Nice App

Love the convenient billing option (week, month or year) depending upon your needs . I am of a different generation and hate the subscription model. I purchased Lightroom, until Adobe converted to the subscription model, but obviously that has sent people packing and buying other software. With this software, I like the results and don’t mind paying the $9.99 for the week dive vacation.

Potential

This might be a great app but I’ll never know because after it ask for permission it doesn’t require (full photo access and microphone) it throws a giant watermark right in the middle, i immediately uninstalled. I’m not going to waste my time underwater testing an app to produce no usable images, sorry. How about a number of non watermarked images first or some other way to trial.

Thank you for your feedback. On the subscription page within the app we do offer a three day free trial, without a watermark, with every subscription. If you cancel before the trial period ends you will not be charged. If you have further comments or questions reach out anytime to support@uwacam.com - we are happy to help.

Just the ticket

I’ve only just tried this app one one dive with my new divevolk housing, and for the sake of limiting new things all at once, I left it in simple mode. Already, that was a great experience - this app is designed for underwater touch screen operation, and it’s fantastic at that. The experience was so much more comfortable and fun than diving with a GoPro. Back on the surface playing around a little more, I realized there are a few things I’d like to do differently, or maybe control underwater. Sure enough, I turned off simple mode and the app supports all of them and more.

The price is pretty steep, but for how well this works and how much it enhances my dive video experience, I’ll happily be subscribing before each dive! I might even have to go back and reprocess previous GoPro video.

Please add the Russian language. 🕊️🙏

Best in class

I do a lot spur of the moment picture taking and underwater photography and videography. I have been using the trial version and find this app allows you access to both photos and videos from one app. No more need for multiple apps to capture the moment. This app has lots of features for every level of photographer beginner to professional. One feature for scuba divers using their smartphone is the ability to see a compass on the screen. I can tell that this app was designed by both land and sea photographers. So far I haven’t come across any glitches. I recommend this app for everyone to replace your phone’s camera.

Update: I have used this app for a couple of years now. This app is how all apps should be developed and maintained. I enjoy the features and especially the app information section. This app is for those who take a lot of land and underwater pictures and videos. If you are looking for something a little better than the iPhone camera then this isn’t for you. As long as the developers continue to put out this app at the level they have I’m fine with the pricing.

Die mit Abstand beste Foto-App für Divevolk Besitzer

Die mit UWACAM gemachten Aufnahmen haben extrem gute Qualität und sind vor allem vom Color-Grading deutlich Aufahmen aus anderen Foto -Apps überlegen.

Die Benutzerführung Unterwasser ist dank der großen Schaltflächen perfekt für die Touch-Bedienung der Divevolk Gehäuse.

Funktionsvielfalt - mehr geht nicht und trotzdem noch relativ einfach bedienbar

Häufige Updates.

Für mich die perfekte App

UWACAM is specialize for underwater photo and video.

UWACAM is great for iPhone, but I’m using more advanced camera from VIVO X200 Ultra for photography and keep my iPhone as primary phone. I hope the developer will open up the option to import photo and video capture from other device and import into UWACAM to use UWACOLOR for color correction like Dive+ software.

Hideous watermark even not using UWACOLOR

What’s good: The interface is nice in either full auto or Pro mode - there seems to be genuine consideration as to the ergonomics of the app through a diving case.

What’s not: Watermark & pricing model. I was hoping to find a camera interface more suited to snorkelling - I don’t have this specific case, just wanted a camera app with standard features that’s more usable underwater than the stock Apple app. I’d pay a few bucks for a PERMANENT license for this - I don’t need pro features, I don’t want correction and absolutely have no interest in any visual intelligence features while underwater.

If you made a simple “big buttons” app without all the unnecessary features and made it a one-time purchase for $10 I’d buy it now.

Instead my options here are to either pay a ludicrous subscription for something I’ll likely use twice a year or have a gargantuan, hideous watermark that is present at all times - yes, even with UWACOLOR turned off. Frustrating.

Response from developer

Thank you for your incredibly helpful and detailed feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective on the app’s features and pricing model. Your suggestion for a simplified version geared toward snorkeling — without UWACOLOR, PRO mode, or AI — is very valuable. We’ll certainly take this into account for our future product plans. You also make a fair point that a subscription might not be the right fit for everyone, especially for occasional use. We do offer a weekly subscription, which lets you subscribe only during the times of year when you want to use the features UWACAM offers today. We realize this isn’t the one-time purchase you mentioned; however, subscriptions help fund ongoing development, maintenance, and support of the app. If you have any other questions or comments, please reach out to support@uwacam.com. We highly value all feedback that helps us improve the app!

Nettement perfectible

Testé avec la correction de couleur en direct, le rendu n’est pas au rendez-vous. En post production seulement 3 niveaux accessibles sans possibilité d’ajuster les parametres. Tout cela à 10€ la semaine, contre 3 ou 4 € par MOIS pour aquacolorfix qui propose plein de reglages, y’a pas photo… si je puis dire ! Je retourne direct sur aquacolorfix, meme si cela necessite de le faire uniquement en post production. De plus il manque un outil ( ou alors je ne l’ai pas vu) quand on fille avec l’appli appareil photo de l’iphone on peut prendre des photos pendant qu’on filme, avec uwacam je n’ai pas vu cette possibilité.
Et enfin, en mode pro, il y a plein de menus et sous-menus mais j’avoue que je m’y suis un peu perdu…

