My most useful app
This app is awesome, can't do without it
2018-04-14
I use this all the time
Love this app. I’ve used it probably a thousand times over the years.
2016-07-31
Amazing!
Really useful for finding developing times! Can be used in the darkroom too!! Great buy!!

Most useful App
If I had this back when I was at school I would have got a lot more done, a must for students... Could benefit from an Apple Watch app maybe....

Simplifies developing, a must have app for any film photographer
Has a comprehensive database of film types and developers, saves looking up timings. Tells you how long for Dev, stop & fix and even prompts you when to agitate. A must have app for any film shooter.

Excellent
Perfect app. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Has a huge selection of film/chemicals to choose from. Worth every penny, much easier than a manual timer.

Brilliant, but...
This is a brilliant app for all b&w film photographers. Only reason for 4 stars is that the timer won't continue to run in the background (iOS 8) so don't try checking your email while processing!

Very good but...
The app is nicely designed and while it's simple to access all dev formulas it's quite rich. However, when you start customising formulas and you change the agitation scheme for the dev stage it automatically changes the agitation scheme for stop and fix stages to that of the dev setting. So, the only thing missing from this app is the ability to change the agitation schemes of each stage individually.

Needs a rework of the new version
I was an early adopter of this app, and it has been a godsend. I used it on my iPad in max mode and it was great. Just downloaded the update and the timer bars are tiny and there is so much blank screen going to waste it just doesn't make sense.
Also if you try and create new times from the dev chart, you can select your film, your chemistry, but when you select the film speed the app just crashes.
Not an improvement overall, this is a great tool, but this version needs to be checked and sent out again with bugs fixed and a bigger timer section. Once that's done, I'm sure it will be better than ever.

iPad version a disappointment
I was very happy running the old iPhone version on my iPad in max mode, the big display made it very easy to see wherever I was in the room while developing. New design looks like it's been thrown together with no thought about usability. Basically timer bars are way too small and close together and the bar legends are hard to read from a distance. The animated developer tank looks tiny against the clock numbers. All very ugly and amateurish looking. Please sort this out, the old app was one of my favourite things on my iPad, I wish I'd never upgraded

Misleading or simply incorrect.
First film I did, there was a huge discrepancy with the manufacturer's time! The notes may have hinted at this but the notes do not work. The result was an underdeveloped film (neopan in fx39).

5 stars does this no justice!
This is, without a doubt, the best app on the App Store.... No joke! Ive been using it for about a year and its never let me down; it bloody works flawlessly! Can't praise the massive dev chart enough. Greatest fiver I ever did spend x

Brilliant App
This is a great app and with the included timer, cuts down equipment needed to process bw film. Surprised to read negative comments asking about colour and Portra film, these are C41 process and the time is always the same regardless of film, so not much of a database needed. I have been using this data since it first appeared on a Palm handheld, and it has never let me down, I teach photography and always suggest it to students. Worth every penny.

colour film dev chart please please
i love this application!

The F-stop man.
This is a great app for black and white film developers! Easy to use and I get great results. Thanks.

Very good app but . . .
charged me another £6 just for upgrading from v1.5. Very bad :-(
Perhaps some kind of warning would be in order ??
2011-05-06
Great but where is the colour?
This is a great app but it only covers black and white films from what I can tell. As I only do C41 it isn't of much use and at £5 that is rather annoying.
Ilford XP2 B&W is down (as a 35mm) but there is no option for a C41 process like Digibase.. Why not?
And more to the point, why isn't this mentioned in the description? I think it would be very relevant to a large number of the people who buy it.
Please could you add some colour films? They should all be C41 or E6 so a C41/E6 timer would be useful. Also some sort of idea on variation between different makes of C41 kits and films before exhaustion?
