Excellent

### 1/5 — 👎

*2024-04-28*

There are problems with the application 1- The images are not saved in the studio and are not saved in the files. There is an error 2- When photographing, the image is not stable. Every second or two seconds later, the image bounces, meaning it refocuses.

**Developer response:** Hello!
1. What do you mean by studio? Captured images will be saved to your Photo Gallery automatically.
2. The refocusing issue might be caused by your Camera, this is usually not something caused by the app itself.
