Northern Lights Photo Taker Positive Reviews

Worth it only if you don’t have a real cameraHonestly, I do not think this app is worth downloading. I tried it out while capturing photos of the northern lights in Iceland recently. It’s slightly better than the normal iPhone camera (which was not picking up any green), but even with the app I could barely see what would be considered “northern lights”. If you don’t have a real camera and this is your last resort, it’s worth it to show the green lights exist, but the photos are not good quality..Chels223Version: 1.1

Exactly what you expect - Good (not great) quality photosUsed this app to capture images of the Northern Lights on a particularly high visibility night. Used a tripod and a remote to take pics so as not to have to touch the phone very much. As long as everything stayed still, the pictures came out quite good. Clearly they are not DSLR or professional-level images and won’t win any photography awards for Northern Lights pictures, but they are MUCH MUCH MUCH better than you’d get from just using your iPhone camera (which I tried, and simply got black)..E_BermsVersion: 1.1

Best 99 cents ever spentGot this for a trip to Iceland in December 2017. Not being a professional photographer, I wanted an easy app to get a decent photo. Bought this app and another and only ended up using this one. People kept coming up to us and asking how we were getting the northern lights to show up using our camera on our phone. The photos aren’t perfect, they’re a little grainy but they’re so much better than nothing and so much better than I was expecting. I don’t think you’ll find a better app for this. I would HIGHLY recommend buying this app. Best app I’ve ever gotten! Thank you!.Liz TPVersion: 1.0

Great App! Great Photos!This app definitely works if you see good Aurora! We saw them two nights in a row in Reykjavík and the first night they were very weak and I didn’t get any good pictures but the second night they were better and I got GREAT pictures! So it somewhat depends on the strength of the natural phenomenon. I used the weak setting. Pics are slightly blurry without a tripod but amazing when you consider its through an iPhone. Most people with us didn’t get pics and I had two strangers ask me to email them my pics because they were so good!!.LizzeramaVersion: 1.0

Works!I have a GoPro 3+ and was sad to learn it doesn't have a night mode (which supposedly takes good Aurora pics according to my tour guide). I was googling and came across someone who said this app worked, I figured $.99 was worth a shot for a once in a lifetime opportunity. And sure enough, jury rigged my GoPro tripod to hold my phone and voila, good (a little grainy but hey it's an iPhone camera not a DSLR) pictures of a very weak light. 5/5 because it turned an iPhone camera with no settings into one that can take pics of the northern lights with the push of a button.Bburg321Version: 1.0

Worth itBest .99 I’ve spent. Photos came out a bit grainy but that was somewhat expected. My iPhone camera couldn’t pick up anything at all and this app let me photograph the lights in Iceland. It sets up an extended exposure so you need to lean against something to hold still(ish) or consider getting a tripod setup. It only worked on the weak setting for me, even when they seemed bright. Only thing that would make this better is if it allowed a video feature since my phone camera/video couldn’t pick them up enough to show the lights dancing all over the sky..Very good, 1 or 2 changes...Version: 1.0

Pretty cool appTook a chance on this app as I was going to Iceland to see aurora lights. Figured 99 cents wouldn't be the end of the world if it didn't work, but to my pleasant surprise, this app took decent pictures of the aurora lights!! I say decent because quality can't really compare to a nice digital camera. I compared the stock camera app to this app and this one definitely showed better results 😀.Spiraling shapeVersion: 1.0

You don’t need this appIt turns out my phone‘s camera (iPhone 13) took better pictures than this app..WyomingscholarVersion: 1.1

Northern Lights in Iceland Captured!We went to Iceland to see the Northern Lights but we didn't take the right lens for our camera. Our tour guide told us about this app while en route to see the lights and I downloaded it on the way. Wow! was I surprised to see how well the photos turned out. The only thing was that if the lights shined too weak the lens wouldn't capture it, but for 99 cents it's worth the risk. I came home with great memories thanks to this app. I highly recommend it..RAWRRRRRRRVersion: 1.0

Above ExpectationExcels far beyond what I would expect from a cell phone camera. Absolutely worth the dollar if you want to document the experience, don't even think twice. Don't expect print-quality sharpness, but this is the best you are going to get from your phone and will provide evidence of how spectacular the experience was to your friends back home..HetubrioVersion: 1.0

IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!If you’re a complete photo noob THIS APP IS FOR YOU! I know absolutely nothing about camera settings and still managed to get STUNNING photos of the northern lights in Iceland. It has pre-set settings, just point and snap! Great app for people who really don’t understand the appropriate settings that cameras need to be on to capture something as special as the northern lights..RichmerinoVersion: 1.0

