User reviews

Time consuming

Time cunsuming not worth it. Make something people can just edit with one hand.fast drag and drop move around with one finger.

Perfect app for simple lighting diagrams

It is very good for planning and recording lighting setups.

Love the scaling feature for all equipments and subjects

Very useful

I used it a couple of times.
It’s very useful.

Really useful but could use some improvements

Mostly it just needs a way to favorite/save pre-existing set ups. It also needs a way to identify what each object in the diagram is when you discover one so you know what to use even when the creator won’t describe it (frequent). Otherwise REALLY useful especially for photographers just beginning to learn sty the tic lighting

Meh

Like most of the apps out there this one is designed to sell ads. Any benefit it provides to a photographer is coincidental.
