Pros and cons of SLR Photography Guide app for iPhone and iPad

SLR Photography Guide app good for

A lot of information is in this app. Very helpful for the beginner photographer.

Very helpful! A lot of very good basic information presented in a way anyone can understand.

Some bad moments

I expected a lot lot more guidance, instructions, examples, tutorials. Truly, very little here. One search on google showed many sites with infinitely more content (free). While this app had potential its miles from scoring 5 stars right now....

Would be great with more sample photos taken at different settings. This ap has potential.

I chose this application from all the others because of the promise of regular updates. So far, I have not gotten one update.

I really love this app. I had a tough time understanding some settings and this set me straight. The ability for it to update with new info is amazing and makes the app a living doc.

I am a brand new DSLR owner and I found most of the information presented in this app to be both helpful and easy to understand. However, I am a complete novice with digital SLR cameras; experienced users probably wouldnt gain much from this app. My only complaint is that nearly every article has at least one grammatical mistake (mostly having to do with apostrophes). This doesnt make the info less useful, but it shows a lack of polish and professionalism.

I am a beginner photographer and this app provided all the basic information I need to improve my photography. I can understand why advanced photographers would rate the app low because they already understand the basics but for beginners, it is well worth the money. I recently took a beginners class for $60 and this provides the same info for $1.99. I really like the examples that show the "bad" photo then the instructions for a "good" photo. I look forward to any updates.
