Aquarium Camera for Negative User Reviews

✓ Don’t waste moneyAbsolutely terrible app... wasn’t expecting something amazing for the price but this literally does nothing that my normal camera can’t! If like me you want something to take a picture of your beautiful blue reef tank... this is not the app!.Jimbooooo2810Version: 3.1

✓ Not working?I’m not sure if it’s just me or the app doesn’t work but there is almost zero change in taking a picture through the app I still can’t see anything in my tank with this app beware before buying.CHEESEBURGER760Version: 3.1

✓ Can’t use it to edit photosWhich is why I bought it. If it’s possible, it’s not intuitive..D2RhinoVersion: 3.1

✓ Not the best, go buy filter gels insteadIt’s decent, hard to adjust since it’s not automatic.Abelsmommy921Version: 3.1

✓ Not better than standard iPhone cameraI purchased this app after seeing some of the pictures posted using the app. I was impressed, but after using it myself I feel like there must be something wrong. With auto filters going the pictures almost always turn out worse than if I were to take it with the normal camera. I’ve seen the developer dm other reviews saying the users settings may be incorrect; however, there is no way to contact the app developer. I’m sure it is a fine app when set correctly, but I have no way of doing that. I had high hopes for the app, but regret my purchase..Aprod23Version: 3.1

✓ Complete waste of money...Rubbish. This app does barely anything to make photos look better, they look the same as the Apple app but a bit darker!.PeteStewardsonVersion: 3.0

✓ Worse that standard ipad camera appWish I had my money back. Pictures are horrible. It looks way better using the standard iPad camera app. You ask people to message you if they have issues but you provide no contact info.NategoggerVersion: 3.1

✓ Waste of money and timeI tried every way possible to take decent photos of my corals and this app is of no help than reducing blue by 5-10 %. Even despite all efforts I can barely get decent photos. Not recommended.Vimal21decVersion: 3.1

✓ Don’t bother!What a bag of s@#*! £1.99 and all it does is slightly change the colour balance! Do not buy this! I want my money back for this scam! One star as they attempted to fix an issue..Blinx247Version: 1.0

✓ Nice app but desperately needs a little update loveNice app, does what it says for the most part. It hasn’t been updated in 5 years. I was on the edge about paying $3 for an app that hasn’t been touched in that long. I may get a refund. There are tons of little bugs and quality of life issues that can be smoothed out. For example, true support for the new phones and their cameras. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and the final picture quality after taking a picture is better than the stock cam but still meh - blurry grainy low quality. Hope the dev comes back!.Lamelizard101Version: 3.1

✓ Crashes on iPhone 6 PlusJust downloaded the latest version and it’s crashing on my iPhone 6 Plus when setting the filter. Wanted to love this app and now feel like I’ve wasted my money..InetjnkyVersion: 3.0

✓ Waste of money!I’m not one to write reviews, but this time i felt it was appropriate. This app does absolutely nothing to help taking pictures of your tank. I played around with all the different settings and options with no luck. I can get a better picture of my tank by crank up the white lights for a minute. Very disappointed..Wild strokerVersion: 3.1

✓ Maybe for newer phones onlyEverything I adjust gel it crashes, and honestly the pictures seem very washed out and not what I personally see when looking at the tank. I know this app works I’ve seen pictures people have gotten with it, but it was a waste for me, as my phone doesn’t seem to handle it well..Poo8919Version: 3.1

✓ Shocking appTerrible app avoid like a plague.PetuleHVersion: 3.1

✓ Constant black screenMy screen stays black. Can’t even adjust the sliders bc you can’t see what you’re taking a pic of. You can snap a pic and view it after the fact but what’s the use of real time sliders if you can’t adjust them before you take the pic???? Going to find a way to get my money back. Complete trash..Macy PayollaVersion: 3.1

✓ DisappointmentWas hoping this would be the answer for taking coral pics on my 12 pro. No matter what I adjust (gel, white balance, RGB colors, etc) orange doesn’t come through in the pictures. Also the images all come out blurry/low quality. Even if the colors were coming out correctly, I wouldn’t want to share them based on quality..K1conVersion: 3.1

✓ Could be 5star if issue resolvedUsing this with an orange filter I can make corals look exactly like I’m seeing (without orange filter). I can also make them look like how they are when I’m viewing them with an orange filter. Very easy to adjust with only three sliders. Issue: A lot of the photos I take don’t end up in my iPhones photos library. Not sure why. If this was fixed I’d give it a.GhentreeVersion: 3.1

✓ So bad not worth the moneyCan’t believe this app. What a waste of money I wish I could upload photos to show how bad it is. Should of listened to my instincts. Please not download..MU71EYVersion: 3.1

✓ Performs worse than my iphone cameraI definitely think it’s a waste of money, looking to get my money back, this app and it’s filters make it look a lot worse than the iphone camera. Forget about the blues and the dimmed photo, this app completely blurs everything out. Very disappointed..Timmyt jayVersion: 3.1

✓ Not Automatic?!?I want to point my camera and take a picture. I thought this app did that. I guess I was wrong. Can’t even find a way to reset the settings back to their defaults. I wish this app did what I hoped it would do, but sadly it does not..GotATicketVersion: 3.1

