Even Longer Reviews

Just installed app. Strangely prior to activating the shutter the screen is blank. Even more strangely, when I click on app support, l’m taken to a non-existent web site. No tutorial, no FAQ, no nothing. Come on David Addison. You never mentioned this stuff.

Anyway, when shutter pressed, an image appears and EvenLonger produces a file. It would be nice to see what is going to be in the image in the first place. before shutter activation. Seems like at the moment EvenLonger is not ready for prime time.

Just purchased even-longer. Trying to learn the program but I can’t find and photos taken. They are not in my photos. Where are they? Can’t find help anywhere.

Purchased EvenLonger yesterday as recommended by Scott Kelby from KelbyOne but requires a monthly membership for all the features. I thought all features were already included for the initial purchase price. There are other apps for free that do more. Feels like a bait and switch. Would like a refund.

So far I see no instructions on to use EvenLonger especially at the price we had to pay for the pro version

Since I cannot find any way to contact the developer I am asking here. I use an iPhone 11 non pro. Many times I tap the shutter button and it becomes square and the last photo taken is black and the “viewfinder” is black. No photo is taken. Sometimes if I continue to tap shutter it will work. Other times it crashes and closes. Happens in both single frame and long exposure. Occasionally in long exposure mode (FA is all I’ve used) it will “catch up” and the shot will begin then end and the next begins until all shutter presses were registered. I have purchased the annual subscription hoping for the best. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. No joy. Having a camera that does not take photos is not what I want to pay for. When it works however, it is awesome. Two stars because of problems and no obvious way to contact support.

Just tried it tonight several times using different settings and every time it cuts off a good chunk of the photo. Support is in another language. Hopefully someone will read this review. Have hopes for EvenLonger.

A user guide would be helpful. Website is broken and/or useless. Paid my 30$. A bit disappointed in the lack of support. Guess I have to figure out how to use it properly on my own.

The Even longer App does not appear to be able to capture the 48mp raw files when using the 1x camera. Cuts it to 12mp. If there is a solution to this, please let me know. This should be mentioned somewhere obvious before purchasing

This is more of a question than a review I bought the even longer app. When I open it I can’t see the image where I I’m pointing my camera. I gave EvenLonger permission to use the camera. If I press the + button I only get a little square frame.

Issue has been solved

EvenLonger does excellent Star trails and light trails. Very smooth lines. However after the first picture the subsequent ones are tinted red/magenta. You have to close EvenLonger and reopen and the cycle starts again - first photo is okay and after that they are red. I’ve contacted support almost two weeks ago and haven’t heard anything back yet. If that issue can be fixed then EvenLonger would get 5 stars from me. When you’re doing a long exposure you can’t worry whether or not the photo will have the correct colors or end up being red.

Haven’t seen a way to utilize the IPhones 48mp camera like other apps I have used, but the control in EvenLonger is better than every other for the investment.

Not so much a review as a question. Curious if we’ll see 48mp RAW enabled on EvenLonger anytime soon for iPhone 14 pro users. Just purchased a life membership

I been trying to save photos for a week now and won’t save to my camera roll but saved in my files folder. App usually works great for me.

App will not save to camera roll. Thanks for your response. I had tested EvenLonger and it was saving to camera role, then stopped a couple days later. After the update, it is saving to camera role. Also found the images in the files app. Thanks

Being very impressed with its night photography capabilities, I upgraded to Pro. It’s the best in its class I’ve found so far. Can’t wait to see how it does with starry night skies!

EvenLonger is perfect and I don’t use that title lightly. I felt like no app is actually perfect, until I used EvenLonger after the recent updates (specifically, the inclusion of single frame shots).
How can a developer just get it so right? It’s literally perfect. There are predefined measurements for everything so you don’t have to use some dumb scrolling wheel trying to get to a specific ISO, or shutter speed or even EV value.
If I want to keep the lowest ISO while underexposing my images by -1, I just press the lowest ISO (not scroll and scroll until I get there), then I press -1 under the predefined measurements and I’m off to start shooting with not more fiddling around.
I’ve been looking for these features for so long and I’ve finally found it in an app that was primarily developed to take long exposure. That’s incredible.
Now I get that other apps have other fancy features, like adjusting your white balance by using a grey card for precise measurements, but that really only matters for those who predominantly shoot in jpg as raw gives you the flexibility to fine tune everything in post.
The point is, for actual photographers who are accustomed to using DSLRs, EvenLonger is designed with everything that we look for, front and center with no unnecessary added fluffs.
To me, EvenLonger is absolutely perfect.

This one of the most amazing App for photography. The quality of the the images are stunning. Who ever created EvenLonger, did an excellent job.
Now I can shot a really beautiful long exposure.
Thank you again.

Ok yes you pay a very modest fee to unlock RAW. The developer makes that clear so don’t complain about it.
I just shot numerous photos in dark conditions. These DNG files coming out of Even Longer destroy the Apple Camera DNG using night mode. I am still in disbelief at this point.
If anything goes weird I will let you know but so far I am thrilled.

Love EvenLonger . I will update my review once I have used it more.

Yes, I get it. You pay for the basic features then have to fork over for a subscription. But the basic features do give you a lot. At least enough for you to be able to throughly test EvenLonger to see if its good for YOU. I’ve gotten some really nice images with the basic feature set alone, but I do want RAW, so I’ll likely upgrade. At least the one time price is not so much that it’ll force you into a subscription, which I truly hate. I mean, look at Halide. $9.99 for one year, but $50 for lifetime? No thanks!
As for how well EvenLonger gives you long exposure capability on your phone, I find it way easier, and way more enjoyable, than using my DSLR. And you’ll pay a lot less for EvenLonger than you would for just one neutral density filter alone, which is a must-have for any meaningful slow shutter work on an SLR.
So look no further. Don’t buy SlowShutter Cam or Spectre, and spend your money on EvenLonger. You won’t be disappointed as I have been with those other apps.
