Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Simple RAW Camera at 4.3 against Raw! Photo DNG Camera's 3.0. Simple RAW Camera also leads on ratings volume (83 vs 6). Raw! Photo DNG Camera's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Simple RAW Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple RAW Camera has 83 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Raw! Photo DNG Camera's written reviews are positive against 55% of Simple RAW Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Raw! Photo DNG Camera ships an update every 5 days, Simple RAW Camera every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
