Description

**Please note Halide is not free. We offer a 7-day free trial for annual memberships. Don't like subscriptions? You can also buy the app outright with a single in-app purchase.**

Halide is an Apple Design Award winning, acclaimed camera from the team behind Spectre, Apple's App of the Year of 2019.

Halide is the most powerful camera for iPhone with the most elegant, simple design — A pro camera for everyone.

This is a groundbreaking app for deliberate and thoughtful photography. With high-end tools, and a beautiful interface designed from scratch for the latest iPhones and inspired by the controls of professional cameras, Halide is your go-to camera when you want to really take a photo rather than a quick snapshot.

Use gestures in Halide to change exposure and manual focus with a swipe, or switch from its powerful automatic mode to manual shooting. Halide’s professional tools are the most powerful in the App Store, with XDR (Extended Dynamic Range) 14-bit RAW streaming waveform views, color zebras, focus assists like focus peaking and loupe, histograms, an adaptive level grid, and manual depth capture. Customize controls to adapt the app to your needs.

Halide’s ProRAW support* is unmatched. Strike the right balance between file size and editing latitude by choosing between 12-bit and 10-bit ProRAW, with or without JPEG sidecars. Effortlessly switch to native RAW, for greater detail and speed.

Features:
- Beautiful, intuitive gesture-based interface, usable with one hand
- Take portraits of pets and objects on single-camera phones, like iPhone XR and iPhone SE
- Manual focus, and powerful tools like a Focus Loupe and Focus Peaking
- Smart automatic mode with Halide Smart RAW, optimizing settings with Machine Learning for RAW files with less noise and more detail
- Full manual exposure controls including shutter speed, ISO and white balance
- Best-on-iPhone exposure tools: histograms, XDR 14-bit RGB waveform, and color zebra stripes
- Captures RAW, TIFF, HEIC or JPG for the best quality shots
- Grid overlay with built-in level
- A powerful reviewer to view DNG, JPG, HEIC and Live Photos, as well as Portrait depth data and mattes, with a detailed metadata view - with batch export!
- Instant RAW development process to quickly develop your RAW files in a tap
- Technical Readout to view all details of your iPhone camera hardware
- Apple Watch companion app for remote shooting
- Siri Shortcuts support to trigger the shutter remotely, or open Halide in Auto or Manual mode
- Become a better photographer by signing up for comprehensive lessons like a 10-day quick tutorial right from the app.
- Private by Design: Halide does not include any trackers or tracking, has not third party libraries, does not collect data or photos, and never transmits any information. Halide also includes features to reduce spying by companies like Facebook by limiting location information on photos shared from the app.
- Feature limitations:

*ProRAW requires iPhone 12 Pro or Pro Max or newer
The Ultra Wide and selfie cameras do not support RAW or manual focus unless on iOS 15.
Waveform requires iPhone 8 or newer
Depth Capture requires iPhone 7 Plus or newer

Version history

2.13.4
2023-10-25
We're constantly working to make the app better based on your feedback and bug reports! 

This update:

- Fixes an issue where the format button and / or control readout in the top were being cropped by the screen cutout on iPhone 13 and 14 series phones
- Addresses a rare issue in manual mode with the flashlight
- Fixes an issue where phones on older versions of iOS would sometimes run into an error while taking a photo in landscape mode or other situations

Remember, if you're running into problems, you can always reach our tiny team via in-app support or just an email to [email protected]. We're here to help, and we're working really hard on making the app great. If you love Halide, please leave us a review in the App Store! It really helps.

Back to the big update:


Lights. Camera. Action Button.

Halide 2.13 is here, and it’s an especially powerful update for all our iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max users. Not only do we pack in support to get the best shots from your new cameras — we enable you to do something that no camera on an iPhone has ever been able to do.

Let’s dig in.

ACTION BUTTON AND IN-APP TRIGGERS

Action button on iPhone lets you quickly call up an app from anywhere or even perform a set of actions with a Shortcut. But Halide takes this even further: with the new Action Button menu in Halide, you can configure your Action button to trigger Halide features. Outside of Halide, pressing the Action button will open Halide, but in Halide, it can:


- Toggle manual or autofocus
- Cycle through your lenses
- Switch between auto and manual exposure modes
- Switch between 12 and 48MP capture modes
- Toggle RAW capture
- and even capture a photo! (though, with a delay - we suggest using the volume button instead)

We also offer a quick setup and help with configuring the Action button to just open Halide with no triggers, or a custom Halide Shortcut that opens a menu with various options like Silent mode, Flashlight, Rotation Lock, Camera Video, Camera Photo and Halide*.

