A little less than a month ago I reviewed Sylights for iPhone and iPod touch. It's a great App that allows photographers to create and share lighting diagrams on their iPhones or iPod touch devices. However, the one thing that this App was screaming for and I requested in my review was an iPad version. This App screams iPad. While the functions are pretty much the same, it's just great having the extra screen real estate.

The same App, bigger

Like I said, it's pretty much the same functionality as the iPhone version. However, the user interface has be designed and optimized for the iPad screen. While this is welcomed and exactly what I asked for, my original feature requests from the iPhone version are still in play here. The App is VERY EASY to use and you can quickly create and share diagrams. It's also the only one that I know of that is iPad native. Not to mention that it's FREE. This makes it very hard to complain. So I'm not complaining, but I would like to see a few more features. While you can attach a photo to your diagram, I'd like to be able to have the photo on the diagram itself. I'd also like the ability to represent the height of certain gear. With a 2 dimensional diagram it's hard sometimes to give the complete picture of how things were setup. This is why I'd like to have the Photo and a photo of the lighting setup on the actual diagram itself. I'd also like to see a lot more built-in symbols ore the ability to add my own. Lastly I'd like to see the App sync with the excellent sylights.com website.