✓ EhhhhBought this since it’s only 2.99. It helps, but very slightly. I’ll probably never use it again (only because I have a Polyp lab V2 kit). Just get a filtered lens..Jessica ZakVersion: 3.1

✓ Seriously?I paid $3 for this? I want my money back. I really wish I could post the side by side pictures I’ve taken with my iPhone camera and then the app. There is no difference, everything still looks awful in blue light..In Rare FormVersion: 3.1

✓ Captured pictures do not save correctly.On the screen, i adjust the settings to the point in which i am happy with what I’m seeing. I take the picture, and each one is saved as if i was not Using the app, no matter what i do the settings. Not To happy.Gocubs2Version: 3.1

✓ Not workingJust brought this app and every time I point it at my tank it turns off and comes off the app completely!.Cotterell90Version: 3.1

✓ MehI read some decent reviews about this app on one of the big reefing forums, and decided to give it a try since it had pretty decent reviews. Well it’s not so decent. It’s virtually impossible to get a decent picture using this app. I’d have just as much luck using the xr camera and then editing the photos with the normal iPhone picture editor. If was any more expensive I’d be less than pleased. I’ll be purchasing an actual lens for taking pictures of my tank for my phone in the future..Knox_LegendVersion: 3.1

✓ Not worthyLack of iPhone pro support. bad exposure control, limited WB. if it was 1$ maybe, but 4 is overpriced for what it is.KavalskeeVersion: 3.1

✓ Not full resolution imagesThe application does what it is supposed to do. Adding gels, controlling the white balance and temperature are all great features but are all pretty much useless when you don’t get a high resolution image output. The lack of being able to switch lenses (on newer iphones) and the lack of being able to export full resolution images reeeally make this app not useful to me. It’d be nice to edit images in the camera roll, but I get how images are need to be processed before taking the photo, and if the image is not raw, some things aren’t editable. It’s a shame, I really wanted to like this app, but it is going to get deleted from my phone..BryantCPhillyVersion: 3.1

✓ Awesome but Missing a must have featureThis app is amazing for reef pictures, in order to be 10 star app they must add a feature to be able To take pictures using the volume button. This will allow underwater pictures to be taken since screen becomes unresponsive underwater. I have a macro lens and can’t use it because of that reason. Please add this feature.GabinhoxVersion: 3.1

✓ Doesn’t workThis is alright under white lighting, but fails under any kind of blue. Consider that most blue aquarium lights are at 15k colour temperature, yet the max colour temperature this app will correct for is 8k, and so it just doesn’t work..Gaz802000Version: 3.1

✓ CrashesNot sure what happened, but when I click on the app it opens and closes immediately. I have the iPhone 11 and I even deleted the app and reinstalled it. Not much fun when you pay for an app and the only thing it does is crash. No way to contact the developer on their website that I could find..M.ShimalaVersion: 3.1

✓ Can’t focus!I don’t know if this is something I’m doing but I can’t get it to focus it’s for use in tropical aquarium and not reef is it only for reef??.Sarah2211Version: 3.1

✓ Horrible qualityAbsolutely tanks the photo quality when filtering out blue light. Better off paying an extra $2 for a lens filter..HejaoabduwiamVersion: 3.1

✓ Not up to muchDownloaded with high hopes but quite disappointed, focus is awful better off using my normal camera (iPhone XS max) cool in some respects with the ability to play around with colours but again useless without a descent focus.JrareefVersion: 3.1

✓ UselessIt’s just an app that lets you adjust colors. Many other “FREE” apps allow you to do the same. I was expecting this would automatically sense the blues and adjust....La mamasotaVersion: 3.1

✓ Not great.Has potential but really doesn’t filter out blue color at all. Slightly better that the normal camera but not worth $2.99. Better off buying an actual camera filter. Crashes a lot also..Rdm7891Version: 3.1

✓ Camera gets the job done however.So the camera app works as it’s supposed to. The only issue is it’s obviously not optimized to the latest camera apis as the pictures lose all sharpness and clarity. Also no way to chose between the cameras if on a multi camera phone. Needs an update..Adrianr514Version: 3.1

✓ Was hoping for betterFor something you have to pay for I was really hoping for better images...purchased this as I get nothing but blues in my picture on the standard iPhone camera and this app is supposed to clear the blues to give a truer picture...sadly it does not...have played with all settings and the blues are still over powering the camera...pictures show before and after but I will bet these have been taken on a more up to date iPhone...not worth the money sorry..Snapy not happyVersion: 3.0

✓ It’s gone down in my ratings.....I loved this app when I first got it when it was V2.....but since the update to V3 it’s not so good. I don’t mind the gel filters but I bought this as it was basically a point and shoot to take pictures of my marine fish. The point and shoot has now been messed up as when you press the WS eye it no longer sets the white balance as it had in the previous version. Yes it’s got some Auto features but the main one for me is now manual and when you have fat fingers like me it’s hard to adjust by the sliders. I feel that I’ve now wasted my money on this as it’s not what I purchased it for. 😡.CarlcallVersion: 3.0

✓ DisappointingDoesn’t work - I tried all kinds of settings. Picture is fuzzier with this app and just as blue as if I didn’t have it at all. Iphone 11. Waste of money entirely. I would ask for a refund but how? Don’t waste your time..GEReefVersion: 3.1
