### 5/5 — Cat Scan

*2023-06-16, version 3.0*

This developer has the capabilities to create a brand new type of camera app. The shutter button (volume button?) would trigger a sound that captures the attention of cats and dogs.
An instant AFTER grabbing the pet’s attention, the shutter snaps. The pet is therefore looking right into the camera when the portrait photo is taken.
The next sound the pet hears from iPhone camera would be different from the first, as pets get bored easily. Literally, the same sound twice no longer captures their interest.
A cutesy UI might appeal to general end users, but pro photographers need to take photos of pets too. Hence, RAW support and manual exposure and vignette and square aspect ratio are good ideas.
Please make this dream a reality.

### 1/5 — trash

*2020-08-17, version 3.0*

lmao it didn’t do anything

### 5/5 — 良いです！！

*2020-06-01, version 3.0*

昔撮った写真のノイズを除きたくてあれやこれやと探しておりました。
他に出回っているアプリは細かい操作が必要で、全体をどうにかしたい場合、操作細かすぎて煩わしく思っていたのですが、こちらを試したところ手間がかからなくてやりやすかったです。
荒さが完璧に無くなるわけでは無いですが、色を少し濃くしたり調節していくと大分良くなりました。ありがたいです

### 3/5 — Норм

*2020-04-29*

Все работает. Но эффекты применяются не всегда ровно, из-за этого портит вместо улучшения. Прога под телефон, но и на планшет идёт отлично.  Язык английский, но всё просто.  Абсолютно бесплатно.
