My old Canon 40D is really on its last leg and I’ve since started using my iPhone for a ton of my pictures these days, however, long exposures are not it’s strong suit. That was until I found THIS app specifically. Being able to stretch the time out into multiples of minutes is truly wonderful and done with ease in this. I cannot wait to pair it with the Reeflex lenses once I can get my hands on some. THANK YOU. If you want to really unlock your iPhones photography possibilities. This is the app for you.

After using this app and enjoying it, I wanted to upgrade my photo taking abilities and purchase some of the company’s lenses. I ordered a case and the Pro Series Photo Bundle. There was a mix up with my order and I ended up receiving the Fish Eye lens. I emailed customer support and had the problem resolved within one day. Josh in customer support told me to keep the lens I received and he was sending me my original order. Reeflex makes a wonderful camera app and they have awesome customer service. That is a company I like to support.

I’ve been using the app for a couple of weeks now and have been pleased so far. There are tweaks needed that the developers plan to implement such as: integration with Darkroom+; adding a camera icon for one tap return to the viewfinder from the camera roll; better camera roll management; and Reeflex Lens selection in the viewfinder for metadata. Overall a solid app. I’m looking forward to the future updates.

I like this camera app. I’ve been using it for over a month. There a lot of features to play with. It has the capability of shooting like a DSLR. The focus peaking, zebra stripes and histogram are helpful when capturing images. However, I do find that images that I thought were in focus, sometimes aren’t, even when using the focus peaking feature. I also find that the images sometimes are either too dark or blown out even though they look fine on the screen. Also, sometimes the images aren’t as crisp as the native camera app either. They tend to have a softer appearance. It doesn’t seem to take macro photos like the native camera app. You could, if you had an external lens kit. I’m going to continue to use this app to see if I can get it to work better for me. I would love for this to be my go to app for photography. I think there’s potential for this app to keep improving and adding options, like video taking and an external shutter button support. I was assured the external shutter button support was coming when I reached out to the reeflex team.

This is a necessary manual camera app for iPhone users. It allows the user to explicitly choose a lens while the built-in camera app does not. It would be better if the app optionally uses GPS and save it in metadata. Thanks.[Edit: The ability to add location has been added in an update.]

Tried the app again after the latest update, but it’s still not saving photos. Not going to waste anymore time on it.___I’m updating my review to give the developers the benefit of the doubt. They reached out to me, I sent them a video of what’s happening, and they offered me a refund. I appreciate the developer’s response. Since it’s a fairly new app, I’m going to stick with it to see if updates fix it. —- None of the shots I’ve taken have saved. Access to all photos is allowed, but nothing saved. Switching lenses is molasses slow. The marketing was well done, but not the app engineering.

A worthy contender, albeit missing some basic requirement such as on iPad, where orientation is wrong. For instance In landscape mode , getting portrait display. Also not using the full iPad screen estate. On iphone13pro can’t seem to use remote Bluetooth shutter, although on other Canera Apps the Bluetooth remote shutter works fine. I hope these can be fixed soon.Also it will be nice to be able to move the histogram when you need it on, but in the way of the shot. This is not a deal breaker as you can also toggle it off.

Bottom line, the native iPad Camera app pretty much does what it needs to do, so it seems senseless to mule ones way through an app that doesn’t really add much usable or valuable functionality, yes a few bells and whistles but they don’t add benefit to the native ability of the physical lens built into the devices being used. And besides, simple adjustments like landscape mode? Can’t find it and this is one adjustment that should be easily found as so many picture takers would use landscape mode. I’d be stuck taking pics in portrait mode? I tried to compare picture quality output of this app to the native app and, yup surprisingly, no difference in resolution, or overall picture quality, this assuming exposure and focus are correct in the app(s) being used.

What a great camera app! I normally don’t do reviews, but this app needs one. Fantastic full control of you iPhone camera. Can completely control your exposure triangle. From setting iso, to control of your shutter speed, it is in here. Focus peaking to get what you want as your depth of field. The best part I am having the most fun with is full control of shutter drag, from not only the 1-10 seconds the iPhone app does, but now you can go up to hours and beyond to full bulb mode. In bulb mode you have your choice of M mode for motion blur of cloud trails and smoothing water and L mode for light trails, star trails and light painting. I have not found another app that gives you as much as this one does to get you the most out of your iPhone camera. A MUST BUY for iPhone camera users.

With the native app you can snap great photos and Apple has added some manual controls which is nice. BUT it’s got nothing on the Reeflex app, you have full manual control, oh and 98% of the app is FREE! The ONLY in-app purchase is $5-6 to unlock the long exposure feature. The UI is very easy to use and translatable to a DSLR. I picked up my sisters camera and was able to clack off a few nice pics. So if you’re like me and using your phone until you can purchase a real dedicated camera, Reeflex is the only photo capture app you need. Right off the rip you get focus peaking, zebra stripes and histogram. Pick which lens you want to use and select HEIF, Raw or ProRaw. Different grid options to compose your shots in creative ways. Flash and timer controls. I’m still blown away that all of that is free! Don’t feel silly and purchase other apps and then get sucked into more in app purchases. Download Reeflex and if you want to get creative with long exposure then spend the extra few bucks. But this is the only photo capture app I use!
