Almost

You can’t control the f stop.

Manual focus doesn’t work

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

Used to be my go to camera app

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.

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

Keeps getting better 👍

愛用

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?

Response from developer

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。

Wow!

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

Burst mode broken

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

Updated: Best camera app around

Update: Thanks for the response! You helped solve my problem, had to add the Siri shortcut through the Camera M app for a shortcut with the “Switch to Telephoto Camera” action to appear. It’s not available as an action to add to shortcuts otherwise which caused my confusion as it seemed like it should be given the widget for it and since there are other Camera M actions available without adding Siri shortcuts so that may be something for the devs to look at.

I had been using the Camera M control button to replace the normal camera control on the lock screen/pull down control center, but wanted to open directly to the telephoto camera and exposure screen, which I can now do by adding the Siri shortcuts for both, pasting the action from one into the other, and replacing the lock screen/control center button with it. Really speeds things up, important when there’s a moment you want to capture, and doesn’t require Siri, a widget, or an automation. Thanks!

(Would be cool to have a shortcut/shortcut action to set a particular ISO too since I almost always use a very low one to reduce noise, part of why I love this app is being able to control ISO, but that’s probably a pretty niche request)

Please add shortcuts to open to specific lens

I love this app but the only feature missing is being able to open a particular lens every time the camera is opened on iPhone pro models. Please add shortcuts that can be configured to open a specific lens such as 3x, Blackmagic Cam has shortcuts that do this but it cannot take still photos.

The “enjoying Camera M” popup is very annoying

I’m trying to take a picture with manual settings. I don’t need to be asked every two seconds if I like the app. Now I like it a lot less than I did.

FEBRUARY 2026 still:DATA NOT COLLECTED! that's what you should know first

EXCELLENT CAMERA!
can other apps say the same?

love it had it for years,i own it no subscription
loooove it! way better than the famous competition pushed by some podcasters. if you DON'T LIKE HALIDE, then this app is for you 😊

if i was the developer i'd lean heavy on "DATA NOT COLLECTED"

It’s good!

Edit Jan 2026 - the latest update leveled this app with other contenders and has addressed many of my complaints.

While I had moved on to using other apps, I’m going to spend some time again with Camera M and see if it will stay on my main page.

Second impressions are good, although there are still some silly bugs here and there, especially if you’re trying to replace the iPhone camera from your lock screen.

For the price, this is really a good camera app and also one of the rare ones that has optical image stabilization.

Useless

Doesn’t do anything and I think I got charged for it…shutter speed is the same as the phone. You do not need this app with an IPhone.

Still Professional Photo Dedicated

As a professional photographer who sold all his mirrorless pro gear to go strictly mobile, this app deserves to be on top of the stack of shooting apps. I’ve tried the highest reviewed and chose now to use the best performing!

Лучшее

Лучшее приложение на iPhone Air. Просто и быстро

Приносим извинения за доставленные неудобства. Попробуйте наше последнее обновление. Если проблемы всё ещё возникают, сообщите нам.

Bien avant maj

Application is cool but Since granting permission for the microphone, the application launches but closes immediately..
Please update this bug

PLEASE, PLEASE

I was ready to rag on how mundane this major update is, but after reading that you guys are a two person development team, I have changed my tune. You guys are freaking amazing given the limited resources. Keep pushing forward and I’m wishing you all the best.
The graphical design interface in this app is absolutely one of the best I’ve seen.
I’m hoping for true ISO and Shutter speed priority modes that adapt automatically to varying exposures in the future maybe? 🤷🏾‍♂️🤔
Anyway keep up the good work.

Please Fix

The best there is

Hands down the best UI in a camera app I’ve used yet, and I’ve been working with pro camera apps since Apple opened up the API in iOS 8. This one has the most intuitive controls by far, paired with a beautifully designed interface. I especially like how the background behind the controls tints itself to reflect the scene being captured.
Nothing missing in terms of functionality either, a very nice touch is that the current focus, ISO, shutter speed and white balance values are shown in realtime when in automatic mode.
