Reciprocity Timer for Negative User Reviews
✓ Wish I’d checked first…Bought this app because it was mentioned on a YouTube video. What a mistake. I use primarily Ilford film and the timings are way out. How can you sell and app and then not support it? I’m relieved I didn’t pay for the ‘pro’ version..Version: 3.55
✓ Buggy, but if you use a large-format camera you need thisThe interface is slightly idiosyncratic and the app is buggy with recent iOS versions (Dropbox export blows up) but, if you make exposures longer than a second (and if you use a large-format camera then you do), then you need this. One nice feature to add would be to allow auto-notes even for short exposures: that would let me record details of all my exposures almost automatically..Version: 2.04
✓ Waste of moneyJust Paid £1.99 and doesn’t have Cinestil 800T could tell us what film choices you get, to upgrade to “pro” is £9.99 😳.Version: 3.61
✓ Still gives incorrect dataMonths after previous reviews have pointed out the Ilford data is incorrect, unbelievably the app is still giving wrong results. Utter garbage..Version: 3.51
✓ Paid app with restricted use.No sure why this is an app you have to pay for to get restricted use of, only to find once you’ve paid that it’s going to cost another $15 for the app to work correctly and calculate correctly. Would be good if you could ad your focal length camera type film type etc to get a correct calculation but that is only in the pro version so ideally I’ve paid for a totally useless app that will only do what it specifies it will do if I’m prepared to pay more. I like a refund as I honestly feel ripped off!!.Version: 3.11
✓ Bait and SwitchYou pay $1.99 only to find out you need to upgrade for $9.99 to use all the features..Version: 3.55
✓ 100% inaccurateAwesome idea but is totally wrong. Being able to compound multiple filters, bellows, compensation and reciprocity is fantastic. Except the reciprocity calculations for FP4+ is totally wrong. Even simple calculations do not match up with published data. I tried to contact the developer with an example discrepancy and questions and they never responded. I won’t continue using the app because I can’t rely on it..Version: 2.54
✓ Complete Waste of MoneyYou could easily just use a timer and find the reciprocity data on your film box insert. All other features require you to buy the “Pro-Version.” There’s no benefits to this silly app. The worst part is it crashes constantly..Version: 2.04
✓ Disappointed.The screenshots are for the Pro Version, which is 10 bucks, and should be distinguished better... This neutered version should be free.....Version: 2.03
✓ Useful, to a pointI really want to love this app, and to be fair it is very useful for the reciprocity charts! I've not found anything else out there that has the same range of films, and it's fairly easy to use (I can't vouch for accuracy in all the charts). Where the app really let's itself down is in the timer. It should be a fairly straightforward thing, but shooting long exposures takes, well, a long time. If you leave the app to take a call or whatever, then the timer stops! You have to actually have the app active for the whole time. To be honest, I just use the app to calculate the exposure time and then use the timer in the standard iPhone app, which works just fine, but is slightly more faff than is necessary. It's a shame, because without this (fairly fundamental) flaw it would be an easy four or five stars!.Version: 1.6
✓ Limited film stocksI’d like to see Fuji pro 400H and maybe other popular films such as Kodak Portra 800 and Cinestill 800T so one can experiment with different films..Version: 2.54
✓ Can't registerNeed a bit of a manual Can't register with developers as registration confirmation url is not valid (local host?) May re-review if developers respond..Version: 1.6
✓ Scam!Paid for the app only to find out you don’t get every thing unless you pay more money. GFY!.Version: 3.12
✓ Portrait 800Why is this not included??.Version: 2.54
✓ MisleadingReally poor experience: if you have a free app and charge for the pro version, fair enough, but to charge for an app and then charge another $15 to actually make it useful is REALLY deceptive practise. What’s the point in this app if you can’t choose your camera ffs?.Version: 3.12
✓ Good not greatIt does a basic job at a basic level. Why the default camera is a 4x5 is beyond me. Design is archaic..Version: 3.12
