Updated review

I just realized the zoom icon isn’t missing, It’s just a feature you have to enable in the settings now. Sorry for the confusion.

My favourite app

I use this all the time for macro photography and the results are perfect. I love that it Zooms in when you set the focus, nice touch!

SO incredibly useful

I’m an environmental scientist, so I’m always taking pictures of small things (mushrooms, insects, etc). This app is so incredibly useful for this purpose. The zoom in for manual focusing is the best tool in any camera app I’ve used, and the light adjustment is handy in shady forests or on overcast days. The only thing I really wish it had was location information for each picture. Is there a way to add that functionality?
