Description

**Please note: Halide is *not free*. We do offer a 7-day free trial for annual memberships. Don't like subscriptions? You can also buy the app outright with a single in-app purchase.**
Halide is the Apple Design Award winning camera app with over 10,000 reviews!
The most powerful camera for iPhone with the most elegant, simple design — A pro camera for everyone.
Perfect for deliberate and thoughtful photography - for beginners and experts alike. Get started with our included 10 days of photography lessons to get up to speed, or enjoy Macro photography on any iPhone with our Neural Macro feature. 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 control is unmatched. Shoot without any of Apple’s image processing with our minimal, film-like Process Zero — or use Apple Processing for HEIC / JPG shots and ProRAW. Our ProRAW support* is unmatched. Strike the right balance between file size and editing latitude by choosing between 12-bit and 10-bit ProRAW and megapixel options. Effortlessly switch to native RAW, for greater detail and speed.

Halide Mark II Reviews

Free trial charged me, refund refused

Jhkobs on

I’d always been interested in Halide and Kino, followed them on socials for a while and thought their story was cool. I’d checked out the previous versions of Halide, and thought it was quite similar to OEM Camera so decided not to go through with it. Anyway, Halide Mark II came about and thought let me take another peak. Opened things up and it took me through the unboxing (that was cool) and then took me to a screen for a free trial. I thought let’s take a look to see if it lives up to the hype! After selecting free-trial and doing the AppStore confirm subscription thing, it goes ahead and charges me for the year. I think no-biggie, AppStore will surely refund that, it said free trial, it was a mistake, and they’ll see it wasn’t downloaded for more than a couple minutes. I go through the route of requesting the refund, and denied. I thought that’s weird, so I reached out to Halide support, and requested AppStore to review the refund again. AppStore denies it again and leaves a note saying this decision is final and blocks me from requesting it again. I’ve subsequently reached out to Halide again showing them the screenshots of everything, and I’m just ghosted. It had a lot of promise for me, but on principle, I wouldn’t ever use their application again. I was thinking of paying and downloading Kino at some stage, but any intention of that has completely disappeared. It just feels like their wording of “free trial” is incredibly misleading. It feels like daylight robbery. I hope nobody else gets caught with this!

Thumb & snap at scale… Nice!

No long exposure settings - why?

Great manual control - but why no long exposure settings? I wanted to use the app to photograph star light trails … only to find the longest exposure is 1 second! Long exposure and a bulb setting would make this great and help justify its high price.

Shady practices

You can’t require users to sign up for a subscription to use an app that was downloaded with no price attached to it Shady and deceitful

Very impressive!

So I generally avoid alternative apps to what comes standard, but Halide is so good that not only will this be my primary camera app, but I’ll gladly pay a subscription. I love the manual control and the intuitive user interface.

Customer Friendly and have a great people development mindset.

I was so surprised to see them make sure that the Apple ProRAW was supported within a grace period before membership payment for old customers. They moved the dates a few time to make sure. Great Great Job. Your blog post on RAW was impeccably done. Great interviews with podcasting community. This kind gesture goes a long way. Thank you. The application is so powerful and simple at the same time. Changed the way I take pics!

Don't bother downloading if you want to use this app for free.

Charged immediately for trial?

Yootbung on

South Africa

Funds for a year subscription were immediately Debited from my account for a 7 day trial. Even if I’m refunded now which I have requested and expect to be. I will still be charged for an international purchase. I don’t even want to try the app. What an inconvenience!!!!

Lolwut?

What the hell? What were you thinking? This went from a nice, handy, thorough, useful, desired app..to something that *tonight alone* has "surprised" me with "extras". I'm trying to stay calm in my note here. It's even my first ever note. Please. Please don't. This is terrible. A week ago I liked Halide. Today, I flinch.

Changing the app to a subscription model has ruined the whole app...
