PhotoPills Positive Reviews

Can’t believe I waited so long to buy this appI had originally been using a cheap ($3) app that had a bare bones version of the sun tracker. But I got frustrated by that app’s poor design and heard a few photographers mention PhotoPills. Spent the $10 and have already used it to plan & execute some amazing astrophotos of the Milky Way. There are so many features and tools packed into there it’s crazy, yet the UI is super intuitive and easy to use. All of that takes a lot of work, $10 is an absolute steal! Think about this: if this app was somehow converted into a standalone gadget, you’d find photography stores selling it for $100, minimum. The planner tool is amazing, with the ability to view a map and layer on the precise positions of the sun, moon, Milky Way galactic center (& arm), various meteor showers, eclipses, custom calculated shadow lengths for objects of any height at any elevation. And that’s just one “pill”! There are a bunch of other “pills” such as the time lapse calculator tool, depth of field, and more..JHoffmann117Version: 2.12.5

The best astrophotography app ever!I never knew how valuable this app was until I tried capturing the Perseids Meteor shower last August. I could follow the moon, sunset, Milky Way and Meteors all within a few hours of each other while preparing for my photoshoot up in the high peaks that evening August 12th. The augmented reality feature was super easy to use and I was able to track the meteors around the clock. I had a load of fun especially discovering that the Milky Way would be right above us and I could plan on taking an image of it with all the meteors I planned to capture. PhotoPills Academy has helped me find answers about photography that I could not find anywhere else. The interviews with other astrophotographers are also extremely helpful and mind opening. The PhotoPills planner is a ‘must have’ if you want to capture a gorgeous sunset, moon shot and/or the milky way in any location by planning ahead and knowing exactly when the sunset, moon or Milky Way will be positioning in the sky or the horizon. Thank you PhotoPills!!!.Gloria Gigi BabbVersion: 2.12.1

I can’t believe how useful this app is!I don’t remember what led me to purchase this app. I’m not a big time photographer, the only cameras I own are my iPhone, iPad, and a GoPro. However this app has helped me take incredible pictures that I would never have imagined using the tools within. From calculating quick time lapse intervals, best times to take pictures of my flower garden, helpful information on the position of the sun to help you get the best shadows and lighting. This app has made me a better photographer. I was using it this morning planning a quick shot of a park near me that has a beautiful cliff and realized how useful this app is and how without thinking I go to it. I don’t remember purchasing it, I don’t remember what it cost. But whatever it was it’s worth it enough to interrupt my photography planning session to leave a review. Great stuff!!.OsgoodKelchVersion: 2.13.10

Necessary tool for photographersI’ve had this app for a while now and had just dabbled with it. Now after deciding to get serious with my landscape photography and having lost nearly 20,000 images due to not backing up systematically I’m once again building my photo collection. As I’m planning several locations I realize how complete this app is. I’ve used Light Trac, (which I like), but Photopills seems much more complete. That being said I strongly suggest going to their website and downloading the user guide so you can get the most out of this program. As photographers we must be fluent with not only our photography gear, but with image processing software, etc. Photopills is 1 more important and helpful tool to learn how to use for exceptional photographs rather than just ordinary pictures. The $10 is a valuable investment in your craft..MTGMAN1Version: 2.13

Incredible Information for a beginnerI am a beginner astrophotographer and I find this app primary to my ability to plan for shoots! Like most photographers the weather dictates if and when I can shoot so being able to plan is crucial to getting the projects I am striving to finish! I found PhotoPills because I was searching for an app or site that showed me the exact heading (or azimuth) the sun would set at and I could find no real information. I seen a post by a fellow Astrophotographer and ever since then I have been off to the races! Seriously speaking...the $$ you spend on this app is well worth it considering all of the apps this app makes obsolete. The sheer amount of time is worth the few bucks they charge! I love it and I won’t be without it again!!!.Connections Are The KeyVersion: 2.10.3