Good appI got just what I expected. I used the app with an iPhone 6 on an inexpensive tripod. I had a remote shutter release but didn’t need it. The app allows you about a second or so then tells you to hold still. Plenty of time to move away. Yes the pics are a little grainy but decent and I was able to use my iPhone!.MessiahbooVersion: 1.1

Definitely Worth A BuckYou're not going to be hanging Aurora photos taken with this app in a gallery, but you'll be able to get something good enough to induce FB/IG jealousy. And you'll have the pleasure of knowing that what you saw was so much better than what the app can capture. Use that to talk your friends into visiting you in Alaska. 💯😜.KamalamalaVersion: 1.0

Worked perfectly!Went to Iceland specifically to look for Northern Lights. First night that we saw them none of us had a camera that could capture the moment. Thankfully we saw them the second night as well but this time caught in pictures. Thank you app!!.LJT2000Version: 1.0

Best 0.99 I’ve ever spentI bought this for a trip to Norway since I don’t have a fancy camera and was just bringing my iPhone. It obviously does not look like a professional photograph but still did a great job capturing the lights so that I have a visual memory. I think it’s worth it!!.Schmangie307Version: 1.1

FantasticPurchased this yesterday evening, our last night in Reykjavik. The sky was so clear so I thought, "give it a go". The results were fantastic!!! If you are going anywhere to see the northern or southern lights and are not a serious photographer, this is for you!.BrummieCaVersion: 1.0

Amazing AppI have never reviewed an App before. This one deserves it. If you are seeing the Aurora you MUST get this app. We went from not being able to get a photo to several amazing shots. Can’t thank you enough for making this..FWR360Version: 1.0

Love the appI love how simple this app is. It does one thing and one thing well. I went to Alaska earlier this month and picked up this app on the way. It took a few tries to capture the northern lights (too much light and my hands were not steady), but was very happy with the results!!!!.Just Another Lowly DeveloperVersion: 1.0

Takes great pictures on iPhoneThe northern lights showed up great! I told so many others on my cruise about your app because their phones weren’t picking up the lights. I got so many amazing Northern Lights pictures!.KAG77777Version: 1.1

AMAZINGThis app is incredible. No way I would've gotten any pictures of the northern lights without it. I don't know the first thing about "real" cameras, and just as the description says - this app does it all for you. Great work developers!.ReganNoelleVersion: 1.0

Get itSuper awesome app, I was able to take some photos on this app if the northern light in Iceland. I brought my point and shoot camera with no luck. So unless you have special camera with tripod this is a good option.ShumnieVersion: 1.0

Highly recommend!!I would highly recommend this app! It worked amazing with my iPhone! You will not be disappointed!!! My pictures came amazing!.Qtlicious44Version: 1.1

Works!We were in Iceland - and found out that the iPhone was horrid in taking pictures of the northern lights. A quick Google resulted in this app. Skeptical at first - but tried it out of desperation. Happy with the results! Not perfect - but enough to document the moments..Stealth123Version: 1.0

Images of the Northern Lights Captured!Thank you Simon Leung for developing this fantastic App! I was lucky enough to see the Northern Lights in Yellowknife, North West Territories over the past two days and your App helped me preserve those images!.EthanLane2017Version: 1.1

Worked well in NorwayUsed every night we saw the Northern Lights in Norway- I got some great photos- a tripod would have made my shots better, but I am happy with what I got..Dudah in TexasVersion: 1.1

Northern lightsBest app for the buck. “99 cents”. Am very satisfied. Used app on trip to Norway. Very happy with result. Got some super photos of the Aurora. App color exactly like you see it. Can’t go wrong. Thank you, Twoyys..TwoyysVersion: 1.0

Fantastic App!!In Iceland and the Northern Lights were supposed to be good tonight, but I only had my iPhone. Decided to give this app a try, and WOW!! Even on a rocky boat with some background lights, it worked great! Will these get printed/published? No Did they capture the essence of what I saw so I can keep the memory and share the pictures with family & friends online? Absolutely yes!!! Don't hesitate. Best $.99 app I ever bought!.267-283-411Version: 1.0

Very intuitive and easy to useGot this app based on friends recommendation. The app does a great job and is very simple to understand..Irene PirVersion: 1.0

Great app!We saw the faintest of shimmer in the sky, but with this app our pictures are stunning. It was cool to look through the app and really see the lights dancing..ATL ProfessorVersion: 1.0

