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.

Probably the best camera app for iPhone
A lot of thought has been put into this app and it shows. So much of the features that I’ve truly missed on the standard app are present in Halide, giving you better control over the results of your photography.
Dobbelt bilde
Har i det siste veldig ofte opplevd at det legger deg seg flere bilder oppå hverandre, dette gjør bildene helt ubrukelige, gjerne er det et liggende og et stående bilde av samme motiv, i samme bilde.
Best raw app so far, but I miss..
I miss having long exposure like reeflex have with a couple options to reduce number of apps I have.. I also wish it had 360 sphere option now as Google left Streetview and option to braket and merge hdr manually to DNG.
Youre free updates to halide have ended
I bought this app and now for some reason i have to bye it again?
Simply the best dedicated photo app for iOS
Missing a manual White Balance mode. Otherwise I love the app. Definitely worth the subscription price.
Insane expensive, not worth it…
Lack of digital zoom an lack of opportunity to set exposure time longer than 9 seconds. Anyway, wouldn’t have payed more than 5 dollars for this, even with those features included.
Terrible, scammy first impressions
The very first thing that meets you is a screen where you need to agree to a 7 day trial. In a tiny font it says that after the 7 day trial you will automatically be charged for a whole year. You can’t even test the app before agreeing to this.
This is the kind of predatory practice you see in free-to-play games designed to scam your kids into emptying your wallet. Not something I expected from a so-called professional photo app. I’m happy to pay for a good photo app, but not with that first impression. Steer clear of this.
Photographer Review: Not Worth it
As a devoted hobby photographer, I found the App, not worth the money:
1) Minimum shutter speed is 1/3 second only, which is a joke.
2) You have no control over the F number, it is fixed to the maximum aperture of your phone.
3) For a very narrow extra features that it provide, it is too expensive.
4) I could not see a huge difference in noise level when photos shot in low and high ISO compared. This could be because of camera sensor dynamic range.
Tricked into subscription
Do not install the app unless you have decided to subscribe for a year. The app triggers a one-year subscription, which cannot be cancelled in the App Store until one year has passed. In the meanwhile, you have to pay each month until the one-year period is over.
