Doesn’t work on modern phones with macro photo capabilities

This worked on my 7 year old super old iPhoneX but doesn’t work on my new one because the only camera this app can control has a minimum focus distance that is too far away to capture a 10cm dish, and the app is not able to use the macro photo lens for whatever reason.
NINickname? Fine. Ishmael.

Doesn’t really work

Will add random colonies and ignore very obvious colonies
PFPlease nerf frank

Great app buuut.

Great app but it keeps crashing and now has my plates hostage :(

Eh, not the best

I liked the ability to manually add missed colonies, but it can’t handle writing on the plates and the counts seemed to be off much more than CFU.Ai.
