Don’t waste your money on this app

I am a photographer I have been taking photos from the age of 15 and I decided to get this app just to try it out boy was that a mistake.

This app does not work the calculations are way off They’re not even close to where they should be. Don’t bother with this app it does not work. As a matter of fact I want my money back.
