Big set back to big travelers! Thought it would be fixed in new updates but so far none. And am I alone when camera switched from back to front there is no image unless try relaunch several times and pray? ### 4/5 — Location does not work *2019-04-13, version 4.8* One of The nicest features was the location of where the picture was taken. Now it doesn’t show it? It was the main reason I used this camera ### 2/5 — Poor *2018-12-18* Poor. Keep flash turned up. There is no way to deserted ### 2/5 — Crashes *2018-06-18* Constantly crashes when I try to make collages of my photos ### 3/5 — App crashing *2018-06-13* I used to love this app to the point where I never used my iPhone camera app. It keeps crashing now when I try to do a montage. It’s very frustrating. ### 3/5 — Bugs fixed...and created *2017-09-12* Just updated this app on my iPad Pro 9.7 running iOS 10.3.2 and the app icon (the standard black camera) is gone. Even after deleting/reinstalling the app, I only see a blank app icon with grid lines and an X. ### 3/5 — Camera Genius *2017-06-20, version 4.7* Takes to long to toggle to the front camera screen. ### 4/5 — Ed *2017-04-11, version 4.7* Update the aplicación please ### 4/5 — Great, however *2016-06-26, version 4.7* Love the app. My only problem though is that it does not allow usage of the +volume button as a shutter release. Add that and five stars! ### 2/5 — No more updates?? *2015-10-24, version 4.7* Video crashes on iPhone 6 iOS 9.1...seems developer has moved on to something else. It was a good app until I upgraded phone. ### 5/5 — Outstanning App *2015-08-28, version 4.7* This is an outstanding app. It allows one to include the location, date & time to prove a point & location. This information can be omitted if one so desires. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t used Front camera *2021-10-01* Please update App Pls. ### 1/5 — Does not work with iOS 14 upgrade! *2021-01-30* I’m so bummed! I had been a huge fan and user of this app for years, creating artistic and bizarre images using the great filters. Yesterday I upgraded to iOS 14 on my iPhone 8 and when I launch Genius it continually and instantly crashed. So I deleted it and repurchased it. But it still crashes on launch. Now I read the update history and it looks like the developer abandoned the app at least 3 years ago. If an app can’t keep up with operating system advances, it should no longer be available at the App Store. I’ve lost a good friend and I’m out $2.99. Bummed! ### 1/5 — Geo Location Stamp don’t work 😫 *2020-09-01, version 4.8* With Ios13 update the geo location don’t work. On ios10 I could manually type the location and that would be stamped on the pictures. Now only Date and times are stamped and unable to manually enter location. Please fix this bug 🐛 ### 1/5 — Location *2019-11-30* Camera use to show my location on what city I was at when the photo was taken. I double checked my phone settings and it’s all on. ### 1/5 — Abandoned App *2019-10-24* No class at all. ### 1/5 — Lies *2019-05-07* This product does not function as advertised. Please update or remove from the store. ### 1/5 — App is a piece of crap *2018-08-22* App is a piece of crap. ### 1/5 — Awful waste of money crashing constantly *2017-08-10, version 4.7* Won't work at all on any phone running latest iOS over 11.0 . Crashes won't share anything on Facebook and unreliable saving. Truthfully awful stay away ### 1/5 — Disappointing! *2016-05-17, version 4.7* The picture quality is no better than the camera already in my phone - which is not a great camera - aside from some rarely used collage options it really does little to enhance what I already had! Also, I can no longer see pictures from my gallery, they just appear as blank 'slides' so the features are impossible to use now anyway... ### 1/5 — Freeze now because of tracking I suspect *2015-06-24, version 4.7* Was a good app until last upgrade. Now it freezes if data connection is not on, and cannot report your activities to mothership. I want my money back if that is the case big brother! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 👍👍 *2019-10-10* This is one of my all-time favorite camera apps 👍👍 ### 5/5 — Great Camera *2019-07-21* Still the best camera in itunes. Most and Best features, especially date and time recorder. ### 5/5 — My most used camera app - please update for iOS11 *2017-09-15, version 4.8* Good app - stabilisation excellent for clear pictures. Hoping and crossing fingers they release an update that works with iOS11 - thinking of not upgrading till they do, as it's THAT GOOD. ### 5/5 — Great camera app *2017-06-10, version 4.7* I'm very happy to have this app. In situations where I have to reach far, being able to simply tab with my finger while holding the phone securely is very good. If I were to use the normal camera app, I would have to hold it by the corners in order to tap the button. I get nervous holding my phone that way. I recommend this app, even if you take pictures only occasionally. ### 5/5 — Super handy app *2017-05-16, version 4.7* Love the geo-tag and location burn in feature! ### 5/5 — Love this ap, please update! *2016-12-25, version 4.7* I love this ap, it's fantastic! Any update anytime? ### 5/5 — Perfect photo *2016-05-28, version 4.7* Nice app for photo, adding place where picture was done. Many options for adjusting. ### 5/5 — Repeating timer Is the best part of this app *2016-04-10, version 4.7* This app does a number of things but I use and recommend it to take serially timed images, which is a feature I haven't found in any other photo app. Usually it's limited to one or a burst. The ability to repeat every 10,15 or 30 seconds makes it easy to ensure great shots. ### 5/5 — Very good *2015-12-23, version 4.7* Very very good ### 5/5 — Excellent Camera *2015-11-10, version 4.7* This camera is a must have its easy - editing - picture taking - and creating beautiful pictures and leaves you looking good ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
