ProCamera Professional Camera Reviews

The complete lack of documentation that matches the current software version makes ProCameraProfessionalCamera problematic for serious photographers, which are its target audience. Simply put, the current "Quick Start" guide does not match the current software and there is no longer a full manual available. Why is this important? The iPhone camera and image processing pipeline have become more sophisticated, providing technology such as "Deep Fusion" and "Smart HDR," to provide enhanced imagery, and night mode, for low light situations. There is no way to know whether and/or how these technologies are used in Procamera's different camera modes. For example, HDR mode does not support ProRAW format. Does this means that Smart HDR is not used here? Does Smart HDR work into photo mode when parameters, such as shutter speed, are manually changed? (I suspect that Apple's Smart HDR has essentially replaced Procamera's HDR, but both still sit in the application.) More fundamentally, it is frustrating to refer to the Quick Start guide and find that the software does not work as documented. ProCameraProfessionalCamera has been around for many years and has not cleanly adapted to the changes in the iPhone camera system. As far as documentation goes: the developers have simply given up.

I was very excited to use this and take full advantage of my iPhones capabilities but I haven’t found ProCameraProfessionalCamera to be worth $8 ( even more after in app purchases). Shooting on an iPhone XS Max. The HDR modes all look terrible in my opinion (don’t buy the upgrade!). Taking pictures is slower and more clunky compared to native app. I like the curves and some of the editing features but it doesn’t feel like I’m getting much more than the adjustments I can do with the camera app. Lowlight (not +) takes way better low light pics than the native camera app so that’s the only thing I use it for so far. Colors without tweaking seem even more flat and desaturated than the already flat iPhone colors which I also don’t love without adjustment.

I hate writing this because I had high hopes but again, just not worth the price, ESPECIALLY with the add ons... $8 plus in app purchases seems like a crime for what you get. Not worth more than cheaper apps like camera+. I find myself preferring the native camera app 9/10 times :( Wish there was a refund option... sorry ProCamera team.

UPDATE: I was so excited when I saw they updated it to iPad and you can actually turn to landscape no issues and have the entire screen. But, now the auto adjustments are HORRIBLE! It used to get it right most of the time and I’d have to make little adjustments once in a while. Now it’s always waaaay too dark or waaaay too light. If I try to increase lighting to help it, then it’s waaaay too light and whitewashes everything. It’s crazy! It’s really frustrating using it like this!

ORIGINAL REVIEW: ProCameraProfessionalCamera was great! I absolutely loved it to be able to shoot professional quality photos with my phone. However, sometimes I want to shoot landscape mode. With ProCameraProfessionalCamera previously, I was able to turn my phone and get ProCameraProfessionalCamera to go landscape. It sometimes was a little touchy and would turn the whole app to go vertical again, but it usually wasn’t an issue. Now, it’s so touchy! I can only get it to go landscape if I am VERY slow about it and at a slight angle. Then when it’s landscape you have to have the phone flat. If you want to take it with the phone at an angle, ProCameraProfessionalCamera instantly turns to be vertical again. It’s seriously annoying! There should be a way to lock it in vertical or landscape and then unlock it when you want. That seems simple! I also wish they had a way to e recording video and restart so I didn’t have to create multiple videos and piece them together or cut out things.

I love ProCameraProfessionalCamera, especially its photo mode. However, video mode leaves a few things to be desired. First of all: zoom. While recording, zooming is soooo slow. It looks and feels like a low-end camcorder. I would like the ability to zoom at any speed I like, as one is able to do with a physical zoom lens on a real DSLR or video camera. A little smoothing would be nice, but the way it is currently is awful. Secondly, when recording in VGA resolution (I know, it's 2020, but it works great in low-light and has the old skate-vid vibe to it) the viewfinder is offset to the left and is partially obscured by the controls on that side of the screen. Being 4:3, why isn't it centered, like it is in photo mode? Thirdly, ProCameraProfessionalCamera was recently updated to support a few new video recording features, such as support for external microphones. However, in doing this, the interface is now ridiculously slow. I expected them to fix the problems already present in video mode, not add new ones.

