Fun app
2017-02-20
Great App
I haven't used it in a while but it is a great app. A warning to the developer, you should know that with further versions of iOS this app will no longer work. It needs to be updated. I suspect it needs to be converted over to 64bit
2016-12-20
Piece of a junk
Does not work, out dated app, the developer must update the app. I just wasted my $$$. Don't download it until it is updated and additional features are added.
2016-10-23
Excellent for long exposures
Simple app that does exactly what it says. I use it for a long exposure shots regularly. Good app!
2016-08-21
Yes!
Having so much fun creating photos with this app! Love that the slow shutter gives my images a sense of movement, depth, & makes them more interesting (in my opinion😊). Also, EASY to use!
2016-08-15
Works as promised!
Works great! Just the tool to get those natural low light photos.
2016-06-27
Smashes limits
Moody pics way after sunset, and at night! Who would've thunk! Works like a charm.
2016-05-04
Perfect
I love using the app to document moments of chaos in my everyday life.
2016-04-27
Works with no glitches
Hasn't died during a pic and it works as it claims . I'm happy
2016-02-27
Great app
I use it with low light shots and works.
2016-02-22
Needs more options
An auto save function would be nice.
2015-12-01
Not a single picture
I have not gotten a single picture from this app. It crashes ever time I use it. Total junk.
2015-10-27
Simple and effective
This app does one thing and one thing very well. Some of my best nighttime pictures have been taken with this app
2015-10-27
Very nice app
Does what is says. I recommend it, its a great addition to my photography toolbox.
2015-10-25
Love it
Nice app, I love taking photos in the dark & seeing how nice they turn out.
2015-10-16
Great Slow Shutter
Thanks for allowing me to slow down my shutter needed.
This came in really handy today, as we were at a waterfall, miss really added to my video filming.
If you could add back the zoom feature, that would be great.
2015-09-29
Clear night pictures
Makes clear pictures in any condition. Especially at night. Love this app.
2015-09-15
Good app
Useful hand app for quick shots
2015-09-08
Great app
I've been able to capture many low light images would otherwise be lost. Fantastic. It does require stability. Great app.
2015-09-03
Outstanding
Does great job simple. Efficient.
2015-08-12
Crash crash crash
Restarted phone, crash. Reset all settings crash. Deleted app re downloaded, crash. Crash crash crash crash. 6 Plus user mad.
2015-08-11
Crashes
I wanted to like this app but it crashed the first time I tried to take a photo (and every time). It crashes every time I take a photo. I am in Normal mode with default settings (running on my 6 Plus).
2015-07-17
Never crashed
Stayed there every time. Just fine. Comfortable than just a normal camara.
2015-07-09
Great app!
So useful and expands the camera in a much-needed way.

DagNabbitRabbit 🐰 iPhone 6+ Sprint
Great App.
Loads of features
Great night vision for super photos in the dark.
Check it out, read the instructions if you aren't having great results. You can't know everything right off the batt.
2015-06-27
Nice very nice
God for night pictures
2015-06-25
Awesome
Love the opportunity to take better photos with a phone!
2015-06-18
Never stops crashing
Even after re downloading the app, when trying to take an in-app photo, the app force quits. The app is pretty much useless to me, because of the crashing.
2015-06-12
Very nice good work.....
All I need is Timer to complete this app 👍🏿.
Again great work so congratulations!
2015-06-07
Super cool
This app works like a charm amd really enhances the quality of the pictures. I love it.
2015-05-25
Work without crashing
I'm sure it's pretty good I just don't know how to use it well yet.
2015-05-24
Very nice app
Cool effects
2015-05-13
Excelente
Practico
2015-05-11
Love it
I don't know much about photography but I've used the iPhone camera quite a bit and therefore have become familiar with how to use it well, so the slow shutter app has served me very well and it succeeds at what it claims it can do, and any app capable of that deserves 5 stars.
2015-04-29
Crashes on launch
Used to love this app. Since the last update, it crashes every time I attempt to launch it. Reinstalling doesn't help.
2015-04-22
Easy, long-exposure camera app
Many of the night cam apps require a lot of fiddling with controls and give results that are either too dim, too noisy or are overexposed. Slow Shutter instead has three modes, each with controls dedicated to that effect:
NORMAL for blurring waterfalls and capturing other motion in daylight. (Controls: 1 sec, 3, 10, or auto. Sensitivity can be set to low, medium, high or auto. Set freeze after you shoot.)
