But I wish they had more guides or help forums for people to talk about it. I recommend an official Reddit for us users to talk to each other. ### 2/5 — Was great now useless *2025-09-10, version 7.0.9* Was a wonderfully useful camera app with great ai enhancing features but the latest update broke it for me on iOS using 16 pro max the pictures come with artefact’s ruing the taken images once in the camera roll. No other camera app or the stock iOS one is affected to. ### 3/5 — Why do I have to pay a monthly fee now? *2025-04-24, version 7.0.8* I’ve been a longtime loyal user and now I’ve lost my app to an expensive monthly or yearly dues? What’s up with that? Rating you a neutral three stars until I get a reply that makes sense. ### 1/5 — Took Away Features *2024-11-29, version 7.0.1* I am so disappointed that an app I used and love for years, with features I have relied on, has now taken them away with this new subscription model forced on us. It is so disheartening going through the menu and seeing a paywall on features we all enjoyed as long-time supporters. ### 1/5 — Subscription, AGAIN!!! *2024-11-27, version 7.0.0* Some years ago you pulled this trick and got backlashes, but I guess you are on the short memory plan. Do not bandwagon! ### 1/5 — Previously on time paid features are now locked behind a subscription. *2024-11-27* I paid for the app when it was a one time purchase. Now all those features are locked behind a subscription wall. It didn’t work for Photomator and users won’t let it work for neural cam. Do not download the app let alone use subscribe to use camera features. 0 stars if I could. ### 3/5 — Works good , sometimes *2024-09-10, version 6.2.1* Good results when it isn’t crashing. Has happened since purchase a year ago, keep hoping updates will fix. Not yet on an iPhone XR latest iOS and updated NeuralCam app. Unreliable enough I can’t use it for important shots you may not get back. ### 1/5 — Complete scam *2024-07-09, version 6.2.1* Scam, don't buy the app. It advertises a function which disables Apple's processing but the option is not in the app and their support won't respond to any of my email. Lumina has this function and its free. Don't waste your money if you need this function. ### 1/5 — Can’t edit photos *2024-07-02, version 6.2.1* Bought this to add blur to photos but you can’t edit pictures from your camera roll. ### 1/5 — Absolutely useless *2024-05-18, version 6.2.1* Purchased to take reasonable night time pictures but this app doesn’t work at all I may as well I’ve put my money down the drain as it doesn’t work at all. don’t waste your money ### 3/5 — 48MP mode useless and have glare *2024-05-09, version 6.2.1* 48MP is really useless with really little improvement of the detail of the picture. I have used Huawei or Samsung phone, and their ai mode could really improve the detail, like Huawei 50MP AI mode and Samsung enhanced 108MP mode. So the four dollars is really worthless. Also the night mode take too much time to compute, which I also think it useless. My phone is iPhone se 2 which is the A13 platform, which I think should be powerful enough to finish the compute in a few seconds. But it really works on reduce the noise under low light. So I think this five dollars worth a bit. All in all, I hope the developer of this app could consider drop the price of the ai mode because it is really not that powerful as the official page shows, or launch a 7 day free period for us to try this mode. I am not imagining this mode as powerful as the huawei’s 50MP AI or Samsung’s 108MP enhanced, but it is really unacceptable that this mode performs nearly the same detail as the 12MP image shot by apple’s own app. To be honest, I treat this mode more useless than transplanted google camera that could be used in most of the android phones. ### 2/5 — Privacy invasive *2024-03-08, version 6.2.1* I bought this app to capture night shots on an older iPhone and it worked great. But there’s absolutely no need for any camera app to track its users at all, let alone across apps and websites owned by other companies. ### 1/5 — お勧めしない *2024-02-15* 最新モデルのレンズを認識してないし、AIボケの精度も極めて低く、700円本体の上、600円のAIのアップスケールは使い物にならない。金返して欲しいです。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Updated *2026-05-20, version 7.0.9* Does not save the photo correctly ### 1/5 — App Continuously Crashes *2026-02-28, version 7.0.9* Every time I try to save a photo it crashes. After reading a review from 5 years ago about this same issue, I guess it won’t ever be solved. ### 1/5 — Paid become subscription & we,paid users get nothing back *2026-01-08, version 7.0.9* Wait, since when it become subscription base app. I'm sure that I bought it back in 2019. It feel like scam. I bought it back then I bought iPh XR & want to try night mode. Now that I change to 17 and notice it's subscription base. For this, I'll be deleting & give you 1 star even tho I gave 5 back in 2019. ### 1/5 — Broken on my iPhone 17 Pro Max *2025-09-25, version 7.0.9* Produces horizontal striations across photos taken with my iPhone 17 Pro Max, making them useless. This doesn’t