### 4/5 — Useful to develop your skills

*2025-12-22*

An interesting curiosity . It’s the sort of app you use for a short time, develop the skills from it then probably don’t use it again. A couple of features would improve its shelf life. The ability to use all of the lenses available on an IPhone, or add a zoom feature. The ability to flip the grids to the other side of the screen.

### 2/5 — Not happy

*2025-07-15*

In your free vision you are not letting pictures in every frame it's fine i understand for taking photo need pro version but that big buying message blocking the view as well that doesn't make any sense so will definitely not going to buy it thanks..

**Developer response:** 👋 Hi, thank you for your feedback! You can take photos using the Rule of Thirds and Symmetry artistic composition for FREE! Each artistic composition will save two copies: one with the artistic composition applied and another with the guidelines (red lines), even for the FREE ones. To remove the explanation window for the artistic composition, just tap on it. 🤓📷📱

### 5/5 — Saved me tons of time!

*2023-09-15*

It saves me time and effort to allying me to take the most impactful and beautifully composed photos. When I use Wise Camera, I don’t need to take dozens of photos of the sake thing in hopes that one of them will look good. This app helps me take great photos on the first take.

**Developer response:** 👋Hi, thank you for join our lovely community of thousands of Wise Camera users since 2018!🤓📷📱

### 5/5 — Smart App

*2023-08-24, version 2.4*

Love the logical visual guidance!

### 4/5 — Very good app

*2023-06-17*

App is almost perfect but try to add a feature in which we can save our image in all ratios like 9:16 or other

**Developer response:** 👋Hi, thank you for your feedback. We truly appreciate it! I understand that you would like to save photos in different ratios. In the Wise Camera app, we use 4:3 ratio, as this ratio best matches the artistic compositions ratio used by artists and painters for hundreds of years. Also, this ratio is closes to the 3:2 35mm film ratio found in film and used by photographers since early 1900s.

Our Wise Photos app will allow you to work with 16:9 ratio after taken the photos. You can check it here https://www.digiguys.com/wise-photos

### 4/5 — Improving shots

*2022-10-15, version 2.3*

Really having a lot of fun with this app . Improved some of my layouts have me confidence to keep exploring.

### 4/5 — Need

*2022-06-30, version 2.3*

Hi, I really like your app but could you add some cinematic aspect ratios too? Then I guess it will be the final.

### 2/5 — Need to be able to rotate the grid

*2022-04-18, version 2.3*

The app often chooses landscape orientation, when portrait fits better. Please add the functionality to be able to change the orientation of the grid!!!

### 5/5 — Very useful app to make beautiful pictures

*2022-04-14, version 2.3*

Nice app to make beautiful image composition with great explications for each grid. 
Is it planned to be able to use these grids with a video mode?
Thanks and congratulations

### 5/5 — Buenísima manera de aprender

*2022-02-04, version 2.2*

Mis fotos están quedando cada vez mejores 😁😁

### 3/5 — Richtiger Weg, falsche Umsetzung

*2022-02-03*

Dieses Tool wäre genial weil man dadurch Fotos mit der perfekten Komposition machen kann.
Es scheitert aber an der Umsetzung, den andere Kamerafunktionen wie 16:9, Filtereinstellungen oder Selfie-Mode sind nicht verfügbar.
Schade.

**Developer response:** 👋Thank you for your feedback! We truly appreciate it. Artists have been using composition mostly based on the Fibonacci ratio 1.68, which it is close to 4:3 and 3:2, this is why the iPhone camera ratio is 4:3 and 35mm film is 3:2.

### 5/5 — Such a brilliant idea!

*2022-01-07, version 2.2*

I had no idea there were so many different composition options for taking photos. I like trying all the different styles to see how it affects the image—and I’ve been thrilled with the results.

### 2/5 — good in principle

*2021-12-05, version 2.2*

do you have to buy the guides for wise camera and wise  photos separately. I would have paid for it if id have known..

### 4/5 — Start w full dynamic symmetry grid

*2021-07-06*

Please start with the full dynamic symmetry grid or make it even more obvious that you have to click to add lines. Otherwise great app!

