Meta Data

Loving the app overall. However, can't seem to save date and time of a logged exposure reading. When I go to a logged exposure, the app keeps showing me the current date and not the date and time I shot the image.

Bait and switch

I hate apps that advertise as free and after downloading and opening for the first time you immediately find out it is subscription based. Another useless app that was downloaded and immediately deleted.
