I im on a Galaxy S8 Plus. None of the features worked on my phone. App uses black font on dark gray background which makes many songs impossible to read. This app looks sie it es developed in a day without any testing.

This app is a gem. The best of its kind, it's so rich. I only wish It had more than Canon/Nikon camera brands in its presets. Please consider adding more brands even the now extinct Samsung NX1 ;)

This used to be the best photo tool collection of there, but now the black text on a dark gray background for the dropdown menus makes it unusable.

Thank you for the June 2017 update and restoring the weather and moon. A very well created and supported app

Useless, black text on dark gray background in the dropdown menus makes it unreadable.....

Black on grey Sunny Sixteen calc cannot be read in daylight...get the irony?

Can't speak for all cameras but this app was not accurate for DOF calculations involving D5100 or generic 1.5 crop sensors. Compared with my cheat sheet I created and use which I know to be accurate. Update 4/12/17 - tried it again and compared the calculations to an online calculator. Seems to be spot on now. I will test drive the app and give it a fair shake.

hcpl August 27, 2015

This was reported before and we are looking into the issue. Either a problem in app or the sensor dimensions of the Nikon d5100 is wrong.

Luis Gonzalez April 30, 2017

The black text in the dropdown menus against the dark gray background is unreadable on my phone. Need to be able to configure text colors to make them more reable but don't see a way to do that.

Used to be wonderful, especially the moon exposure calculator. All gone now. Updated out of existence. Pass it by.

hcpl June 2, 2017

I just published an update of the app bringing back the moon phase and weather forecast tool. Enjoy

Gary Cousins May 14, 2017

Works well on Nougat.

hcpl June 2, 2017

thank you for your feedback Gary. Much appreciated!

distortedodin April 17, 2016

Crashes constantly or many error messaged I have used this app a lot. It was good but now it crashes every time I try blue hour. Other selections cause error messages. Too bad. I really liked it. I have new S7 galaxy phone. Phototools version 6.7.0

Michael Stakelum May 9, 2016

No cameras This seems like it could be a great app but right of the mark I'm having problems. There are no cameras in the database. Is there something I'm missing or is this a bug? I'm looking forward to getting some feedback. Thanks. Galaxy Note 4 running Android 5.1.1

David Bird April 15, 2016

Does not fully work on stock Android Features involving camera+exif do not work on stock Android 6.0.1. I am running stock on Nexus 6. And no cameras or sensors are listed.

Donald Chase October 1, 2016

Looks good except for App running on ZTE Z970 running Android KitKat (4.4.4). I can't find any listing of cameras and/or lens. I've noted that some users seem to get the lens and camera database and many others don't.

Jeff Rulifson November 17, 2016

Great Start, But... Great start. However, random crashes and bugs make it unsuitable for field work. I would be happy to be a tester. But, in the field, working with subjects, I need stuff to work reliably.

hcpl August 7, 2015

Thanks for the specific feedback. I can work on these things.

Kerry Perkins July 9, 2016

What? Used to work, now no cameras or lenses. Useless.

Ryusho 龍昇 November 27, 2016

Sucks until it works again, then we shall see. Crashes repeatedly upon trying to launch golden hours which is the reason why I installed the app.

Les Snell April 11, 2016

It was good for a while but unfortunately I can no longer see any Cameras in the database. Android 4.4.2 and Samsung S5 and Phototools 6.7

Pugs (Daniel Seung) Pugliese January 18, 2017

Looks like it should be good. No cameras or lenses to choose from, so it is pretty well non-functional.

hcpl June 2, 2017

The remotely shared items are no longer available. So the content is limited to local content only as long as these services aren't restored.

Mischa Bachmann April 9, 2016

No cameras in list Just downloaded and reinstalled app several times. There are no cameras in the list to chose from.

Robert M June 12, 2016

Useless Cannot add cameras or lenses so none of the calculations work.

A Google User November 1, 2016

Does not work Updated from old version, now even exit reader does not work. Remove!

Shaun Ho June 16, 2016

there's no camera or lenses in the list now, worked perfectly previously.

James Nord August 24, 2016

No camera or lenses Used to work fine on old phone, but no camera or lenses are in the remote database anymore. HTC 10

Muhammad Yousuf September 10, 2016

Crashes Crashes right at the beginning. Never was able to start, let alone run it.

Mathieu Carbou November 16, 2016

No camera, no lenses Remote does not work

Giuseppe Calignano January 24, 2017

It doesn't work for "Technical problems loading items" messagge

Allén Taylor November 17, 2016

Hmmmmm Error on every tool I click on forced shut of app when working out calculations. ...

Rajeev VD April 25, 2016

Useless app Showing as Loading.. bt never loads !!

George Karakaltsas July 9, 2016

Useless... Database contains NO cameras or lenses

Gabriele Arecco June 22, 2016

Very nice, a ND filter exposure time with ND exposure time calculated from the exp time without ND would be a nice addon.

Jacqueline Boshoff July 19, 2016

Moon phase exposure calculator not working for some time now

Very useful

Travis Reed March 14, 2016

Great selection of tools GOOD: The exposure calculators alone make this app worth the space on my phone. Then there are the checklists, enlargement calculator, moon phase calculator, weather, the list goes on. BAD: The built in list of cameras and lenses is great. I would just like to be able to filter that list via checkboxes instead of deleting the entire item. A small flaw in an otherwise amazing app.

Rowley C March 11, 2016

Very good but... Wonderful comprehensive tool kit. Unfortunately the exif tool has stopped working on my new Samsung 7 Edge with an error message that it cannot connect with the camera.

Wilton McGhee December 21, 2015

Extremely limited camera options I gave poor ratings because only Canon and Nikon cameras are listed, this is poor. Even if the idea was support for only DSLRs we have Pentax and Sony that still makes these. Time was taken to add individual cameras you could add other manufacture. Has potential for those who have one of those cameras, but only of limited user to me.
