Massive Dev Chart Timer for Positive User Reviews

Good stuffWorks great, conversion of time/temp is great. Good list of films and developers. Able to edit to suit your taste.Version: 3.6.1

Very good!!I use this app all the time. It never failed me. All love to the developers....Version: 3.1

Must own for traditional darkroomA great app for film developers and darkroom printing. Replaces my notebook for formulas and dev times. The timer is also useful, just be careful with light leakage into your film/paper if you are using trays. I cover the top part of the iPhone with paper to limit light usage. Amazing application!.Version: 3.0

Fabulous!Huge built in database plus ability to add more combinations or edit the library. Built in timer is great too. Films are under their name not brand eg Tmax not Kodak Tmax - once you know that it's easy to find what you need.Version: 1.8

My most useful appThis app is awesome, can't do without it.Version: 3.9

If you process film, you want this appIt's simply essential..Version: 4.0

Pretty goodI like the database it contains. Once I figured out how to customize it for my darkroom conditions, it all went more smoothly..Version: 2.1.1

Surprisingly goodDespite the negative reviews and the somewhat steep $9 price tag, I went ahead and bought this app. So far, I'm loving it. Will it ever replace all the other real timers on your darkroom? Of course not. But it's awesome for anyone like me who forgets if it's been three and a half minutes since I started or four and half minutes. Also, you can customize every development scheme to a pretty good extent, which means I can even use it for developing color film too! I gave it four stars because it's not the prettiest app in the store and because of the price tag (though, it's still one of the cheapest things you can buy for the darkroom these days)..Version: 2.0

A monkey could develop film with this app.Been using this for 6 years. Well worth it..Version: 4.1.1

FantasticThis has to be the best $10 I've ever spent. I used to have the Digital Truth web site open on my computer while I was processing. This app is convenience plus!!.Version: 1.7

Terrific resource.I wish it synced between my iPhone and iPad - so my custom timings would transfer automatically - but that's a minor, minor nitpick..Version: 3.0

Excellent AppI’ve been using the Massive Dev Chart for over a year. It has worked brilliantly for me. I’m developing mostly Kodak Tmax and Tri-X, but I have also used it to develop Fujifilm Acros I. Just a well thought out easy to use app..Version: 4.2.1

The best!!I’ve been using this app for years. This is THE BEST app out there if you’re going to be working in the darkroom. Couldn’t recommend this app more..Version: 3.8

5 stars does this no justice!This is, without a doubt, the best app on the App Store.... No joke! Ive been using it for about a year and its never let me down; it bloody works flawlessly! Can't praise the massive dev chart enough. Greatest fiver I ever did spend x.Version: 2.1.1

AwesomenessUsed this app last night to develop three different kinds of rolls of film and was impressed how easy it was to use! Love it!.Version: 2.0

ExcellentPerfect app. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Has a huge selection of film/chemicals to choose from. Worth every penny, much easier than a manual timer..Version: 3.3

Exactly what I was looking for ...Unbelievable, that this app exist ! This is amazingly well written by someone who know what processing film is all about. Well done..Version: 1.9

Good AppVery useful app, but would be nice if we could re-label some of the processes such as an additional wash instead of Fixer B..Version: 4.3

Unbelievable.Wonderful app, easy to use, huge informative and working app. Worth that money..Version: 1.7

Brilliant, but...This is a brilliant app for all b&w film photographers. Only reason for 4 stars is that the timer won't continue to run in the background (iOS 8) so don't try checking your email while processing!.Version: 3.2.1

Fantastic!I recently started developing my B&W film at home and I consider this app a must-have. Having the dev info, temperature conversions and (best of all) the timer all together in one easy to use app makes life so much easier. Well worth the price!.Version: 1.9

Brilliant AppThis is a great app and with the included timer, cuts down equipment needed to process bw film. Surprised to read negative comments asking about colour and Portra film, these are C41 process and the time is always the same regardless of film, so not much of a database needed. I have been using this data since it first appeared on a Palm handheld, and it has never let me down, I teach photography and always suggest it to students. Worth every penny..Version: 2.1.1

EXACTLY what I was looking forAmazing app. Not only does it have all of the dev chart info... you can edit your own times as well. Amazing..Version: 4.3

Works greatI use this app for home development and it works well enough for what it is.Version: 3.3

A great App.I've used the Massive Dev Chart for years, ever since it was just an Excel spreadsheet on my computer. The App only makes it more useful, with it's controls & chemical combinations & darkroom-dimable modes. Simply put, it's a great App..Version: 3.0

Works great!This app is definitely worth the 9$, it has all the film you will ever develop. And it even has cross developing choices. This is a great app!!!!.Version: 3.2

New upgrade is awesomeWith new upgrade looks much better on my ipad. Thank you! Very easy to use. Being able to easily add films and developer combos and to he able to edit items just adds to the already very functional app. this app helps developing my films easier and hence adds to my enjoyment of photography.Version: 3.2