LIGHT TRAIL for moving lights like cars at night. (Controls: 1 sec, 3, 10, or infinity where you press shutter again to stop. Lighten exposure more after you shoot.)
NIGHT For long night exposures in very dim light with excellent automatic noise reduction. (Controls: Lighten exposure more after you shoot.)
With one app you can make any kind of long exposure shot easy and get excellent results.
+ Excellent images with minimal messing
+ Universal, works with iPhone and iPad
- Focus is automatic and only focuses on what's in the center grid
- Shooting is a two-step process
2015-04-20
Love this added functionality
However they manage to get a longer exposure, I'm a fan. There tends to be some graininess in low light long exposures, but that's to be expected. After some processing (even in-phone,) I'm usually much happier with my night photos on this app than any other - or even using the stock camera app on iOS.

Great App!
2015-04-12
I love this app!
I have no idea why this is not preinstalled on the iPhone but it does a great job.
2015-04-04
Long exposure great for low light
Great tool. It looks like it takes a bunch of images and stacks them. Great for low light. Best if tripod mounted. It would be nice if it would stack more images! Instead of 10 seconds, how about 5 or 10 minutes. Would be a great tool for astrophotos.
2015-04-04
Cool app

Awesome tool
I am truly amazed at the fun I am having with this app. I know it uses my phones camera but I swear it takes better images than the camera ever has before. Now I just need a tripod for my phone.
2015-04-01
Crash, everytime...
iPhone 6 plus 64 GB iOS 8.2 (latest hardware and software at this point). I will sync crash report with iTunes. Please correct it.
2015-03-25
Really nice
It works, good job.
2015-03-19
Crash city
Would love to review the pictures this app takes but it never works. iPhone 6 plus. Latest version of iOS.
This app in a word - craptastic
2015-03-13
Love it actually
Its brilliant! Such a fun app to use!
2015-03-13
Slow shutter
Gracias Apple <3
2015-02-28
Fantastic App!
Brilliant execution! App works better than I imagined. Pictures come out perfect.
2015-02-27
It just crashes after taking the photo on my 6+
It just crashes after taking the photo on my 6+. I got it to work once, but every other time it takes a photo, freezes for a few seconds and vanishes.
2015-02-26
Excellent pictures
Pictures taken in low light are excellent. Very easy app to use.
2015-02-23
Love this app
There's one thing I would like to see and that's a zoom feature.
2015-02-15
Gimmick..not long exposure
You would think an app named "Slow Shutter" takes long exposure shots. Nope. It only imitates to be one by taking multiple photos and blending it together to make moving objects blurry. Long exposure means the actual lighting of the photos change. These look no different than regular iphone photos...
2015-02-15
Remote Shutter release
you can use the supplied earphones as a remote camera shutter release, by simply pressing the + or - buttons on the cable.
2015-02-10
Can we disable or manually focus ?
Especially in night mode, maybe a focus lock or fixed focus will be great for stable shots. The camera everytime tries to focus but focusing is extremly slow.
2015-02-07
Coolest App Ever
I'm the most photography illiterate person ever and I mastered this app in 30secs. Endless possibilities to customize your photos!
2015-02-06
Great Job!
Does just what it says it would do. It's fantastic for capturing depth and movement. How about a zoom feature?
2015-02-03
Free??
I read a review that this app is free for now. Instructions said to download it a the $1.99 price. Then scroll down to get the free offer. I can't figure out how to do that. So I guess they get my $1.99. I haven't used the app yet.
2015-02-03
Nice app…but
Hey, I’m not complaining. It’s great Apple offers these apps for free. Love it. But, and I may be wrong, I don’t think this app takes these "long term exposures” in the traditional sense. The more recent iPhones (including the 6 series) can not take a picture with an exposure longer than 0.5 seconds. Why? Don’t ask me. I’m sure there is a reason, but I find it a significant limitation to the camera’s functionality. What I think this app is doing is piecing together many 0.5 (or whatever) exposures to create a semi-pseudo time exposure. It is certainly better than nothing and the results are impressive…IF YOU KEEP THE IPHONE STABILIZED! Because of this I agree with another reviewer who has requested the developer add a time delay “switch” so triggering the shutter doesn’t move the iPhone while a picture is being taken.
2015-01-31
Artistic
This is the first camera app I've ever used that you can actually do something unique and artistic
2015-01-20
Timer would be nice
Slow shutter speeds often best create best results when the camera is stable. Often composing a shot, then shooting, while not at the camera, is key. You somehow set the mobile device, move away, and the long exposure shoots.
