Saved settings

Great app for being free, saved settings would be nice, like changing the camera settings to a specific setting and saving it for later use.

Great w/ minor bug.

When you change the white balance to the minimum it crashes. Other than that it is great.

Good but basic

This app is good because you can manually adjust the IOS, shutter speed and the focus of the camera as well as other things. There are NO ADS which is also a big bonus.

The only downside is the fact that it is basic and landscape move doesn’t work that well. There aren’t many settings and it doesn’t actually say anything so you just have to guess what the number is.

Good if it had videos

Taking photos is great, but it would be good if it supported videos. It is a good substitute for the Apple camera app as it has a few software bugs.

Would like to see video functionality added

Great app with clean interface that allows you to manually control the camera in your device. I would like to see this app developed to allow for the recording of video!

single front camera

i git this app because it added manual focus for the native camera, however, it supports only the midrange front camera. the upgraded short focal length lens and telephoto lens on the iphone 13 do not show up as choices. the default camera app that comes loaded with the phone relies on autofocus that really has a hard time finding infinity focus like the sky (moon, stars), and the close up focus always wants to jump around to a plane further than its physical minimum. the native camera app only features an auto focus/exposure "lock" that will not allow manual adjustment. the pictures are in the focus that the native software tells you is correct, even though it really has no idea what you are trying to photograph. for night time photography, the native app requires some wrestling and a few throw away shots before it will go up to a maximum of 30 second exposure. the image tracking does do an ok job of making the moving night sky appear to be still, but the resolution of individual objects suffers a concurrent blurring. it would be nice if apple or somebody else could come up with some software that would let the person using the instrument to make editorial decisions, and have the option to interpose as little manipulation as possible between the image sensor and the stored file. effectively, that area of iphone photography exists behind another of the ubiquitous pay walls that seem to underpin the modern economy. for the price, i could've gotten a decent dedicated dslr camera, and an android phone with more user control and way more accessible and free software of all sorts. too bad about all the extra iphone lenses, although it is a treat to be able to focus one of them with this app.

Nice interface but doesn’t work

No sliders visible when I go to ADV button. Stays on AUTO for ISO and exposure. Tried swiping up, down, left, right with no response. No help button unless it’s hidden somewhere. Still looking for a straightforward manual cam control.

Halfway There

It is wonderful as far as options go, it lets me take pictures and then they go to the bottom corner; that’s it though, they don’t save. When I click to look at them in the bottom right corner, all that happens is a loading circle that doesn’t ever finish. Would love it if I could see the images once they have been captured. Makes me wonder where they go haha.

Can’t take a pic

Doesn’t show where to take a pic. I’ve pushed everything

Good but

Doesn’t show the amount of time the shutter remains open. Its just a slider were you can configure it. Otherwise its a great app

No shutter speed setting?

I may be wrong but I perhaps foolishly thought being able to adjust exposure included shutter speed to get long exposures. Can the developer please advise if this is the case?

White balance crash

If you move the slider all the way to the left on white balance, it crashes the app

Great for certain situations.

Worth having to be able to change the ISO manually. You can do it on the normal camera but not as well as this app does. Perfect for some situations.

Not really manual

All the features you can do on this you could do on the official iPhone camera app

Just uses sliders instead of touching to adjust

You cannot change shutter speed or Aperture do not really manual at all

Very nice

Manual controls, easy, simple

Very useful app

Controls are flawless, Just like a DSLR.

Вылетает.

Постоянно вылетает. Исправьте пожалуйста. Iphone 7+. Ios 10.3.2

Best!

This is the best free camera, that I ever use!!!

Nearly perfect

Simple add-on to the native camera that provides sensible manual controls for a more serious photographic experience. I only wish that a shutter release function (Bluetooth or earphone volume control) would be supported. I use my iPhone to digiscope wildlife, and camera shake is a serious concern. With the shutter release function, this app would be perfect.
