There I was, amidst the California stars, witnessing a rare phenomenon – Aurora on the west coast. I needed a camera of the long exposure variety, one that would do the splendor justice. In the heat of the moment I was compelled by an enthusiastic marketing team to buy Spectre pro. Lo and behold it produced a sad sack of dark pixels, not a wink of color in sight. Not even a hint of beauty. heavily chagrined, I resorted to the default camera app. Within 10 seconds, I had a photo more valuable than the entire public stock of Spectre. Very disappointing.

Installed, paid. Program locked up under a spectacular aurora.

The iPhones 10 second timer is far better than the 30 second long exposure on Spectre when used at night time to take star shots or aurora borealis shots. Don’t pay for it, particularly if you’re using it for night Sky shots.

Helps capture running water and campfires!

I love the attention to detail in all these folks do!

Good: the app does not collect any of your personal data. That’s unusual, and welcome. Not so good: on iPhone 15 Pro, the native camera app takes better low light pictures than Spectre. If the app is only intended to help you capture light trails at night, great. But that’s a fairly narrow use-case. Otherwise, stick with the stick camera app or Halide.

Very well done

Only takes jpeg even though my iPhone camera is set up as raw. Slow shutter app allows for tiff as well as Heif and jpeg. Like Spectre as I don’t need the tripod where slow shutter needs the tripod.

I paid for this app $1.99 but I guess that wasn’t the pro version or was that before it became free?

It just doesn’t work. The picture quality is vey poor.