I really love ProCameraProfessionalCamera but one option I'd like to see is the ability to record a video without sound. It's nice that the camera control sounds can be muted, but more often than not I don't want any sound being recorded. I live near a busy road and the sounds of the passing cars can be heard on the video. Or, when I'm trying to record when other people are nearby, I don't want their conversation in my video. I tried denying access to the microphone in settings but it isn't permitted. There are apps that can be used to edit videos to remove the audio, but that's more trouble than it's worth. Allowing users to restrict access to the microphone while recording a video would be a great feature. I cannot believe I'm the only user that would appreciate that option. Thank you, though, for all the other great features and continually enhancing ProCameraProfessionalCamera.

iPhone 12 Pro with iOS 16. Deleting multiple pictures crashes ProCameraProfessionalCamera . ProCameraProfessionalCamera seems very slow. App is missing gesture controls that are available throughout most of iOS. Feels a little weird. Example: when viewing images, you have to click a button in the top corner to go back to the camera instead of swiping like in the default camera app. Taking a picture ties up the camera for over a second while it saves and processes. I don’t even have any additional processing turned on. It takes way long than the default camera app to take images. I love the controls and features, but a few things are making ProCameraProfessionalCamera really rough on iOS 16. Update: thank you for the response and the update! It’s working much better now. The Deep Fusion doesn’t quite make sense on why it’s slow to allow me to take another photo when I can do it on the main camera app.

It is an amazing app. It really is. I have tried a lot of cameras on ProCameraProfessionalCamera Store but keep coming back to ProCamera because it truly has it all. However, after upgrading to an iPhone 14 Pro I find that a most manual controls, including the fantastic shutter priority mode do not work either with 48 MP captures or whenever HDR is active. They do mention in their site that Smart HDR is sort-of an “auto” feature so it has to be disabled for you to be able to control shutter speed or iso manually… but if you are in ProCameraProfessionalCamera , there is absolutely no indication of this. I took so many photos until I came to realize my chosen settings were not in the resulting image. Even knowing, it’s hard to keep track of this, since I can dial in settings that I am expecting to get, then later I remember (Oh, I forgot to turn off HDR). So please, disable the possibility of selecting things that do not work as expected. I am surprised by this, though. I was trying Halide which does support manual settings with 12 MP proRaw capture with smart HDR, so I guess it’s possible. I still think ProCamera is better than every other camera app out there. I just hope this gets fixed.

I have been a professional photographer for over 41 years starting out using canon and then using Pro Nikon cameras. So when it comes to camera settings I know them inside and out. I have purchased all the in app features like Raw Exposure bracketing, Auto Perspective correct, Private Lightbox, San Fran filter pack , food filter pack, Low light plus and vividHDR they are all worth the price paid. This is by far the best Pro Camera app in ProCameraProfessionalCamera Store. I have been using this when it first came out on ProCameraProfessionalCamera Store for several years now and it just keeps getting better every year. Now with the iPhone 14 pro max 48 megapixel camera it’s just as good as the pro dslr cameras. Now I can go on vacation and only have to bring my iPhone 14 pro max and take outstanding photos and videos using Pro Camera 16.0. I highly recommend ProCameraProfessionalCamera to everyone. Since using the new beta Pro Camera 16.0 app one feature that has been a huge help is the auto perspective correction feature that I have been using for Real Estate Photography no more distorted pictures just a one tap solution and your done. Every feature is a plus especially taking pictures in Low light. ProCameraProfessionalCamera definitely rates higher than 5 stars.

I've tried a number of camera apps and even thought I found the best with ProCam, but there's something about this UI that got me. Simple to use yet lots of fantastic features tucked away. I was sold with the the widget which opens ProCameraProfessionalCamera and is ready to shoot amazingly fast.

Editing tools are not as great as other apps, but I'd rather do editing on my computer for certain photos. RAW capability is awesome and the portrait mode is super fast and I love the ability to post-adjust the bokeh. Portrait mode has crashed ProCameraProfessionalCamera a few times for me and I've reached out to support on that.

I've been impressed with the customisation of modes and quite impressed with the LowLight feature for nighttime shots. Purchased LowLight+ with the noise reduction – amazing! Totally worth it. And the LUX feature is truly something. Close to getting the HDR feature. All in all ProCameraProfessionalCamera is feature-rich, fast, easy to use, and makes my photos look professional.

When I first got ProCameraProfessionalCamera, I really liked its interface and myriad of features. Hands down, this is much better than the native Photos app. However, in the past, whenever I would make any revisions or changes to a picture I’d taken within ProCameraProfessionalCamera , it used to save those pictures as separate files. I let them know of that concern, and they were professional in getting back with me on it quickly.

But now, with the 12.2 update, they answered my concerns, and for the first time, whenever I make any changes to a picture, it asks the question: “Allow ProCamera to modify this photo?” When I hit the modify button, it saves the edits to the EXISTING photo just like it does in the native Photos app.

This feature alone has now put it into the 5-star category for me, and it also saves on disk space! I highly recommend ProCameraProfessionalCamera.

