Desperately Needs Updates

It sits in a small frame on the screen because it has not been updated in a long time, does not mirror the reference when taking a selfie, so it is flipped relative to the camera, and crashes after taking a photo

Deceptive

The app does work on iOS 16.6 but it only works in portrait mode. Very disappointing this isn’t disclosed.

Hopeless

Cannot load photos; cannot take photos; just crashes.

Lightweight and simple

Nice simple app that gets the job done.
Would love to see the ability to flip photos horizontally

SCAM

Doesnt work! Dont buy it!
