## Northern Lights Photo Taker Description
This app only does one thing and that's to help you take better photos of the aurora borealis, aka the northern lights.

Here's the scenario - so you see the northern lights (!! - awesome for you, by the way), but you don't have a fancy digital camera with you.  Thankfully, you have your trusty iPhone or iPad!  

OK!  Now what??

Do you know the tips and tricks to take photos of the northern lights ? Great, if you do! Enable manual mode; set the focus to infinity; change the temperature to a certain number; change the ISO between certain values; change the shutter speed to something else....wait what...?

Don't worry, this app does all of that for you so all you have to do is find those lights.  ISO, shutter speed, long exposure mode, temperature, check check check. There are 3 presets that you can choose from based on the brightness of the aurora lights that you're seeing.  Those don't work? Try out custom mode until you get that 'good-enough-for-me-to-show-to-my-friends' snap and take as many photos as you'd like!

Worth a shot ! (hah..a...was funny when this was typed...)

## Northern Lights Photo Taker Reviews in United States

### *---- "No longer works"
Maybe worked with older phones.  Doesn’t work at all on I-Phone 14 or 15.
-- Angry Sonos lover, 2024-10-11

### *---- "worked no better than the regular camera app"
Just got a black rectangle.
-- Usuk12345, 2023-11-21

### ****- "Worked for me"
I only have an iPhone SE.  Not a great camera.  With this app I get decent northern lights pictures.  A little fuzzy. But I don’t have a tripod. 
I’m very happy.
-- prfini, 2023-09-19

### **--- "Difficult to customize"
I just downloaded this app and it may be great on the auto settings (haven’t had a chance to try) but the customization seems nearly impossible to use—very hard to see since text changed to yellow, sliders give wrong values (sometimes go up to right, sometimes down, and when you return to it, the value changed from what you set), and no interpretation of the settings (what’s the difference between shutter and expose ?  Is color the color temperature and what units, which way is tint going when you change settings?). Needs LOTS MORE instructions, descriptions and repair of slider malfunction.
-- 5Beachcombers, 2023-03-16

### **--- "IPhone 11 Camera better"
I used this for Iceland Northern Lights photos.  It works, but the built in iPhone 11 camera app produced much better images of the Aurora.
-- Robintheuk, 2022-12-25

### *---- "A piece of Junk"
I purchased this APP yersterday and worked. But I tried it again. It’s not working any more on iPhone 14 pro max, IOS 16.0.3.
-- D. E. S., 2022-10-27

### *---- "Nope"
I tried every setting possible, the photos were dark without detail. iPhone did a better job.
-- lazart, 2022-10-14

### *---- "Does not work on iPhone 11 or newer! Please specify!"
^^^^
-- big boi comunist, 2022-04-02

### *---- "Save your 99 cents"
I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max. It takes pretty good northern lights photos, but I thought this app could help me take even better pics. Wrong! I deleted every single photo taken with this app… the pics were awful.
-- BVTNY, 2022-03-26

### *---- "Useless App"
I bought this app to take pictures of the Northern Lights - it didn’t capture anything!  The regular camera on my iPhone Pro did the job, taking great pics.  Don’t waste your money on this app.