AmazingI use this app with my jobo rotary processor CPP-2 and it's amazing. My life has become so much easier. I'm able to keep track of everything, even when I'm not paying attention. I wish it had a color processing mode. It's a must buy for film enthusiast..Version: 2.0

Best film photographer app everFor the price of a roll of film you can have a chart that will not only give you the time for any film and developer combination possible, but it will also walk you through development, like when to agitate, how long to stop and fix, all with sound effects so you really know what to do. Theres even a darkroom mode where it turns the screen red and black. They really thought of everything. If you're starting out black and white photography, or even if youve been at it for a while, this app is just about indispensable..Version: 3.2.1

Great app!I was hesitant to spend the money on this app initially since I could get the development info for free online. But this was one of the most useful and best designed apps I've ever bought. Being able to customize all of the steps and times for my development style is great. It is so easy to use and well laid out to make film development easy..Version: 2.1.1

Amazing!Really useful for finding developing times! Can be used in the darkroom too!! Great buy!!.Version: 3.5

Wonderful resourceDigitaltruth is a great place for those who like to keep the spirit of analog photography alive. This app is well worth the money and updates keep improving!.Version: 2.2

Crashes fixed, now a great app again.I love this app, use it several times a week..Version: 3.2.1

Excellent app.A great resource for developing, easy-to-understand user interface, and readily customizable. Makes using most any combination of film and developer a breeze!.Version: 2.1

Simplifies developing, a must have app for any film photographerHas a comprehensive database of film types and developers, saves looking up timings. Tells you how long for Dev, stop & fix and even prompts you when to agitate. A must have app for any film shooter..Version: 3.3

Best app out there for Analog Film LoversThis is by far the best and most useful app out there for those wanting to develop their own film. The film and developer database is brilliant and if you need to adapt a processing recipe then you can do so. The timer, including the agitation animation is perfect. So well thought through. Would be lost without it. Brilliant!.Version: 4.0.1

Worth the money.A box of 4x5 film costs $30-$70. The chemicals cost even more. You’re investing time and money and care into getting this right. If this app cost me $40 it’d be worth it stamp out the expensive risk of getting mixtures wrong..Version: 3.9

Great App!Use this App every time I dev my film, easy to use and wide array of film/developer combinations..Version: 4.2.1

Super usefulThis app helped me develop my first roll of 120 very easily. No more trips to the lab. I agree with some of the suggestions from the earlier posters. Nonetheless it looks like for most current stocks and formulations it's all set to go..Version: 2.2.1

Perfect!Does everything I need!.Version: 1.6

A must have app!This was the best photography value in my 30+ years in this hobby. The best $8.99 I ever spent! If you develop your own film this makes it even easier..Version: 3.2.1

Totally worth the money!Sure you can use any kitchen timer for developing, but this app makes developing so much simpler! I don't even have to pay much attention to what I'm doing, to be honest. I input my film/chemicals to be used and I have a perfect timer for each stage that also reminds me when to agitate..Version: 3.1

Great app but cannot searchPity I cannot do a search for the films listed. For example checked Portra and Kodak and neither is listed or I cannot easily locate. For the price of the app, I would say search capability is a must. Web site is also a bit useless on search, as although supported, it asks you to select the film from a huge list without capability to trim it based on keywords..Version: 3.3

Great AppIt is simply awesome! I just would like to have the option to change developing time in hours not just min and seconds so that I can customize my favorite list for stand developing which is usually at least 1.5 hour when I am rating Tri-x 400 at 1600 ASA..Version: 1.9

Great database! Especially for beginnersThis app has been great! It takes all the documentation that used to be printed and bundles it all up into a nice app. I've only been developing for a couple years but this app has been a great tool for me. I still have my binder of documentation from the vendors I use, but for quick references and timer, it's great!!! The only thing I wish was on the app, was pull times. I know everyone pushes but it be nice to have pull times as well..Version: 3.6.1

Very good but...The app is nicely designed and while it's simple to access all dev formulas it's quite rich. However, when you start customising formulas and you change the agitation scheme for the dev stage it automatically changes the agitation scheme for stop and fix stages to that of the dev setting. So, the only thing missing from this app is the ability to change the agitation schemes of each stage individually..Version: 3.2.1

Truly amazingThis has pretty much every type of film/developer I use. It’s an amazing app that makes developing super easy and it allows you to customize and make adjustments as needed. It would be amazing for them to include color film options, especially since c-41 kits are becoming more popular and obtainable for at home developing..Version: 4.0.1

Great appGreat utility and reference for anyone who develops their own film. Well worth the price!.Version: 1.8

Really love this app...Attending photography school all the local college, and use this app a lot.If you do any developing at all I highly recommend the app. It has a lot of common developers and films built in, and is fairly customizable..Version: 2.0

