Ideal for both professional and amateur photographers with basic photography knowledge, this tool provides calculations for shutter speed, exposure values, flash distances, magnification in macro photography, print sizes, and more. It supports multiple languages and includes a countdown timer for long exposures. Upgrade options are available for an ad-free experience with enhanced features.

User Reviews

Overall, Photographer's Companion is well-liked for its clean UI and comprehensive planning tools that help photographers improve results. Users praise the fast, intuitive interface and the breadth of features, with many appreciating the Pro version for saved locations and gear/lens favorites. However, reviews point to gaps in camera coverage, free-vs-pro feature limitations, and occasional reliability issues with updates. Despite these drawbacks, it is viewed as a valuable photography planning companion.

Pros

Clean, crisp, and intuitive UI that's fast and easy to use.
Rich feature set for photography planning (ephemeris, sunrise/sunset guidance, lightning/stop-motion planning, etc.).
Helpful guidance with reliable information that helps users improve their photography.
Pro version adds valuable features like saved planner locations and gear/lens favorites.

Cons

Limited camera model coverage; many popular cameras are not listed (e.g., Fujifilm X-S20, Canon F-1, Sony a7R IV, Canon SX540 HS).
Free version limitations push users toward upgrading (missing features such as alternative locations/dates search and tide times).
Occasional reliability issues and update-related bugs (reports of not working or features disappearing after updates).

Recent reviews

This really is the true "Swiss Army Knife" of DSLR photography companion apps. It has a small storage footprint on your device, whilst remaining very functional. The Developer provides comprehensive help and tutorials on their website. Layout is uncluttered and clear. Tools are invaluable to Pro and Amateur alike. I'm considering the Pro version to explore the extras it contains. Pre-configured for many DSLRs, with an easy option to add ANY device not listed. Developer provides timely responses.
