I love it

It does exactly what it says no cap

Video doesn’t work

Any time I try to use the video feature and switch the settings from Photo to Video, the Subscription options pop, and I don’t even have any settings that would trigger that on. The photo taking seems to be fine so I’ll give it a three star till further notice, but I’m not able to video at all. Or use the widget. I tried restarting, and checking for updates and versions.

works great but

can you please add .07 or .08 zoom as an option for videos, .05 is just too much for what im doing.

please enable RAW support and correct EXIF export

Good app but it needs a quality selection/RAW capability for photos and the ability to export with correct time/GPS/EXIF data.

Update makes it useless

Whatever setting I try to set it to it doesn’t work. I’ve tried all the options to make it function and either it stopped working or the update has changed it to function in a super non-intuitive way. Am I the only one with this problem?
