### 2/5 — Lacks camera Exposure control

*2023-11-29*

Desperately needs some camera controls, especially Exposure control as the image is WAY too dark at night to be useable.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! You can download “Movies and Maps” for macOS to view the GPS track, it’s free.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2022-05-07*

Awesome app except for the 3 min video break
