ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Halide Mark III holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Halide Mark III has 14K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Halide Mark III's written reviews are positive against 50% of Multi Timer Shooting Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Halide Mark III ships an update weekly, Multi Timer Shooting Camera every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
