Northern Lights Photo Taker

Totally useless app takes photos much worse than regular iphone camera with auto settings.

I bought this app as it was advertised in the northern light museum in Reykjavík. What a waste of money. I spent ages adjusting the settings and using the preset settings and all I could take were black pictures of the sky. It didn’t pick anything up. My iPhone camera with some adjusted settings took the most amazing photos. Do not waste your money. If you’re going on a tour for the northern lights the guide will tell you have to adjust your camera, if not Google it. The app was pointless.

The built in camera app was far better. This did not take any decent pictures despite following the guidelines and trying all the settings.

This app was a waste of money. My phone camera took better pictures than with this app

Don’t open

App is good if you have an older iPhone If you have a newer one with the 3second long exposure nighttime setting use that instead. Had great results with the iPhone standard nighttime mode in Reykjavik and wished I’d never paid for this app.

Maybe worked with older phones. Doesn’t work at all on I-Phone 14 or 15.

Just got a black rectangle.

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.

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.
