## Review summary

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.
