Great App, great "Pro" Price. A couple of suggestions: 1. More film choices or allow the user to add their own films. It doesn't have to correct, but it's nice for the logbook 2. Categorize the Logbook photos by Camera or Film, or Something. I use this app for Many Cameras. 3. Easier way to delete logbook entries, like after developing. Its a hassle to select each poto individually. Keep up the good work!! And Everyone: BUY PRO and support development!! :)

I tried to write a long, beaming review, but I hit the char limit. So I'll cut to the chase. Excellent app, almost perfect. Ad-free: developer after my own heart. Thanks much: donate? I'd like to humbly suggest somewhat deeper customizability. I'd love to be able to manually specify min/max apertures & shutter speeds, select/deselect shown films in the picker list, and—the "killer feature"—optionally specify limited apertures & shutter speeds, for those cameras with more granualar controls.

Thank you for your feedback! Specifying min/max values will be available in the next big release. If you are a GitHub user, you can create a feature request for selecting films and other features via "Report an issue" setting in the app. If not, please write me and email and tell more about "limited apertures & shutter speeds". Thanks!

Clean and useful free features, but I can't recommend the paid version enough. Just the light meter features are great but having a digital photo log of every film photo is amazing. Camera profiles, film selection, clean design and good performance, this app is THE companion to film photography. I don't know how or if this would work but it would be super cool if it should copy the EXIF data into a scanned film photo.