This lets you set up and use the new button in ways you’ve never even imagined. We’re really excited to see what you think and how you’re going to be using it!

*please note that using other actions or shortcuts than ‘Open Halide with In-App Triggers’ will disable In-App Triggers.

ZERO SHUTTER LAG

When you tap capture, it will immediately capture what was in the viewfinder. Note: it cannot support the following modes:

- Flash Photos
- Manual-Exposure
- Dual-Camera Depth Photos (i.e. “Constituent Photo Delivery”)
- Bracket captures (e.g. SmartRAW)

RESPONSIVE CAPTURE

When you smash that capture button, we may temporarily reduce quality to prioritize speed and ensure you don't lose any shots. You can disable this in settings.

HDR RENDERING

We now render HDR in the photo reviewer

2.13.1
2023-10-19
Welcome to Halide 2.13.1! This is a fix and enhance update to our previous big update, 2.13. While some photographers love double exposures, we spotted an issue where some photos got accidental double exposures with HDR effects. We've removed this unsolicited creative effect and also improved responsiveness in capture and other minor issues.

2.12.1
2023-09-28
iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro users — we got you. We're hard at work on our next big thing, but for now we're bringing you this small update just for you. 

You now have access to our "Format" button adjacent to the dynamic island, which lets you know the file-format you're capturing at a glance. In our home and Lock Screen widgets, we've updated our telephoto shortcut label to say "5×" on the iPhone 15 Pro. Stay tuned, because we have a much bigger update in the works!

HALIDE 2.12: EXTRA RESPONSE

It's that special time of year when new devices arrive from Cupertino, along with a big OS update to support them. But these updates can also breath new life into existing phones, and we're harnessing that with Halide 2.12. For a long, detailed description of what's new (with photos), be sure to check out our website, https://lux.camera, but read on for a summary that fits in release notes!

ZERO SHUTTER LAG

In the past, when you pressed that capture button, what you saw in your viewfinder wasn't always the photo that got captured. In the best case, it would capture the *next* image that arrived at your sensor. With this update, no more!

Behind the scenes, your iPhone is constantly capturing photos-- it just isn't doing anything with them. Now when you press that capture button, your iPhone look back on those recently photos and figures out which one was visible in the viewfinder at the time. Now what you see is what you get!

Zero Shutter Lag is not available in every capture configuration. For more details, check out our website.

RESPONSIVE CAPTURE

When you have all of the iPhone's advanced photo processing enabled, if you quickly smash that capture button, you'll find that the iPhone has difficulty keeping up. Rather than crash, your iPhone stops taking photos for a moment while it catches up. Unfortunately, this could cause you to miss the perfect photo. No more!

With responsive capture-- which is enabled by default-- your iPhone will dynamically cut down on processing when it detects that you're capturing a lot of photos at once. You may lose Deep Fusion and SmartHDR, but at least you won't lose the shot. If you don't like this behavior, and want to ensure all processing happens all the time, there's a setting to turn this off.

HDR RENDERING

In the last few years, new devices have been released that can display bright images than ever before. You'll really notice this when you take a photo of a very bright object, like a lightbulb. It just seems to pop more on "High Dynamic Range" (HDR) screens.

Believe it or not, for years iPhones have been capturing photos that contain this extra brightness, and saving them in your photos. You wouldn't know, because there was no way for outside developers to actually show these HDR photos. Until now! With our latest Halide update, the highlights in your HDR images will now show in all their brightness.

BUG FIXES
With every OS update comes new features and new... surprises... we had to fix. This update contains those fixes, such as our widgets having their borders cropped incorrectly. Hey, we aren't perfect, so we've also taken some time to address our own bugs. For example, we rewrote our icon picker screen to fix layout glitches.

If you run into anything we haven't caught, be sure to email us at [email protected], and we'll get right on it. And don't forget to tag your photos #ShotWithHalide for a chance to be featured in our social media accounts.

