Review summary

The app is valued for its core tools (DOF calculator, film calculator, sun calculator) and ease of use, useful for film-based workflows. Repeated concerns focus on compatibility with newer iOS versions (64-bit requirement), feature loss after updates, and user-interface issues, plus reliability problems with the sun calculator.

Pros

Free DOF calculator with flexible inputs for lenses, distances, and camera formats.
Film calculator and runtime estimates to plan film purchases and on-set timing.
Sun calculator (sunrise/sunset) and general on-set tools for quick reference.
Simple, on-the-go usability and a broad feature set useful for analog film work and DOF needs.

Cons

iOS 11/64-bit compatibility issues: the app stopped working on newer devices without an update; many reviewers urged Kodak to recompile.
Post-update loss of functionality: film stock references and online support diminished, leaving mostly the film calculator.
UI/UX/design criticisms: hard-to-read lab info, confusing stock input, default to S8, and awkward data entry after edits.
Sun calculator reliability: some reviews report incorrect sunrise/sunset times or removal in newer versions.

2026-05-24	fi*****	Ive used the tools here to teach the physics of light in cinematography. When im shooting sometimes I’ll refer to it to for a quick reference for DOF. I’ve used it for years and still have my hard copies of kodaks guide for cinematographers
