Old design
I liked the old design and why do I have to pay again if I paid years back I understand you’re a solo developer but now I have to pay again

Bring back Skewmorphic design
Not so happy with the latest updates. I picked this up for the skewmorphic design and the fact that it was not a subscription model. Latest updates have removed both of those points. Now the app is a cluttered menu interface promoting features locked behind subscriptions. Certain features like triple camera mode aren’t replicated in other apps yet, but undoubtedly will be. Y’all didn’t need to try and be every part of the photography workflow, focus on emulating the hardware you once did or find a new group of core users.

This Developer killed his own app. Sadly.
Update:
The developer killed the best camera app from the App Store. Why? Maybe he was greedy or maybe he thought his strategy was great to get a steady income. The reason is not important, what it is important is the fact that he sacrificed one of the best camera apps instead of create another one. Basically he decided if I can’t have a monthly income then no one would enjoy my app. This is now the most horrible made app in the history of camera apps I ever used, bad UI/UX, bad learning curve and bad results. Please bring the previous version, this one sucks. Seriously.
Old Review:
Why Apple didn’t create the default camera app like this one? This app will change the way you take pictures forever. Excellent app.

Promising app
Full featured camera with a crazy ton amount of functions. Hope to get updates for the freezes soon. A fine work in progress.
Crash all the time
Not even open.
Sadly, an absolute trainwreck
This app is an absolute disgrace, where are the positive reviews coming from?
On paper it looks great and I really wanted to like it, but there are some major things wrong with it:
First off, it works more or less on my iPhone, but not on my iPad Pro (same iOS on both).
On startup it asks me for permissions, after that it crashes immediately. When I start it again, I see the logo for a split second then it crashes again every time. Tried reinstalling and everything with the same result.
Trying to make panoramas, most of the time it starts "optimising" for 30 seconds, then tells me that I need to take the images in landscape mode. Which I did of course!
IF for some reason it works, I end up with every photo taken plus TWO slightly different panoramas on my camera roll. WHY? I want ONE panorama, nothing else.
UI/UX in general is impossibly bad and inconsistent. For instance the "busy" animation often keeps spinning even if there is nothing to wait for anymore and the only option is to exit. I tried reading the user manual, but instead I get a disclaimer in turkish or something that I can't read.
I have no idea if this is going to be fixed or adresssed in any way, if so I am ready to update this review accordingly. Meanwhile I am just happy that I did not pay full price.

The app is CTD as soon as I open it.
Muy bueno
Me gusta este software excelente programa
It needs more effect and filters
Not great as published. And the price is high for nothing special in it
This app is so good that you can’t believe it.

My Favorite Photo App!
This app is great! I love the sharpness and clarity I get using ProRAW on my 15 pro max. I can take a photo of my sofa with the 48mp 24mm lens from 6 feet away and see every thread and fiber. That’s how precise this app focuses. Other third party apps don’t come as close to the clarity and image quality as I get with Luwain. The controls are easy and very detailed with precise adjustments. Manual focus with focus peeking is very precise with fine adjustments. I haven’t used this app in HEIF or JPEG yet because I only shoot Raw. I you are a fan of ProRAW then I highly recommend this app. I’m sure it’s great when using JPEG or HEIF. There are other features I haven’t used as of yet because I mostly focus on single frame images. I plan to test the HDRI feature soon… again, great app!

El crapo del toro
Don’t waste your money & time with this crap app. You can’t keep the edited version of your video.
The demo stinks!!!!

Total Waste of Money
I usually try to give only positive reviews, but this app is really annoying. It’s crashing all the time. I am unable to take even a single picture. It’s gets stuck even if I switch off and restart the phone. I request the developers to kindly refund my money and take this app back. I am ready to purchase it again once all the issues have been fixed. Thank you

Dude! Amazing
You have outdone yourself bro, it has everything my Sony camera would have and I’m very surprised how well the auto focus work! Definitely worth the money
Response from developer
Hi 👋🏽 Thank you very much. New features and improvements are on the way 🤘🏽
front camera

Never tray
I bought this app from the app store for $7.00 but it is not taking pictures or recording videos. Please don't buy this app, your money will be garbage
Response from developer
Hi 👋🏽 Please make sure you allowed Luwian to access photos.