happen with other camera apps. Oddly, the issue temporarily goes away when I enable spatial mode after taking the photo, so it appears to possibly be caused by image corruption by the app. ### 1/5 — They switched to paid sub *2025-09-21, version 7.0.9* I have been using this app since day one. Paid for the app but now they switched to a sub service way to screw up your customers. ### 1/5 — worst *2025-08-11* can’t save photos. I lost a lot of my works. incredible worst. ### 1/5 — Why do I have to pay a monthly fee now and why isn’t my payment for the subscription recognized? *2025-05-08, version 7.0.8* I’ve been a longtime loyal user and now I’ve lost my app to an expensive monthly or yearly dues? What’s up with that? Rating you a one star until I get a reply that makes sense. I ended up subscribing but the app doesn’t recognize my paid subscription even though it’s recognized in Apple’s App Store! Once a good app turned into a terrible waste of time and money! Please, please answer my email and fix your app! This review was probably a waste of my time, but fueled by using a good app that turned into an unusable app! New programmer? ### 1/5 — Terrible interface *2025-03-10, version 7.0.8* I feel like I’m having a stroke trying to change settings ### 1/5 — Igor *2025-02-01* The application slowed down the overall performance of the iPhone XS. It is not usable in everyday life. The developers should spend more time testing before charging a fee. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2024-12-04, version 7.0.4* I purchased this app close to about 3 1/2 years ago. Now that it’s asking for a monthly membership I will be uninstalling. Shouldn’t us customers that have already purchased this app be able to maintain at least a membership or be grandfathered in? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-12-15, version 7.0.9* Very good app ### 5/5 — It doesn’t save your pics to your gallery! *2025-12-14, version 7.0.9* I spend a day taking pictures and clicking to the save button trusting they were saved in my gallery. No photos were saved. Very frustrating. I realized I needed to click share with every picture taken to be able to save it to the gallery! Very annoying and not user friendly! I don’t know why they make this change. It’s horrible to use now! Very frustrated and disappointed with this update! ### 5/5 — Almost perfect! Even so, well worth the subscription cost *2025-04-22* Excellent app. One of the few that I have a paid subscription to, and a worthy replacement for the old CortexCam. A couple of things that need to be fixed in order to make it perfect. 1) Most default settings persist, but the AI Upscaling setting does not. Please allow eg 48mp upscaling to persist across sessions. 2) on iPhone16, we still only see 0.5x, 1x and 5x cameras. There is a 2x that is missing - pls add. 3) The app does not automatically switch to macro mode at close range unlike the default camera; you have to manually select macro mode. Pls make this automatic (or at least an option for that to be auto), 4) the macro mode isn’t actually macro mode, all it appears to do is “zoom” the 1x lens. With the true macro mode on the default camera you can hold the phone an inch away from the subject and it will focus at super close range. You can’t do that with the “macro” option on NeuralCam. Pls fix that. Beyond that - the app takes incredible photos and the AI features such as brightening are tremendous. Love it. ### 5/5 — my review *2025-02-27, version 7.0.8* Awesome app! ### 5/5 — They helped me to restore functions *2024-12-02, version 7.0.2* They helped me to restore functions so thanks for that i can now use my app as before :-) ### 5/5 — A great tool for flexible photography. *2024-03-09* I paid for the upscaling feature and the ability to adjust settings makes for some great photos in conditions where iOS camera doesn’t look “right”. Night photography and the AI people remover lets me take unique photos where I otherwise couldn’t. Have it mapped to iOS back tap for ease of use. One bit of feedback for the developers would be to have the option to remember upscale settings when closing the app. Love the app but when it resets, I often miss the feature when taking a quick photo. ### 5/5 — Great Potentials . *2023-12-12, version 6.2.0* Finest app what it commitment. Potential for macro mode for iPhone 12 pro max. Other feathers are great to work . My favorite app . ### 5/5 — Stunning software *2023-11-04, version 6.1.0* Even in a dark room you get a great bright full colour picture ### 5/5 — ブレずに自然な明るさで綺麗 *2023-07-07* 早いシャッタースピードで何枚も写真を撮って合成して綺麗に仕上げるアプリは幾つもありますが、断突で素晴らしい^_^もうこれだけあれば他はいりません。唯一の不満点は、撮影一枚目はキャリブレーションの為の捨てなので、撮影のタイミングを逃しやすい、ある意味事前に準備が必要ですが、仕上がりの綺麗さで、手間だけど使ってしまいますね。昼間に風に揺れる花を撮っても、夜に街並みを気軽に撮影しても、満足できる写真が一発で決まりますね。 ### 5/5 — the last version was excellent *2023-07-07, version 6.0.0* the last version was excellent and . and the picture quality was excellent ,you could choose the best photo before saving. now the new options are unnecessary and the image is soo bad. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
