### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-17, version 113*

Yes

### 5/5 — Social media

*2026-08-16, version 113*

I love this camera app because not only is it only $40 a year but you get all kinds of features that someone can’t do without another person around. It gives you a free trial too before you buy so if you don’t like it you could cancel! 10/10 recommend

### 5/5 — The perfect content partner

*2026-08-14, version 112*

Great on vacations and for creating content for work when I’m riding solo. Sometimes I’ll forget I have it and get so excited when I remember that I do.

### 5/5 — Super

*2026-08-13*

Super application ! Très pratique quand on veut se prendre en photo seule. Le mode rafale/continu permet d’avoir des photos beaucoup plus naturelles, avec différentes poses et expressions. J’adore, ça change vraiment des photos classiques.

### 5/5 — best app for when you want photos but are alone 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

*2026-08-13, version 113*

Amazing app!!!

### 5/5 — Lens Buddy

*2026-08-12, version 112*

I love this app! It’s the one that is most suitable for me and easy to navigate.

### 1/5 — Limited & Expensive

*2026-08-11, version 113*

You can only take a minute of photos per MONTH with the free version of this app. The premium version is $40/year. I tested it out by setting it to take 10 photos with 3 seconds in between each. I now only have 30 seconds left for this month. The free version is pretty much unusable, and the premium is way too expensive for what this app does.

### 5/5 — Yes

*2026-08-09, version 112*

Love it

### 5/5 — Very helpful tool

*2026-08-07, version 112*

No ads, no fuss, just photos. Big fan !

### 5/5 — LOVEEE

*2026-08-06, version 112*

Best option for taking hands free photos!! (:
