About Exposure Assistant
This application approximates the length of exposure for various B&W films (and some color films) in low light situations. In low light, extra exposure is needed due to reciprocity failure (also known as the Schwarzschild effect). As such, your camera's meter is not accurate in low light. This application approximates the proper exposure time (based upon manufacturers datasheets). A timer is now included in the application.
The application warns when the user enters an exposure longer than described in manufacturer's datasheets. Although the exposure in these instances is crudely approximated by mathematical extrapolation, it is crucial that users conduct their own exposure tests in these very long exposure situations.

User reviews
Great app! Simple and effective. Please add Tri-X 320. Thanks !
Fab for pinhole. I've always estimated my pinhole shots based on experience...which can be hit or miss. I've ended up with some shots -- that I would have way underestimated times for -- that turned out perfectly thanks to this app (20 minutes instead of my estimate of "about 5-ish..."). Thank you for creating this!
Indespensible app for film photography. I've found it spot on accurate with every stock I've tested.
A fantastic app - thank you! Would be great if Lomography Colour Negative 800 was added if at all possible. Many thanks!
Good app but missing the data for Portra 800 Edit: updated review to 5 stars
I appreciate having this app at my disposal. Very helpful.
