Lightme - Logbook is a clean and powerful tool to record and keep track of your rolls, shots, developments, and all the gear that revolves around shooting film — from 35mm to medium and large format. The idea behind it is simple: logging a shot should take seconds, not steal time from actually shooting. Lightme pairs a beautiful, immediate interface with enough depth and flexibility to fit any workflow, whether you shoot a couple of rolls a year or fill several large format holders in an afternoon. LOGGING, EFFORTLESSLY • Log a shot in seconds: aperture, shutter speed, focal length, filters, bellows correction, measured EV, notes and more • Log straight from your wrist with the companion Apple Watch app, with Siri and Shortcuts, or from the home screen and lock screen widgets • Together with the Lightme Lightmeter app, your meter readings can prefill a new shot automatically • Every shot can carry a location and address, a preview photo, and later its final scan, plus a star rating ROLLS, SHEETS AND DEVELOPMENTS • Track rolls from loading to unloading, with film stocks from a growing database and a processing pipeline: waiting for development, off to the lab, back from the lab, to be scanned, scanned • Keep detailed development notes — developer, dilution, time, temperature, agitation — for rolls and single sheets alike, including push/pull (N+ / N-) development • Add post-development notes and a photo of the final result to rolls, sheets and individual shots YOUR GEAR, ORGANIZED • Cameras and lenses with nicknames, formats (including custom formats you define), pinhole and bellows flags, custom shutter speeds and selectable shutter step sizes • Roll film backs and lens filters with their exposure compensation • Film holders and backs can be marked as compatible with specific cameras, and everything is searchable from a single bar LARGE FORMAT, COVERED • Keep track of your film holders with three states — unloaded, loaded and exposed — always knowing which film is inside each one • Group holders together and follow every sheet from exposure through development INSIGHTS FROM YOUR DATA • Build and save custom queries, filtering by date (fixed or rolling windows), camera, lens, film stock, format, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, focal length and notes • Visualize results with histograms — by camera, lens, film stock, shutter speed, aperture, focal length, ISO, format, rating or hour of the day — alongside aggregate stats like mean aperture and average exposure • Save the queries you use most and re-run them anytime YOUR DATA, YOURS • Everything syncs privately through iCloud across your iPhone and iPad • Export any selection of data as CSV or JSON, or as a beautifully formatted PDF with customizable columns and a contact-sheet mode, bundled with your images in a single ZIP • Batch-write shooting metadata (EXIF) onto your scans — for a whole roll at once, or by matching files from the Files app • Viewing and exporting your data is free, forever; adding and editing is unlocked with a one-time purchase or a subscription AND MORE • Full-text search, favourites and an archive to keep things tidy • Available in English, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Simplified Chinese • A roadmap of what's coming next lives right in the app — new very cool features are on the way :) If you have any suggestion or issue, write me at lightme.apps@gmail.com Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Impress your sellers with professional-quality listing photos, right from your own iPhone. Shoot the house yourself, on your schedule. Real editors finish every photo and send it back MLS-ready within 12 hours, so your seller sees their home at its best, fast. WHY THIS APP: Your iPhone already takes a good picture. Lighting is the problem. Point it at a living room with a bright window and you get one of two photos: clear walls with a blown-out white rectangle where the outside view should be, or a dim room with a nice window. Your eye sees both at once. The camera has to pick one. That (not you, and not your phone) is why your iPhone photos look amateur on a listing. ClickListing fixes that. HOW IT WORKS: Start a listing and walk the house. On-screen guides keep your framing level and square as you go. There are no settings to learn and nothing to adjust - shoot the rooms you want, in the order you want, and submit when you're done. Your photos then go to professional editors (real people, not AI) who balance every frame the way a real estate photographer would. Windows keep their view. Rooms stay bright and true. Nothing is added, removed, or invented. The kind of photos that make a seller glad they listed with you. Finished photos come back within 12 hours. Often sooner. WHAT YOU GET: Every photo is delivered two ways: - Full Size - the highest-resolution version, for your files and for print. - MLS-Ready - the same photo resized to clear MLS upload limits, so nothing bounces back. Save them straight to your phone, or download them on your computer. Keep both versions, at no extra charge. WHAT IT COSTS: $1.97 per edited photo (both versions included), and only for the photos you actually take. No subscription. No minimums. No credits to buy or let expire. Pay with Apple Pay or a card when you submit. Your card is only charged once your photos finish uploading. If a finished photo isn't MLS-ready, we'll re-edit it free. If it still isn't right, we'll refund that photo. WHO MADE IT: ClickListing comes out of The Perfect Listing, a working real estate photography brand shooting listings across North Mississippi and the Memphis area. It was built by people who photograph houses for a living, for agents who'd rather not wait on someone else's calendar. WHAT YOU NEED: An iPhone + a tripod. That's it! ClickListing uses the lenses already in your phone. Finished listings stay available for 30 days, so download anything you want to keep.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ClickListing at none against Lightme's 8. ClickListing also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Lightme's advantage is ratings volume (104 vs 4) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
