Photon Camera

I paid for camera plus. And now it won’t be update anymore because they decided to change name and charge more. Don’t buy.

Zooming really bad

As an iPhone user since day 1 (I was amongst 270,00 who purchased launch weekend), I purchased every single version/upgrade of Camera+. For some reason, they sell said app and start a new app, taking away all of the “lifetime” unlocks that loyal customers earned. Selling to the best 1.5+ billion customers on earth is a privilege. Apple should revoke the dev accounts of companies who operate in this manner.

Flash option does not show. No option to switch cameras. Gets extremely hot on my iPhone 15 Pro while not even recording. 10% battery drain in 2 minutes. It’s a shame because it has a lot of great features but these issues make it unusable.

April 2024 update: -1⭐️🤬 I bought every upgrade/optional upgrade for my iPhone and iPad since this app debuted over a decade ago. Obviously something happened ownership/management wise, but that’s still no excuse for leaving us hanging. Jumping ship and making a new app and then charging an outrageous amount of money is not being loyal to your longtime customer base. I have written five emails in eight months to the new owners of camera+ and NOBODY EVER REPLIED. Shame all of you, the old AND new owner. It’s Camera+ but it is not… The new owner won’t respond to communications, the new app is wildly the same but a sub or $40…and they also did not respond to communications requests…. I deserve to know who and where my sub/$40 is going… I no longer trust Camera+, so I deleted it…even though I paid for it, and the iPad app, and donated, AND PAID AGAIN recently in their now sketchy ‘hurry and buy into the app before it goes full subscription’ So I longer trust this developer to my $40, renting a camera app imo, is just useless. Plus, it shouldn’t be as buggy as it is because they made the decade old app perfect prior to this ‘ordeal’ Very unfortunate. I hope both devs have the honor to explain what transpired since I paid.

Drop the price to $29.99 for the lifetime membership. Finger Crossed Ratings changed from 1 star to 5 stars.

I have tried virtually all of the popular iOS camera apps and I have purchased most of them including Camera+ which is excellent. But my #1 favorite camera for those shots when I just want to pull the iPhone out of my pocket and take a quick photo (which is 95% of the time) is Photon. It nails the exposure and focus and the photos come out excellent.

This is a great application, and the introduction tells it all, white balance is a critical component of any good photography endeavor. Give it a try I know you’ll love it!

Great app

I especially love the USB mode on this app, which allows me to offload larger photos to a USB drive! Is there any chance we can get a bracketed photo mode? I often take photos at -2,-1,0,1,2 stops and manually blend on desktop software for the best HDR. It would be amazing if this app could take those shots in a single button press!
