Best ND Exposure Calculator out there

This ND exposure calculator app is extremely easy and intuitive to use. It has great beginner friendly features that help those just starting out with long exposures dial in their shutter speed for specific effects. No other ND calculator I’ve used has such features that really help and guide the user through the creative process.

Great features, reasonably price (NO subscription!), easy to use and reliable. Highly recommended.

Great app

Super easy to use and make taking long exposures a no brainer

Incredibly easy to use with features unavailable elsewhere

My favorite ND calculator was recently discontinued and my new phone would’ve required an update. I found this app and it has all the same basic functions but so much more. It actually provides solutions when you know the effect you want to achieve. Very cool I like it a lot.

Super Convenient

Great app for photographers. Highly recommend
