Not versatile
I was expecting various photo scenes to play with settings, especially with different times of day and night. This only has the one photo to try the settings on.
2020-10-27
Excellent for learning exposure AND depth of field.
Excellent App! When I first started using it I concentrated on learning the exposure triangle. Then I realized it was also very good for learning how depth of field works. Very cool!
2020-08-03
Waste of money!
Total waste of money. There’s no way to close the app once you open it. iPhone 11pro
2019-10-09
Great program
Nice way to Learn the triangle setting
2017-08-14
Needs to be updated.
Please developer. Can you update this app before it stops working with iOS 11.
2016-10-05
Boring awful
Very boring game don't waste ur time or money .. Stupid game
2014-09-19
Not working under iOS 8
Just updated to iOS 8 yesterday and discovered today that this app will no longer open. I started using it in my photo class last year and it has been a great teaching tool. Please update! Thanks
2014-06-21
Great teaching tool
If you teach photography, especially to beginners, and want them to really understand the basic relationships of shutter, aperture and ISO, this is the perfect tool. You'll see little light bulbs click over their heads. Worth every penny.
2013-07-03
This app is better then taking a class!!! Worth the $$$
If you are learning to shot in manual this is a great tool.
2013-05-07
Just what I needed!
I have watched dozens of videos online, purchased 3 basic photography instructional videos, 2 books and 2 apps but none of them helped me understand what it took to shoot on Manual mode, they helped, but not as much as I wanted. This app truly helped me understand and practice on all 3 modes! I got to practice in different light situations, a most to master exposure. I love it. Please update to get more subjects in different settings.Thanks
2013-01-06
Should be $0.99
This is a descent app. However at $1.99 price tag I feel it is a bit over priced. This app is for the extreme beginner who doesn't have an understanding of the shooting triangle (ISO, Shutter speed, Aperture). Using your DSLR you can achieve the same thing by changing the settings and looking at your own pictures.
2012-12-14
Not bad
Great learning app. I would like to see more creative examples, for intentional blurring of moving subjects and night shots.
2012-10-09
Keeps crashing!
I love the online version, bit this app keeps crashing any time I mark adjustments to distance/focal length.
2012-10-04
Not working on iPhone 4 nor the iPad 3
Great app but needs more variations of assignments.
2012-10-04
Great app!
I love this app. This is my 35 year as an art teacher and my first year as a photo teacher. This app provides me and my students an opportunity to get experience using aperture, shutter speed priority or manual with a total understanding of all the variables such as lens length, iso, lighting conditions etc. and then gives immediate results with a photo that lets you know see and understand if the photo was successful and why. The results also lists the selected aperture or shutter speed you used and what you need to do to make a successful photo. If you are using film, this will save you tons of time and money. This app is awesome!
2012-09-16
Perfect app ... well almost
I have always loved this on the web. Glad to see it as an app now. If I may request one change can you also provide a landscape view this would be helpful in connecting to an external monitor. Thanks love the app.

Good idea, Poor execution
I saw that this guy was looking to do a Kickstarter for a Version 2.0 of this app. I was interested, so I figured I'd try 1.0 out.
The idea this app brings is great! However, I would like to see more scenarios then a picture perfect day. Anybody can take a good shot when the conditions are in their favor but how about a photo inside an opera house without flash, or a birthday party as the candles are blown out. Unfortunately, the developers didn't think that far and only offer one photo to.
As for how well the app works, one word. Crash. The app froze my iPad no once, not twice, but three times upon operation. So bad that I had to do a hard reboot (where you hold down the button until it just turns off without the "are you sure" slider. Once I was in the app, at one point, that ONE photo...froze as well so I was shooting blind. Sigh...
Something that would be great for this app to include, is an ability to take photos of different scenarios like I said before and also the ability to turn the camera on the back of my iPad into a DSLR style. In other words, have it be able to control the shutter speed, ISO, apeture (probably would have to be simulated) and White balance with DSLR like controls this way, I can practice in the app, and then out of the app (sorta).
In conclusion, I want my money back. Not only is this app not worth the two dollars I paid, but the quality isn't either. And the fact that the '2.0' is in the works tells me that there aren't going to be any updates coming to this version in the future which even further annoys me.
2012-07-18
Great app, but more subjects to photo would be better
Great app, thanks for explaining basics of photography. But I also want to mention, that more subjects to photo would be better: add some sports, mountains etc.
2012-07-15
Good and Simple
Great app, makes getting used to using aperture and shutter priority settings a breeze. Nice simple interface with a good help feature. Would be nice to have multiple subjects especially ones that would match the lighting condition feature. Can't wait to see the next version.