We hope you enjoy this first update of fall, because we have a lot more in store!

HALIDE 2.11: NEURAL TELEPHOTO

This update goes out to the regular, non Pro iPhone users who need a little extra detail in their shots. Why should the iPhone Pro have all the zoom-fun? We're excited to launch a feature we call "Neural Telephoto."

Neural Telephoto gives non-Pro iPhones that lack a physical telephoto lens a new power. Think of it as a virtual telephoto lens. Normally, when you zoom in on an image using software, you get blurry results, and diagonal lines look a bit jagged. With Neural Telephoto, we enhance details in zoomed shots by applying the same machine-learning system that powers our acclaimed macro mode — giving you a new, virtual 2× lens for free!

Obviously software can't beat a real telephoto lens on an iPhone Pro, but Neural Telephoto preserves details better than most software. We’re excited to finally bring a feature to our non-Pro iPhone users, too. We think you all deserve it.

A note for the Pros: Neural Telephoto shots will be zoomed and enhanced using machine learning in HEIC and JPEG, but will capture an unedited, unzoomed full RAW file for you to adjust if you so desire. By default, Halide will shoot in RAW + JPEG mode, which will give you an un-altered RAW file along with a zoomed and enhanced JPEG file. We think it’s the best of both worlds; no surprises or less-than-RAW output.

This update also brings small design enhancements and improvements throughout for all our users.

Whew, that’s it! Let us know what you think and share your Neural Telephoto shots with us! Find us on Instagram at @halidecamera, on Twtiter as @halideapp and new: you can also follow us on Mastodon at [email protected] And don't forget to tag your photos #ShotWithHalide for a chance to be featured!

If you have any issues or suggestions, please let us know at [email protected].

2.10.4
2023-01-19
We're right now putting the finishing touches on our next big update. In the meantime, here are a few bug fixes and localizations to tide you over! It builds on our huge 2.10.0 release. In case you missed it...

-----

READY FOR OUR CLOSE-UP
Today we’re excited to bring you Halide 2.10 - bringing an intelligent-binned 2× zoom to our iPhone 14 Pro users, along with updates to Depth mode (focus peaking!), speedups and fixes all around.
Halide 2.10 follows closely on Halide 2.9, which brought your favorite camera app to new heights with 48 megapixel capture support, 12MP binned capture, 48 megapixel HEIC capture and more!

WHAT’S NEW:

48/12MP PRORAW
Capture ProRAW 48 or 12 megapixels on iPhone 14 Pro, including with manual settings!
This update lets you shoot with the maximum quality or lower processed ProRAW right in Halide. Take photos with full manual control, including 10 or 12-bit for smaller filesizes. Note: native RAW is not available in 48MP, only 12MP.

48/12MP QUICK TOGGLE
Quickly toggle between 48 and 12 MP capture with a long-press on the format picker!
You don’t always want the long capture time, huge file sizes and noise of a 48MP file. Halide lets you quickly jump from 48 to 12 MP captures on iPhone 14 Pro, putting you in control with a tap.

48MP HEIC/JPG CAPTURE
Take advantage of the huge new detailed 48 megapixel sensor by taking 48MP processed images, straight to HEIC or JPG depending on your settings. These files come in as little as 1/25th the size of a 48MP ProRAW file and capture 2.5× faster, while retaining incredible detail.

MF IN DEPTH
That’s right: we are bringing manual focus to Depth Capture. Manual focus is now enabled on the new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro front-facing cameras, for exact manual focus. We have extended Depth mode to now allow for manual focus in addition to depth on all iPhones that support it! Whoa. It's a crazy effect, and we hope you have fun with it.

ALSO NEW:
• Further improvements to Image Rescue - ahead of future iOS updates, you might still need Image Rescue if iOS fails to save images to your Photos library. This bug will soon be fixed.
• Updates to our awesome new Lock Screen widgets, letting you use Halide from your Lock Screen
This is our first release on this major new iPhone camera, so please continue to send us any bugs, issues or other feedback you have when you install this update on something new and shiny. Thank you!

We want to make one thing super clear: we will always support and thank you for being with us from the start. Halide, including all its Mark II features and the features we released in upgrades 2,5 years since are unlocked and enabled for you forever. While newer features like the Lock Screen widgets will require upgrading, we’ll make sure that you continue to get essential compatibility updates and keep the app you love.

