It would be perfect if there were some improvements to make scaling and rotation much easier. ### 3/5 — On of the better ones, crashes *2011-11-16, version 1.2.2* I have it on my 4S and it crashes when you try to save your photo to camera roll. Otherwise looks good and easy to use. Would like more more items in there. ### 4/5 — Very Nice, Free, Light Diagram Tool *2010-09-28, version 0* This is a great app, especially considering its price tag (free). The UI takes a little while to get used to, but once you figure out how it works the tool becomes intuitive and powerful. It can be a little difficult to rotate and resize images on the small iPhone screen (especially if you have big fingers like me) but its doable. An iPad version of this app that takes advantage of the iPad's larger screen real estate would be incredible and I'm really hoping that Sylights is considering it. In terms of enhancements, it would be great to be able to attach (or link) a corresponding photo to the light diagrams directly from each diagram (perhaps from the properties dialogue) and it would also be great to be able to upload diagrams directly to their site directly from the app (as opposed to exporting the image and then having to upload it manually). Those enhancements, coupled with the addition of a few more light modifiers to choose from for each diagram, would make this a killer app for strobist photographers. ### 4/5 — Sylights *2010-09-01, version 0* Wonderful tool that does things the other lighting diagram did not. I think the ability to email your diagram with descriptions is awesome. I also like the ability to go in and make changes to your diagram as well. Being able to resize softboxes is very helpful. I think the actual drawing area is too small... That could use a little more room. I would also like to see a way to add f-stop info and other description info directly onto the diagram itself that is attached to the objects. Great App! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Time consuming *2022-01-28, version 1.13* Time cunsuming not worth it. Make something people can just edit with one hand.fast drag and drop move around with one finger. ### 1/5 — Meh *2019-05-06, version 1.8.4* Like most of the apps out there this one is designed to sell ads. Any benefit it provides to a photographer is coincidental. ### 1/5 — Majority of features aren’t available *2018-01-07, version 1.8.3* App has some major bug issues that need fixed. Majority of the features aren’t working. ### 1/5 — Latest update doesn’t work *2017-10-13, version 1.8.3* All you get is a blank screen with a menu disk at the top. No diagrams, no info-nothing. I am deleting this piece of junk. ### 1/5 — Don't bother. *2015-01-03, version 1.5.3* The design is clean. Too clean. There are no instructions, and from the random standard iOS gestures I tried nothing worked. ### 1/5 — Nonstop crashing *2011-12-26, version 1.2.3* Can't even create a diagram without this app crashing. ### 1/5 — Nice but!! *2010-09-26, version 0* It crashes on 3gs whenever i try to edit a dia ### 3/5 — It’s alright.. *2018-11-21, version 1.8.4* I wish there more options for walls, and furniture. Even some simple lines and shapes that I could use to represent things. The ability to tap and hold and choose a custom color for gels would be nice. And the ability to rotate things on the X,Y, and Z axis. More range of scaling for the diagram would be cool too. Would definitely pay for some of these features. ### 3/5 — Great tool, but could use a few more options *2013-01-13, version 1.3* This is a pretty good app. I use it fairly often . I just wish these apps were not tailored for portrait photographers who use small camera flashes and mono-lights. It would be great of this app had more background options like: walls, windows, and even tables, and chairs for lifestyle product shots. I would also love it of they would add power packs with strobe heads. So you can show up to 4 heads on a pack and what the out put settings were on each pack. This app has a lot of potential if these things were added. ### 3/5 — Crashes *2012-06-07, version 1.3* App is ok, would be very useful if it didn't crash and was easier to use. Better graphics then the other lighting app but would like to be able to use this one! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very useful *2020-11-02, version 1.10.1* I used it a couple of times. It’s very useful. ### 5/5 — Bio ionjuvhhhijiuioihiiiihw *2019-03-17, version 1.8.4* IvhoRR zaaf g g. I can just tell if back byji VHB j ### 5/5 — Great *2011-10-07, version 1.2.2* This is the best app ever. Thanks to the peeps at D-Town TV for recommending this app. ### 5/5 — I wish I had this in photoschool *2011-07-05, version 1.2.1* This app is genius, especially if one is learning studio photography for the first time. The api is fantastic and the options nearly cover all of the bases in terms of lighting equipment. A must have for any photographer, from student to pro. ### 5/5 — Best of kind *2011-05-05, version 1.2.1* The best app for setting up lighting diagrams and keeping track of them. Plain and simple! ### 5/5 — this is really nice *2010-12-01, version 0* such a great application. ### 4/5 — Perfect app for simple lighting diagrams *2021-01-12, version 1.12.2* It is very good for planning and recording lighting setups. Love the scaling feature for all equipments and subjects ### 4/5 — Really useful but could use some improvements *2020-07-12, version 1.10.1* 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 ### 4/5 — No Universal or iPad Version *2011-03-28, version 1.2* Does a very good job on the iPhone, but I really need an iPad or Universal version. ### 4/5 — near perfect *2010-11-10, version 0* Please add a feature adding a sample photos on each diagram, than this app is perfect! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