Please don't turn into Adobe!First and foremost I'm a software user and the main reason I use Apple products is because of stability, they just work and I don't have to worry about them. One of the tools that I use the most in this app is the DoF Calculator. There is a serious problem with this part of the app that literally freezes the app with no response. There's been over three updates since I noticed this problem and it still is a reoccurring problem. The thing that confused me more is that these newer features are being put into the application with this problem still existing! I've deleted the app and reinstalled it and it still does not fix the problems that keep on reoccurring. I really am about stability first in features second. I would really appreciate it if you guys could make this a priority and fix it!.Foto_alaskaVersion: 2.5

MUST HAVEIf you are a freelance photographer/videographer this app is a must. At $10 people will complain about having to pay but seriously I bet within one year I’ll be paying less than .01¢ per use. I just was referred to this app by another professional and I instantly downloaded. We agreed that this tool would be worth paying for the type of info it provides every time you’re on a shoot. The amount of camera types it has and can calculate settings, distance, and even an AR preview of your subjects proper location at the set f/stop, lens mm, and camera mm along with a 35mm equivalent. It even takes crop factor into the equation. Don’t write reviews ever but this app and developer deserve it. Obviously a professional photographer themselves..Powers111Version: 2.10.3

Life alteringI’m an aspiring/amateur photographer, still learning about ALL the aspects of photography, from eye to camera to scene, and this app has changed EVERYTHING. I’m learning how to be more creative with shots, how to make a solid plan and even how to use my camera. It’s shocking to me how much I didn’t know before I started using PhotoPills and it has given me some serious respect for the pros out there. Rafael is a wonderful teacher and all the structure surrounding the app (articles, videos, etc.) make it even more amazing. Thanks so much for putting this crazy piece of technology together (!) and for allowing people like me to dream a little bigger..RrragerVersion: 2.13.14

Incredibly useful, but sometimes confusingIf you’re a photographer, this is one of the most essential apps you can have on your phone, bar none. My only real complaints are that the user interface can be confusing at times. For example, I can never seem to remember how to add a location in the planner “pill”, which often has me going to The Photographers Ephemeris to find what I need. Besides UI tweaks (can we please have the ability to customize the pills order? 🙏), I would love to see an Apple Watch app! I envision customizable watch complications and small functions like long exposure timers and DOF & exposure calculators. It’d be great to see the sun & moon timelines in the large complication slot! I’m crossing my fingers that this is on the feature list… 🤞.Colin RobertsonVersion: 2.9.1

Incredible work from these guys to make this app.I don’t think on the entire Apple store, there are lots of apps that are not only well done but hyper technical and well designed as this. I have nearly 700 apps and the only equivalent is some astronomy, physics and about the human body apps that compare to this. $10 is ridiculously cheap to own this app ! Even photographers that aren’t going to use 80% of this app, its still worth it for that 20% its really really good - I cannot fathom the amount of work and equations that were required to get this to work, « get a job at SpaceX guys ! » :).De Savoie -Version: 2.13.7

The absolute best photography tool on the planet!!WOW, BRAVO, I think this is the single coolest app I have ever used on so many levels. It is wonderfully laid out and easy to navigate and use. I highly recommend it for any photographer either novice or professional who’s interest lies in just about any genre of photography. There is something in this app for everyone. If you have an Apple Watch with a compass (series 5 or later I believe) it makes planning the perfect photograph fun and easy to do. With a little luck from the weather gods, who knows, the stars might align and you’ll get the shot of a lifetime 😉..NLerMacManVersion: 2.12.5

Incredible appThis is the best app I have ever used. I have had a longtime interest in photography but haven’t had the time to pursue it. I have recently gotten serious about photography in general and astrophotography in particular. The internet has everything you need but also has everything you don’t need. Most sources are good at telling you what you need to do but does not explain how to do it. Others tell you how to do it but in terms of an expert. This app pulls it all together..... the basics, the planning and the tools to pull it off. I am amazed..SmaipVersion: 2.13.13

