### 1/5 — 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

*2026-07-09, version 1.39.0*

👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

### 5/5 — Full of features, excellent value

*2026-06-29*

I'm surprised this app has so few reviews—it's hands down one of the best camera apps I've tried since upgrading to 17 Pro. Tons of features for pros but doesn't overwhelm you if you're new to photography. There's a subscription but it's a fraction of what a lot of the top camera apps are charging.

### 5/5 — I’ve tried em all

*2026-06-27*

I think I’ve tried just about every app that lets you shoot with LUTs/presets and this is by far my favorite. The ability to shoot with AND edit with the same presets later (or with photos not even taken in Photon) is so great. It’s all subjective, but this is the right combo of features, UI, and editing tools for me.

### 5/5 — love it

*2026-06-21*

make me start liking taking pictures on phone

### 1/5 — 拍完之后老是丢照片

*2026-06-05*

回去之后才发现没保存上，拉完了

**Developer response:** 你好，拍摄和保存高质量照片是需要时间的，请至少等到右下角的相册动画结束后才离开 app。毕竟所有第三方相机都不可能跟系统相机一样快。

### 5/5 — I love it and I bet you will too!

*2026-05-27, version 1.36.2*

super useful features, easy to use/navigate, and very appealing design. It is still very useable if you do not want to pay to unlock the full version. It only took me 1 day of testing to realise I need this app in my life and since I found the price to be fair I purchased it right away. That was many months ago and I can confirm that I am still so happy with my purchase and still have no regrets!
I always look for any excuse to pull my phone out to use this app. I just think it's SO cool.

### 4/5 — 颜色变

*2026-05-16*

拍照时放大到五倍，滤镜颜色会变，是怎么回事呢？

**Developer response:** 你好，目前猜测长焦镜头跟主摄镜头因为镜头素质不一样，实际自动采用的曝光参数不一样导致的。当然，最有效的反馈方式是通过 app 的邮件反馈，还请通过邮件反馈的方式来说明情况吧（里面也会自带拍照参数，请不要删除）。

### 4/5 — 软件可不可以滑动切换滤镜啊？

*2026-04-05*

会员已支持，软件功能很强大，建议优化滤镜切换功能，每次换个滤镜还要去下面一个一个点，有些不必要的麻烦，请开发者优化下，谢谢。

**Developer response:** 你好，目前就已经支持滑动滤镜入口来切换。更多教程可以查看 app 内的设置。

### 5/5 — 笔芯♥️

*2026-03-31*

导入自己的个性Lut还能自定义不同lut颜色标签细节感十足

### 5/5 — 批量导出RAW文件

*2026-03-29*

建议增加批量多选导出RAW选项，现版本（V1.33.4）只能单张导出

**Developer response:** 感谢你的反馈，目前做不了自动微距功能是因为不像系统相机一样采用的多摄融合的方式来预览拍照。未来可能单独出个微距模式，感谢你的支持！
