iPhone Apps for Photographers (Updated)
Camera+ (not the far inferior Camera Plus or Real Camera+) is the best. It allows the user to separately select where to focus and where to meter. Great UI and lots of other nice features.
There are a number of apps that can help out photographers in a other ways. Here are my favorites:
Enough for photography centered aids for the photographer. We also go to strange lands where no one speaks our language. And so we have a second set of recommended apps.
There are a number of apps that can help out photographers in a other ways. Here are my favorites:
- Photo Buddy is a Swiss Army Knife of applications. Sun and moon calculations, exposure presets, depth of field calculator, flash tool, and more make this a must have app.
- Exposure attempts to duplicate many of the apps in Photo Buddy, but equals or surpasses only one - presets for various events/lighting conditions. The list of presets is mind boggling. Last time I checked this was a free app and worth the download IMHO.
- Photo Radar is for those times when I can't take a proper shot at that moment, but have no hope remembering where were the subject was. It's sole purpose it to help you get back to same spot later.
- Range Cam allows one to roughly measure the distance to the subject.
- iPose U is a nice set of posing ideas for one to many subjects.
- Photogene supports more serious photo-editing than the typical iPhone photo app and has a very well designed levels command.

- Flight Update is my primary flight tracker and a major aid. It lists arrival/departure gate info, baggage claim, airline announced delays, seat guru seating charts, etc. US only unfortunately.
- FlightCaster estimates the probability a flight will be on time based on statistical factors - not what the airlines say. It considers things such as weather at the departing and arriving airport, delays at the either airport, historical performance of that specific flight, etc. Its biggest limitations are it only handles flights arriving/departing the US, and the user interface is a bit clunky.
- Gate Guru lists what's available where at US airports.
- Traveler's Toolkit has lots of the info one might need when traveling to foreign countries. Bank, currency, dialing codes, electrical outlets, emergency numbers, US Embassies, etc. are all included.
- AllSubway has the actual subway maps. Can be tough to read in some cases.
- Exchange is the ultimate currency exchanger. Highly recommended.
- ICOON is a large, organized set of graphics you can show to someone as a cumbersome, but totally language free, way to communicate.
