Like app, don’t like subscription

Much better than iOS camera app. Whites aren’t blown out. Zoom feature takes some getting used to

Great App So Far

I just started using it and already love it.

The best thing I like right away are the easy and intuitive controls.

I will be back with more feedback after I complete the 10-day guide and use this app for some serious photos.

Portraits mode for SE3

Hello My iPhone is se 2022 (SE 3). Does the feature of portraits of objects and animals in the Halide program also support this
phone? Because in the description of your program in appstore, I didn't see a mention of SE 3. Many Thanks.

Love the macro

I bought Hallide specifically for the macro capability it adds to my iPhone 12. There is much here to love and grow into

FYI: No “Clean Out” / “Hide Interface” Setting

Love the feature set. Love that no personal data is collected. Sadly not what I need, or I’d buy it.

FYI: for anyone looking for a “clean out” for webcam or HDMI capture with the Apple camera adapter kit, this doesn’t have
that feature.

Unmatched value

As an early adopter, I have been very impressed with the developer’s commitment to adding value with each evolution of the app.

Best addition to my iPhone 14 pro max

This gives my phone capability for better pictures. Now my challenge is to improve my ability to match the cameras.

Cool features

But I get spinning wheel of death. Will it go away? Bought the app because of Forbes saying the iPhone SE hidden feature . Is the
se too slow?

It’s my Go-To Camera App

I use my iPad for a lot of general pictures and Halide has turned out as the best of the bunch. I rarely even open the others
anymore.

Where did your lock screen widgets go?

Updated the app and your lock screen widgets vanished. Please advise.

No trackers!!

I’m still learning how to use the app, but the privacy of not having all my data tracked and shared is amazing! I will
definitely pay for that.

Improves the iOS Camera app

Halide does a lot of stuff, but there are two features that made it indispensable:
1. Eliminates the hideous forced HDR mode.
2. Allows better control of macro mode.

Best camera app!

This is the best camera app! I only wish Apple would allow making this my default camera app so I could launch it from the lock
screen

Subscription required to take 48MP photos…..

So powerful!

$12/year subscription or $60 one time fee required to take 48MP photos and unlock all features of the app.

Pro photographer 10+

This app is amazing to use. Honestly I enjoy not bringing my DSLR or Mirrorless body when I don’t have to. My one wish is that
this app could Integrate with my Profoto speed lights. This would be the holy grail.

Perfect

The App is so simple to use but so powerful the photos that come out especially when edited in Raw power afterwards are
unbelievably awesome.

Wish White Balance was better

I like this app a lot but the white balance is very limited - I’d like to be able to set it and then lock it so that it
doesn’t change itself if the framing changes. I looked for instructions and couldn’t find this feature so If I’m wrong my
apologies. As is, the app isnt for me.

Alright

Was a good app for those wanting to shoot in raw but now that the IPhone 13-14 have added that feature I’ll be deleting this
app.

Orange skin tone in sunshine

On the iPhone 13 Pro, the automatic algorithm generates a weird orange skin tone for shots taken in the sunlight. There are a TON
of complaints about this on the internet regarding the 13 Pro camera and awful white balance management. Unfortunately this app
does not correct it.

Please improve stability

The app is laggy on iPhone 12. It lags on menus & it lags when taking a photo. Please fix and improve the core experience.

Crashing and overheats phone

App keeps crashing and opening up to Image Rescue after attempting macro photos. It also makes my 12 pro max get HOTTTT fast.

Displeased with update

Holiday Discount?

Is there any way to get a discount on the lifetime purchase for Christmas?

Good but lacks long exposure feature.

Was surprised to find another app or the native Camera app needed for long exposures.

At this price, am disappointed to need to buy and learn another app for that.

Still missing a important features

You still cannot set exposure compensation, iso etc digitally, like a on a numeric pad. Dragging controls may be intuitive but is
very slow and imprecise

Spectre Camera - Paid version wasn’t pro version?. I paid for this app $1.99 but I guess that wasn’t the pro version or was that before it became free?.

Football Head Coach 23 - Warren. It’s a great game I play it all the time but you have to wait days and hours each league game which is insanely annoying.

Titan War: Save Animals - Not happy with the last update. System crashes every time I deploy to do battle

The game is now totally unplayable and needs to be corrected now

Gave it 3 stars for previous game play, but if I just started it would be 1 star