Incredible App!I’m a complete beginner. Know nothing about astrophotography but wanted to attempt to take a photo of the Milky Way with my new iPhone 12 Pro Max. Bought the app about three weeks before my trip to a Dark Sky National Park; read and watched the many useful tutorials online made available by the developers and boom, got an incredible shot of the Galactic Center on my very first attempt. Thank you and I will be playing more with the many other incredible features available in this app..Mwx7Version: 2.12.5

Timelapse app in PhotopillSo far this app has been great. One minor change for the Timelapse tool is to change it to delay between shots and the duration of the exposure instead of adding both in the tool. My intervalometer has the delay and exposure time separate which works great and it's intuitive. Also add to your list the best exposure time for Milky Way pictures based on your camera, lens, and f stop plus iso settings. Maybe it's there but did not see it since I'm a new user of the app..Ranger10xVersion: 2.13.11

I LOVE this API'm a landscape photographer and I've been using this app for a long time. You can see my work on instagram (joshua_p_crites) or 500px. This AP has saved me many hours of wasted trips. At first it was a little intimidating, but after watching a tutorial and using it a little bit, I love it. If you're a photographer who is interested in sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, Milky Way, or Astro photography this is the app for you. The only thing that I would love to see incorporated into this would be a tide chart and swell info, otherwise it's awesome..Joshua critesVersion: 2.5.3

The best outdoor Photography app you could ever haveI cannot recommend PhotoPills enough! The wealth of information it provides for outdoor photographers, who are wanting to capture the glory of sunrises, sunsets, the Milky Way, or anything affected by light is outstanding! it cost me 10 or 11 bucks and it’s worth 10 times more money. Hats off to a team who has developed a truly remarkable tool! If I can only post some photos that I’ve captured from utilizing this app you would buy without hesitation..Jack C from TexasVersion: 2.13.11

Don’t Leave Home Without It!For an outdoor Photograhper being armed with knowledge is as important as remembering to pack your camera. Knowing EXACTLY when and when a full moon will rise, the sun will set, or the galactic core of the Milky Way will be visible will allow you to plan and capture incredible images. There are so many great tools and features built into PhotoPills that it has become absolutely essential for everything I shoot. Five stars are just not enough for this incredible App. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.Gordini27Version: 2.10.2

Best planning toolSo much power for so little money. I use this all the time. I have months of plans set up and ready to review. Really saves time scouting our locations. I set up plans first, then I try to get out and scout the location ahead of shooting and use the AR view to make sure I’m in the right spot. Also, the PhotoPils folks have a ton of documentation, tutorials and helpful articles to get you going and stay inspired..GeezerpunkVersion: 2.13.2

Essential for MW photographyI’m a wedding photographer and I do a lot of night/Milky Way shoots with couples. PhotoPills is absolutely essential for what I do. I spend a little time during the day scouting locations and compositions before the shoot and I screenshot the MW in the frame during the day and it’s so easy to replicate the frame at night. This is a must-have app for night photographers, but especially useful for me as I have a short window with 🥶 clients and I don’t have time to experiment with compositions..BrskierVersion: 2.11.6

Amazing App!!I really like using PhotoPills to help plan night time Astrophotography shoots! I’m sure I’m not even using it to a tenth of its ability, but I am learning! I used it for the Total Lunar Eclipse in Nov 2022, even though it sadly clouded up for me near the beginning. I’ve used it for several moon shots since then, and I’m using it to plan out 3 possible spots for the April 8th 2024 total Solar eclipse! I look forward to years more use!!.SpfdMacGuyVersion: 2.13.14

Initial impressions from new userJust downloaded the app after seeing it mentioned on the website of an Australian photographer. Haven’t used it yet, but have done the “tour” and gone through Settings. Have to say I’m impressed with the interface. Am also impressed with what I’ve seen of developer follow up to comments posted in the Review section of the PhotoPills app. After I use the app a while, I’ll see if it’s possible to come back and update this review. So far, however, I’m impressed with what I’ve seen..DroszelVersion: 2.8.1