Why no timer? After the marketing grace Apple has shown this company, why would they not include this feature? Or the reverse camera option? It can't be that hard, folks.
2015-01-17
Grateful
I am really grateful Apple recognized this App in their "Start Something New" Campaign. Unlocking the creative potential.!
2015-01-14
Fantastic app
Really easy to use ... I love the results. Use it all the time... Highly recommend this app
2015-01-12
Does not work
I downloaded the app a few hours ago and have tried everything to get it to run. A black screen comes up with light, night and auto and then the phone goes back to the face it had before I attempted to open the app. Steer clear until bugs worked out. I will change this review if things get better or I'm reimbursed for my purchase.
2015-01-12
Keeping it.
There are other apps that have variable shutter speeds. None of them perform with the simplicity and elegance like Slow Shutter.
2015-01-04
Good start, could be better
Would love to see a front facing camera option, and the ability to control shutter speed as people have mentioned.
2015-01-01
Very impractical
Unless you have a tripod and the one to watch waterfalls all day it has no purpose for city life photography!
I guess because they were featured on Apple's website people feel like it is an Apple approved app, however it is garbage - and I would love to get my money back.
2014-11-13
Works great
Long exposures take a steady hand. Uses an HDR blending process. Does the trick when others can't.
2014-06-10
Awesome!
Really easy to use with professional controls. The low light results are spectacular. My favorite slow shutter app by far! Love the new interface!
2013-10-18
Don't bother
The photo is a composite of a bunch of images from a video, basically. The crop factor is the same as if you're shooting a video. Not sure how the full 3264×2448 resolution is achieved even with the crop factor, perhaps upsized?
This isn't a true solution for slow shutter. I would try something like Cortex Cam even though you don't have as much control, but at least you get the full resolution.
2013-09-27
Awesome,easy app for trails
Works perfectly. Plus it has a lot of different little tweaks you can make. Excellent for light art/light show pics
2013-07-02
Highly recommend!
Just recently purchased this app for the 4th of July for the sparkler light trail and I tried it out and it definitely is worth 2 dollars
2013-05-24
Front facing camera
The only thing I don't like about this app is that it doesn't have a front facing camera. That's all.
2013-04-16
My preferred slow shutter camera
Great photos, simple controls. I really would like to use the front camera for light painting.
2013-04-04
Still learning
Just learning about it but can already see it is so different than other apps. Love it so far!
2013-03-31
Good so far! ;-)
This is a good app, the only thing that it needs is the ability to focus on a point of touch (on my IPad) so as to come out clear instead of blurry from the get go otherwise, fun app! :-)
Keep up the good work!
2013-03-28
Feels like a beta for a future app.
I love the app! I really wish I could adjust the brightness and contrast of the frame gradient. Maybe be able to adjust the contrast of early frames and late frames independently, with a slider to determine where the transition of the frames is.
2013-03-27
Flawed, but interesting
Disappointingly low-res, but interesting. Compared to "Slow Shutter Cam" by Cogitap, which allows me to shoot at three levels of quality (S, M, L) and full resolution (2448x3264), this offers an inferior 720x960 capture and no selectable quality levels.
That said, this one seems to something interesting: image stabilization of the non-moving portions of an image (and maybe of the entire image, I'm not sure). Taking a picture of my cat eating with this app, everything appears stationary and focused except the cat, who shows the expected motion blur (but not much). Contrast this with Cogitap's app, which applies no such stabilization, and everything shows motion blur (due to my not holding the camera perfectly still). This probably does make it a better choice for night photography, in certain circumstances and for most people.
Ultimately, until I find an slow shutter-esque app that makes image stabilization selectable, I'll probably keep both on my iPhone 4S and use one or the other as my exact intent warrants.
Thanks for reading.
2013-03-24
Great.
May have low resolution but so many uses. Great for creating textures. Fast and easiest of any slow shutter app I've tried.
2013-03-24
Has potential
I downloaded this app because I Love Lucky Clan's Art Studio but was very disappointed by the low resolution. I took the same pic with this app and my favorite other Slow Shutter Camera. Lucky Clan was 198KB and Slow Shutter was 1.3MB - i won't be using this app until the resolution improves which I hope is soon because the slow shutter effects are absolutely beautiful with this app. If resolution does not matter to you, then get this app!!!
2013-03-24
Great app
Great app for making light graffiti photos or creating textures for photoshop. That's what I'll be using it for. It would be great for regular photos too. It's really easy to use and works! Thanks! :)
