## Review summary

Film Rolls is loved for its simple logging of film-shot data, plus GPS tagging and a persistent multi-camera database. It supports easy export/desktop workflow, making it a strong notebook replacement. However, recurring issues include iOS compatibility/maintenance problems, difficulties deleting old logs, limited export formats (XML vs CSV), and requests for more customization (presets, frame numbering, focal length).

### Pros

- Simple, clean, and easy-to-use UI for logging shot settings.
- Powerful data model that can store multiple cameras, lenses, and accessories with per-shot details (ISO, metering) and a quick-fill feature.
- GPS/location tagging for each shot helps recall where photos were taken.
- Records are persistent and uncluttered, acting as an effective notebook replacement as data grows.
- Supports export/desktop workflow and data transfer for archival or further processing (XML export mentioned, aiding integration into existing workflows).

### Cons

- Compatibility and maintenance issues: requires ongoing updates and can fail to launch on newer iOS versions, leading to access problems.
- Inability to delete logs/rolls reliably, causing clutter and unusable data as rolls accumulate.
- Limited export options: XML does not read as easily as CSV, with many users requesting CSV or per-roll exports and cloud sharing support.
- Customization gaps: insufficient preset f-stops/shutter speeds, and need for more flexible frame numbering (e.g., start at 0) and focal length field.