If you have issues, or feedback, please write us — we want to hear from you. Thank you!
2.10.3
2023-01-11
This update fixes works around some quirks in iOS. If you're a Halide 1 user who upgraded to Mark II but you're still seeing a message about upgrading, there's now a clear "Restore" button in the upper right to restore your purchase.

As always, if you have any feedback or bug reports, just let us know at [email protected]. To stay up to date on the latest news, be sure to follow us at [email protected] or HalideApp on Instagram. And don't forget to tag your photos #ShotWithHalide for a chance to be featured!

This update builds on our previous 2.10.0 release. In case you missed it...

Quickly toggle between 48 and 12 MP capture with a long-press on the format picker!
You don’t always want the long capture time, huge file sizes and noise of a 48MP file. Halide lets you quickly jump from 48 to 12 MP captures on iPhone 14 Pro, putting you in control with a tap.

48MP HEIC/JPG CAPTURE
Take advantage of the huge new detailed 48 megapixel sensor by taking 48MP processed images, straight to HEIC or JPG depending on your settings. These files come in as little as 1/25th the size of a 48MP ProRAW file and capture 2.5× faster, while retaining incredible detail.

MF IN DEPTH
That’s right: we are bringing manual focus to Depth Capture. Manual focus is now enabled on the new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro front-facing cameras, for exact manual focus. We have extended Depth mode to now allow for manual focus in addition to depth on all iPhones that support it! Whoa. It's a crazy effect, and we hope you have fun with it.

ALSO NEW:
• Further improvements to Image Rescue - ahead of future iOS updates, you might still need Image Rescue if iOS fails to save images to your Photos library. This bug will soon be fixed.
• Updates to our awesome new Lock Screen widgets, letting you use Halide from your Lock Screen
This is our first release on this major new iPhone camera, so please continue to send us any bugs, issues or other feedback you have when you install this update on something new and shiny. Thank you!

We want to make one thing super clear: we will always support and thank you for being with us from the start. Halide, including all its Mark II features and the features we released in upgrades 2,5 years since are unlocked and enabled for you forever. While newer features like the Lock Screen widgets will require upgrading, we’ll make sure that you continue to get essential compatibility updates and keep the app you love.

If you have issues, or feedback, please write us — we want to hear from you. Thank you!

HALIDE FOR IPHONE 14 PRO AND IPHONE 14


Please welcome Halide 2.9! This update brings the most powerful camera app to new heights with support for 48 megapixel ProRaws, 48 megapixel HEICs/JPEGs, and more. With faster capture and smaller file sizes, Halide is the perfect companion for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro.

WHAT’S NEW: 48/12MP PRORAW

You can now capture ProRAW in 48 or 12 megapixels on iPhone 14 Pro, including with manual settings. Like all of our ProRAW support, you can choose between maximum quality or lower file sizes, and you can decide just how much processing you want on the image. Note: due to limitations within iOS, native RAW is currently not available at 48MP, but you can still capture 12MP binned native RAWs.

48MP HEIC/JPG CAPTURE

Take advantage of the huge new detailed 48 megapixel sensor by taking 48MP processed images, straight to HEIC or JPG depending on your settings. Not only do these files come in as little as 1/10th the size of a 48MP ProRAW file, they also capture 2.4x faster— all while retaining incredible detail.

48/12MP QUICK TOGGLE

48 MP photos have their tradeoffs. While you get higher resolution, they require more storage space and have more noise. Luckily, we make it quick easy to toggle between 48 MP and 12 MP: just long press the file format button and you’ll see your options!

MF IN DEPTH

That’s right: we are bringing manual focus to Depth Capture. Manual focus is now enabled on the new iPhone 14 and 14 Pro front-facing cameras, so we've extended Depth mode to allow for manual focus *in addition* to depth! Whoa. It's a wild effect, and we hope you have fun with it.

We’re incredibly proud, humbled and overwhelmed to announce we have won the Apple Design Award 2022 in Visuals & Graphics!

We're incredibly honored to receive an Apple Design Award, and want to take a moment to thank you. Yes, you! We couldn't have reached this milestone without the support of all of you who use Halide, who send us their photos and your feedback, who tell their friends and family and colleagues about our small app that we love to build so much.