**Developer response:** 👋Hi... Thank you for your feedback!

### 1/5 — Not free

*2026-07-04, version 3.0*

Another app that advertises “in app purchases” instead of charging outright, but then once you download and let it have your data you find it doesn’t function unless you make purchases.

### 1/5 — 12.99 is very silly

*2025-01-28*

12.99 for some red overlays? I could have bought a sub 5 years ago with that much cash

### 1/5 — Eh

*2022-12-28, version 2.3*

Can not use with photos already in your photo app. Can only be used to frame new photos

### 1/5 — First time user

*2022-05-30, version 2.3*

Love the idea of the app, do not want the lines to be a permanent part of the photos???

### 1/5 — Schrott.

*2022-05-08*

Es wird jede einzelne Funktion mit extra Zukauf beworben. Absoluter Müll diese App, überhaupt nicht nutzbar.

**Developer response:** 👋Hi, you get two first compositions for free and you can use them for as long as you want for free. I hope this helps. Feel free to contact us at support@digiguys.com for more help.

### 1/5 — Waste of a fiver

*2021-04-24*

Couldn’t work out how to remove the guides! Says tap the screen.... tap the screen and it just moves it around. I’d like a refund!!

**Developer response:** 👋Hi... When you take a photo, two photos are saved one without the guide lines (guides removed) and one with the guide lines. You can learn more here https://www.digiguys.com.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2021-04-08*

I wasn’t able to take on short using a grid of choice.

**Developer response:** 👋 Please contact us at support@digiguys.com for support, we can help you there.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t on ios 14 even with the right permissions

*2020-10-15*

Definitely not worth it for a paid app. Please include Manila controls to the app. All the rules doesn’t make any better photographer. Composition overlays are good but all of them can be learnt with just one YT video. Definitely needs improvement. Like adding manual controls. Many more guidelines for photographers not just the overlays.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Please go to https://www.digiguys.com to learn more about how the app works and why Wise Camera is such an amazing app.

### 1/5 — Does one thing terribly

*2020-07-21*

This app doesn’t work properly. There are bubbles each time one switches to another ratio. It’s painfully slow. And the camera roll doesn’t work

**Developer response:** Please contact us at https://www.digiguys.com for support and we can help you with your questions.

### 1/5 — How to?

*2020-01-09, version 1.9*

I am posing my question as a review since the developer has not responded to the support request I submitted via the App.

I have a iPhone 11 Pro. Is there a way to switch between the 3 different cameras in the Wise Camera App?

### 5/5 — Best iOS App To Compose Your Shots or Frames

*2026-05-21*

One of a kind app and the best one on AppStore that teaches you how to compose your shots professionally with detailed guidance. A little expensive but worth the purchase if you want to learn and standout.

### 5/5 — Perfect photos

*2026-02-01, version 2.9*

Now I can take perfect arranged and framed photos

### 5/5 — Excellent idea

*2025-11-11, version 2.7*

Easy way to learn composition, love it ❤️

### 5/5 — A brilliant must need app , for anyone whom is truly serious about their Photography

*2024-12-27, version 2.5*

Composition is the cornerstone of Photography, pure and simple! For anyone whom is passionate about their Photography, composition is what will set their photograph forever, demonstrating and using Wise Camera app to my students, is a must need for me in all of my teaching , no matter what level of Photography I am teaching. Demonstrating live on screen (iPhone 12 mini / iPad Air 4th Gen) in the field, not only inspires my students, but encourages them to learn more about composition, and also helping them to take their Photography to another level. If you’re going to buy one camera app that is really going to make a difference in your Photography, this is it, regardless of whether you’re using a smartphone, tablet, or optical DSLR, mirrorless / compact / advanced camera. The tiny price of the full version is insignificant, compared to what you will achieve in your Photography, wherever you are photographing in the world. Aldo’s passion for Photography, shines through in this remarkable app, please keep up the great work! Neoklis Bloukos Professional Photography Tutor Sydney Australia
