pro version.
Overall there is nothing "wrong" with Spectre, but it doesn't offer anything more than the built-in camera and actually has less options.
I'm sorry but I'll just have to pass and continue my search for the perfect camera app.

Love it

Great so that I use for slow shutter emulations. It really does a great job.

Requires internet

For no reason, this app requires internet to use, even after paying. Makes this app useless for a lot of cases.

Raw support?

Love the app. I wanted to know if the paid version supports Raw or PNG so I can upgrade

Very limited

Free app only allows 3 sec exposure, same as my iPhone. Longer exposures require monthly subscription.

This is so good I haven’t yet

You know I just like it a lot a lot a lot a lot some pies and again it just the hide you know I didn’t download this yet. I don’t have it on my iPhone and I do over exact.

Does not work out of cell coverage

Although this app charges for full access, you cannot use the features you have paid for if you are outside of cellphone coverage.

Last update has broken mode switch

Works exactly as it always did as long as you don’t rotate the phone to change from portrait to landscape (or vice versa if originally opened in landscape. Instead end up with a squashed square “window”, that then stays when rotating the phone. Need to close app to get working again.
Using iPhone 16 pro on iOS 18.7
5 star app but only 4 due to this issue.
