We created nossaflex because there was nothing we could find on the App Store that ticked all of our boxes whilst looking good. NOSSAFLEX is a naming convention that helps you know your settings as a glance. NO = Number, SS = Shutter Speed, A = Aperture, FL = Focal Length, EX = Exposure. This all lives in the filename of your images so you don't require a metadata reader to get this info out. Our app not only presents your data in this format but it also allows other information like roll names and film stocks used. Our app has these current features for your endless use: – A digital library for your cameras, lenses and rolls to live in. – Custom-built light meter so you can get readings for all of your cameras. – Ability to add in text descriptions for each photo. – Take a reference photo on your phone so you know what the scene looked like when you captured it on your camera. – The location of your shot can be tracked if you give the app permission. Happy shooting!

Share everyone’s photos with the whole group, in 5 minutes flat. When you’re all in one room - hotel, kitchen table, wedding venue, kid’s birthday - open Roll. Each person picks the photos they want to share. Tap Share. Everyone’s photos merge into one roll and save to every camera roll, full quality, no cloud. No accounts. No upload. No compression. The photos go straight from phone to phone. For the planner of trips. The friend who runs the group chat, books the place, and takes most of the photos. Roll fixes the “wait, can you send me that one of the sunset” moment for the whole group at once. Why Roll * Originals, not re-compressed copies. Full quality. * No ads, ever. No cloud. No accounts. No uploads. * One tap saves everyone’s photos to your camera roll. * Duplicates merge, so the group selfie does not multiply. * The photos you contributed are not re-saved. They are already in your library. * Nothing to set up. Open the app and the room is there. * Works with no internet and no Wi-Fi network. Phones connect directly to each other. What you need * An iPhone on iOS 16.4 or later. * A small group in the same room. * Bluetooth on, and the local network permission granted when iOS asks. What Roll is not * Not a cloud album. * Not a chat app. * Not for sharing with people who are not in the room. Every past roll stays available, with no 48-hour clock. Save past rolls to your camera roll whenever you need them. The transfer experience is identical for everyone. Premium unlocks additional capacity and access to more past rolls.
