Luwian 4+

The app is about what you would expect, it does what it needs to do. There’s hundreds of apps just like this out there with the same features it’s just a matter of finding one that suits you. I would have given 5 stars but the robot talking is annoying, and the UI honestly feels like I’m back on iOS 6. The visuals are honestly not appealing, from the camera textured backsplash to the gradients in the elements like the film canisters. But that doesn’t degrade the fact that the app does work.

Hi Steve, Thank you very much for your review. I really value your opinion and turn into action in upcoming releases. Working on improved UI and UX. Thanks again best. 🤘🏽👌🏽

As a professional photographer, I have used many different apps for better control over my iPhone camera. With the iPhone 14 pro max and it’s 48mp resolution, this app has been a fantastic tool for me. The auto focus is spot on, tap to focus is spot on. My images are tack sharp. I have several pro apps like Halide, ProCamera, etc that perform very well, but many times the focus has to be done manually, especially with Halide because the focus brackets are just too wide. With Luwian, the focus is the best I’ve seen so far. I use the BeastCage from BeastGrip equipped with the 1.7x tele converter lens and this app achieves perfect focus. With this setup, the focus is close with the other apps, but not close enough. The exposure compensation slider is is broken down into small segments, so precise EV can be achieved. The app is very well designed and is my new favorite go to app. I’m still getting to know the other areas of the app, so far I am very impressed. The app has manual focus as well, but it needs focus peeking to help with fine tune focus. The other app I use have focus peeking, but on Halide and pro camera, the peeking color is too broad and isn’t as helpful. Hopefully Luwian will have focus peeking soon for manual focus. Luwian is a joy to use, I highly recommend especially if you shoot ProRAW with the iPhone 14 Pro series. Those 48mp files are tack sharp!!!

Hi, Thank you very much for this detailed and constructive review. Getting review from a professional helps a lot. I keep developing, improving updating the Luwian every week and i will carefully implement your suggestions. Thanks again best.

ok so I’ve had quite a bit of time to give this a go and I have to say this is actually quite a well designed app. There are very few aspects of it that I would say need improvement, but just like anything, this could use a little tweaking here and there, but overall, it’s excellent!! It makes my life a whole lot easier, instead of carrying my SLR equipment everywhere, I now use this and a small manfrotto monopod when just out and about and want to capture something. The interface with the watch works quite well, although is dependent on the signal, but is to be expected. Here’s the thing. If you want professional shots but don’t need to carry around thousands in lenses, lighting, bodies, and other equipment, then this is 100% what you need. I would endorse this app all day long!! It can be as simple or as diverse as you need it to be, has all the features of a DSLR yet can be as simple as a point and shoot.

Thank you very much for your review. Your professional view really important for me and in photography community. I will keep improving the Luwian and add new useful features.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.
