User Reviews

The Great Photo App offers strong, beginner-friendly, interactive learning of photography basics with clear visual demonstrations of how aperture, ISO, shutter speed, and lighting affect images. Reviewers praise its educational value and its usefulness for refreshing skills. However, repeated concerns about opaque and costly in-app purchases, limited free content, and reliability bugs (crashes, loading issues, compatibility) temper the experience. Overall, it's a powerful learning tool for newcomers if you’re willing to invest in content and tolerate occasional issues.
Pros
  • Interactive, hands-on learning of camera settings (aperture, ISO, shutter speed) and lighting.
  • Excellent for beginners; effectively teaches the basics of photography.
  • Strong visual demonstrations of how changing variables affects photos, including a studio lighting section.
  • Valuable resource for refreshing photography skills; many users call it indispensable for beginners.
Cons
  • In-app purchases are confusing and expensive; many items show as free but are not easily purchasable.
  • Free version is very basic; to access meaningful content you must buy sections, which many users deem not worth it.
  • Reliability issues: crashes and some modules failing to load; occasional compatibility problems.
  • Missing user guide/tutorial and Settings, leading to a poor onboarding experience.

Developer, at the moment eight of this app’s ten in-app purchase items are listed as being (temporarily) free — but it’s unclear how to actually “buy” them — so, it would be very helpful if you post a how-to explanation. Also, the user guide/tutorial and the app’s “Settings” option all seem to be MIA. If you can explain and/or fix these problem(s) please let me know and I’ll be happy to update and likely upgrade my review... Thanks!

I’ve been messing with cameras for many years and this is the best way I’ve seen to show the effects of lenses and lighting. And it’s a lot of fun.
