I just wish you could zoom in or crop the picture while using the app, in order to achieve a better proportion. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Apple Photos extensions have limited features by design. To obtain the features you need, I recommend the Wise Photos app https://apple.co/2Yo20Fa.  I hope this is helpful. ### 5/5 — Don’t need a grid After I take the photo😡 *2018-05-29* Those with a brain will apply the grid while composing the shot not after **Developer response:** Hi... Thank you for the feedback, we heard you. Photo Extension works inside the Apple Photos app by overlaying 12 composition rules on photos already taken to review and learn about composition. For a camera with composition rules, you might want to try our new Wise Camera app, you can get it at https://apple.co/2xgUnEP ### 5/5 — Love this tool!! *2018-05-24* I was very happy to find this app. What a great tool for iPhone photography !!! **Developer response:** Thank you so much! ## Frequently asked questions about Photo Extension Composition ### What is Photo Extension Composition?