We are so tremendously grateful and happy to bring you this news, and with that, celebrate Halide’s 5th birthday! Thank you for an amazing five years, and we're looking forward to many more!

Oh. The update? This update fixes an issue where Halide might unexpectedly close after tapping the review link in Settings.

A Recap of our Last Big Update

THE NEW IMAGE RESCUE

Last year, we began hearing scattered reports users unable to save photos. We dug deep into the issue last year, and found that this was a bug within iOS, and not Halide. While there was nothing that we could do fix it, we did report the issue to Apple, who have *mostly* fixed the problem.

Still, we don't like the idea of any of our users losing photos, whether or not it's our bug. So we've updated our "Image Rescue" feature to deal with the problem. When iOS refuses to save photos, Halide will store a copy within the app, so you can just keep snapping. Of course we’ll show you a notification that something is up, but you're welcome to ignore the problem until later.

When you’re ready to get your photos out of Halide, just open our photo reviewer. You'll notice a big banner at the top explaining that we saved your photos. Tap on it, and we'll show you the photos we saved. From there, you can either try to save them again (because sometimes this iOS bug fixes itself) or you can tap the action button in the upper right to share them off your phone some other way, such as AirDropping them to your Mac.

While we were knee deep in rewriting our reviewer code, we used this opportunity to renovate our photo reviewer…

THE NEW GRID VIEW

Today we deliver a long requested feature: batch actions on photos. Just tap the "Select" button in the upper right, and then tap the photos you want to act on to select them. You can tap the Trash icon to delete them, or the Action button for... other actions. Like sending them to another app.

In the grid view, you’ll also notice that we show a heart over the photos you've favorited. This seems like a small thing, but it's super useful. After a shoot, you can just favorite the best photos, and use the batch selection feature to quickly delete the rest.

That’s not all— you can now long press on a single photo in the grid view to bring up a preview and context menu. You can quickly favorite, delete, or share a photo, or even open it in one of our supported editors.

Finally, we know it's a annoying when you're in the full-screen reviewer and want to go back to the grid view. You have to reach your thumb aaaaall the way to the upper left to tap that grid button. Good news! We've added a gesture! Just swipe *up* from your photo to jump into the grid view. Don't worry, you can still swipe *down* to return to the camera. Trust us, you use this new gesture for a while, you'll love it.

If you have any feedback for our next big release, please let us know at [email protected]. And don't forget to tag your photos #ShotWithHalide for a chance to be featured on our Twitter and Instagram. As we said at the beginning, we have a very exciting year ahead, and we hope these changes lay an exciting framework for what's to come!

Okay, realistically, I’ll probably never use this app. I’m one of those old skool types who needs to see the world through a viewfinder. No screens will suffice (except for post prod). HOWEVER - these guys do it right, IMHO. They tell you right up front that Halide ain’t free, but give you a reasonable subscription cost and a week to see if it’s worth it. Hate subscriptions? (I do) Okay, you can buy it outright (though it IS a bit expensive to do so). Better yet - no data scavenging. Funny how so many people think everything should be free for them. Free healthcare, free education, free music, free movies, free apps. Folks, ain’t NOTHIN free. Somebody, somewhere is paying for it all, and eventually the tab will make its way back around to you in some fashion. Devs need to buy groceries too. When you find one that’s up front about it, offers a quality product and doesn’t try to soak you a week’s pay for it (oh, that’s right… you probably work for free too. My bad.) maybe crack your wallet open just a bit and show them some love.

