### 4/5 — no unnecessary fluff

*2023-02-16, version 1.3.1*

this app adds a couple of essential features that the stock app lacks: white balance lock and an audio level meter. generally that’s all i need or want.

for me would be a 5 star app if:

1. option for white balance lock on record (in case you forget to lock it manually)

2. dismiss the controls overlay which can affect perception when framing

### 1/5 — THE WORST

*2021-04-15*

App doesn’t allow you to adjust any of the features it advertised. So not worth purchasing. Totally misleading !!!!

### 1/5 — My opinion

*2021-01-02, version 1.1*

Don’t get the app waste of money and doesn’t let u have 4K 60fps for iPhone 7
