Film Developer Pro v3.120

★★★★★

Still getting used to the UI. Some navigation is clunky, and I'd like an easier way to set up a process chain from scratch. That said, it worked well enough for the films I processed so far. Update: after using it for a while, I still don't like the UI, but the processes work well. After using it for a while, it's growing on me. I like it now. Compared to other offerings, this is the one to get.

The app is great and actually very cheap for what you get. The percentage option is great when you want to work out the %2 rule for reusing coloured developer. The chain option is really helpful and works fantastic. The negative is the app has terrible UI and doesn't update processing times properly. It says incorrect times after changes. Maybe a short video going through some of the options in the app would help. An updated look would also be a big plus. Pretty good app though

Pretty clunky interface. The timer is really bare bones. The lack of a pause /resume button on the timer is a huge miss. Also the lack of screen rotation. Most of the screen is taken over by the control interface not the timer and the black on red is not really darkroom safe. Red on black would be better. Also time is way off for Bergger 400 in XTOL - not the manufacturers specifications.

Great functionality, horrible usability. The data and functions in the app are great and what one would want and like. But the usability makes it impossible to use. Everytime I made a mistake I had to completely exit the app and restart what you were doing.

Used this to develop a roll of 120 Ilford hp5 plus on d-76, and it came out way over exposed. I thought it was my mistake with a new type of film, but then I checked the development times for tri-x on the same developer, and it was 1 minute and 15 seconds longer than Kodak suggests, they say 5:30, this app says 7:45, you can check it yourself, at 24°. So, essentially the one thing that this app is meant to do, it doesn't. I'm sad that my images were so over exposed as to be essentially unusable.
