Photo Studio Light Setup 12+

Total Con

This must be the biggest rip off there is on Apple. I thought it would help with setup and show how the lights would interact with each other. It's just a blank page that allows you to record your set ups. Much quicker, cheaper and stores much more information with a pencil and a note book cooking you less than a quarter of what this con job charges. Disappointed and furious that this is allowed in the App Store, Apple should take more responsibility for its clients.

Sorry to see you being disappointed, but the app provide exactly the functionality that you can find in its description.

Impressed by the service from the developer ...

If I could give this application a 6 stars, it still wouldn’t do justice to the amazing service the developer has given.

But before I explain about that, let me say as an application that allows me to articulate my setup, this is very comprehensive and modular. The options and drop down menu to change items is very convenient.

There is a bit of a learning curve to understand how things work, but once you know how it flows, it becomes second nature.

Absolutely love it.

The application is definitely a 5-star.

Now, why the 6 stars for the service ...

A couple of days ago I stumbled on an anomaly that got me wondering whether it actually worked on my latest version of iOS and the iPhone 11 Pro, then checking it on my other iPhone ( iPhone X ) I found the anomaly to still exist.

Basically I wasn’t able to see the option list to change setting etc.

Checking the AppStore, I had the latest version; and in the AppStore page found a link to submit queries etc., and so I sent the developer the anomaly I had discovered.

Within less than two days application was updated, developer stayed in constant contact with me to assure me of progress, and once it was recited an email came telling me to check it now ... and viola, a happy Wail.

This is the kind of after-sales service that makes me stay loyal.

Almost there - Expensive considering

Almost does the job but can be a little frustrating to use. Labels will quickly get in the way of one another and need to be turned off because they can’t be read, which kind of renders the app useless for my needs. I was hoping I’d be able to draw up my core light setups and annotate them to share with other colleagues.

In particular, my issue was when drawing two heads on the same vertical plane but different heights. Annotating was impossible because the text just got entangled.

It would also be better if you could have some items annotated and others not. I need light power to show, but don’t need to see “white reflector” five times.

Lastly, when paying for an app, output pictures from the app should be clean and not include the apps branding!

Wouldn’t have paid for this had I known all of the above.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback. The label issue has been addressed in the latest version. Now they can be arranged separately. The default titles for reflectors can be now turned off.