Good Interface but Buggy
I am on Halide’s trial. I love the interface. I really think that the interface AND the macro mode are the biggest strengths of this app (I’m on an iPhone 14 Pro). I love being able to change formats, choose raw + jpeg right there on the main screen, and I also love to adjust exposure compensation with a swipe up or down. Unfortunately whenever ProRaw is used there’s a bigger delay than what we get on the native iPhone camera. It doesn’t matter if it’s 12 MP or 48 MP, the native camera allows you to shoot back-to-back shots faster, and that’s important for me (as I do a lot of street or documentary photography). Also. The volume up button is supposed to work as shutter release, but it’s buggy and sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. I’ve found auto-focus to be also a problem. It doesn’t auto-recognize faces as the native camera does and will often focus on objects that are closer instead. When in manual mode the controls are a bit confusing, it’s hard to change speed only without messing with ISO… I wish there was a shutter priority mode. Oh… and manual mode doesn’t work on 48 MP captures. I honestly would not mind paying for the subscription if what I mentioned here is fixed - the autofocus problems, the delay between proraw shots, the volume up shutter, a more intuitive manual mode or shutter priority mode. As it is now I think I’ll continue using the native camera.
Mysterio770,
Amazing!
I’m new to IPhone photography and I have an IPhone XR “yes I know the 12 is out “ but that’s not an option for me right now lol. I poured over review after review on which camera app was best for me as a beginner and was instantly drawn to Halide even though I was Nervous I wouldn’t understand how to use it. I went back-and-forth for about a week and all of a sudden the mark two announcement was made. I took that as a sign since Halide had already been out for a bit. With only a couple days using the app I have to say I feel like it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made on the App Store. The ability have the raw, JPEG and the mixed image is amazing Because it gives beginners the ability to actually see the difference side-by-side. The UI is very clean elegant and calm and very much appreciated by a noob like myself. I’m still in my Trial period but my photos look amazing and I cannot stop taking pictures lol. Super excited to edit some of my raw photos this evening. To all my newbies out there who may be in a position like I was where you want the best quality but you also need it to be cost effective and future proof you will not regret Halide . Ben, Sebastiaan,Rebecca,
Thank you for a beautiful product and Cheers to you all.

From Premium to Subscription
I'm so very fed up and very, very tired of greedy and unethical developers like these two. Who make all they can from selling an app as a premium, one-time purchase. Then they succumb to greed and avarice and change their initially premium app into another filthy subscription. It's truly unethical, immoral and abhorrent behavior and very fitting of the lowest of the low crooks. This type of scummy and low rent behavior is sadly quite commonplace now among App Store developers.

Then they offer a new one-time purchase of $35 dollars! Gee, how very generous, thank you so very much... I already paid for this app as a premium program. But, sure, let me give you even more money or pay you forever via the subscription plan for an app I already owned and paid good money for, just so I can continue to receive updates. Developers like you two make the App Store such an unpleasant and shady place to do business.

I don't care for your dishonest remarks about why you pulled such a massive bait-and-switch by changing this app from premium to another disgusting subscription plan. Because it's simply just lies and is just saying the exact same tired, pathetic line as all the other crooked developers and businesses that pull this underhanded scam on their once trusting and once loyal customers. You should be ashamed of your seriously unethical and immoral actions. I wouldn't give you the lint in my pockets now. I hope you two enjoy all your ill gotten gains.
JohnnyIsland,
Do not pay for this application until you read this
Phone being used: iPhone 11 Pro
Length spent with application: 1.5 years

I first started using this application on my iPhone X, over a year ago. It was probably my favorite camera go to app. It really used to feel like the company was thriving on a great idea that had never been seen on an iPhone before and they took the time to fine tune it. A lot has changed and here is its current state. It has now turned into a very hit or miss application. The app crashes from taking a depth photo and from that, the photo taken is never saved. Most of the features will crash the app as well. Even switching from different camera lenses will crash the thing. I feel like the company has realized they are at a loss for innovation. They are no longer spending resources on R&D let alone basic maintenance hours. I’m sure we will start to notice less and less updates, until it eventually gets lost among the rest. Please do not waste your money. Wait for them to prove me wrong and make the necessary bug fixes. FYI, A typical active company has two week sprints. At the end of each sprint, an update is pushed to insure continued application maintenance. Feature releases take a lot longer and are usually multiple sprints but bug fixes are not.
PhelineCat,
Four years on… (unusable, I guess)?
10/22- Looks like I was quite negative about Halide 4 years ago. It seems a lot has changed. I probably had version 1.x.x then. I’m methodically examining apps especially cameras (why waste time w/bad photos?) and notes (love Apple Notes but it can crash every 30 seconds!) I appreciate the trial and outright purchase. Like everyone else I despise subscriptions but these are inexpensive enough annually I’d pay. ASAP I’ll try this (with iPhone 11 Pro Max and/or iPad Pro 12.9 5th Gen) and see what happens. Bumped up to 3⭐️ from 1🌟 for optimism, updates, cheap subscription(if you do them), chance to buy.
——————————————— 6/18 Even with a new 6+ with few apps installed it still crashes. I forgot it even exists until I was looking for something to filter out all reds to get a dog’s perspective on things. I suppose I’ll take my dog’s philosophical perspective on this app and just let go... ———————————————- Earlier...Constantly crashes on my 6 Plus so I'm unfamiliar with it; all I've experienced with it is like it's any other basic decent manual iOS camera app. There once was a manual but it’s obsolete. Maybe I'll delete other apps until it functions, pepper the devs with questions, or give up.
Zatise,
Top of the world!!! Nothing better!!!
First thing first; I have been a user from day one. I started taking pictures on my iPhone as a hobby, but I had no idea what I was doing. I took a photography class in college and someone told me about this app and it’s been magic and great times ever since!!!!

