### 5/5 — Epic functionality

*2026-04-29*

Low def vid and pics free

### 5/5 — Good for vids

*2026-02-23*

Good for videos I do wish that the picture taking options were a bit better. Wish I could take 720 P and 1080 P pictures pictures on this app r 200p and if I take pictures the normal app normal camera app they’re like 12mbs each which is way too much.

### 3/5 — 惜しい

*2026-02-23*

中古品販売業務にてヤフオクストアの商品撮影に試用しています。ヤフオクストアの一括出品は500MBまでという縛りがあり、HEICを JPEGに変換&圧縮する手間が省けるかと試しましたが、
オートファインダーオフや色補正オフ、明るさ調整等の機能がないことが一部商品の撮影に不向きな点もあり、その点が惜しいと思いました。

### 5/5 — love this app so much!

*2026-02-21*

I know you’re probably working on it solo or with a small team, and you’re already doing an incredible job.
Just one feature that would mean the world to me:
When recording video, music in my headphones (or any background audio) automatically pauses. It completely kills the perfect vibe when a song is setting the exact mood I want, and then — silence 😢
A simple toggle like “Keep music playing during video recording” or “Don’t auto-pause audio when recording” would fix this and make the app perfect for capturing those special atmospheric moments.
No pressure at all — I totally understand it takes time. Just wanted to share how much this would improve the experience for me and probably many others.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating something I genuinely love and use all the time. You’re amazing! 🖤

### 2/5 — Non-skippable 7-second ad after taking photo

*2026-02-13, version 5.0.4*

Seriously. That’s a really lame way of annoying your user.

### 4/5 — 写真は良いです

*2026-02-06*

写真は無駄に高画質で撮りたくない時に最適です。段階があるのでそこそこ綺麗にも撮れるし荒くもできます。アプリ開いてすぐの画質がデフォルトだと自分には荒すぎるので選択したのを固定できたら嬉しいです。（←改善されました）スクエアはどこまで画角に入っているのか分かりにくくなぜこのような仕様なのか分かりません。（←改善されました）シャッター音がうるさいので無音を選べたら嬉しいです。（←改善されました。）動画撮影は今の所おすすめできません。アプリ自体の容量が膨らんでいく（←改善されました。）し、ちゃんと3人撮ったのに端が切れてハブいたみたいになりました。自動回転時にも画像が残るバグや、音がバタバタ切れたようなうるさい音になるバグもあり、そこまでストレージ節約にもならないので普通のカメラアプリで撮るほうが良かったです。他に良いアプリがないので改善を期待しています。

追記：複数の迅速な改善ありがとうございまし
た。使いやすくなりました。

### 5/5 — Great solution to ridiculous oversized images.

*2026-01-20*

Apple won’t let you adjust the size of the images you shoot for one reason. They want you to pay for storage on their iCloud service. The quicker they can get you to max out your phones storage the sooner they start collecting storage fees from you. Download this app asap. It’s awesome.

### 3/5 — 保存サイズがバラバラ？

*2026-01-12*

小さなサイズで保存出来るため便利ですが
保存した写真を確認すると、数枚の写真が大きかったり小さかったりしました、クラウドに送った際写真が縦になったり横になったりする事もありました、回転固定しても同じ現象がでました、画質は良いのでこの不具合が解消されれば再度サブスク登録させていただきたいです。

### 5/5 — very low space

*2025-11-24*

Very nice app that just gets the job done. I primarily use it for videos because those take … too much space with the normal camera app
i would like the devs to add more features tho. its really handy and i think it has a lot of support with its  users so devs.. plz add features! We would love to see your engagement with this app more often.

### 5/5 — こういうのが欲しかった

*2025-07-22*

カメラロールが容量を本当に圧迫していたので、ありがたいです。
