Restore purchase error

Paid for pro, then had to re install and when I click to restore purchases it says I never bought it, yet I'm unable to even pay for pro again so I'm very stuck

Response from developer

Sorry for the inconvenience. The issue preventing purchase restoration has been fixed.

Toy camera fun

I love this app. It reminds me of using my Holga. You pick a film and then you’ve got 12 shots on the roll using the same film. There is a film advance button to add to the camera experience. Multiple exposures are possible and there are different colored flashes. I like being able to view the photos in the app after I take them. The one thing is without instructions, it took me a little while to figure out I needed to use the film advance button. But after that blip, I’ve loved it and use it all the time. It’s really fun.

Wow Spectacular photos

Really love the quirky results of all the pics. Never know what is going to happen but spectacular results! U like Holga pics then this is the app for u!!!

Response from developer

Thank you very much. More features are coming.

Some real weaknesses

Saves as HEIC, should be dng. No horizontal frame, image window does not change to reflect image size choice, no instructions, strips out EXIF data when saving, cannot select film choice without shooting all of the roll, vignetting too strong, does not balance exposures in multiple exposure tool, empties image viewer when fils are deleted from phone (should be user choice).

Response from developer

Sorry for the inconvenience. The EXIF data and the photo viewer issue had been fixed. Wide format had been added. We will continue improving.

Fun

It’s so much fun. Point and shoot. No need to worry about film costs. Just feel like shooting with a Holga. Superb
