ProCam MK II - Pro Camera

As a longtime user of the original ProCam, ProCam MK II was a day-one purchase for me… and it did not disappoint! I love the redesign and how snappy the whole experience feels. This is a photography powerhouse that every photographer should have in their toolbox. ZERO mode is a standout feature. I’ve always felt Apple’s image processing was a bit too heavy-handed, especially for portraits, and ZERO delivers a much more natural look. I’m also really enjoying the new NOIR B&W preset, and the developers have confirmed that more presets are coming soon. Best of all, this is a one-time purchase with no subscriptions. Keep up the great work!

ProCam MK II is one of the best camera apps I’ve used on iPhone. The manual controls are easy to access, the image quality is excellent, and the zero-processing option is great if you’re looking for more natural-looking photos. The interface is polished and super snappy and works especially well one-handed. I also really appreciate that it’s a one-time purchase with no subscriptions. Highly recommended for anyone who wants more control over their iPhone camera.

Tinkerworks’ “upgrade” from Procam to Procam MK II removed a feature I relied on heavily: remote picture triggering from Apple Watch. That feature was a key reason I recently switched to Procam in the first place. Tinkerworks advised me to get a refund for the old Procam and install Procam MK II since I had so recently purchased the ‘old’ version. Alas, the Apple Watch trigger went away. Their suggested workaround requires carrying my iPhone plus another battery-operated device, which defeats the point. Removing major functionality in an upgrade warrants a severe rating impact, no matter how good the app’s other features may be. Because Procam MK II removed a feature central to my use, I can give it no more than 2 stars. Don’t upgrade!
