User Reviews

Users praise Manual Camera 4 for DSLR-like manual controls, RAW support, and value, noting it can significantly improve iPhone photography. However, multiple reviews flag stability problems (crashes/blank images), unreliable focus locking, imprecise UI controls (slider/zoom jumps), and white balance inconsistencies. When it works, it’s powerful and versatile, but reliability and precise control require improvement.
Pros
  • DSLR-like manual controls for photos and video (shutter, ISO, focus, exposure, white balance).
  • One-time price with no ongoing subscriptions, offering good value.
  • RAW shooting support with color-accurate results; white balance control; easy workflow to import into Lightroom.
  • Color accuracy improvements and reduced post-processing needs compared to native camera results.
  • Widely useful across subjects (artwork photos, motion/low-light work) and praised for maximizing the iPhone camera potential.
Cons
  • Crashes and general unreliability, including occasional blank images or failed recordings.
  • Focus is not reliable; real focus and lock can be inconsistent or nonfunctional.
  • UI/controls precision issues: sliders are imprecise and zoom can jump; difficult to dial in exact settings.
  • White balance/color accuracy can be off (Kelvin scale mismatches and misleading histogram).

This is a great app for video with manual settings

One of the easiest apps to take manual mode photos with. All time favorite. Would be great if support for the physical camera button was added!
