User Reviews
I don’t know what the bad reviews are about. Honestly, this app has met my every need. I prefer that recipes are pre-programmed instead of having to search randomly for experimental recipes in the other app.
I paid for this because it had dilutions for HC110. It is now removed. If you don’t put the feature back in you owe people a refund.
Only black and white film
Dilutions used to be more clear and simple to pull up. The latest update is hopefully just a mistake as it now forces you to manually add them yourself to each mix.
Dear App Developer, it would be fantastic if we could create our own timer instead of being limited to a set of developers based on the film I choose and a general configuration based on my preferences. However, this app is only for black-and-white film stock development, and doesn't help with color film (C41, E6, ECN2 and other) development. Regrettably, I wouldn’t recommend this app to anyone due to it's limitations. In this app, you can only make minor adjustments to saved “favorite” processes, which is practically useless for many seeking to develope at home. I would like to see a development timer that allows me to add or remove a few stops from my development time. This tool is not worth the $8.99 USD I paid for. I’ve switched to another app which has most of my requested features called “Develop!” and it's FREE!!! Hopefully you can improve this application.
Great App, Used it for years
And they say temperature extrapolation data is available, but how do you get to it? Great to have the massive chart in digital form, but for $8.99, the app is underbaked.
I’m a commercial photographer who is returning to film for the fun of it. This app takes all the pain and guesswork out of black and white negative development. Hats off and wallets open for the brilliant minds and hard work that made this app a reality!
Lacking several film stocks, doesn’t seem to be a way to add them. Rigid interface, no ability to change or alter development steps or they’re times. Just a bundle of preset timers for $8 was a mistake. Just use the online chart and your clock app, save your money!
The online version of the Massive Dev Chart is very helpful, and I refer to it regularly, so I thought this app would be just as good. Maybe I’ve missed it somewhere in the settings, but I don’t see the option of setting the agitation to “continuous” like you can on the website. The instructions say you can modify your agitation preferences, but none of the options they provide are for “continuous”. Of course I can just deduct 15% from the normal times to achieve this using my free calculator app. But I paid $9 for this app to do that.
