    This app is truly a gift! The colour science, lens simulations, and UI are an absolute joy to use.The standout feature is how it eliminates the iPhone’s overly sharp, artificial look. My favourite colour profile is Leica Chrome—it delivers such a stunning aesthetic.Here’s my editing process for the best results:1.Shoot in ‘P’ mode with the Leica Chrome colour profile, using the 24mm or 120mm lenses. This ensures you get the highest resolution and the most natural-looking image.2.Add background blur and grain afterwards in Lightroom Mobile. The new AI blur feature makes it incredibly easy to create a realistic background blur while preserving top-notch resolution.While the Leica app offers background blur in ‘A’ mode, the image quality suffers, and the blur itself isn’t applied as seamlessly.Finally, an app that delivers stunning colour science while removing the artificial sharpening! I’ve used other apps like Halide before, but Leica’s colour science is hard to beat.

  • Cool but not versatile and strong in all aspects

    Beyond the ocean

    I hope Leica Lux team understand that we are paying a premium money for a premium app, despite the app is cool to use but still to far in order to be use as the only or main app for photography in our phone. The RAW format is way worse than any other camera apps. I’m using other app for RAW which the picture quality is much better and sharper than this, however we can have lots of fun with the A mode, Leica pictures profiles and lenses simulation. But if you want to take a quality and pure RAW pictures, this is not the one and it’s better Leica see other apps.

  • A must have!

    Bought an iPhone 16 pro to take photos of my newborn, but I could never take good ones. I now use Leica, and it turns you into a professional photog overnight. No editing required - it’s built into the photos themselves. Absolutely recommend

    I’m a bit concerned. For a paid app of this calabre I have repeatedly the same issues. The app freezes. Constantly re opening the app is very annoying. Moving between profiles are glitchy. On the other hand the images are of high quality. Unfortunately if these issues don’t get attended to soon I’ll be cancelling my subscription. Ps I’m using a iPhone 16 max pro Don’t think it’s the device. It’s attention to detail in this case.

  • Lux with Lux Grip

    I’ve had the Lux app for a while. I just bought the Leica Lux Grip and it changed everything! With the Grip the App seems to come alive. It’s much more usable too thanks to the controls on the grip and the quality feel of the grip adds a tactile dimension to photography that is vastly superior to tapping on a screen. Can’t stop using the Leica 1A effect!! I have a real 1A too so getting the effect on a phone is really interesting.

  • Basically perfect

    Really brings out the power of the iPhone camera, I mostly use leica natural mode in a sort of point and shoot configuration. There is no app better than this for my style of shooting.
