How to select which of 3 lenses to use?

This is great!

I’ve been looking around for an app that would let me manually set the shutter speed and ISO and this one let me do just that and it’s also the only one that wasn’t trying to make me buy a β€œpremium membership” to use those basic features. It also isn’t riddled with ads so that’s a plus. I would recommend!
