### 5/5 — Super App für Fotos mit Makrolinse

*2026-05-25*

Genau das was ich gesucht hab. Da kann man bei einem 900€ Smartphone standardmäßig nicht mal den manuellen Makromodus aktivieren, geschweige denn noch zusätzlich den Blitz oder die LED nutzen… 

Diese App hat alles was ich brauche um endlich schöne Makros mit Klemmobjektiv zu machen.

Vielen Dank an die Entwickler! 💙

### 5/5 — Review Updated.

*2025-12-07, version 1.4*

This app is perfect for macro mode . I have recommended this app to every person. It works on 12 pro max equally .

### 2/5 — Photos not clear

*2025-09-15, version 1.3*

The app was very good at one time- photos were crisp and clear. Recently every photo I take is blurry with poor detail. Deleting.

### 1/5 — Rausgeschmissenes Geld

*2025-09-06*

Da kann die Integrierte App im Appel bessere Fotos machen. 
Der Focus funktioniert überhaupt nicht.

### 4/5 — App seit Jahren sehr gut !

*2025-08-02*

Hey, die App läuft seit Jahren (>5 Jahre) wunderbar. Seit 2 Monaten habe ich Probleme mit der App. Ich öffne die App und der Bildschirm bleibt schwarz-  ich bitte um Hilfe! Wenns wieder funktioniert gerne 5 Sterne !

### 5/5 — Makroaufnahmen

*2025-07-25*

Gute Qualität bei Makroaufnehmen, einfach zu bedienen. Top für meine Zwecke!

### 1/5 — Arnaque

*2025-05-17*

Ne fonctionne pas sur IPhone 12 Max pro

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-04-30, version 1.3*

I have recommended this app to every person I know who has an iPhone. Focus peeking is nice, I find that since stabilization is disabled, I have to be extra careful about not moving the camera when I am as close to my subject as I am. I appreciate that there’s a 2X function that allows me to be further back so I don’t block the light in flower photography when I’m really close up. I love that. It’s a one time purchase and it just works really well.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!

*2025-03-21, version 1.3*

Waste of money. Opened it up and looked every where for a way to switch between lenses. Ended up staring at myself! The camera lens just seems to be stuck.

### 1/5 — ホント無駄だった

*2025-02-10*

デフォルトほぼ変わらん
お金返してほしい
