Not now this is absolutely superb. A complete guide on the phone in your pocket. It’s perfect thank you. ### 5/5 — Pocket guide *2026-05-21, version 1.1* This is a must for Z8 users it’s a quick reference guide in you pocket ### 5/5 — Superb *2026-05-21, version 1.1* This is the first time I’ve ever left a review of an app. I can honestly say this is the best app that I’ve ever used. The information contained in it is astounding and it’s also so easy to find. A definite six stars. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-05-19, version 1.0* This app is all you need if you own a Z8. Excellent!! ### 5/5 — Superb app *2026-05-16, version 1.0* Nikon Z8 user for 2 years still full of useful information Highly recommended wish it was available 2 years ago 👌 ### 5/5 — Z8 Owner Must Have 📸 *2026-05-16, version 1.0* I rarely leave app reviews — it has to be genuinely brilliant to earn one. This app gets a 5‑star review 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 every single day of the week. It’s clearly been built for real people, with a genuine passion for helping photographers get the very best out of their Nikon Z8 without getting lost in menus or manuals. Kieron has absolutely nailed it. He’s packed an incredible amount into a take‑anywhere guide that’s both practical and easy to use. Not only does it walk you through setup and help you understand the camera properly, it also includes genuinely useful tools like the sun and moon tracker to help plan your shots. It’s like having a pocket‑sized photography assistant. If you’ve bought a Z8, this is an essential purchase, especially at such an affordable price. If you’ve found this app, you’re clearly looking… so just get it. You won’t be disappointed 🤟🏼 ### 5/5 — Amazing must have for any Z8 owner *2026-05-16, version 1.0* Just pure class. Well worth the money , can’t image the work Kieran has put into this to get it out there . Can’t wait to start using it . Maverick-photography ### 5/5 — Initial impression positive *2026-05-14, version 1.0* Just purchased and scrolled through scope of coverage and depth of details: very positive first impression. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not an app, just a link to website *2026-05-19, version 1.0* Don’t buy it, it’s not an app, content is not available for offline viewing. It’s just a shell to show you content from a website. If you don’t have data connection (travelling or out in the wild), it won’t load any content. Furthermore, There is way too much text used in each piece of content. ### 3/5 — Desktop version *2026-05-29, version 1.1* Tried to upload the desktop version but nothing happened. Hope you will extend your free offer as there was no way to upload the guide. ### 3/5 — Network settings *2026-05-19, version 1.0* Not covered on the app. Am I wrong? ### 4/5 — The Go To *2026-05-29, version 1.1* Really useful to get to grips with the complexity of the Z8. Everything explained from a practical viewpoint. Really saves having to search through the manual. Kieran is very knowledgeable and passes his knowhow on in his own inimitable style. ### 4/5 — Language and translation *2026-05-28, version 1.1* This is an excellent tool and obviously a labour of love by Kieran. My only issue so far is that despite download from the UK App Store, the Language reverted to my location in Thailand. English is not at the top of the list but near the bottom and the list was in Thai. So since my Thai is not good,it took me 30 minutes to find English in the list by trying every one. Also strangely Google translate is constantly working at translation despite me being in English. ### 5/5 — Paid for itself instantly *2026-06-15, version 1.1* I am an avid hobbyist and the author’s expertise plus detailed information is a great benefit. I bought this on the strength of an article I read from Kieran. He lives this stuff and I expected to learn. I’ve only spent 15 minutes with the app and feel I’ve gotten my money’s worth already. I’ve favorited several sections to come back to. I learned where to finally fix the app crash during download, and why my grid settings never “took”. I fully expect to learn more, all so I get even better results with my Z8. ### 5/5 — Well executed app *2026-05-30, version 1.1* A Z8 shooter since Nikon introduced it, yet still making unforced setting errors on occasion - this app has already proved to be a rapid reference resource and logical setting process guide twice in the last week. The UI is excellent. Well done! I look forward to implementing more of the app features going forward. Therefore, I highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-05-30, version 1.1* This is a fantastic app. Full of useful information formation that is easy to access. One minor issue…I am trying to get the link to claim the desktop app, but it doesn’t seem to work. I’ve tried on both my iPad and my iPhone. ### 5/5 — Z8 Pro guide a great refresher *2026-05-29, version 1.1* Having owned 2 Nikon DSLR’s this is my dive into a mirrorless Nikon. A slight learning curve, a good place to start. ### 5/5 — A Must Have Guide to the Z8 *2026-05-28, version 1.1* A comprehensive guide to the Z8 with simply masses of useful information, with videos etc. with so much useful information. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Essential Z8 Companion *2026-05-25, version 1.1* I just purchased a Nikon Z8 to shoot an upcoming safari. This guide has already saved hours of research and trial and error on setting up the camera for my trip. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Lots of tips and info for all Z8 users… *2026-05-24, version 1.1* Great for anyone with a Z8, especially new users or switching from a different system. Developer is super responsive to fixing bugs. The first copy I downloaded had something wrong which has been fixed already. ### 5/5 — Lots of useful tips for the Z8 user *2026-05-24, version 1.1* There are lots of useful tips and recommendations in this app. Very useful for any Z8 owner, but especially for new users and people switching from different systems. The developer is very responsive to suggestions and corrections. ### 5/5 — Invaluable *2026-05-23, version 1.1* Seems to be an invaluable pocket reference to carry in the field. You know there’s a setting that controls a particular function, but at the most inopportune moment, you have no idea where to find it or how to change it. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-05-22, version 1.1* This is a comprehensive companion app for the Z8 and it does a great job of being clear & concise. It offers some tips that would also be helpful for newer photographers. I definitely recommend this app. I hope they will add a highlights and notes feature someday that would make it easy for me to bookmark something and remember what I was thinking while I’m using the app without the camera. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
