User Reviews for Apollo: Immersive illumination

A little warning would have been nice

Looks like a good app, but I wouldn’t know because I can’t use it. I checked the apps compatibility section and it stated “compatible with iPhone and iPad.” It didn’t say that it must be iPhone 7plus or newer. So, I have to keep this app until I get a new phone.I have decided to update my review since a company rep emailed me whining about my first review and trying to make me out as unintelligent. I checked again and the App Store still says compatible with iPhone. You have to read through the fine details to discover it only works with certain iPhones. After buying iPhone X, i can now say with confidence that the app is extremely ok. You can do interesting things with the app, but your customer service skills need some help. Also, dont email me again unless to you are prepared to apologize.

Won’t access any photos

Thought this app would be kinda cool concept is good but it won’t access any photos so it’s absolutely useless complete waste of moneyI was asked to edit my review of this app so here it is this is a great concept but it can’t access any of my portrait mode photos that it has already filtered it wasn’t that it wouldn’t access my regular photos that I left a bad review I knew it would do that before hand I checked the app out first and read as much about it as I could so I already knew it would filter and only use portrait mode photos but every time I chose one to edit it says it can’t access I checked the setting to make sure it wasn’t on my end as well and I did give permission to the app to access my photos and it still can’t access my portrait mode photos that it displays when you open the app I can only access the sample photos provided with the app so once again until this problem is resolved this app is useless to me and was a waste of money and the issues are not do to user error

the possibilities are obvious and incredible

this app has blown be away. the depth api of portrait mode on my iphone X has been relatively wasted until now. moving a light source behind each depth point (and realizing how many there are!) in a portrait photo is so cool.essentially, i can do lighting effects in post by placing lights anywhere the depth api reads a depth object. (it’s easier to show than explain).so for future updates, here is my wishlist:•pause a project (need to be able to come back to something)•wider spread to cover a larger area (much larger)•separate colors from warm/cool white light (ala color philips hue bulbs)•blend close by depth objects (would make the halo effect require fewer light sources)

BEWARE: YOUR PHONE MIGHT NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH THIS APP

Oh, sure, NOW it says very clearly after I have purchased it that it is “not compatible with my device”. Where was this warning when I was clicking BUY?It seems a little dishonest, and I am very disappointed, I know it’s only $.99 but I want my money back.If you’re reading this review to determine whether you want to get Apollo for your iPhone, please be advised that it only works with phones that support portrait mode, which is only the latest phones. Determine if your phone is compatible first before making the purchase.I really wish I could use this.

Wonderful, but not what I expected.

I paid for this app expecting to be able to edit photos in the same fashion as Facetune relight. However, it only works with portrait photos, meaning only about 10 photos in my camera roll are compatible. The app works wonderfully on the photos it is compatible with, but I was very disappointed and feel that I ultimately that I wasted my money, since I can’t use the app to edit the photos I wanted to.

Works Really Well

For the reviewers who aren't able to edit their existing portrait photos, I had the same issue. I found that any portrait photos I capture after I've downloaded the app work. It doesn't seem to recognize older portrait photos but works really well for new ones. I actually like how the Help Tips are defaulted to on until I get used to the functions. After a few times through it was easy to turn Help off. For the developer, it might be helpful if you can explain how to turn Help off right in the app. Like the info you have when the question mark it tapped.

Great app, but please people: know your phone!

First off, this is a phenomenal app. The creativity it unlocks on your dual-camera phone is nothing short of incredible.But folks, you gotta know what phone you have BEFORE you purchase this app! It states very clearly that it’s ONLY for the iPhone 7+, 8+ and X. If you don’t have one of those phones, it’s useless to you. So quit whining and learn to read BEFORE you purchase something!

Amazing control over lighting

This app is the next step in what can be done with photo editing. I love how it works with the 3D mapping provided by the camera, to allow for both subtle and dramatic changes. In reality a very sophisticated tool, considering that we’re working on our phones. That being said, it seems there’s maybe a conflict: the UI/controls don’t allow for ease of use on a phone screen, making it somewhat tedious to make all the small incremental changes this app potentially allows. This app could soar, given the right UI. Think Lightroom and Snapseed (no, they don’t offer what your app does), and how well they function on small screens.

Terrible.

Can’t access all of my photos, just 40 or so, instead of the 7,000+. Of the 40 available, not one is able to be opened by the app. The refund is on its way.Update 3:Received another tone deaf email from the developers begging me to change my review. So I downloaded the app once more and opened it up, granting permission to access my photos. Still can’t open any of my Portrait Mode pics. Thanks but no thanks, devs. I’ll take my money back now, thanks. Update 2:I’ve received another response from the developer. It seems to be rather tone deaf. They just keep reiterating that the app only works with photos taken in Portrait Mode. Here’s my reply to the developers...I know what Portrait Photos are. I know how to differentiate between them and other photos. I know where they’re stored in the Photos App. I know how your app works. Now read, very carefully - Your app DOES NOT open any Portrait Mode photo on my iPhone 7 Plus, nor will it open a photo taken in Portrait Mode on my wife’s iPhone 7 Plus. Until the app is updated, you shouldn’t ask me to update this review. Update:Received a canned response from the developer, but it completely misses the mark. Yes, I understand the app is only going to use photos taken in Portrait Mode. But there’s just the one glaring problem, dear developers: Your app won’t open any Portrait Mode photo! Refund please. Pronto.

Excellent app with an intuitive UI

Blown away with my first render created using Apollo. A similar render I created a few months back by painstakingly transforming an images mood by manipulating light and saturation levels with an editing apps brush tool took hours to create. I just created a similar render from another pic from the same shoot, that has its look and feel, not to mention its overall quality, in 20mn!

Description

*** Apollo operates on Portrait Mode photos (requires iPhone 7 Plus, 8 Plus, X or NEWER). *** Apollo is the FIRST application that enables you to add light sources to your **Portrait Mode** photos, after the photo was taken! Apollo reconstructs a 3D map of your photo which you can augment with new light sources in real time. Take your portrait mode photographs from awesome to unforgettable by selecting the color, intensity, distance of a light and illuminate your photos and selfies to your heart's content. *** WARNING: Taking portrait mode photos requires iPhone 7 Plus, 8 Plus, X or NEWER. *** Apollo is the first app to use the depth data of your portrait mode photos to calculate photorealistic light and shadow.

Using a proprietary processing algorithm running on your iPhone's graphics card, Apollo is able to render light sources on a portrait scene or selfie in real time. Apollo allows professional photographers and amateurs alike to try things that are not possible in the physical world. You can shape scene lighting by adding or even removing light. Since lights are computationally rendered in the scene, it is possible to put a light source within the frame: say hello to invisible lamps! The UI is optimised for use with one thumb, allowing you to always view the entire photo. One price, no in-app purchases and no subscriptions. We hope that Apollo is part of the computational photography revolution. We are doing our best but your support is crucial. Send us your feedback, ideas or bug reports on our support email.
