But it didn’t have any effect. Can’t take pictures and view them. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-01-06, version 1.5.1* The app does not request access to photos, so it is impossible to allow this. Without it, no saved photos. An email to ask for support is not delivered despite using the link in the app. Best to stay away. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work *2018-12-23, version 1.5.1* Just paid for this app. Looked good but doesn't work, tho it says my iPhone is compatible. Not worked out how to raise an issue, either its mega complicated or the developer no longer exists ... BEWARE ### 2/5 — It no longer works 😭 *2018-12-19* I’ve used and loved this app for years but now that I’ve upgraded to an iPhone XS the app no longer works. It can’t save the images it takes as it asks endlessly for permission to save photos to my phone. I’ve granted every permission I can but when I go to privacy>photos the app doesn’t appear in the list to grant read&write permission. I have emailed the developer twice but it has bounced both time. Hope some update happens to fix this issue! ### 1/5 — Used to work now doesn’t *2018-12-02* It used to work fine, now it keeps popping up saying that we need to authorize every feature. It is completely authorized and still pops up constantly and will not work ### 1/5 — Can’t take photos *2018-11-19, version 1.5.1* I paid for this app and I can’t even take photos. It says I need to give it permission to save photos, but there’s no place to “give it permission to save photos so I can view them” in settings. Please update your app. ### 4/5 — Best Anti-Shake and Level Combined, but… *2018-07-02* The app really needs a feature to control the proximity sensor sensitivity! I want my anti-shake photos as sharpest as they can be, and that cannot be achieved unless I can turn the sensitivity on the proximity sensor to the highest possible level! Other than that, this app has solved my picture taken problem! ### 2/5 — Not convinced *2017-07-06, version 1.5.1* The exposure is awkward it's doesn't work properly, it seems like no matter where you move you finger the light doesn't change much! Also noticed that the image is slightly darker than the stock camera. I don't think I will be using this as setting up exposure and focus isn't as intuitive as the iPhone stock camera. Would like to receive a refund please ### 3/5 — Missing options *2016-09-10, version 1.5.1* I bought this for the big button feature, but can't seem to access the front/back camera option in the full version. ### 4/5 — Awesome app *2015-09-28* This camera is great. Love the big button feature. Makes it so easy to take pictures. Love it! ### 2/5 — My opinion *2015-08-22, version 1.5.1* Nice camera,should have a video ,with Pause.... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No longer works and it’s super annoying *2019-07-06, version 1.5.1* No longer works since I change from iPhone 6 to 7. Lame. ### 1/5 — CameraSharp sucks *2019-06-23, version 1.5.1* Purchased and it will not save my pictures. There’s not an option in the settings. If face although the App Store shows it downloaded it doesn’t look like it is on my phone. I would like my money back or do I have to go through Apple to get my money back. Plus it’s not showing as purchased on my husbands phone. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work any more *2019-06-22* It used to work but now it is asking for me to give permission in privacy settings and yet there is no setting to allow camera roll access. On my wife’s version on iPhone6s it has a read/write permission but on my iphone8 it does not. Can’t save any pictures. Did a whole photo shoot thinking it was being captured and nothing was saved. Otherwise it’s a handy app for self shot photos. ### 1/5 — CameraSharp *2019-06-17, version 1.5.1* No longer works. IOS 12, iPhone 8. There’s a bug here that won’t recognize the Settings. Don’t download until you see a developer response to these reviews. ### 1/5 — Access to save photos *2019-06-05, version 1.5.1* Downloaded app as looked great. When trying to use it says need to amend privacy setting to allow access to photos, but there is no setting within photos to allow this so unable to take, save, view anything ### 1/5 — There’s an issue *2019-06-03* This used to be a great app, but it’s not communicating with the phone after the latest IOS update. The app tells me to update my settings every time I use it and the photos still aren’t saving to my phone. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2019-03-10, version 1.5.1* The app doesn’t save the photo even though the settings toggle is “allowed”. No response from the author. Perfect waste of time. ### 1/5 — No longer works *2019-03-09, version 1.5.1* A great App that no longer works with iOS 12. Disappointing! ### 1/5 — CameraSharp *2019-02-27, version 1.5.1* Doesn’t work with 12.1.4. App help goes nowhere. Stay away. ### 1/5 — No work it *2019-02-07, version 1.5.1* No work it give me back my money... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-07-12* Exactly what i was looking for. Does exactly what the app descrip. I only wish when taking interval photos they make the info on the screen smaller. ### 5/5 — Easy to use, straightforward *2017-12-22, version 1.5.1* I like it. Bought the app on a very old and slow iPhone 4 but loving it on the new (to me) iPhone 6. I don’t want for anymore that it provides, just simple straightforward shooting. I want to just shoot with it and not fiddle with filters and options. I like the whole screen button a lot too ### 5/5 — Great app & easy! *2016-11-09* Seamless integration into the iOS, powerful and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2015-12-29* This is an awesome app. I really like the anti-shake feature. I have a pretty shaky grip, so often I end up with blurry pictures. There are several lines on the camera button they go from two lines down to one. When you are about to take the picture the word "steady" appears to show the picture is ready to take. There are other features that I still have to explore. The photo quality is great. I have to say that I am most impressed with the customer service. I was having trouble getting the app to work. No sooner did I send an email, I received a reply from David Zhang. He helped me work through all the issues. It was truly a pleasure working with someone who went well out of his way to ensure I would be able to use the app. I definitely recommend this app. Thanks David for all your help. ### 5/5 — Awesome App!!! *2015-10-06, version 1.5.1* Great App! I love the whistle and clap feature and thats all I use this app for! Keep up the good work!!! ### 5/5 — Does it all!! *2015-10-06, version 1.5.1* A simple to use camera app that's even better than the default! I can't recommend this highly enough! ### 5/5 — Good features, easy to use *2015-08-13* I like the exposure and focus mentioned by others. Also like the set number and timed multi. Often easier to do than using timer. Then I just pitch the pics I don't want. ### 5/5 — Great! *2015-07-24, version 1.5.1* Wonderful app. ### 5/5 — Good Get it *2015-06-22, version 1.5.1* Steady, level, quick, sharp. What more do you need? ### 5/5 — I like it! *2015-04-07, version 1.5.1* Let's you take pictures when memory is full unlike stock iOS camera. Handy feature if you hit full memory at a bad time. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
