Comments on Photo Tools for Android

★★★★★ A Google user · Jun 5, 2017

Thank you for the June 2017 update and restoring the weather and moon. A very well created and supported app

★★★★☆ Julius Mandelblat · Nov 30, 2025

I'd like to see update to modern cameras (e.g., no Nikon Z cameras in the list). Also, selection of lens focal distance with 1 mm step, as well as other "non-standard" aperture values (like 0.95, 1.2, 2.5). In other words it is better just to input the values rather than selecting from predefined lists. BTW, a simpler search in Google Play of Phototools doesn't find it

★★★★☆ Richard Vanderlip · Apr 13, 2017

Can't speak for all cameras but this app was not accurate for DOF calculations involving D5100 or generic 1.5 crop sensors. Compared with my cheat sheet I created and use which I know to be accurate. Update 4/12/17 - tried it again and compared the calculations to an online calculator. Seems to be spot on now. I will test drive the app and give it a fair shake.

★★★★★ إ Ƶoya · Sep 6, 2017

This app is a gem. The best of its kind, it's so rich. I only wish It had more than Canon/Nikon camera brands in its presets. Please consider adding more brands even the now extinct Samsung NX1 ;)

★★★★☆ Wallace Todd · Apr 2, 2018

Good information calculator. Color scheme of print/background makes the dropdowns difficult to read. Seems odd for a photography app that focuses on presentation. Moon phase information fails to open.

★★★★☆ Frank Hillger · Feb 12, 2025

Log/Log, Lin/Log etc. scaling option for histograms would be nice. Extol implementation as well, so one could extract the Maker Notes.

★☆☆☆☆ Jud Dyr · Oct 10, 2017

Useless, black text on dark gray background in the dropdown menus makes it unreadable.....

★★☆☆☆ Gerald Murphy · Oct 3, 2018

Doesn't support Pentax cameras or lenses and doesn't allow such cameras if added to be properly configured.
