645 PRO Mk III App Reviews

hello! 4.05 update is overheating phone & killing battery 10x speed

Seems like a great app but drains battery very fast. Any reason why?

On iOS 9 constantly takes off

the volume shutter!

Last update crashes! No way to open the App... When a new update solving this problem?!

And the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus support?!

ISO shutter dont work very well. In night mode, when you try to have a foto in a bad condition (example in night without light) initially you have a good image, than image go black and you have a bad image

It has a dazzling array of features, its still a fairly clean and uncluttered interface. They support external products such as my favorite the Sneaky Squid off-camera flash.

Short Review: Must-have app. Long Review: After years of disappointing results, 645 Pro MK III finally delivers on its developers promise. This is due to the advancements in Apples hardware, which is finally powerful enough to process large photo images, and also to the fact that the developer has (somewhat surprisingly, for an iOS photo app) not only not sold out to Google or Yahoo, but has continued to update and refine his software. With all of the manual controls, export options, etc., this is definitely worth the money- if you know your way around a camera.

After so much frustration with the earlier versions of this program and the quirky interface… this program is finally… awesome. Very cool. Thank you!

Works great on my iPhone 5, but is very very sluggish on my iPad Mini first generation. It works pretty well if I push and hold the film button to set it to unprocessed mode. No problems on the iPhone 5. Great app and gives very good control.

This app is amazing! When I was a kid, certain shoes would make me run faster and jump higher. This app is like that but for photos. I could take a picture of a beautiful woman riding a unicorn at sunset with this app and it would look amazing. I highly recommend it.

App crashes, developer says if questions just contact, no link to do so or email address. Now it wont even download from app store.

After a few mins of using this app, my phone became super hot. Maybe fixing this?

This camera app has a wealth of features for the advanced photographer that desires much better control of the images they shoot. You need to read the guide to enjoy all this app has to offer.

I paid for it, I downloaded it, I opened it and tried to set it up. It crashed and has crashed every single time Ive opened it since. Im going to try and get my money back.

Brief background. For the best of the last 18 years I have played with slides, IR film, c41 and digital as a hobby. My main interest in the past 5 years has been flash photography (umbrellas, soft boxes, speedlights, manual flash, ttl, masters, slaves and the alike). I have also been a programer for the best of the past 25 or so years so I can appreciate the effort that goes into coding something like this. With this in mind this is what I think about this app: The good: 1) Manual controls, semi-automatic controls exposure compensation. 2) Beautifully looking interface. The looks are just like a dslr. 3) A well written well thought out user guide. Though the interface is so familiar that one barely needs it. 4) I dont care for the filters, square or other formats for saving and other such features since I post process on a computer, but if you do, they may be a strength of the app. 5) Full size tiff support that can be easily worked on with computer applications. 6) Though I couldnt use these efficiently, zebras and other forms of proper exposure indication are a nice touch. Same thing goes for different grids, etc. The bad: 1) Your iphone 6+ gets very very hot. This maybe within the parameters acceptable for approval by apple in the app store but from a user perspective not acceptable. Battery drains very very quickly. This is on the top of the line device with no other apps in the background and with tons of free memory. This happens even when no pixels are being refreshed while reading the user guide! Developer: If this is by design, you should disclose that your app will do this. These devices are first phones and then cameras. People wont use your app if they are concerned with device safety or battery life. 2) Thank you for respecting manual settings when your turn the flash on. Most other apps do not appear to do this. However, the flash is so weak! The native app uses flash amazingly well. If you have a bright background and a dark subject it appears to preflash and meter the exposure for the foreground subject as in dslr ttl flash. Though I cant guarantee that this what the native camera app is doing what I do know is that in your app the flash looks to me always weak, always the same and the white balance off on the flash illuminated foreground. Obviously this is not as important as the heating problem. Surely, better flash handling or even manual flash control would be much appreciated since this is an app for photographers. Overall, this could be the best concept ever for a phone camera app but heating and battery drain even after turning off "live film mode preview" totally diminishes my enthusiasm for it. I just dont use it. Developer, you are so close. Kindly fix these issues and this will be a fabulous app.

I’m a heavy user of a Canon 5DM3 dSLR, so I did have much lower expectations. I do like the interfaces and the control it gives the user to compose the photograph. It’s the implied RAW support that I was disappointed in. People, this is not output RAW files. It outputs TIFF files which is definitely better than .JPG, but you still lose some advantages in using RAW files. I’m not sure if it’s a limitation to iOS not giving the developer full access to unprocessed images or the developer not finishing the product. It’s an interesting app for now, but unless I get the full image-processing capabilities that RAW allows me (in Lightroom), then this will not see much use for me. So close, yet so far.

There are a LOT of camera apps out there, and they’re all getting better. What’s special about this one? In this review, I’m only going to highlight unusual features. You can assume all the other goodies (AWF and preselects, spot or matrix exposure and focus), etc, are present. • Back in the the analog days, photographers loved to use different film stock for different subjects. This app emulates many classic film stock, and shows you the effect of using a given “film” in the viewfinder, prior to taking the picture. This is unique and it is magnificent! The A80 film emulation makes fantastic, natural portraits; and the X32 emulation is unique and accurate. KII and E64 are great for landscapes, etc. These are reportedly the emulations: B&W ]F4 — Ilford FP4 T3 — Kodak Tri-X H5 —Itford HP5 A2 — Agfapan X1 — Ilford XP2 O+ — Iford Ortho Plus Color P41 — Kodak Portra 160 E64 — Kodak Ektachrome 64 V50 — Fuji Velvia 50 K25 — Kodachrome 25 KII — Kodachrome II A80 — Agfachrome 64 X32 — modern digital processing • Camera backs are also simulated. Think of this a performing a crop prior to taking the picture. Since the selected aspect ratio is shown in the viewfinder, WYSIWYG. Certainly helps composing. • You can apply virtual filters similar to glass filters, again prior to the first JPEG processing, This is particularly useful for B&W photos. • Blown-out highlights and crunched shadows can be indicated by flickering white shading. Even better, you can manually focus, and the areas of the photo fully in focus will shimmer as well (focus peaking). • You can save in JPEG, Max JPEG, and TIFF formats (they call it dRAW TIFF to differentiate it form a TIFF of a JPEG). I have to say, though, that I needed to get to 400% blowup before the advantage of TIFF showed up. File sizes were 1.2, 5.9, and 17 MB; so don’t use TIFF unnecessarily. They have an option for for lossless compression of the TIFFs using LZW compression which greatly reduces file size at the cost of speed. Bottom line: If you’re going to take the time to compose and take a PHOTOGRAPH, instead of a snapshot, this is a superb tool.

I’ve nothing but issues with this app and PureShot - yes, I’ve purchased both. Both apps behave erratically and I’ve tried several times to email support at their site with my issues without success. When you try to send and email to their support page it just sits there and spins - nothing !! Nothing unusual with my setup - iPhone 5S running iOS 8.1.2. If their going to sell the app - they need to support the app!!!
