Good but crashes
I really liked the overall interface and the auto settings are much appreciated and resulted in some nice pics and videos. However I am averaging a crash every 3 out of 5 dives or so (and lately more like every dive). Take a pic or video and then whoops - the app crashes and you are stuck on the Home Screen with no ability to take pics for the rest of the dive.

Only option for Kraken housing and 48 MP iP 14 pro …
That’s the only reason I am giving this 2 stars, otherwise it would be one star.
Why is the camera preview so small?
Why doesn’t the Macro mode of the iPhone 14 work? Should auto switch to macro when focus gets to close for main lens (when in 12MP mode).
+/- physical buttons should be used for focus and other adjustments as well as zoom.
Needs value indicators for focus. I have no idea if I am focused as close as possible, as far, or how far between. I think the same is true for all adjustments, need more than just a +/- button with no feedback.
And there is no exposure adjust!!!!! There is only auto or exposure lock, no “auto but a bit darker or lighter” setting? Big oversight!
Should have option to save as raw and jpeg, like SeaLife app does.
No instructions that I could find in app or elsewhere.
On the plus side, it does connect quickly.

Hate new interface
This app was awesome and then they changed the interface. Not very intuitive. Please Go back to old interface.
It is especially clumsy when you have to zoom in or zoom out. You have to use the up and down arrows to select zoom in or zoom out, then press ok for each zoom increment. It would be helpful to change at least this screen back so the up arrow is for zoom in and down arrow is for zoom out. Maybe have a toggle in the settings to use the current setup or the setup as I have described above.

Response from developer
Hi, the menu has been changed to be more in sync with buttons on the housing.
Buggy
I used Deep Photo on a dive trip about year ago and worked well. Now the app won’t recognize a Bluetooth connection even through my iPhone does. Installed the Dive+ app instead and everything seems to work fine. The real bummer is I renewed the $20+ subscription for an app that doesn’t even work.
Image freezes on screen
I have had an image freeze on the screen causing me to have to open the housing and close the app to reset. This is a problem under water obviously and it happens when i am changing the lens options. All the buttons still respond but camera functions are useless because the last image shot is stuck on screen.