Colour film dev chart please pleaseI love this application!.Version: 2.1.1

Where was this when I was in high school?This app is excellent. I wouldn't enter my darkroom without it..Version: 3.4

PLEASE FIX!Love the app! BUT. Please fix the home screen line (located at the bottom of the screen on iPhone XS) while in darkroom mode. It is emitting a bright light during development. I’m having to duct tape over it at the moment. Thank you!!!!.Version: 3.9

Overall great but..This app is a life saver. The agitation timer in itself is the best thing I've ever purchased. HOWEVER, and I hope this gets fixed; ironically the online (you know free?) version of the chart seems to be more updated with film variety. It also seems like many reputable film names (I.e: vivitar, etc. ) got left out of the mix while a lot of unknowns are actually there. Hopefully updates will fix this in time. Overall though, this app is amazing and totally worth the download to anyone stepping foot in the darkroom EVER! :).Version: 1.9

Really usefulTake some time to work through the App. There is a lot of information there. It is well worth the effort..Version: 4.2

EXCELLENT!!!!!Very easy to use, it contains just about every formula & combination I will ever need... If you shoot real B&W film and love to hand-process, this is the app!.Version: 1.8

The F-stop man.This is a great app for black and white film developers! Easy to use and I get great results. Thanks..Version: 1.9

Missing Fujifilm AcrosIs the original Fujifilm Acros available on your app?.Version: 4.4

Most useful AppIf I had this back when I was at school I would have got a lot more done, a must for students... Could benefit from an Apple Watch app maybe.....Version: 3.4.1

GREAT APP!!!I have been using this app for over a year now and I must say I can not understand why there is all bad and neg reviews. I have not had any problems with any aspect of this app,it works like a champ !!! Maybe if the bad reviewers would learn to use there complicated phones and turn off some of the useless settings they would find that this is a GREAT tool.... I have been developing film for over 30 years now with Manual and automatic equipment depending on the process required, this program fits the Bill for all my Zone work and custom developing needs, Thank You to the Developers of this Program..with the database all in one place is awesome......... And to the negative dopes. use it in a iPod touch or a Samsung Galaxy 5.0 and check your settings!!! you will not have a problem!!!!.Version: 2.0

Best thing since sliced bread!A very comprehensive database of film/dev combos and has a great processing timer. If on iOS you can further tweak agitation schemes and other defaults in the settings area. All in all, it has been well worth whatever I paid several years ago. Yes, info can be had for free online but this still costs less than a roll of Double-X. A must-have if you like to try different film stocks and developers. I recently souped film for the first time in a few years and used three film/dev combos and was able to just go into MDV and use it again with zero futzing about - very intuitive. A must have!.Version: 4.4

Easy with tons of infoIt's very easy to use with all the information you could need..Version: 3.4

Some what goodGrate app I use it a lot , worst part is it hasn’t been updated in a long time.Version: 4.1.1

AwesomeI've used this app for processing 35mm and super-8 film. The timer is easy to use and customizable. The temperature/time conversion calculator is really handy. I've customized profiles for hand processing super-8 films. Saving those profiles and add notes makes it much easier to track your process and results..Version: 1.9

Great, but not perfect.This is an incredibly useful tool for any dark room enthusiast. That said, it needs the ability to compensate for constant agitation and temperature differences..Version: 2.2.1

I use this all the timeLove this app. I’ve used it probably a thousand times over the years..Version: 3.8

Absolutely AmazingI would not have gotten this unless I got an iTunes gift card. Luckily I did. This app is imperative to anyone that develops at home. They give you every development time for every film and developer. Also, if you have experimented in the past and changed Dev times a little, you can edit each time as well. Absolutely amazing app.Version: 3.6

Don't know what I was doing without itGreat app. Very useful. I use it all the time in the darkroom. Fairly exhaustive list of BW films and developers. I've also added custom settings for C-41, E6, and even printing. It's nice to just start the app and just sit there and have it work for you. Much preferred to having to set a new timer every step. I know its not really meant for color films - But it'd be nice to be able to edit the names on the processes. So that I could rename them Blix or dev2 or whatever. Hopefully that comes in a future update.Version: 2.0

FantasticSuch a good app and the database is a lifesaver - no more looking up data sheets for base dev times. Only thing I would request is an analog view option and a 5-second countdown timer option. Both of those would complete this for me!.Version: 1.9

EssentialBest app ive ever bought.Version: 1.7

AwesomeRunning an iPhone 5, this app runs great. This app has NEVER crashed on me. I love it ! Thank you :).Version: 3.1

Film helperHuge help when developing film! Pick your film and developer and the app will time everything out for you so you can zone out a bit or multitask..Version: 3.4.1

Great appMade developing so much easier - rather than ticking off the minutes with my timer and my fingers, I actually could chill out and wait for my alerts. Well worth the money if you develop film..Version: 1.8
