Great little app!
This one really does what it says, no fuss. After playing for a few hours, I can think of a few simple enhancement e.g. a live view mode where a picture is taken at regular intervals.
Also it is not totally clear how the scale parameter works.
Still a great tool for Rpi camera users.

Update coming?
App needs to be updated to incorporate the recent changes in PI OS camera commands.
I like the app, it would be a lot more useful if the GUI incorporated timelapse and video - basically an open source GoPro.

No Live Preview
Not having such an expected function doesn’t help the experience.
Since there is no live preview there is now way of knowing what the picture will look like before taking a pic.

Hi there... something to consider in the future but yeh focus is on making this as easy to get up and running as possible for most folks without the need to set up complex streaming applications on their Pi. Once I have posted an upcoming update on the app itself, I’ll take a look and see what options I can consider. Hope the inconvenience of not previewing doesn’t hinder you too much... I liken it to using an old film camera and it’s quite fun not knowing what you’re going to get
Great remote control of the raspberry pi camera
Is there any chance of getting support for the new HQ Raspberry Pi camera?
In the past I've found BerryCam very useful for wireless control of astrophotography with the Raspberry Pi camera module. It has been quite reliable and gives access to most of the options I need. I did have to modify the python script that runs the server on the Raspberry Pi to add the time lapse parameters that I need, but that was not too hard.

Hi there yes currently working on a new version which will cover the functionality of the new HQ Camera. I’ve been testing it for a number of weeks and pretty happy with the results. Looking to post the update very soon. Thanks for your kind comments!
Works well on pi4
Pi: Pi 4 (4gb)
OS: Raspbian (Buster)
Cam: V2.0 8mp
Remarkably simple setup. I was able to ssh over my phone and get the necessary .py file. Thats all you need actually. Run the script and enter the ip address of the pi on the app and you’re up running. Took all of 2 minutes. I haven't ran into any of the issues others have been mentioning.
