User Reviews

Photo Tools is praised for its broad editing and calculation tools and its usefulness for professionals, plus being free. Repeated critiques focus on incomplete camera/brand coverage (missing popular modern models), UI readability problems due to color contrast, and stability bugs such as crashes and camera profile loading failures. Users want updated camera databases, better readability, and bug fixes to improve reliability and overall usability.

Pros

Rich set of editing tools and calculation features for photographers
Free to use and highly regarded by professionals
Useful photography guide and reference inside the app
Generally feature-rich, supporting a wide range of workflows

Cons

Incomplete camera/brand support with missing modern and popular models (e.g., Nikon Z, Canon EOS R, Pentax, Olympus)
UI readability issues due to dark color scheme (black text on gray background) affecting usability
Stability and bugs including crashes and camera profile loading failures (and the moon phase issue) reported

Recent reviews

I'd like to see update to modern cameras (e.g., no Nikon Z cameras in the list). Also selection of lens focal distance with 1mm step, as well as other "non-standard" aperture values (like 0.95, 1.2, 2.5). In other words it is better just to input the values rather than selecting from predefined lists. BTW, a simpler search in Google Play of Phototools doesn't find it