Widget drains batteryLove the app hands down. Just one thing I want to mention with iOS 14 is this app in the widget sucked my battery down from 100% to 25% in 4 hours and heated up my phone. Also the phone would barely charge with the widget active at 20% in 1.5 hours. Turned the widget off and the phone is charging way faster, not hot and the battery lasts like it normally does. Hope the devs can fix this cause I’d love to have the widget..Drove19Version: 2.12.1

Best all-around Planning ToolPhotoPills is by far the best all-around planning tool to help bring your images to fruition. The team is also responsive. When I first started using the app I had a suggestion that I submitted. Turns out it was a feature already built in and they let me know. Get the app & clothes — you need both anyway so support these guys!.MEdwardsLVersion: 2.13.2

Lots of useful stuff, not very intuitive to useThe planner function is quite confusing, the developer should make adjustments so it is easier to use. It took me a while to figure out how to change place (locates under “load”, which doesn’t make sense because you find a place, not load a place) and date (need to tap the tiny clock symbol). I still don’t understand what all the symbols under the plus sign mean, there is no explanation..FPU93Version: 2.8.1

7 years and still learningI have owned and used this app for nearly 7 years and still discovering more amazing features. An absolute must own for any landscape photographer who is serious about planning and capturing the best shots possible. Steep learning curve but no great results come without effort. Kudos to the development team for their app and their awesome trading materials..NYCSkepticVersion: 2.12.3

PhotoPills is....This is a fantastic app. Many calculations to perform and much information to look at.. this app definitely helps with the science and technology calculations if you are critical about your photography. I would recommend this app to anyone but a novice photographer but I would encourage it's use later. I look forward to anything new to add to this great app. Thanks for it's creation!!.SkepticalAsAlwaysVersion: 2.12.2

Great Tool For Astro & Landscape PhotographyThe number of things this program will do is amazing. If it has any flaw, all of those tools, it can be a little daunting to learn. however, if you pick one function learn that, then pick a second function and so on, you will find it be one of the most useful apps on your phone..OldTechGuyVersion: 2.13.13

Wealth of informationThis app. offers a wealth of information at your fingertips for just about all interests in photography. Create plan on desktop, laptop, iPad or phone-save and forward to your chosen mobile device to use in the field for timed shoot. How cool is that. Great support and tutorials which is valuable because the app. has so much to offer..ShutterthethoughtVersion: 2.13.2

The Only best app to plan your shotsI am still learning this app but once you learn the amount of possibilities it opens up is just tremendous. Such a powerful tool to be a pro photographer and get shots that you can probably never get if you didn’t have the app. Invest time in getting to know it and you will make the best of it. Thank you to the team who developed it. Such an intuitive and useful app..Sneh2107Version: 2.11.2

The BEST App for planning!I love this app and have used it to plan so many photos of the sky, moon, Milky Way, sun…. However one of the greatest gems of the community are the tutorials that are available. Always current to what is happening each month, also so much more. I truly think this is the best tutorial/app I have ever purchased. Thank you Photo Pills!.SeattleDublinerVersion: 2.13.4

Very useful in planning future but easy to trip upI found this app immensely useful for star observation planning for travel. I did trip myself up when planning for much different time zone I forgot to verify the time zone of observation was not correct. It would be helpful if moon page displayed time zone of calculation (i.e. gmt+some number).Sunny trailsVersion: 2.12.4

WOWI watched a training video on PhotoPills done by Erik Kuna at Kelby One and thought this would be useful for Milky Way and moon shots. When I downloaded the app I was blown away. It is so much more. And it comes with a great User Guide and tutorials and videos and the most enthusiastic developers. I am just starting to learn my way around the app and have not shot any photos yet, but I expect they will be great. Well worth the money..Alan ChinnockVersion: 2.11.3

Incredible appThis is an absolutely incredible app. The interface does take some getting used to, but once you figure it out it’s all smooth sailing. It’s a must have not only for Astro photography, but also just for general stargazing. The name is weird tho. Seems a more specific name would help buyers know what this app does..BillCarson2Version: 2.13.8

Everything PhotographyThis app will give you helpful information about your camera, lenses, exposure, focal distance, and the list is unending.