2012-07-09
Save your money
the most useless app I've ever bought!
2012-07-01
Great, but... More scenes please...
Many before me have asked, but I will repeat it nonetheless. Please add more scenes. A real indoor scene, a night scene, etc. Lessons on exposure lock or metering options welcome too.
If you wanted to go really overboard, why not add a 'working' camera option. Understand that the iPad camera is rather limited, but some things can be emulated just peachy.
Defintely a keeper.
2012-06-24
Love it
Easy to use and very helpful. Great job. Future add should have different pics to choose from. Like a waterfall to see how changing the shutter speed effects the water.
All in all, I think it's great. Thanks Darlene for telling me about.
2012-04-07
Thanks for the help
Great idea for the app. Thank you so much for creating this. It has helped me a lot to understand photography. However, which is the light meter?
2012-04-05
Great idea but...
This is an interesting concept but lacks the depth to truly deliver. The developers need to ad a lot more shooting situations. I almost never shoot pictures of children at the park on a sunny day therefor this is interesting but fails as a teaching tool.
2012-03-29
A fantastic learning tool!
This app is OUTSTANDING! There really isn't a better way to learn than doing, and this app has the genuine chops to familiarize the most novice photographers with the basics of using a DSLR.
I would LOVE if there were a few different shooting scenarios though - especially indoors (with different lighting conditions to demonstrate white balance), and low light. It wouldnt even be unreasonable to charge a buck for new scenarios. I'd buy them :-)
2012-03-10
Truly helpful! I recommend to any amateur photographers!
I just bought a Canon EOS 600D (Rebel T3i with 18-55mm kit lens) a few weeks ago. I'm new to DSLR photography and wanted to finally venture away from the automatic modes (automatic modes are not so great like point and shoots because they don't correct problems with internal software and photos are easily grainy). This app definitely helped me grasp the manual settings quickly! If you are an amateur photographer or thinking about moving away from point and shoot but you aren't sure you can do it... Buy this app before you buy your DSLR! You will know if you can handle it and you will also be able to grasp the controls more quickly after you bought it. Even if this app was $20, I'd still buy it! The only thing I would recommend to the developer is to include flash settings and maybe some different subjects to take a photos of. Everything else is A+++!
2012-03-06
Excellent App
This app truly deserves a 5 star rating. I'm only shorting it a single star due to only having one photo example. This is no big deal regarding functionality as you can configure this single shot to almost any condition, however, it gets boring after a while to see the same picture all the time. Add a few more options and I will gladly up my rating to a full 5 stars. Excellent work and thanks for sharing in the app store.
PS - I can honestly say that this has helped me be a better photographer and it's a great tool for anyone wanting to know mo about their camera past the Automatic setting.
2012-03-03
Useless
Do not waste your money or time with this useless app. All it does is crash whenever any adjustment is made. I have deleted it any reinstalled several times to no improvement .
2012-03-03
Very cool!
This really highlights the relationship between shutter speed, aperture and ISO - thanks for demystifying it! It'd be better with a few more choices in subject matter (each with a different default light level), a way to frame the picture and a way to use the various types of light meters available on many SLRs. Perhaps some sample images could be made available that offer different areas for potential focus, with some foreground and background layers that could come in and out of focus depending on f-stop. Then perhaps different types of lenses, too... Nothing too out-of-the-ordinary, just the ones an amateur is more likely to want (standard kit and telephoto.)
2012-03-02
Awesome app
You own a SLR then you should own this innovative app.but looking for more developments to bring all the functionalities within like sports mode,moving objects....thanks to the app dev team.
2012-02-24
Great App
This is a wonderful teaching tool both online and on the web. Thanks so much for making it available as an app.
Here's a thought: it would be an even more powerful teaching tool if the parameters could be temporarily hidden. For instance, hide the shutter speed value in aperture priority so a student could figure it out then check to see if they were right. Or hide the meter while calculating exposure values.
I'm just tarting to have ideas how to use this in class. It's a wonderful app.
2012-02-19
Mbuyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I only use my iPad in landscape mode, and would love to see that mode available for this App. Great App otherwise!
2012-02-02
Great Photo App
it is a must for any with a interest in shooting SLR pictures
2012-01-28
A good tool but needs more subjects
Needs more subjects to photograph. I would have liked to practice photographing still objects in dim lighting, making use of the tripod option.
2012-01-18
Great app! Good idea
Interface is clean and easy to use. The help is fantastic
2011-12-31
the update fixed the problem where the program quit
Now I can have some fun showing this to newbie photographers! Thanks for making the app.
