Track every shot like you would with a film camera. This version introduces a new Film Frame Counter to help you keep track of exactly where you are on each roll. Film Frame Counter The counter tracks your shots from frame 0 to 36, automatically wrapping for a new roll. Shooting longer rolls or bulk-loaded film? The count continues beyond frame 36. Smart Counter Sync Change the frame number manually, and the counter adjusts automatically so your next shot continues with the following frame. Improved Photo Details ISO, aperture, and shutter speed are now neatly positioned at the top of the photo detail view, making your exposure settings easier to check at a glance. More Reliable Photo Data Fixed an issue that could cause black-and-white photos to lose their EXIF metadata. Exposure settings and frame numbers are now preserved more reliably across app restarts and updates. A more reliable film photography workflow, from the first frame to the last. Happy shooting.

Track your roll like a real film camera! Version 2.5 introduces an all-new continuous Film Frame Counter so you always know exactly which shot you’re on. Automatic Film Frame Counter: Keeps track of your roll from frame 0 to 36. Counting automatically wraps with each new roll, or extends linearly beyond 36 if you shoot longer rolls or bulk-loaded film. Smart Counter Sync: Manually editing a frame number resynchronizes the counter so your next shot seamlessly continues from frame + 1. Refined Photo Layout: ISO, aperture, and shutter speed are now clean and top-centered in the photo detail view, putting your technical exposure data right where you need it. Reliable EXIF & Frame Saving: Fixed an issue where black-and-white images dropped EXIF metadata. Your exposure settings and frame numbers are now preserved reliably across restarts and updates. Crafted to perfection to keep your analog workflow clean, accurate, and effortless. Happy shooting!