Who needs a regular camera with this it's in your hand great features. I have had pro camera since it came out help fight to keep it on ProCameraProfessionalCamera Store now the next gen is here thank you very very much this is a must have if you use you iPhone for photos just get ProCameraProfessionalCamera it's easy to use and your photos will pop. Man Fantastic update when you update you update sweet even better. Just keeps getting better and better thanks for the update. Nice update and thanks for adding HDR was disappointed in the cost I hate in app purchases just hope it's not a habit but I have had pro camera since it came out its perfect I fought to keep it when Apple wouldn't let it update this is the best camera app period. You guys just keep getting better wow great update thanks. Another fantastic update. The update is great but the monthly charge for some is f the new updates just plain wrong no monthly revolving charge is better.

ProCameraProfessionalCamera has easily become my go to app. I’ve paid an embarrassing amount of money on other “Professional” video and photo apps. Others may be close in quality, but almost always lack in one way or another. Every beginner, new or longtime professional can benefit using ProCamera.

I’m obsessed with quality but I do not like to waste my time. This has everything I want in go-to planned or last minute photo/video app.

Max your video/photo quality on the fly for any occasion. If you are a beginner, I can’t stress enough how valuable ProCamera is!

For the professional:
All the options you want in speedy creative work environment!

- Video File Recovery, Creative Cloud Integration, File Formats, Non-destructive Photo Editing and more. The developers are always adding more and more features all the time.

Cons/Wishlist:
More times than not, when I want to quickly record and share a video on social media, I have music streaming on my phone that I’d like to continue playing while I record. Just about every video app available silences the audio playing in the background the moment you open ProCameraProfessionalCamera or begin recording. My easiest option at that point is to use the social media platform’s in-app camera.

PLEASE, consider adding the ability to record without the phone audio silencing! If you are feeling great today, some basic video editing options to trim and adjust the video brightness and color temperature would be amazing!

Search no more my friends, you have hit the jackpot in camera apps! I'm embarrassed to admit, since I am a photographer'l but I have spent a ridiculous amount of money on pathetic camera apps that nearly all of them fell short of a crappy one star review. Take it from someone that took a punch in the bank account. Read the reviews here, these are not people paid to lie for pure entertainment purposes. If I had done that I would of saved myself some serious cash and would of also saved myself from a lot of painful headaches from not getting the shot I wanted. PRO CAMERA has done a complete overhaul on ProCameraProfessionalCamera and although it was a Phenomenal app before it is now a spectacular photography app. If you are into iPhone photography dump every other app you got and get this one and if you’re a beginner then your photos are about to get a whole lot better. Thank you to the developers and just a huge Kudos to everyone under the hood of PROCAMERA/Coclogics

I purchased ProCameraProfessionalCamera as soon as I got the iPhone X that I pre-ordered. I had never tried anything other than the normal Camera app on my older iPhones last one I had before the X was the 6. It was painful purchasing that iPhone X for over a grand for the 256 GB but once I downloaded ProCameraProfessionalCamera and started using it, totally worth it. Added on to how great the phone was in other aspects. I help my parents manage a five-star resort in the mountains. I needed to take a lot pictures for our new website I was creating for the resort. Not knowing what to do without purchasing an expensive camera or paying someone. It’s been 2 1/2 years now since I took those pictures and people are still amazed on how great the pictures turned out not even knowing that they were from my phone. I will say that I now have the iPad Pro 2018 model and I can’t get as good of photos with just the one camera. Not that I need 2 insane cameras anyway. I am still using that iPhone X and dropping jaws on the photos it comes out with completely because of ProCameraProfessionalCamera.

THE BEST!!! First I’ve been using ProCameraProfessionalCamera since the iPhone 4S now on my iPhone 13 Pro Max still the best - Photo quality choices, choices, choose TIFF etc. Photo, Video, HDR, Night mode, Q scanner, Builtin editing, filters & more. Crop W/built-in sizes, flip horizontal, straighten. Flashlight with different brightness setting's, choice of App library or iPhone Photo library. Choice whether or not to keep photos or delete later right from ProCameraProfessionalCamera ! Shooting in HDR automatically keeps both HDR & regular photos or just HDR when editing photos keeps original image I think this is the best photo app I've used on my iPhone 6 or 4s & I do believe I had the previous version/app on my 3Gs? It's still the best & running great on my iPhone 13 running iOS 18.4 but you will have to learn how to use it! There are a lot of options although you can make it simple or use it as an expert in (expert mode) which is still easy once you get the hang of it. I think using the previous version helped me to move to the newer versions. Best of luck...

