Track your roll like a real film camera! Version 2.5 introduces an all-new continuous Film Frame Counter so you always know exactly which shot you’re on.

Automatic Film Frame Counter: Keeps track of your roll from frame 0 to 36. Counting automatically wraps with each new roll, or extends linearly beyond 36 if you shoot longer rolls or bulk-loaded film.

Smart Counter Sync: Manually editing a frame number resynchronizes the counter so your next shot seamlessly continues from frame + 1.

Refined Photo Layout: ISO, aperture, and shutter speed are now clean and top-centered in the photo detail view, putting your technical exposure data right where you need it.

Reliable EXIF & Frame Saving: Fixed an issue where black-and-white images dropped EXIF metadata. Your exposure settings and frame numbers are now preserved reliably across restarts and updates.

Crafted to perfection to keep your analog workflow clean, accurate, and effortless. Happy shooting!

Browsing your photo references is now even easier!

Capture Dates in the Gallery
See exactly when each photo was taken without opening it. Capture dates now appear directly on your gallery thumbnails, making it easier to find the shot you're looking for.

Swipe Between Photos
Review your reference photos more naturally. Simply swipe left or right while viewing a photo to move to the previous or next image without returning to the gallery.

Improvements & Fixes
We've also made several under-the-hood improvements and fixed bugs to keep Aperture running smoothly.

Thank you for using Aperture - Light Meter, and happy shooting!

Big improvements for film photographers!
Cooler, Longer Shooting Sessions
We've completely redesigned the camera preview to make Aperture more efficient. Your iPhone now stays cooler and uses less battery, especially during long photo walks and shooting sessions.

Faster and Smoother Light Metering
The light meter is now even more efficient, delivering smooth and responsive exposure readings without unnecessary battery drain.

Better Gallery Experience
When browsing your reference photos, Aperture now fully pauses the camera in the background. This helps keep your device cool while reviewing previous shots.

Low-Light Shot Indicators
Wondering which photos were taken under difficult lighting conditions? Photos captured while the Low Light warning was active are now clearly marked:
• A red metadata row in the gallery.
• A new LOW LIGHT label in the photo details.
Quickly identify challenging scenes and learn from every frame.

Thank you for supporting Aperture - Light Meter!

We’ve added a powerful new way to control your shots, along with some performance tune-ups to keep your analog photography workflow seamless.
Zone System Exposure: Take full creative control! You can now calculate exposure based on specific zone selection. Just like a pro, you can "place" your shadows and highlights exactly where you want them for perfect tonal range in every 35mm or medium format shot.
Refined Performance: We’ve squashed some minor bugs and improved overall stability. Your light meter is now even faster and more reliable on iOS 26.

Stop guessing and start creating with confidence. Happy shooting!
