Great app but... abandoned?

This used to be a frequently updated app but there have been no updated in over two years. Plenty of improvements still to be made, guys. Apart from that, great app. Way better photos than the stock camera app.

NEEDS UPDATE

This used to be an amazing app, now it crashes every single time I try to take a picture. Hasn’t been updated in 2 years!! Ridiculous! Completely unusable as of now.
