### 4/5 — Used to be my go to camera app

*2026-07-23, version 9.3.1*

Love the app, if you could adjust the default exposure values that would be great. There’s a few times where the shot looks good then I take the picture and the exposure is higher than it looked before taking the shot. Other than that I love the app

### 3/5 — Almost

*2026-07-14, version 9.3.1*

You can’t control the f stop.

### 1/5 — Manual focus doesn’t work

*2026-06-30, version 9.3.1*

The sole reason I paid for this app was so I could set focus to infinity when taking pictures through glass etc. However, when I set focus to infinity (while leaving all other settings on auto), the pictures come out unusably blurry

### 3/5 — Used to be my go to camera app

*2026-06-26, version 9.3.1*

This app used to be my daily camera app until the last few updates. I’m not joking I take two pictures… Both in manual mode and both the same exact iso and same exact shutter speed only difference is I shot the first in SINGLE and the second in LIVE and you’d think the exposure and brightness would be pretty similar well it’s significantly different. Enough to the point where I can no longer shoot in single mode because single mode RUINS the photo. Please fix the single mode when in manual. It’s the exposure and brightness that’s wayy off than where it should be. Granted it looks totally fine before taking the shot and then guess what ?  After taking the shot it looks way different any ruined. There’s been many times where i took important photos and had to delete all of them because they were ruined.

### 3/5 — Удобно, но базовые проблемы с сохранением

*2026-06-23*

Удобное приложение, много разных настроек. 
Но крайне раздражает следующий момент: если запустить камеру с рабочего стола, то все ок, он фотографирует именно в том формате, который указан. Если запустить камеру с кнопки быстрого доступа на экране ожидания, то камера фотографирует в рандомном формате, как повезет: heif, raw. Не понимаю от чего зависит.
Т.е разные настройки для камеры, в зависимости от того,  откуда идет запуск…
Если это не поправят, то задумайтесь - покупать или нет.

**Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш отзыв. Запуск с экрана блокировки: если приложение запускается при заблокированном телефоне, оно не запоминает формат файла из-за внутренних настроек конфиденциальности. В будущем мы внесем соответствующие улучшения. А пока — приятного использования Camera M.

### 5/5 — Prima

*2026-06-06*

Tolle App für Fotografen, die selber bestimmen wollen, wie das Bild aussehen soll.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Bitte lassen Sie uns wissen, wenn Sie zukünftig Fragen oder Feedback haben.

### 5/5 — The Airbrusher

*2026-05-11, version 9.3*

Keeps getting better 👍

### 5/5 — 愛用

*2026-05-09*

とってもいいです。特にfocus peakingがとってもいいです。
8倍は純正カメラアプリだけですか？
ーーーーーーー
8xレンズが使える様になりました。丁寧な対応をして頂きありがとございます。

**Developer response:** こんにちは。レビューをいただき、ありがとうございます。Camera Mは、iPhone 17 ProおよびPro Maxに搭載された新しい8倍カメラに対応しております。カメラ選択画面にて、その選択肢が表示されているはずです。もし表示されていない場合は、お手数ですが contact@camera-m.com までご連絡ください。

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2026-05-02, version 9.2.1*

Smooth, thoughtfully designed. The tool I utilize most often day to day. Second nature now …
Thank you!!

### 1/5 — Burst mode broken

*2026-03-26, version 9.2.1*

Purchased to use burst mode, ideally with apple watch. Burst mode does not work outright even in app.
