Covers the function, but user interface a little flaky.

I found adjusting the ISO to be wonky. I could drag my finger down and it would start to decrease and then start to increase again. But that may just be operator error. I’m glad to have the app on my phone!

Great but recent UI is clunky

Not sure what has changed but the sliders for SS/ISO take way longer to change now compared to a few years ago.

Almost there

With no control over f/stop this really isn’t a manual camera app. You control ISO, Shutter speed and white balance. If there were just control over f/stop this would be a very good app.

I hate the tutorial waste of money tutorial makes app impossible to use

Waste of money you can’t get out of the tutorial so you can barely use the app. I want my money back this is trash