✓ Do not buy this appIt will not boot up. Tried rebooting the phone and no help. I can’t even review this app. It does not work..Version: 3.1
✓ Awesome notetaking app for large format photographyIs this app abandoned? No update and now it does not run under 9.1..Version: 2.04
✓ Ilford Reciprocity Math IncorrectLike a number of other reviewers have stated, the math on the Ilford times is incorrect making this app useless..Version: 2.54
✓ Waist of time and moneyNo use for an app that won’t stay open long enough to use can’t chose a filter without it crashing! If I could give it zero stars I would.Version: 2.04
✓ Message for developerLeaving this here as contact box on your website doesn't work! Hello. I bought the PRO version of your reciprocity timeer app. Unfortunately for some reason the app does not save the holder information I load into it . Each time I load details of my 10 holders it does not allow we to select them as it only saves a random 1 or 2 holders...can you help.. otherwise a great and useful app..thanks..Version: 3.12
✓ Needs Portra 800...Great app with a large number of films, however would great to see Portra 800 and some of the Cinestill range please.Version: 2.54
✓ Not correctThe timings given for ilford films are no correct and often to long by some Margin , compared with the timings given in ilfords own film guides .. have not checked other film stocks as yet.Version: 2.54
✓ Very poorly designed appPaid $1.99 for an app that doesn’t allow one to change most of the settings and while the instructions state that an upgrade to the pro version can be purchased within the app, I’m unable to find a link/button within the app to do so. Paying for apps is something i am happy to do, knowing that it normally supports better products, but either charge the full price up front, for a fully working app or make certain that the upgrade link is available within the app as mentioned in the manual..Version: 3.8
✓ Disappointing. Very poorI bought the app and right away all the menu options say Upgrade to Premium. Waste of money.Version: 2.54
✓ Previous review is correct. The tri-x 400 calculations are wrongThis sort of app is useless if it is not accurate. Do not buy it until they fix these inaccuracies. The interface is great and i would give it 5 stars if the results were correct!.Version: 1.4
✓ Film Holder GlitchyApp closes when choosing a custom film holder with Pro version. Reinstalled app and still doesn’t work. I tried contacting developer, but I don’t Facebook. Otherwise, app is very helpful..Version: 3.11
✓ Complete Rip-offDo not waste a dime. 95% of the features are not available without the pro version. It’s $2 so I’m not losing my mind but just warning you to pass on this app..Version: 2.54
✓ Don't waste your time and money as I didFilm database is a joke, many missing important films like Fuji negative color films (Superia, Reala, etc). Publisher should list films so you know before paying for it if it's going to be helpful for you, and although the app is not free, there is no way to add films unless you pay an extra $9.99, a real rip-off..Version: 2.04
✓ Waste of moneyCompletely useless - timer switches off if you take a call or change apps and the range of films covered is simply too small. Don't waste your money. Can I have a refund please?.Version: 1.6
✓ Far too limitedAnd you have to pay9.99 if you want any good stuff... ISO selection would be great instead of just film selection.Version: 2.04
✓ Not up to date with Ilford filmIlford updated their calculations for reciprocity. The result is much shorter times. This app makes for over-exposures..Version: 2.54
✓ Good idea.. bad implementationHave you guys actually used this app? Or did you just chuck it onto the App Store without even testing it?? Because that’s what it seems like for sure. I have yet to use a feature that doesn’t have bugs; if it even works at all. Did you notice the keyboard won’t minimize unless you have a particular text box in focus? Or that you have to select each film holder you create as you add them else the entire list will peace out into another dimension when you do select one? I could go on for an hour but I’m not your beta tester.. I’m unfortunately your customer. You need to take a serious look at your process..Version: 3.12
✓ Misleading app nameX.Version: 1.6
✓ GarbageCrap, unless you pay another £10 for the pro version. Seems like a con to me..Version: 2.54
