Manual – RAW Camera

Not sure what has changed but the sliders for SS/ISO take way longer to change now compared to a few years ago.

With no control over f/stop this really isn’t a manual camera app. You control ISO, Shutter speed and white balance. If there were just control over f/stop this would be a very good app.

Waste of money you can’t get out of the tutorial so you can barely use the app. I want my money back this is trash

Changing one setting turns off or changes other settings. I feel like I’m playing whack a mole. Very unintuitive. What a waste of four dollars.

Manual was my go-to photo app on iOS, until I stupidly installed the new version. No more white balance or precise focus controls. Very sad. Goodbye Manual.

With iPad Pro what you see is a tiny square in the center of the screen, when you go to the settings you cannot scroll the settings and many of them are off the bottom of the screen. It locks itself in some kind of mode to help you figure out how to run it and that will not go away. It never let you see an actual rectangle of field of you in order to take shots. It’s an absolute waste of money.

I was looking for an application that would allow manual operation of the camera similar to my DSLR. I found this app to have very few features that actually allowed for manual operation. In addition to that this camera app lags severely behind when there is any movement. Overall this has been a waste of $4. Wouldn’t recommend this to anyone.

Not sure what changed, but feels less intuitive from a UI perspective than in the past. Biggest problem is that I cannot figure out how to get a full viewfinder. It seems permanently cropped, which means you cannot take precise photos. For me, that defeats a key function of the app.

This all let’s you fiddle with shutter speed, ISO, focus and make some Exposure Compensation adjustments, but there is no aperture control, so it’s basically useless. Also, the sensitivity of controls is such that you will spend ages trying to dial-in any settings. So if you want to spend your time messing with your phone instead of taking pictures, spend money here. Otherwise, get a fully manual camera.

Bought it on day 1 of its release on the App Store, and it has been on every iPhone I’ve owned since. It’s use declined a bit as I started using LR but I still use manual from time to time. While it’s simple but powerful I do however feel it’s UI was more intuitive back in the day. In more recent updates it seems the iso and shutter speed are a bit more less than intuitive to use than earlier days and pinpointing a specific setting can be difficult as swiping back and forth they move quickly. I do hope the developers address this but it doesn’t break the app.
