Awesome... but...

I’ve been using the pro version for over a year now. It’s an incredible app, as other comments say you can take a clear picture of the moon. However, when recording video, sometimes it switches from 60fps to 240fps. I use it to record myself in classes I teach, so there’s no one looking at the camera. I had to repeat a 30 minute video more than once. Would love if they can fix this problem.

Excellent app

Very simple to use
Works great.

Just amazing.

Complex settings simplified. Very smart. All the settings I need without “Feature Bloat.”

Great for Smartphone Astrophotography

I got this app so that I could have more control over my phone’s camera (manual focus, shutter speed, ISO, etc.) so that I could take images and videos of the planets (mostly) and other brighter objects in the sky with my smartphone. My telescope is a 6-inch reflector, not motorized, and so I just let the planets move across the screen, using the grid feature to guide/aline the camera, to get footage for stacking
The app gives you a huge amount of control over your camera, including focus, exposure, white-point, and several different combinations of framerate+quality (e.g. high quality at 60fps, which I use for getting more high-quality frames of planets).
Overall, this app is amazing for smartphone astrophotography, and the full version is very affordable.

My only suggestion/request is, I think it would be cool to have an optional point/crosshair in the center of the screen— just like the grid— as sort of a guidance point.

Great camera app but.....

.....It needs a shutter noise to tell you when it starts and stops recording video

Ty

Thank you so muchhh🤍

Haptic Feedback and better rotate camera button

If the rotate camera button was instant it would be far more amazing. Also I would recommend putting the rotate camera button at the bottom of the app for ease of use. Shutter sounds and or haptic feedback when taking a phot is kinda like a must these days. Please add this. I bought the full version.

Love the grey card and the $1.99 no-ad version!

I wanted to take color-wise consistent pictures of products for a website/eBay. Nothing super professional, just a simple way of roughly controlling color temperature. This app is perfect. I don’t need to use any of the other manual features, still just point and shoot. But I made myself a grey card and I point the camera at it to lock in the color temperature every time I take product photos. And my colors have been coming out wonderfully, without the camera “compensating” based on an incorrect guess. I went ahead and paid the $1.99 for the pro version to remove ads, and voila! Perfect! Thanks for the great one-time price!

Great app

I needed a camera with adjustable exposure to test my monitor refresh rate and luckily I found this app that let me change the exposure/shutter speed. I enjoy the customizability this app gives me so I got the full version for every feature. 10/10 would recommend.

Useless

I don’t know what does this app offers as compared to the built in iPhone camera one. Everything listed here is half baked
