Ratings and Reviews
A game-changer if you're serious about mobile photography
Before deciding to give Camera-M a try, I went ahead and purchased Filmic Firstlight. I will just say this: what a mistake. Camera-M has a superb set of tools for a serious photographer. Just by trying its white balance tool, I came to a quick realization of its power. I had assumed Firstlight had a similar white balance feature as its older brother (Filmic Pro). Boy was I wrong! If you understand the importance of being able to set a custom white balance in your images look no further, Camera-M’s white balance tool makes Filmic Pro’s feel like an amateur’s toy. I'm still to try several other of its features, but I'm definitely impressed so far. I'll come back once I have updates on that.
To the people behind this app: guys, you really need to have more videos available. One of the reasons I was doubtful to jump on board was the lack of more tutorials. Time to let the world know you're out there!
Developer Response ,
Thank you Yphex for your great feedback! We are glad to see Camera-M has become a tool for you in the way it was intended to be. As per video guides, we are working on putting together video tutorials and a manual to get the best out of Camera-M. Meanwhile, please do not hesitate to reach out to us for any issue or feedback: contact@camera-m.com
Mind-blowingly good
I have bought all of the camera apps. Seriously, almost all of them. And none have had everything I want—until now. A couple of features that are important to me: 1. The ability to control ISO with shutter speed in auto without significant lag...almost no other apps have this and it is the most important feature, in my opinion, for getting quality pictures on iPhone, especially with the wide angle. 2. Deep fusion. 3. An EXCELLENT and intuitive UI that is just a pleasure to use. I’m so glad I finally bit the bullet. If you are a serious photographer you will not be disappointed.

Thank you Itsdocyall for your kind review! We are glad that you are enjoying Camera M! We have a lot more coming on the way. Please stay tuned!
Clean UI & Feature-Rich
Easily the best manual-control camera app I’ve used, and I’ve tried most of them. The UI is intuitive and, I imagine, easy to learn even if you don’t know much about photography. There’s also a guide to teach you if you’re lost. It offers a handful of quality-of-life features absent from other apps. These include a white-balance color picker, easy histogram toggling, focus peaking in a loupe, constant flashlight activation, and a level that shows pitch. All of that without a subscription model and without collecting user data! However, it’s not without flaw.
Problems:
1. A screen will occasionally freeze, which can be fixed with a restart. Not a dealbreaker, but annoying when it happens.
2. The email address to contact the developers doesn’t work. It’s listed in the app settings and on their website, but trying to email it gives an error.
3. There’s no shortcut to add Camera M to the lock screen or control center. In iOS 18, this makes some other camera apps more convenient to access quickly.
I’d be thrilled if these issues were resolved and I could add another star to my rating! Wishing the devs all the best!
Developer Response ,
Thank you CJ_Amos for your great review! We deeply appreciate your comments since those are the exact points we thought about when we were designing Camera M!
Regarding the issues you mention with the screen freezing and the email address, we are having a hard time replicating them on our test devices. If you kindly email us with more details, we can quickly have a fix ready for you - contact@camera-m.com
Please note that Camera M 8 is still on the way. It will contain all the iOS 18 compatible features and more, such as Lock Screen and Control Center access.
Again, we highly value your feedback, it helps us improve Camera M!
