5/5A B&W fave
I have a lot of camera apps, but Argentum is on my front page. It can function as a sophisticated point-and-shoot—especially so in Street Mode. But all sorts of extra control is a stroke or two away, when you want it. This isn’t the only double exposure in town for iPhones. But, compared say with the justifiably popular Hipstamatic, Argentum gives you so much more artistic control over the two exposures. The approximations of the look of seven master photographers are pretty good. Educational, too. They aren’t after-the-fact filters; they’re on-screen WYSIWYG as you set up the shot. But don’t stop at punching in the AA or DL button; get online and familiarize yourself with the range of these exemplary photographers’ work. With Argentum, it’s thrilling to get closer to their widely ranging aesthetics of B&W.

5/5Used to be.
When I first got Argentum you could use the AA filter for free. Now all the filters are locked and if you want to use any, you must buy into some level of subscription. Argentum used to be my favorite black and white app. Now I have to give it up. I need to update my review. I have been in contact with the developers and we have come to an agreement on a way forward. I very much appreciate their attention and efforts. They were very quick to respond and very helpful. Great customer support!!

5/5Easily the best B&W photo app
I’ve always said that when it comes to photography, it’s about the eye, not the camera. Well, this app takes what you shoot and elevates your photos to epic proportions. Easy to use and not complicated, with great filters and just the right amount of tweakability. There is a little lag between shooting photos, one after the other, but I don’t mind it. I’ve tried so many B&W photo apps, and this is the only one I use.

5/5My favorite camera app.
In my opinion, Argentum is not just the best black and white camera app in the App Store, is the best camera app PERIOD! The app is fast and reliable, and the UI is great; simple and much less cluttered than most camera apps. Photos look great. I am a film shooter and like the output of this app. I haven’t found any B&W editing app that does better B&W conversions than the photos that come directly out of Argentum. I particularly like the “GW” filter, which looks quite like Kodak Tri-X. Excellent app. Five stars.

5/5Bug following most recent Upload from Apple Store…
This is a good, and getting better, b/w app which I use on my iPad Pro. However, followingbthe most recent upload, the camera has gone a little crazy. Unless one is in Portrait mode, the frame splits up with a jittery image on the screen behind what one has framed! It’s really confusing with the flickering and blurred scene visible top & bottom of the screen. Hellllp?
