Love this app

There are many times when taking a shot I have to position the phone in such a way that I can not reach the shutter button. Hey Camera solves that problem very. I just say “Image” and the photo is taken and saved to my gallery. Great app! Thanks for the innovation

outstanding for selfies too!

When your arms aren’t long enough, or nobody else is around to take the shot of just you, or you and friends, set your phone on something and walk back to where you were (no self timer to worry about) and tell Hey Camera to take the shot! And you can use whatever words or phrases you want for the commands. I like to say “Shoot” instead of “Take a picture,” for example. It’s one of my favorite apps.