My go-to for every shoot..TsetsohVersion: 2.13.2

Love this appI am an avid Astro photographer and this app is an important part of my planning process. It allows me to plan my images, months in advance, anywhere in the world. Along with that planning tool comes support. Webinars, emails and tutorials have all helped me become a better photographer. It’s the best money I’ve spent for one of my photographic tools..Bengal88Version: 2.13.12

Seems really goodI just bought PhotoPills and it works better than expected. I’m still learning about the program, but like it so far. I’ve had PhotoPills for over a year now and I love it. I use it to plan shots wherever travel. I don’t take many nighttime shots but it still works great for daytime photography..PaulietesVersion: 2.13.9

Amazing all it does for youJust started using this app recently and so I am not an expert by any means. It has a very friendly user interface and provides a ton of information for planning photo shots. Right now I want to say I love it and use it all the time and hope to learn to use it better..Bliss jensenVersion: 2.13.5

Mind blowingly PowerfulThis app has so many features to aid photographers that it is difficult to remember them all. If you even casually shoot landscapes on a mirrorless or dslr camera this app pays for itself multiple times over. I am primarily a portrait photographer and use the app when planning shoots. Get it. You won’t regret it..NsskogVersion: 2.12.3

Essential for astrophotographyThis app is by far the best tools to plan and photograph stunning views of the sky in particular relation to a monument, natural wonder or landscape. It’s intuitive and easy to use. The support and tutorials are fantastic (Both in English and Spanish). There is so much this app can do and it is constantly updated with new very useful features. Can’t recommend it enough..FReynosoMVersion: 2.10.1

PhotoPills . . . The Best!By far, the best app for planning any photo of sun, moon and stars or when to get just the right natural light for any shot. Incredibly detailed but super-easy to use, plus Rafael shares his and other photographers’ expertise in great video tutorials. Just get the app if you want to improve your pics. Bravo Photo Pills! Keep up the good work and THANK YOU!!.NatureDougVersion: 2.13.2

Stellar company - 10 stars!PhotoPills, the app, deserves a minimum of 5 stars - it’s so powerful and well designed.

Thank you PhotoPills..RomanoiVersion: 2.13.5

PhotoPills appVery well thought out app. I really do like this app. It is a Swiss Army knife of all things photography when out in the field. Comment: By staying at the top of the app world. Maybe try adding improvements, enhancements like cosmetic appeal ,maybe personal customization within the app, another Comment or idea : add Colour themes in the app. Maybe add another PhotoPill light meter or flash meter distance. add photopill that goes under the already title “Planner” call it “365 project planner” or just on its own and call it “365 project”..AstroDustVersion: 2.12.7

‘Must have’ APPEvery photographer, whether he is an expert, amateur or a beginner, must have this app with him. Even if you are not an astrophotographer, you will develop interest in it after reading ‘how to’ in this app. Apart from astro, you get every details about other important things like- hyper focal length, exposure, depth of field, sum/ moon positions, time laps calculation etc. It’s easy (not very very easy 😁) to use. I’m using it for last 3 years..Ajay ParelkarVersion: 2.11.8

Best App Ever Designed For Any ApplicationHigh praise? Yes! Worthy praise? Definitely! This app even amazes my friends who have no interest in photography. The tools it employs to help photographers plan a shot are invaluable and take so much of the guess work out of the planning phase. The tutorials are informative and make the app so much more useful. The true power of this app is not realized until you’ve read through the manual and watched the tutorials. Every serious photographer should have this app on their phone. Truly amazing!.Vaughan$1970$Version: 2.11.7

Well worth the investment!I know very little about the stars or cameras but PhotoPills allowed me to figure out how to take a nice shot of the Milky Way’s Galactic Centre - with my cheap, little, 10-year-old, crop sensor camera. Thanks PhotoPills!.ThickjawVersion: 2.11.6