It worksWas very skeptical that it would work. I took the big 99 risk and it worked. I got pictures tonight of the northern lights. So happy. Thanks..McmullinlVersion: 1.0

Worked for meI only have an iPhone SE. Not a great camera. With this app I get decent northern lights pictures. A little fuzzy. But I don’t have a tripod. I’m very happy..PrfiniVersion: 1.1

Amazing!!This app is totally worth the $0.99! I used it tonight to take photos of the Northern lights and the photos were spectacular!.ObeezeeVersion: 1.0

Northern LightsDefinitely worth the price. I was afraid that my iPhone would not capture the Northern lights. This app did the trick. So happy the Northern lights museum recommended the app..DuffmomVersion: 1.0

Works. Settings are buggyDoes work I can only see the northern lights when it's set on the faint setting even when they are really bright- still nice to actually get pictures though with a iPhone without this app they do not show up at all.NorthTechVersion: 1.0

AmazingI do not have professional photography skills and was hoping to be able to take a picture of these while I was in Iceland. I downloaded the app and it was so easy to use ! The photo actually came out brighter than what we were able to see from our own eyes. Definitely worth!.Kamille RousseauVersion: 1.0

Loved it!Thank you for this app! I could share photos of aurora instantly from my iPhone instead of waiting to go home to download from my camera. Of course we can't expect to have perfect picture that you'd have in a real camera...but it was so good to take the photos in my phone & be able to share it with my friends!.NusrathqVersion: 1.0

Northern Lights Photo Taker Negative Reviews

Difficult to customizeI just downloaded this app and it may be great on the auto settings (haven’t had a chance to try) but the customization seems nearly impossible to use—very hard to see since text changed to yellow, sliders give wrong values (sometimes go up to right, sometimes down, and when you return to it, the value changed from what you set), and no interpretation of the settings (what’s the difference between shutter and expose ? Is color the color temperature and what units, which way is tint going when you change settings?). Needs LOTS MORE instructions, descriptions and repair of slider malfunction..5BeachcombersVersion: 1.1

IPhone 11 or newer? Skip this appI was in the Arctic and only had my iPhone 11 with me so I was quick to buy on a peer recommendation without checking the reviews first. Unfortunately this app doesn’t seem to work at all for at least the newer iPhones (11 and up). While I did see it work well in the peers phone, their phone was much older (5s maybe?). The native camera app crushes this unusable app. After the initial stress and disappointment of this app, I sorted out how to use the native camera and got great shots of the Auroras. So if you’re not currently stuck in 2015, save the $.99. Stabilize your phone and leverage the up to 30 second timed exposure option on your native camera app..C/LewisVersion: 1.1

$.99 out the windowThis is pure junk. I bought it before an excursion in Iceland to see the Northern Lights. The lights were very strong, but this app mostly brought up a black screen. Once in a while I caught a glimpse of the lights with it, but then the screen went black again. I tried all the settings, but to no avail. And, yes, I gave it access to my camera after I first downloaded it. I just took shots from my iPhone 11, and they were spectacular. This was recommended by an article about taking photos of the Northern Lights with smartphones, but I’m quite positive now that it was a paid endorsement. Save a buck and find another app..CozmotVersion: 1.1

Didn’t workI installed this app when I was in Iceland 2 weeks ago. We had two nights of amazing northern lights activity and I was anxious to take photos on my iPhone. I started Shooting and the camera just kept clicking, maybe 7 times each time I clicked the shutter. I thought this was normal and then found out it wasn’t. Anyway, all I got were several totally black photos. I never got one photo of the northern lights other than photos sent to me by traveling companions. I tried again the next night with the same results. The app did not work for me..IcelandgalVersion: 1.1

Not worth a dollarI tried to use this last night in Iceland. Unless the lights are bright enough (which apparently is rare) it won't pick up anything and will be black. I couldn't get it to work, so I used my own eyes to look, which was much more rewarding! Wouldn't pay for the app, any digital camera probably has enough settings to take better pictures..Fhxsfvvnffgbnkfdcyf)$35),6?Version: 1.0

You could get better pics without itIn Iceland right now and this app takes pics of just wide expanses of night sky. Nothing shows up. I have never been as disappointed as I have been with this app. The lights are beautiful, but this app will do nothing for your ability to capture them. You will still need a camera, tripod and skill..Ziggy OverlordVersion: 1.1