I must admit, if all developers were half as dedicated to their products like the ones for ProCamera the iPhone would hold close to 75% of the global mobile phone market. One they are dedicated to Apple, (least that’s my impression) two it’s frightening how obsessive they are over ProCameraProfessionalCamera! ( I’m serious! If I didn’t no better I’d think it’s not people in charge but a male/female AI program gone rouge and ProCameraProfessionalCamera is their offspring, you can feel how protective and proud they are over ProCameraProfessionalCamera.) Three they care about us the consumer! It’s a crime if and that this team has not been picked up by some Fortune 500 and given straightforward instructions then free reign to protect and care for your very important project! I don’t give reviews often, when I do it’s cause I believe. I have benefited from ProCameraProfessionalCamera much much more then the 5 bucks I paid. I don’t know if this is the best camera app on the market... but I am thoroughly convince the people behind (or AI Momma/Poppa if robots take over I’m pointing Harrison, Will, Sigourney right at you. Snitching Hard!!!) this product... if they say their 2 hard press to find 1. There efforts are deserving of this review
Period!

I always needed more from the stock camera, and being forced To shoot photos in HEIF is super annoying as you loose significant amount of quality from a extremely good sensor and optics. ProCameraProfessionalCamera solves all of my issues and probably yours as well! The ability to take photos in TIFF unlocks three times as much detail when pinching to zoom it’s incredible and gives larger sensors in the other phones a serious run for their money. ProCameraProfessionalCamera obviously gives you full and total professional control of every camera aspect including a legit histogram! Actually several to choose from from live feed to approximate ProCameraProfessionalCamera is next level and Apple needs to take some serious notes. Bracketing HDR photo mode with up to 7 burst shots for some seriously dramatic imagery is next level and smokes the measly 4 bust photo shot Apple does with its stock app. And ProCameraProfessionalCamera even supports Dolby vision HDR at 4K 24,30 and 60fps and it removes that nasty block rolling shutter artifact from inadequate lifting you get with the stock app. All I have to say is spend the $10 and enjoy the best camera hardware you can get one a phone with software to match its capabilities!

The new low light + feature is amazing. I was searching all around online to find a night sight camera app for my XS Max. I came across ProCameraProfessionalCamera (ProCamera), neuralcam and procam 7 as apps that where recommended online by you tubers and online media outlets. I couldn’t decide and none offered free trials so I just purchased all three apps and spent close to $30 for all of them. I can tell you the $12 - $16 you spend on ProCameraProfessionalCamera (app $8, HDR $4, low light + $4) is worth it. I did a low light comparison between the three and this one by far could get the brightest and clearest picture, if you enable lux it has almost no grain in the photos and the image can get very bright. A grainy photo is my biggest pet peeve with cameras. I am super impressed with whatever magic it is that they run in the background after it compiles all the photos it takes. I wish I could return the other apps but it’s too late. Save yourself some money by skipping the other apps and just get this one with the in app purchases. With ProCameraProfessionalCamera, I do not feel that I have to upgrade to the iPhone 11/pro’s to get a great night sight feature. I look forward to seeing whatever else this developer has instore for future additions.

We all have certain requirements we look for in a camera app. The tools to capture an image with ProCameraProfessionalCamera, lacks very little for me. In fact none readily come to mind. It is a well supported app, in constant refinement where new additional features seem to occur with regularity. They provide resources on using the camera and all of it’s feature. Notifications are sent out on current upgrades, which I greatly appreciate. If you are looking for a new camera, I’d venture to guess it is because you feel that your your talent needs exceed your current app’s capabilities or the features you want are either lacking finesse or completely missing. I obviously recommend you give this a try, I find the price of admission, offers any photographer the quality tools needed for great image making. I have not touched on the rich editing features of ProCameraProfessionalCamera. I will come back later to fill that in. This review comes from three months of consistent daily use.

New additional feature has appeared. The user now has the ability to shoot B&W with live view, by simply toggling a switch off or on. The B&W is nondestructive, so it can be converted back to a color image at anytime.

I am a career shooter owning all things Canon and Carl Zeiss. My main shooter is the 1DX. I love playing with depth and very sharp images. My post edit ware is Capture One by Phase One and Lightroom.
ProCameraProfessionalCamera can do in seconds what I have paid tens of thousands of dollars to try to do with very heavy, bulky and expensive gear that I usually have to haul around with me to get my shots.
If you ask me if an iPhone using ProCameraProfessionalCamera can replace my top gear, then the true answer is... well, yes in many cases this would in fact rival results from an average shooter with a DSLR. It has tons of post edit adjustments. I will still use my big gear on dedicated shoots, but I will not take it with me as much as before. Please keep in mind that my iPhone is the new one with dual cameras. A single lens phone camera will not have such depth.
A very well done to the developers of this very fine and stable application. Kudos.
