Excellent app absolutely worth the purchase price

This is an excellent app and allows a blind person to take a selfie independently and it looks excellent

Revolutionizing selfie taking!

This app is such a game changer. I am visually impaired and getting my face framed and seeing the screen outside has always been so tricky that I have actually stopped taking photos while outside. Been playing around with this since downloading and it is so simple and easy to use, yet has everything you need to take a successful selfie. Excited to use it more, and see the evolution of this app over time. 100% worth it, whether VI or not!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the review I am very pleased you find it so easy to use as this was the number one reason for building such a stripped back camera app - thank you for taking time to post a review!

Works flawlessly!!!

I’m visually impaired and if it’s sunny outside I can at times barely see my screen. It is a struggle for a lot of us low vision people. So having an app like this that automatically finds your face and snaps the selfie is so amazing! Works perfectly!!! I think this app could be useful for anybody regardless of vision issues.

THANK YOU SO MUCH I am a solo developer and this means a lot in my first month, thank you for taking the time to post a review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Game Changing Camera App - Perfect for Selfies Anywhere!!

Black Lens is honestly one of the best camera apps I’ve ever used. It lets you take selfies with either the front or the back camera, and the face-detection is unbelievably accurate. What really makes it stand out is how it helps you hold the phone in the perfect position without needing to see the screen.

Whether it’s too sunny, too dark, or you’re trying to get a natural shot without staring at the display, Black Lens guides you into place and captures the photo flawlessly. The framing is spot on, and the photos come out crystal clear every time.

I didn’t expect to love this app as much as I do, but now I genuinely use it more than my built-in camera. It makes taking proper selfies so much easier and more natural.

If you want better photos without the hassle, Black Lens is an absolute must-have. Highly recommended! 📸✨
