Leave a Review Camera M
My new default camera app
Like many, I’ve bounced around camera apps over the years. I’ve recently started doing semi pro shooting and was happy with Halide until I tried Camera-M.
This app is packed with tons of actual usable features that just makes other apps useless. Make the investment and you will love it!Don Escobar
Best Camera App
I couldn’t decide between three camera apps (Camera-M, Halide, & Obscura 2) so rather than take someone else’s word for it I purchased all three to try.
After spending the last couple of days with them how Camera-M isn’t a top 10 app in Photo & Video I’ll never understand.. The only reason I can figure is hype for the others and lack of word of mouth so I’m here to do my part. If I had to rank them it would be:
#1 Camera-M
#2 Obscura 2
#3 Halide
This app just feels well designed, clean, and fun to use. I took my best shots and was most inspired while using it. Obscura 2 had a couple of features that I liked but overall just did not match Camera-M. Don’t even get me started on Halide.. I’ll just say for me it felt like I could have just taken the 5 bucks, set it on fire and got about the same satisfaction.
With so many choices out there and so little information to go on it’s hard to settle on one especially with a limited budget but I’m so glad I found this app!Show lessSooner4Life76

Thank you Sooner4Life76 for your kind words! Our two-person team work very hard on Camera-M to be the best manual camera app for iOS. Feedback like yours goes a long way and is essential for the well being of the app. We would like to offer you our deepest gratitude! If you have an concerns or other feedback, please do not hesitate to reach out to us: contact@camera-m.com3.0 is seriously polished
The new update is really enjoyable. While it’s a major version update, this isn’t one of those x.0 updates that takes a perfectly good UI and trashes it in favor of something nobody asked for. It’s the same, solid UI as before, but snappier and quicker to use. (The constant warnings about RAW files, for example, are gone—and they were only there in the first place because some people were using RAW without knowing anything about it.)Show lessCdrSpock

UPDATED RESPONSE: Camera-M 3 will be out in few days and we believe we have implemented a perfect solution for this. Please stay tuned. Thank you for your kind words and the constructive feedback, dalahäst. Camera-M does indeed save the depth map, when using the “Normal Depth Photo” setting. We think the confusion is the result of not seeing the depth effect being automatically applied/enabled, when viewing a depth photo in the default iOS Photos app, or attempting to edit it elsewhere. As you may know, the current version of Camera-M provides 2 options for depth photo saving. “Processed Depth Photo” applies the depth effect to a captured photo, without an option to edit or disable it at a later time. “Normal Depth Photo” option attaches a corresponding depth map information to a photo on non-permanent basis — which allows for it to be edited or disabled, as needed. Our intentions with this approach, were to give Camera-M’s users more control over how they wanted to store their depth photos. In hindsight, it is obvious that this system may, at times, cause confusion. So, a reworked and a more straightforward method is in the works. We hope to resolve any existing confusion with an updated version very soon. In the meantime, please, remember that once you turn on a photo’s Portrait effect in the Photos app — you will be able to view and edit the photo’s depth effect in your favorite photo editing app. Enabling the effect will also correctly place the photo in the Portrait album. We appreciate you choosing Camera-M. And once again, thank you for your valuable feedback, dalahäst!iPhone 8. Very Low Quality Production.—Disappointed
IPhone 8. I am really disappointed to have wasted money in this app.— Very Low Quality Production in all what it is claiming to do.—Even the person who wrote an outstanding review about this app is not true.—I have hundreds of great cámaras but this one falls short in its claimed.—A horrible yellow background, there is no way to enlighten the app for a nice depth photograph or a regular photograph.—For a Camara still in need of developments it is expensive.— The control buttons don’t offer great controls and commands are not aligned.— I am completely disappointed for just a cámara incapable of even balancing normal color settings.—Cámara M needs more developments for such expensive price.—Show lessPush too soon for review

I researched camera apps for a few hours and finally decided on this one. I love it. It has all the features I want. I don’t think this app is getting as much publicity as some others, but it should.David J. M.
Half of the features do not work
Suddenly, and sadly, when shooting in raw, the images come out blurry. There is an issue of software with the Wide and Telephoto in the iPhone 8 Plus. I got this app for the raw image manipulation. Now, it’s useless.
No stars.
* The problem with the RAW file it’s not in the preview only. The actual end product it’s blurry and out of focus in RAW only format. It can’t be used it’s like someone shot it through many plastic lenses. No focus, no crispness.Show lessAllalloum

Brilliant Camera App
I love this app. I've been using it for a around a year or so and I've always found it to be a fantastic app, producing great quality images and having some great, very intuitive features with a very well laid out interface.
I can't understand why this app rating is sitting at 3.9 out of 5 stars at the time of publishing this review as it is an excellent app, great features, works very well and is very stable.
Also, the service provided by the developer is second to none.
I would have no problems whatsoever in recommending this app, and I have particularly high standards when it comes to camera apps.Show lessRichie00007

Thank you Richie00007 for your great review! Regarding Depth mode, we worked hard on the depth photo rendition to make it smooth as possible. Would you be willing to share more details with us? contact@camera-m.com. We are eager to fix any issues that may exist.Love this camera!
Edit after a lightning-fast response from the developer:
After trying a half-dozen camera apps with similar features, I landed on this one and was instantly hooked. Intuitive controls and a great design had me snapping happily away early on. My own misunderstanding about file formats and previews led me to believe there was a bug, but the developer reached out and quickly helped me remedy the issue. Now I can safely say that this was the camera app I was looking for all along.Show lessbumbleguff
Developer Response
Thank bumbleguff, for your interest in Camera-M! Were you shooting 'RAW' without JPEG option? And when you say blurry, were you going by the preview in Camera Roll? If so, please remember, 'RAW' by it self has a low resolution preview. However, the actual RAW image is untouched and is indeed is in full resolution. You can confirm this when you open the actual RAW file in your favorite RAW editing platform. If you are bothered by this low resolution preview, you can shoot in 'RAW+JPEG' option. This embeds a full resolution JPEG and the preview would look proper in high resolution. We have RAW only option for people who wants to have smaller file sizes. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us: contact@camera-m.com.Used to work great but now seems to interfere...
With regular iPhone camera. I can’t describe it but sometimes when I attempt to take a picture with the regular Apple camera but not only won’t allow the photograph to be taken but it starts blinking uncontrollably.
I’ve owned 10 iPhones and never seen this problem occur until I downloaded Camera-M.Show lessJust Garett
