I'm so glad you've been using and (hopefully) enjoying the app. The pause button is really important. More often than not, the angle you need to hold the phone to meter a scene is very different from the angle you want to hold the phone to adjust the camera setting sliders. Maybe you just don't...

Howdy! Creator of Crown + Flint here! I’m glad you have the app a try. And I’m extra glad you shared your struggles here, as it helps me understand where I need to improve the app (and the way I talk about it!). There’s clearly room for improvement in the onboarding. Once you get your film and...

Just wanted to bump this, as I'm soon to release the third major revision to the app! I'm always looking for feedback, and I need some Android beta testers still, if there's any interest here. Anyway, R3 is an overhaul to the way film collections are handled, specifically the film sitting in...

Right, of course I wasn't thinking about sheet film or instant film in my questions, so my question was not well worded. Thanks for pointing that out!

Much appreciated y’all!

I appreciate the responses! I've made a typeform to collect future responses in a more rigorous way. I'd love your feedback! https://66dyx6cdwle.typeform.com/to/IXj03dBL

So far, the sentiment seems to be uninterested, because any kind of metadata collection is too much bother. And that's fair—we have to ask ourselves how useful this is to each of us! And if it's not useful, then I'm not solving your problem, just creating new ones o_O For my own part, I prefer...

Oh yeah, for printmaking, meticulous notes are a must. And screens that can turn on unexpectedly are very unwelcome! Nevermind that simply drawing on a proof is far more succinct than any app can offer.

This is why I gave up writing out notes by hand. Takes far too long. I'm trying to get the nuisance factor down to well inside "tolerable" with this app—so that it's only slightly more bothersome than using an external meter (which for most of my work I'm doing anyway). I can imagine that with...

What I’ve always done is number each sleeve and put the data you mention on an index card (with the correlating sleeve number) that I tuck into the binder. So, now that you mention it, it’s important my app can print such sheets for me.

I’ve used a variety of tools over the years to record metadata on the shots I take with my film cameras. I started with a “hipster PDA” (aka a pile of index cards held together with a binder clip), fancy notebooks, and most recently the NOSSAFLEX app. I’m pretty unhappy with all of these options...

Title says it all, really. Not overly worried about appearances, so long as the optics are good. Oh, and must be willing to ship to Portugal.

Let me know if there’s anything I can do to smooth the way. It’s a lovely place to visit and to live!

Thanks! I’ll see if I can convince some local folks I know to join us too.

Howdy!
