5/5Great app
I used the program on my pc and figured it would be easy to have on my phone too!

hippo928 · 29 Jul 2026
5/5An outstanding and essential research tool
First and foremost, this is the most elegant and field-practical digital enhancement app available for pictograph analysis on the iPhone or iPad. It was created by the original developer of DStretch, the tool which revolutionized rock art analysis, and this newly released version for mobile platforms has benefited from years of refinement on the original program. It is a "must have" for anyone serious about being able to transcend the limitations of their eyes when studying ancient art or anything else that might possess faint hues. I have field tested the iDStretch app extensively on an iPhone 6s. The application handles the limitations of my cell phone's tiny noise-prone image sensor very well. Direct sunlight provides optimal enhancements, as should be expected, but I've even achieved satisfactory results at dusk using my cell phone's flash. The app handles enhancements from mixtures of direct sunlight and hard shade surprisingly well, a big plus because field work situations are not always conducive to quality photography. Especially helpful are the easy to use options in "Settings". You can limit the number of enhancement filters the app cycles through to hone in on what works best on a given rock or art type. This really speeds up recording tasks and camera set-ups if you are using the program to augment your DSLR photography. The iDStretch app is easy to use, easy to customize, and works great in the field or when simply sitting at home studying your iPhoto rock art collection. It is the perfect companion tool for photographing pictograph panels using higher quality equipment, especially when the recording efforts or desired aesthetics are compromised by poor paint conditions. Easily 5-stars.

1/5Not impressed possible scam
Tried many different megalithic types, locations, and even attempted to recreate the cover photo. After all it claims to use digital pics so I used the sample “before” pic and couldn’t get any results resembling the before after example at all. I think I had better results with my iphone’s photo edit option. I resent the $20 I dropped here.

1/5App fails on 4s running latest 9.3.5 os
The camera and album will not work making application useless. Album claims to turn on permissions, but settings privacy shows no request from the app for camera nor photos.

5/5Great app! Works very well!
I have to say this app does the job well! It is easy to use in both iphone and Ipad platforms. While working on a project a bunch off us loaded it and I must say every one of us were happy! This app is money well spent!

1.0
1.02
You can now swipe to get the previous enhancement or to reset the image. The new swipe functionality (when the image is not zoomed) is: left: next enhancement; right: previous enhancement; down:reset image; up: camera or album.
1.3
New in this version is popup mode. In this mode a choice of enhancements pops up when you touch the *Enh* button. The original mode is called cycle mode and is the default. Change to popup mode using the Settings button.
1.4
New simpler user interface. To do an enhancement just touch one of the 8 buttons in the upper left.
1.5
You can now hide the buttons and use swipes only to do enhancements.
1.7
Added a menu way (*Enh*) for specifying enhancements when in "swipe" mode, i.e. when the buttons are not shown.
1.8
Tweaked the YBK enhancement for better results.
2.0
Support for iPhone X
2.1
Fixed enhancement save bug in newer devices. Warning: I have had a report that the app doesn't work on an iPad 2. If true I can't fix that, sorry.
2.2 · 1 Oct 2020
Improved messages about swipe vs button mode. Functionality is the same. No need to update if your app is working. Warning: may not work on iPad 2.
