Lens swap

Please find a faster solution for swiping through focal lengths and make the zoom control smoother. It’s really hard to use the dial. It jumps like crazy. But other than that. This is the best location scouting app on the market. I have all of them.

Best scout tools combined

Finally a viewfinder and sunpath in one app! I also love the left handed mode. Sounds silly but makes a huge difference to us left handers.
