Halide Mark II - Pro Camera App Reviews

I’ve had this from the get go. Always enjoyed this camera but I loath subscriptions. I understand new features cost to develop but I’d rather just pay a reasonable upgrade fee than a subscription.

The quality of the photos is amazing. This is a lovely alternative when you cannot bring your own film camera.

I’m getting excellent results and large files for editing. Highly recommended

Landcapes with varying depths, crowd shots (such as a parade or concert) or similar shots have never been better than with the Halide camera.

incredible camera but sometimes it glitches. not my goto for fast action. great for landscapes

Getting the feel for the app. Love the features. I’ll re-review shortly.

it makes evert photo look professional in my life

Halide is easily the best camera app I’ve used. The manual controls are intuitive, the interface is beautiful, and it consistently helps me take better photos. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get more out of their phone's camera.

Shooting RAW on my phone, phenomenal.

Love the app but I was immediately charged 19.99 even though it says I'm on a free trial until December 10th. i don't know if I'll be charged again after the "free trial" ends...

1. Allow me to set the lens display to read the mm for the lenses, rather than the 1x or 2x. 2. Allow me to use the new camera button swiping as a focus ring.

Totally Unbelievable

I’ve wasted so much time and so many opportunities without Halide. While I can’t go back and recapture those photos, I can leave this review here. The most valuable 2 features for me, worth the app’s cost alone, are not even really marketed on the site: focus peaking and leveling tool. Game changer! Thanks Halide team.

Far and away the best app. So clear and intuitive. And so much fun! I love it. Thanks Halide. All the best, Angus

Great subtle color. Handles even backlighting well.

This is the best camera app! I only wish Apple would allow making this my default camera app so I could launch it from the lock screen

All after i was a part of the 1st funding round does now pinch to zoom or granular zoom is no longer a feature unless I pay again… cringe

I subscribed again because all my favorite pictures came from this app. Thank you.

I purchased the lifetime access to support the work of the developers because this is a fantastic camera app even though I probably will use another camera app instead based on one intentional omission by the developers. Why am I choosing to use a different app plus only four stars for this review? Because the zoom for the iPhone 13 Pro Max is restricted to 3X. Zoom is wide open on halide for older phones but not the newer ones? Isn’t that backwards? Please reconsider this in future updates.

The latest version, especially the macro options are the best!

It’s the camera app that made me stop writing my own camera app. Between this and the default 1st party app, everything I need is fully covered.

Used for the 1st time. It is intuitive and works as advertised.

Just what I need, a virus on my phone, just in time for summer solstice!

I had deleted it at first, because I didn’t know how to use it . then I installed it back . still don’t understand 100% how to use it . But glad I restored it I’m hoping as time goes I will learn how to use it.But right now I am experimenting with it and learning as I go

This app is amazing to use. Honestly I enjoy not bringing my DSLR or Mirrorless body when I don’t have to. My one wish is that this app could Integrate with my Profoto speed lights. This would be the holy grail.

App keeps crashing and opening up to Image Rescue after attempting macro photos. It also makes my 12 pro max get HOTTTT fast.

Hands down best camera app I’ve had, 100% focused on making images better and not on mining information.

I have a iPhone 12 mini the app take a minute to rotate the screen and my flash isn’t flashing when I have my flash on still like the app though.

Great subtle color. Handles even backlighting well.

Halide enables RAW on iPhone. The software provides focus from micro distances to the horizon. Nicely done.

After months of dealing with awful crashes, this update finally fixed it and now the app is usable again 😄

Love the focus loop and manual mode that allows me to set my own controls.

Was surprised to find another app or the native Camera app needed for long exposures. At this price, am disappointed to need to buy and learn another app for that. Otherwise great app and improving already too.

Excellent and simple UI. This is my favorite RAW app and worth every penny. Very easy workflow into Lightroom.

We like the raw file feature. Select focus is also worth the price of the entire app.

App is good. I like it. Quality of the picture is great. But I don’t like to pay for every monthly or yearly.

Was surprised to find another app or the native Camera app needed for long exposures. At this price, am disappointed to need to buy and learn another app for that.

LOVING IT SO MUCH SO FAR been using it for a couple months and it’s so solid of an app. so many features too.

Is there any way to get a discount on the lifetime purchase for Christmas?

At the previous, lower price it was reasonable to buy and use a second app for a long exposures but at the current pricing, Halide should at least include a basic version of this feature for use with a tripod.

Unable to change the app icon to Silver Halide on my iPhone 13 mini running iOS 18. It keeps telling me to restart my device but nothing helps. Also please hide the iOS multitasking indicator on the bottom of the screen, just like Kino does. I have emailed you many times but still yet to get a reply.

Good: Built-in flora mode insta gives you 2x zoom and manual focus control, great for nature photos. Everything is as described. Bad: Somehow -- SOMEHOW -- requires WiFi to store your photos. To your device. Y'know, the one you're taking photos on? Yeah, it needs WiFi for that. Baffling design choice that singlehandedly ruins the app. Would recommend otherwise.

Photos often don’t save. Zoom control is always broken if you open it from the lock screen. No idea why this app has so much acclaim.

I thought I was doing a 7 day free trail but got charged $19.99 for yearly subscription with no way to cancel and receive refund. Wouldn’t care if the app was better. Every time I take a photo it says it can’t be saved but it does save it. Manual controls are a PITA to use. I want to do long exposures but get random results. Sometimes you get a long exposure sometimes not. And it just crashed. RAW+ interface is easier to use.

Not happy with the purchase it didn't do much more than what the Apple app already does on the phone just rearranges everything in a different manner wasn't able to get a refund through Apple so once purchased within that 12 hour period I realized I did not want this, and Apple would not give me a refund
