### 5/5 — Really Impressive

*2025-12-13*

I’m really surprised I can capture images like this on my 13 mini.

One request - support for camera grips and custom functions. PGYTech MagCam 2 is a good example. Scroll wheel could adjust modes or ISO. Rocker could be used to switch lenses. Mode button could be used to switch profiles.

### 5/5 — Please add Geo tag

*2025-09-25*

If GPS location is added in the metadata. This app will be perfect.

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-08-20, version 1.3.4*

I really love the app with all its’ features, the photos it takes and the fact the developer is constantly adding more. I’m about to buy it actually. What I’d like to see is the ability to open it with camera control button. I believe there is an option to choose 3rd party apps to be opened when it’s pressed. But the camac cam simply doesn’t show as an option in camera control settings. 
Thanks for a great tool and keep it up!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-07-24*

Much more pixel and the photo captured has more detail, highly recommended

### 5/5 — Отзыв

*2025-07-11, version 1.2.2*

Отлично, планируется ли добавление селфи камеры и возможность делать снимок кнопками громкости?
