Pros and cons of Photo Academy app for iPhone and iPad

Photo Academy app good for

This a cool app and now that the in app purchase add on for free !! Thats good lol
Very nice app. Its very helpful and informative. Love the photography samples.
If you love taking pictures you will love this app it give you great tips on how to take great pics
Pretty Awesome, Havent had a chance to go through it all, but so far it has everything I need!
love this app! its a must have for DSLR newbies.. LOTS of info on getting to know your camera.
The name of the app says it all. It is an app which is extremely educational and can be very useful to anyone who wants to learn or is serious about photography. The app has something for everyone, basic techniques and guidelines for learners, and the option of creating personal diaries/notes for the more advanced learners to help keep a record of your own setting and ideas. I could go on and on regarding the usefulness of this app ... Just buy it and see it yourself.

Some bad moments

Wonderful resource for people who have just upgraded to a DSLR or Micro 4/3s camera and have no idea what they are doing. I use this app every time I get out my camera.
I like this app a lot. Its a reference when you cant remember a technique
I love this app! It really helps me understand quickly....almost like a cheat sheet for beginners.
Its like cheap photography lesson. Wont tell you everything but will give you the basics and examples so you know what to practice and study later on in depth.
I know its a little pricey, but I think you will find a well organized and fairly comprehensive guide on shooting pictures. Its about what I would expect to pay for a book that would give the same amount of material.
Everything else has been working great for me just learning the basics in dslr, but the examples of the photos are not loading. I think it would help me more to have the examples work.
