i feel slighted

ProfesrP on

let me explain...(yes i'm nitpicking) i bought the app to help with complex calculations, dof, fov, dof table & hf table in particular. to my surprise & disappointment the om systems om-5 & om-1 & om-1 markll cameras are NOT in your database. seriously.?. you get 1 star until you update your data base to include these camera models along with other 'popular' new models that might be missing. hence why "i feel slighted" , for an app that costs £10, i have to input the information manually, and it frosts my backside to have to do so

Great app

losadriano on

At the beginning it was bit overwhelming but once you get on with all the functions it’s super helpful

A little complex

AdamOzzi on

A nice little app. I love that they are not following the heard into subscriptions. Nice to just pay for an app and have what you paid for. Please do not go down that subscription road. Can’t Stan subscription models. They take away what you’ve just paid for and then those developers just have their hand in your bank every week/month/year. Just so greedy. Would be a nice feature to have a section with little tutorials and vids to show us how to use all the features. Thanks

Phenomenally useful for every photographer

NickWB on

Sunrise, sunset times, moon phases, depth of field tables, hyperfocal distances: just a few of the uses for this impressive software. I have used it for years, recommend it to all my training clients. Every photographer needs this on their phone.

Superb

What more I can say

Just the best photography book ever

Fishing1391 on

Just saying thanks to the guys is shallow, they freely give the tools, knowledge, for whatever you want to photograph. Long may you continue with this wonderful app. * * * * *

Cooperman1256 on

Mostly good

animalwhisperer1997 on

This app has permission to use location and it clearly works on the app but I can’t get the widgets to use my location, the feeback button is also not working I tap on it and it goes yellow but nothing else happens,it keeps saying put location on but my phone does have its location on and the app has permission how do I give the widget my location any help is great 9.8/10 for the app

Fantastic photo planning app

MEfromUK on

This is the quintessential photo planning all with superb tools to plan sunrise, sunset, Milky Way and all other manner of photos. It is a bit unintuitive at times and takes time to master, but there are tons of videos on how to do this, and when you master it boy is it powerful. Kudos to the Spanish developers.

Outstanding
