Halide is an Apple Design Award winning, acclaimed camera from the team behind Spectre, Apple's App of the Year of 2019.
Halide is the most powerful camera for iPhone with the most elegant, simple design — A pro camera for everyone.
This is a groundbreaking app for deliberate and thoughtful photography. With high-end tools, and a beautiful interface designed from scratch for the latest iPhones and inspired by the controls of professional cameras, Halide is your go-to camera when you want to really take a photo rather than a quick snapshot.
Use gestures in Halide to change exposure and manual focus with a swipe, or switch from its powerful automatic mode to manual shooting. Halide’s professional tools are the most powerful in the App Store, with XDR (Extended Dynamic Range) 14-bit RAW streaming waveform views, color zebras, focus assists like focus peaking and loupe, histograms, an adaptive level grid, and manual depth capture. Customize controls to adapt the app to your needs.
Halide’s ProRAW support* is unmatched. Strike the right balance between file size and editing latitude by choosing between 12-bit and 10-bit ProRAW, with or without JPEG sidecars. Effortlessly switch to native RAW, for greater detail and speed.

Reviews
Yes, I read the release notes
Just had to add this review to say that I do read the release notes, and in fact, they are one of the reasons why I will always stick with Halide. I love to see developers proud of their work and showing that they care <3
Don’t waste your time
The app doesn’t work without subscription.
Greedy developers want you to subscribe and forget just to charge you monthly/weekly/yearly
It should be adversed as a scam application
Forced subscription - STYAY AWAY!
This app forces you to start a 7 day subscription. I used disposable credit card with $1 balance and right after the trial started and I chose once a month payment I got charged for over $50 dollars right away. Possible fraud?
Shay
Halide does worse work than the native apple camera app in low light.
All what it is offering is more control.
I regret that I immediately purchased an unlimited subscription before trying it for 7 days.
No video mode
This camera app has no video capabilities I could find using it for 30 minutes
Great app but where is 16:9 mode?...
The app is great but missing a very basic feature and it’s the ability to take picture on 16:9 ratio... disappointment.
Maybe the standard of photography is still 2:3 or 4:3, but when talking about phones the standard is definitely 16:9...
Crashing
The app is crashing after I updated to the latest update
pure crapware
No way this many people rated this app for more than 1 star.
I want my money back!
Picture quality worse compared to native app
The pictures taken with this app vs native always look less focused and more grainy.
This app is pretty useless!
Awesome !
Making 100% of iPhone X camera , absolutely love it!
