Impressive Film Effects, broken UX

Probably the best photo film emulation I’ve seen in a iOS app, every shot has something ethereal. But, the app is ridden with “ok” alerts, unnecessary confirmations that are blocking the screen, so shooting experience is a bit like video game fight. My suggestion to the app designers would be to try streamline the shooting experience - can I take 6 photos in a row, just by tapping 6 times - no confirmations, no cancels, no dismissable UI. Just shoot and edit later. Overall still a lovely app but with plenty of room to grow
