I know of none that have ALL those features in one app.

Not an iPhone app, but I seem to recall that the Kodak master photoguide did all of those plus calculate flash exposure and depth of field.

… and I prefer the pronoun “sir” rather than “boy”.

one that comes close, preferably one.

As you wish, Sir... my translator does not understand de estas cosas..

I think PhotoPills is as close as you'll get.

I think Reciprocity Timer will do most of what you're looking for. Another very useful app, IMO, for LF is Viewfinder Preview.

 

[Alex Benjamin]

Gracias

De nada.

Let me know if you use it and if it works out for you. I have it on my phone but never use it - it just has too much stuff I don't need, and I have not yet encountered a situation where I needed exposure compensation with the 4x5.

“Art of foto” app (at least for iPhone) has many things you mentioned.

Thank you very much, I'm already using the app... Great.

What I love about LF photography is that you don't need any kind of stinkin' App.

True. But my handwriting is terrible. It's nice to have a log entry I can read. The other app I use is a timer for doing development, but that's because I'm a novice at it. And still-- once, due to a bug (which the app author fixed), the timer crashed out halfway through the developer sequence, and I was forced to "make do" with a stopwatch. Negatives came out fine.

The thing that occasionally happens to me is I get a phone call while I’m developing, and until they hang up because I haven’t answered I can’t see the times or hear the notification that it’s time to agitate.

I only answer messages or call back at the end of the call.....
The most inopportune thing that happened to me was that one of my sons opened the door of the room when he was about to set a movie....

Some time ago, I bought an android tablet-- a fairly nice one, because I think tablets are cool, unless they're iTablets. Those are more like iSuppositories.

My tablet never rings.

When I retired one of the gifts the company gave me, knowing I'm an avid backpacker, was a very expensive GPS watch with dozens of features, including altitude, barometric temperature, point to point elevation change. Too complicated for me to even figure out. So I just set it as an ordinary watch, which has a stopwatch feature nice for time exposures. The one place I get "lost in the woods" is anywhere with a lot of apps.

It's not about "needing". A smartphone makes it easy to: record settings, record location, do calculations, etc.

One I also like "Viewfinder". I can set a certain film format and focal length and it gives me a preview. I often use it when I am taking a stroll and see a location/motive that might be interesting.

I have a flip phone that has something called "Airplane Mode", do the fancy iPhones, etc have that?

My wife bought me a smartphone a few months ago.

I am now shopping for a dumb phone.

Yeah, but it only works when you remember to turn it on...

Put a sticky reminder on your timer

I was thinking of setting up the timer app to have the first step in the dev process to by 30 seconds--turn on airplane mode--then it would go to the dev step.