Not helpfulI probably should have done a bit more research in the difference between Northern Lights photo Apps... my bad. I didn’t find this one very useful (most of mine came out as rather dark tie-dyed blobs) but luckily was on a trip with others who had better apps and got better photos... good luck....KBAJOKVersion: 1.1

Did not work at allI have the iPhone 11pro and got this app to take aurora pictures in Alaska. Tried several different days, times ,to use the app. All we got was a black picture. The cell phone by itself was taking better pictures. Total waste of 99 cents. Maybe the app doesn't work with the new phones?.DiduiehdiwbVersion: 1.1

I wish I could give it negative stars.I got this app on the suggestion of a tour guide in Iceland while out hunting down a good spot to view the Northern Lights. However, it wouldn’t work. Basically I got a bunch of black pictures, although in all fairness one picture did get a faint red glow from the bus lights...I can’t believe I actually paid for this..Crowbot476Version: 1.1

Didn’t work!Wasted my $1 on this. My friends and I got it app for our Iceland trip. We saw northern light at the outskirts of the city but the app couldn’t capture anything. Then we saw the northern light again in the city with our bare eyes. We lifted up our iPhones to capture. The simple iPhone 7 camera can capture the light, BUT NOTHING WITH THIS APP! So disappointed!.Ctny-SiaVersion: 1.0

Waste of $If you really thinking of having those green clear northern lights , you better download some pictures on google. Unless you have a professional camera , you are not getting any good quality picture. Don’t waste a dollar not your hope on this app.FhhkfvVersion: 1.1

Black boxThe app wasn't able to pick up anything for some fairly bright lights. Save your money and get procam for free, it was able to take some from the same night. Of course it's no replacement for a real camera, but if your phone is all you have, skip this one..SkysongzVersion: 1.0

Save your 99 centsI have an iPhone 11 Pro Max. It takes pretty good northern lights photos, but I thought this app could help me take even better pics. Wrong! I deleted every single photo taken with this app… the pics were awful..BVTNYVersion: 1.1

Does not workI am not able to allow this app to access the camera on my phone. The app does not even show up in my list of apps in my Settings. When I tried the “app support” option, the listed page no longer exists..HsnadndnNzbbzVersion: 1.0

Waste of moneyI purchased this app in hopes of catching the northern lights in Iceland. It was a level 3 night so the lights were not strong. This app caught nothing on a tripod. My DSLR caught beautiful pics! So disappointed. Didn’t expect it to catch pics like my DSLR but something would have sufficed. I got black pictures. Bummer!.DebDebNYCVersion: 1.0

Doesn’t workEvery time I go to the app it always says I need to accept the permissions and let my phone use the app but when I press the show me button it just takes me to my settings and the app doesn’t appear anywhere in my settings.RrrrrraaaannndyVersion: 1.0

Doesn’t Work on iPhone 11 ProIt immediately starts firing off photos as soon as it launches then crashes on an iPhone 11 Pro. But with an iPhone 11 Pro the included Night Mode with the Apple camera app likely works better so this app isn’t needed. I used to recommend this app to participants in my Aurora tours but not now. Buy at your own risk..Amazing SkyVersion: 1.1

Worst appWorst app.Sonya ViraVersion: 1.1

Use your iPhone app insteadYou are much better off using your iPhones actual camera. I wasted my experience watching the northern lights using this app, it’s hard to determine what setting to use and any bit of shakiness will ruin the whole photo. Definitely would not recommend.4ddd9999Version: 1.1

AwfulI tried using this in Iceland when staring at the Northern Lights on October 19, 2021, it was crap and buggy. I just used the iPhone camera app which auto adjusted for the best settings and I got great pics of the Northern Lights. Waste of money..CublandVersion: 1.1

Doesn't workI had high hopes but it doesnt work for the Northern Lights. It is just an all black picture..604JRVersion: 1.1

Doesn’t work!I downloaded this app to take a picture of the northern lights. Safe to say didn’t work at all, I saw the most vibrant northern lights and all I got was pitch black pictures on my phone. Don’t waste your money!.OrianaBeeVersion: 1.1

Do not buy this appDoes nothing. Scam. Want a refund..CyntheeamVersion: 1.0

Not even closeAs mentioned by another review, setting it to weak is the only way to get anything on photos. Even so, the image is so faint, you don't know what you are looking at. I played around with custom settings too to no avail. This is a complete waste of money. Other free apps did a much better job. Do not rely solely on this app. You will be disappointed in failing to capture once-in-a-lifetime experiences..KnicknacsVersion: 1.0