It’s frustrating to see people get on her and bash these people about their own misunderstandings of what Mark 2 means for mark 1. As someone who purchased the app early I still get to enjoy the features of this new app for no extra charge!!!! Most devs try and force you into buying the new app because they drop support for the old on, not these Devs. Updates until Dec 21 is fair.

The functionality and ease of shooting has allowed me to take some breath taking shots, I have even started making picture books for my friends. I love the tutorials within the app, would be cool to have a section were you offer classes on how to shot with a mobile camera, It would make the subscription model more appealing to those who may not want to go pay more than the original cost and help to bring in Mobile users who may feel intimidated by all the features or just want to learn mobile photography, you could even offer a subscription for the classes alone if advertised correctly(worked in sales for a few years now, I know how to sell a product especially one this cool).

Anyway 5 stars!!!! Amazing app and I’m looking forward to your future. Keep killing!!!!

XR Camera Dream Come True
I’m a designer and DSLR photographer, so the camera features on my phone is a big deal to me. When I upgraded from a 6, I was torn between the XS and XR. I’d been gravitating toward the XR due to the colors, battery life, price, and better lowlight photos, but was devastated it only had portrait mode for people. I heard about Halide finding a solution to this problem, so I went with the XR and bought this app. I took a photo of my dog and I’m in love with its ability to pretty accurately map out data for bokeh shots. My photo went straight to the default apple photos app, and reads it as a portrait photo now so I can adjust the blur like I can on people portraits. The only setback is not seeing bokeh in live mode, but it’s no biggie and who knows what exciting features future updates will bring.

Thank you Ben & Sebastiaan for using your intelligence, skills, and talent to make a camera like this for the iPhone XR. Buying this app finally made me 100% happy with my decision to get the phone I did.

Best camera app for iOS
iPhone 13 Pro user here. The native camera app is excellent, but Apple’s image processing really cranks the sharpness, contrast, and saturation to the point of being a little silly. The cameras on this phone are capable of taking amazing photos, but the over processing can really turn a detailed shot into a noisy one, especially where foliage or fabric textures are concerned.

Halide does what Apple should’ve - they’ve taken Apple’s existing image pipeline and cut out some of the extra processing. Deep Fusion and Smart HDR still apply, there’s still excellent noise reduction, but the haloed edges and unnatural colors and lighting are gone. The result is a softer, more DSLR-like photograph.

Halide isn’t as smoothly polished as the native app, and there are a few UX quirks and bugs that I hope get smoothed out over time, so it’s not my choice for most day-to-day shots. For art though, it’s Halide all the way. Totally worth the money.
savedabuffalo,
Highlights completely blown out on iPhone 13
I want to start by saying this is my go-to camera app. I’ve used Halide almost exclusively ever since I first discovered it around two years ago, and have achieved great results with it thus far.

However, I’m writing this review because I recently upgraded from an iPhone 11 to an iPhone 13 and haven’t been getting any detail in the highlights whatsoever ever since making the change to the 13. I mean the highlights are completely and literally white.

If I were to take a picture of the same sunny scene, one with the Halide app and one with the native camera app, I’d still get good detail in the highlights using the native camera app as opposed to the same shot taken using Halide. I’m assuming it’s just a temporary issue due to the release of the new 13 and I’m also hoping an update can fix the problem soon. Just wanted to bring it to their attention by writing this, in case it hasn’t been brought up already. Otherwise love this camera app.
