FAQ.

ReefCam is coming soon. A prepared app build is under review, with live App Store purchases and physical-device color and video validation still pending. A verified download link will be added when the exact listing is live.

The prepared app keeps still-photo capture and selected-photo imports free. Video is the extra feature covered by the planned Video Unlock.

The planned U.S. price is $2.99 for a one-time purchase, with no subscription. The prepared build includes StoreKit purchase and restoration flows. Live product availability and signed sandbox verification remain pending; the app will show the final localized price before a purchase becomes available.

Auto aims to reduce a scene-dependent blue-light cast. Calibrated holds white balance from a validated neutral reference on the lens used for that reference; it is not a multi-patch color measurement. Pop is a separate creative enhancement. Results depend on lighting and capture conditions, and physical color accuracy remains unverified.

Use a suitable neutral reference and follow the app’s guidance. Recalibrate after changing the tank lighting, phone, lens, or other optics. A replacement phone of the same model also needs a fresh reference. A saved profile does not establish that a different setup will reproduce the same color.

The prepared build records silent portrait video, with a limit of three minutes per clip. Output is SDR H.264 in a .mov file, capped at a 1280-pixel long edge without upscaling. Those are implementation limits; real-device frame delivery, thermal behavior, and quality still need validation. No frame-rate guarantee is offered.

No. ReefCam’s prepared video feature records silently and does not request microphone access.

Check Saved locally for a retained original, corrected photo, or clip. Use Save to Photos to retry, or Share local copy to copy it to a destination you choose. Sharing can leave the app’s copy in place; remove it separately when ready. An interrupted partial movie may not be playable, so recovery is best-effort.

The prepared app processes media on your device and does not upload it to the developer or an image-processing server. User-chosen sharing, Apple purchases, system backups, and iCloud Photos are separate. Original or imported image metadata, including existing location information, may be preserved. Read the privacy policy for the full scope.

The screenshots show actual ReefCam Simulator UI with generated synthetic reef content. They illustrate controls and modes. Physical-device color and video evaluation remains pending.