Merci pour vos précieux commentaires concernant le souhait d'un plus grand contrôle sur le traitement UWACOLOR. Nous étendrons les fonctionnalités d'UWACOLOR prochainement. La capture de photos JPEG et HEIC est possible pendant que vous filmez, en appuyant simplement sur le bouton photo durant l'enregistrement de la vidéo. Nous comprenons que le mode PRO puisse paraître complexe. C'est pourquoi nous proposons des vidéos de formation, un manuel d'utilisation et une base de connaissances pour faciliter la prise en main. Ces ressources sont disponibles via des liens dans l'aide de l'application ou sur notre site web. Dès maintenant, UWACAM offre une solution tout-en-un complète pour capturer des vidéos et des photos avec un mode AUTO simplifié et un mode PRO très complet, effectuer le traitement UWACOLOR pour la correction des couleurs, et utiliser l'IA Vizalyzer pour l'identification des espèces et plus. Le tout avec de gros boutons faciles à utiliser qui permettent de capturer, traiter et partager sans effort, directement depuis votre iPhone dans le boîtier de plongée. Si à l'avenir vous préférez une solution tout-en-un, nous serions ravis que vous jetiez un nouveau coup d'œil à UWACAM !

semplicemente perfetta

come da titolo, pulita, immediata, funzionale, immancabile per foto e video sub. Assistenza immediata. Complimenti

Neuer Goldstandard

Nicht nur die App ist der Hammer, der Support ebenso. Hatte einen Fehler gemeldet, Sonntagnachmittag. Wenige Minuten (!) später kam schon eine Antwort, kurz danach die Bestätigung und Update-Ankündigung. Das Update wiederum war dann tatsächlich auch schon verfügbar und der Fehler behoben. Besseren Support noch nie erlebt, vielen Dank.

What we’ve been waiting for.

I have been using the Divevolk housing for several years now (mostly for video), and the new UWACAM app so far looks like the best camera app for underwater use. Like my previous favorite from BlackMagic, it has powerful manual controls and allows you to combine the H.265 codec with the Apple Log color space, which I think is the best balance between image quality and file size. All other camera apps that I am aware of, including the native iPhone app, only make Log available when using the ProRes codec, which is impractical for underwater videography.

On the other hand, the BlackMagic app makes extensive use of control sliders, which are difficult to operate through the Divevolk membrane, whereas the UWACAM app relies entirely on buttons. The UWACAM app also works for both photos and video, whereas BlackMagic is video only. And the UWACAM app has a feature that as far as I know is unique, which is the ability to tap to sleep and tap to wake, which allows you to turn off the screen to conserve the battery without locking the phone. This is a big deal to me. All the other apps, including the native camera app, require a bunch of setting changes to be useable in the Divevolk housing, when you cannot access the external buttons on the phone, and entering a passcode is inconvenient. For example, you need to turn on Raise to Wake, and turn off the Passcode. To turn off the Passcode, you have to first turn off Stolen Device Protection or else there will be a one hour delay. And when you turn off the Passcode, the iPhone automatically removes all credit cards from the Apple Wallet. All this rigamarole has to be undone when you're back on land.

Regarding the subscription model, I understand the aversion when a big company like Adobe switches from one-time payment to subscription. But UWACAM is a specialized app for a niche market, and I don't see how the developers could finance the development of this app any other way, and I want that development to continue. If they sold a thousand annual subscriptions, the total revenue would be $50,000. I don't think anyone is gouging or getting rich from this app.

And, finally, I can attest to the outstanding customer service from the development team. I emailed them about a bug I found in the tap-to-focus feature, and Andi responded four hours later, from Switzerland on a Sunday evening, to say they had reproduced my issue, and would issue a fix within three days. Which they did. Let’s support these folks and the continued development of the app!

Top!!

App molto intuitiva, facile da usare e sopratutto permette di personalizzare tantissime impostazioni. La sto usando da 1 mese e non ne posso fare a meno!

Tint and temperature seem like not working in iphone13 mini

Button is big and good when underwater
Had dive with it on 3 dive and is a lot better than Blackmagic
But when I test on land on adjusting tint and kelvin, it don’t change my viewer colour,
Could you please check

Digitale Filter unbrauchbar

Leider sind die integrierten LUT im Pro-Modus und der Automatikmodus unbrauchbar. Es wird alles viel zu blaustichig aufgenommen. Am besten im Pro-Modus ohne LUT und mit oder ohne Rotfilter, dann ist es ok. Habe wirklich alle LUT‘s probiert mit dem Rec.709, alles sehr schlecht. Meine alte Canon G7x Mark is mit Unterwasserprogramm war deutlich besser. Hier sollte dringend nachgebessert werden.

Wir haben in der Version 2.0 die Farbverarbeitung als UWACOLOR von Grund auf neu gebaut - UWACOLOR ist adaptiv, automatisch und kann entweder in Echtzeit bei der Aufzeichnung oder auch als Nachbearbeitung für Video und Photo direkt in UWACAM verwendet werden

Ottima ma da migliorare

Applicazione ben fatta per portare il nostro cellulare e fare splendide foto. L’applicazione funziona molto bene senza inceppamenti, chiederei ai programmatori di migliorare la messa a fuoco e la stabilizzazione dell’immagine. A 40 metri con illuminatori a 18000lmn a volte ci impiega tanto tempo a mettere a fuoco, e con foto ripetute escono tutte sfuocate. Lo zoom di iPhone 14pro con macro 8x di divevolk non lavora bene fa bene fa effetto aureola. Grazie

Not quite ready

This app is going to be perfect for the divevolk system but there is, what I feel a pretty significant bug in the version I have. If you are recording and then hit the camera button, it locks in record requiring a restart of the app that may or may not help. Not a bug deal at the surface, but a huge PITA at depth.
I also learned that you need to start the app at the surface.
