La qualité des photos a beaucoup baissé! 😢😢

Jusqu’à la mise à jour 2.0 le rendu des photos était parfait! Bluffant! Même en les comparant avec les photos de l’app native de l’iPhone! Mais avec cette dernière version le rendu des photos avec l’app MOOD est catastrophique 😩
je croyais avoir du « gras » sur mon objectif qui donnait l’impression de faire un « voile » au debut mais je me suis rendu compte que le problème venait de l’algorithme et des réglages…🥲 s’il vous plait faites quelque chose! Merci 😊

Love it, my new default camera app

I have been searching for an app that would emulate a film look without having to endlessly post process photos after the fact for a long time. Mood perfectly meets that need. I love trying different stocks to get different looks and not having to think about it afterwards. I’ve mapped it to the action button on my phone and love how responsive it is to open and start taking photos within seconds. Highly recommend.

Outstanding App

This is absolutely by far the best third-party camera app. I use this app more than the stock camera app.

The UI is fluid and intuitive, the built-in film emulations are incredible, and I love how easy it is to share and add others’ presets.

Props to the dev for continuously updating the app, adding new features frequently. And the lifetime pro one-time purchase option is very much appreciated. Easiest 20CAD I’ve ever spent.

Highly recommend.

Exceptional

My camera app journey started way back in 2014 with Hipstamatic. Since then I’ve seen and test driven countless other apps which for one reason or another have failed to impress me long term. Mood camera has impressed me with its authors development philosophy, its excellent emulations and ease of use. Highly recommended
