Pro Camera - Reeflex 4+

TL;DR: Not as pretty as ProCamera and not as simple yet flexible as Halide, but a darn good fit right between the two. The low purchase price is a one-off and makes ReeFlex an incredible value.

I’ve been using ProCamera since 2014, and Halide for almost a year. I was always intimidated by ProCamera’s multitude of settings and never felt like I was getting the most out of the app. I often reverted to the native iOS Camera app just for ease of use. Then I found Halide as part of a re-kindling of my photographic ambitions, and a new iPhone that could take advantage of it. Halide at first seemed like a perfect solution for me, until it wasn’t. Meanwhile, ProCamera revamped its UI, the settings seemed less daunting, and I started using it a lot more. Then, through a series of happy accidents, I found ReeFlex (and ReeXpose).

ReeFlex is simple and flexible, and has an intuitive and pleasing UI. The image quality for RAW and ProRAW is on a par with ProCamera, and, I think, just a touch better than Halide. Plus, there is no subscription to commit to, no in-app purchases to make, and a really reasonable purchase price. I figure ReeFlex makes their money off of their lenses (which I don’t need at this time), so they can offer their app at a significant discount. I don’t really fuss about that because the app is so useful and effective.

With the native app you can snap great photos and Apple has added some manual controls which is nice. BUT it’s got nothing on the Reeflex app, you have full manual control, oh and 98% of the app is FREE! The ONLY in-app purchase is $5-6 to unlock the long exposure feature.

The UI is very easy to use and translatable to a DSLR. I picked up my sisters camera and was able to clack off a few nice pics. So if you’re like me and using your phone until you can purchase a real dedicated camera, Reeflex is the only photo capture app you need.

Right off the rip you get focus peaking, zebra stripes and histogram. Pick which lens you want to use and select HEIF, Raw or ProRaw. Different grid options to compose your shots in creative ways. Flash and timer controls. I’m still blown away that all of that is free! Don’t feel silly and purchase other apps and then get sucked into more in app purchases. Download Reeflex and if you want to get creative with long exposure then spend the extra few bucks. But this is the only photo capture app I use!

Thanks so much for taking the time and sharing your experience with us - it’s highly appreciated!

Last October (2022) I stepped up from a 12 year old flip phone to an iPhone 14 Pro Max. Now this app has turned my iPhone into a comparable monster with my Nikon DSLR. I have been using this app for a couple of months now and there is not one bad thing I can say about it. The remote control (30 ft range) for my iPhone also works well with this app. If you want total control of your iPhone camera (as in a DSLR mode) this is the only app you’ll want. You know you want it so what are you waiting for?

Caveat: I recommend that you only use this app for shots that require longer exposures like moving water/waterfalls and clouds.
I’ve read complaints about focusing issues and such so with that said, there is no need to use this app all the time/alone. IMO, it’s better if you continued using your phone’s camera for everyday shooting.

Thanks so much for sharing your feedback with us, it is highly appreciated!