You gotta get this appWhile planning my fishing trip in northern Canada, I used this app to plan my night photography while up north. With just my planned location and the date for my trip, it was easy to start planning my star trail photos and Milky Way photos. I will not have any cellular or wifi connectivity, so pre-planning and watching the YouTube videos before my trip was critical..RjemmettVersion: 2.11.6

PhotoPills Negative Reviews

Lots of options, but none of them simpleWill say it looks like an app that if you had several hours to spend could be useful. But literally all I want is a better picture of the moon. Looked at the guide, got disgusted with it and its condescending tone, and deleted the app. You’ve already got my money, and you can keep it. It would be nice to have a function that is just camera with a drop box of toggle-able features. After taking a picture, have things that say how you could change each step and how changing one feature would likely change the photo. So say I took a picture of the moon. There would be a box labeled exposure time. I click on the box and it says how increasing or decreasing the ET may change the picture..Strategizer2011Version: 2.13.8

So confusingThis app is so confusing to use. Yes, I know there are helpful videos that the devs release regularly. But sometimes I'll forget how to do something even after I've watched a video. And having the users watch a video to be able to understand the app is a UX failure. This app is powerful and really awesome with what it can accomplish. I just really wish they made it easier to navigate and use. For example, when in the 'planner' area of the app, there are all these icons with the pin that I have no idea what they mean. I have to tap around and try to blindly figure out what each one does. Could a label be added underneath? I know the font would be small. Perhaps there's a better solution. But please make this app more usable for people that want to just pick it up and use it. Thanks..TofuNattoVersion: 2.11.6

Wealth of information, very hard to useThis app provides an incredible amount of information about position is sun and moon at any time. It also shows direction of the Milky Way and meteor showers. Very useful for planning specific photographs. The user interface is befuddling. There’s no in-app help, and it’s not intuitive at all. I’ve watched the online videos and read the web pages. That can walk you through doing a specific thing, but good luck remembering the next time. It’s just too obtuse. Note that the app does not provide info on location of planets or stars..Wired4SoundVersion: 2.13.3

Does not help with the basicsFor example, I have dropped the red pin but what if I don’t have a place to plant the black pin? Also, in Night AIR, the app had me looking in the wrong direction! If my friend didn’t have excellent vision, I never would have pointed my camera in the correct direction of the Milky Way. The app, even having watched all the videos on how to photograph the Milky Way, doesn’t help figure out the the exposure settings—unless I only want to photograph meteor showers or an eclipse. I am also uncomfortable with all the ‘experts’ being men; have not women also used your app?.JcatherwVersion: 2.12.5

Great features, but impossibleI will put in my coordinates to plan a shot. Send them to the planner only for it to override to my current location. I am unable to just start from the planner and set my location other than dragging the pin. Not very ideal when I know the gps coordinates I want to enter. The AR features are cool, but be sure to bring a notebook and pen to write down the information on the shot you want to take because the app is little more than just a tool to provide insight on when you might want to take a shot..KbtoystoreVersion: 2.11.8

Greedy… Never enoughWell, I find this interesting we pay good money to purchase an app. Then the advertising and rabbit holes start, you can’t get the user manual without agreeing to the release of your information to third parties, every time you try to learn how to use the app you get sent down rabbit holes of YouTube videos and then you have to go back to the beginning and work your way back through to where you were (there is no tutorial built into the app you need Wi-Fi/cellular). I’ve never been more frustrated with an app ever. I think the app itself is useful but I might throw my $13 in the air and say screw it just because this is such a frustrating experience..Dman4anarchyVersion: 2.11.6

BadIn order to read the guide and learn ull have to put done ur email they’ll email you and ull need to download each guid urself. And even after that there not good to much worthless text and doesn’t get to the point App really hard to use and it’s not simple at all it’s n app from the 80s if we had apps on the 80s All that u need is there but it’s not user friendly and good luck finding what you looking..Jaha babaVersion: 2.13.5

MisleadingCool app to plan but thought it would actually give me different camera options and it doesn’t kinda mad I spent 15 dollars on it..J_Of_SpadesVersion: 2.13.5
