Not worth $5.99

Yeah the app is well laid out with good examples. But this information is not worth the price tag. Plus, there’s in app purchases for the lighting topics. Wen through the whole in 10mins and was left feeling jibbed.

Great in principle ...

Fair Go Freddy on

The lens information that the app claims as incorrect when you select it, is actually correct. Also the rule of thirds comes up as incorrect and is very clearly framed by the user as a ‘rule of thirds’ composition. The principles of photography are here, however it would be very confusing to be scoring ‘incorrect’ for the student when the answers clearly are correct. Otherwise a well presented learning tool.

I’m so disappointed, was looking forward to learning how to take great photos and now the information within the app won’t load. Not sure what to do. Paid for it and now I can’t use it.

Great app to advance your photo skills

I studied photography part time for two and a half years. Still learned skills from this app.

Great Teacher of photography basics so far

Sean_S36 on

I knew nothing about the basics of cameras and photography This app was perfect in its design in Teaching. Thank you.

Great educational app

Gethin Hemsworth on

This is a great app. Awesome tool for beginners and even professional photographers. Would recommend photography teachers in schools to use this app as a project for their students to recreate the tutorials, like depth of field, exposure and different lighting techniques for their students to add to their end of year portfolio. I Would really like to see more updates extending the already great information this app provides.

Good, but exponential style IAP made me leave

Clear concise, covers the basics incredibly well, even the most novice user will have no problems understanding and mastering the art of taking a good photo.

So want to take a photo but no one is awake @ 4am.

True shred head on

This app is nothing short of brilliant. I don't remember how much this app cost me but it wasn't enough developer could charge $100 dollars explains all the photography concepts from beginning to end. What is a beauty dish what is a reflector. How to......... do everything if this app doesn't improve your photography your not trying..... Buy it NOW OMG YOU WILL IMPROVE.

Absolutely Informative
