Provoke Camera

There’s a lot I could say about the special aesthetic of this camera app. For now, though, leave it at this: I wish everyone who’s complained in these reviews about bugginess had contacted the developer directly instead of giving up. The experience of myself and others is that Mr. Tambo responds personally and is keenly interested in problem-solving. He also updates well enough, considering this is probably a small boutique-y operation. No, I’m not related or a business partner. I’ve used this app a lot over many iPhones. On my current iPhone 12 Pro Max, Provoke is giving me pics that are as artful as ever, trouble-free.

Provoke no longer saves JPEG images to my Photos (Camera Roll) since the iPhone iOS 16 Update. Now it only saves HEIC images. Previously it saved JPEG. This was a 5-Star app… now down to 1-Star. Sure would be nice if this glitch, or whatever it is, would be fixed. Thanks! Then back up to 5-Stars.

The best black-and-white hi grainy grit contrast iPhone camera in the market.

The filters on this app are awesome but there is a perceptible delay between pressing the shutter and the app taking the pic. 5 stars if that gets ironed out. Competitor app Argentum doesn’t have this problem.

It simply doesn’t work all the time. It’s so incredibly frustrating. I often delete and reinstall, but even that doesn’t always get it working. What I mean when I say “working” is that it seems to be taking a photo, but it actually does not.

Piece of crap! LOST MY ORIGINAL PROVOKE APP AND THAT IS WHY I NEVER UPDATE APPS! SHOULD'VE TRUSTED MY REASONS!! WAS BEST BLK/W APP! PO'd!!!!

Provoke Camera is one of my favorite camera apps. I love the different B+W filters (especially the high contrast ones) and love the stark atmosphere it gives my pictures. I was sad and worried when I was unable to use it for a long time because it would immediately shut down after starting up. Apparently a lot of other users had the same problem. About a month or so ago the app was updated but it still couldn’t get the app to open. What I ended up doing was deleting the app and reinstalling it and the app started working again. If you’re still having problems getting the app to open, try deleting and reinstalling it. Hopefully that will help!

I’ve been using this app for a few years and it is a great app if you’re into the Provoke aesthetic, and even if you’re not. It’s nice to be able to export a 10mp TIFF, which is large enough to make a good-sized print.

I’m worried that this app is no longer being updated to fix the crash on launch that others have noted. I really miss using this app, please please fix it!!

I have used this app for many years. I absolutely love it! However, I have the latest update and it crashes upon opening. I hope you are working on a bug fix. It truly is one of my favorite apps. Thank you!
