a little buggy

V. 1.0.2 is a little buggy - though it functions pretty well, we encountered things like focus peaking not switching when toggled. Also found the "wheel" control worse than a normal slider as it lacks positional feedback. Choice of formats is nice and UI is nice other than the wheel, though we had to read manual to understand icons' roles

Comparison

I’m not sure why but the stock camera app is providing better quality (sharp and distinct) photos compared to this app.

Response from developer

Hi there! We did have a bug in early releases relating to previews of ProRAW images, where they weren't as sharp as they should have been. The photos themselves should be unaffected and this has since been resolved. If you're still having this issue, please let us know via the in-app bug reporter or via support@latenitesoft.com.

Ridiculous Pricing Model

A $40 one time purchase or a perpetual subscription to use a camera app is ridiculous.

First impressions

Controls are optimized for portrait shots. Difficult for landscape shots which I consider the pro mode, as such , I’ll pass on this app

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback, if you'd like to detail what could feel better in landscape, we'd really like to hear it. You can send us a note via support@latenitesoft.com or the in-app bug reporter. Thanks again!

Don’t bother using as a free app

Don’t bother using as a free app, unless you’re willing to fork out the heavy pricing. Each startup of this app constantly nags you to pay. You’re better off using the stock camera app.

Waste of Time

Makes no sense. I love the pricing options as I’m a fan of lifetime purchases and their lifetime pricing is perfect ($39 at the time of writing). The problem however is that you cannot even try taking a photo when you download the app and try using any of the manual settings. How are you supposed to try the app to decide if it’s for you if you cannot even take one single photo after changing the manual settings?! Disrespectful to the user’s time. Deleted and will never use again.
