4/5I FORGOT I HAD THIS APP… i’m a dummy!
I’ve got every kind of camera app you can imagine and have a few “go to” apps in a “goto “ folder. This morning about 5am, I was sitting in backyard just noodlin taking pictures of the night sky with a couple of my “goto@ apps and it just wasn’t working. Then I remembered this app! I pulled it out of my cloud storage and… wild boy howdy! It did exactly what I wanted. The lo-light shots of my dogs sleeping on the patio looked great! Thank you for this app(belatedly). It is now in my “goto “ folder where it belonged!

3/5Complicated
I actually can not say if this app is good or bad. I think this app is for a professional photographer who wants to use their iPhone for nightime pics. It certainly has controls and parameter settings that I would expect in a DSLR camera. But I am a everyday point and shoot man. This is way above me. There is way to much I would need to learn to understand this app. I just wanted a point and click app. But for someone who understands photography you should check this app out.

3/5Not sure if this is better
I bought the paid version because the ads in the free version made it too clunky to use. It's nice not to have the ads, but the paid version does not automatically put the photos in an album, which is very inconvenient. Also, I recently upgraded phones and I don't find that the night photography is necessarily much better than what my built in camera can do.

1/5Worst App for night photography
This app doesn't work at all. The main problem is that the fastest shutter speed is set to 1/15s, which makes this app useless because most of the time you don't have a tripod with you when you only have a cellphone. There is no instruction on how to use the app. A lot of the controls are hidden and it takes a lot of time to figure out where each thing is, very un-user friendly. I have yet got a decent picture with this app. So, if you think that you may use this app to get a good shot of the bright moon. Forget it.

5/5Well worth the money!!
After downloading the free version first, I was impressed with the possibilities of the app, so I purchased the full version. I took a picture in a totally dark room and after adjusting some settings, I did get a picture that showed the entire room. It wasn’t a totally clear picture, but you could tell what was what. Nice work design team!!
