### 3/5 — i want to love it, but...

*2014-08-29*

its buggy. its great when it works, but it doesnt always work. its functionality is tied to a peripheral BT controller and thats where the breakdown occurs. it very well might be the controller, but you cant separate the 2. im going to contact the manufacturer and hope theres an update on the way. i would use it all the time if it worked consistently.

### 3/5 — Very interesting product

*2014-04-25*

I learned about the Snapgrip hardware with the latest update to the Pureshot camera app-Pure shot will now work with the grip. I will consider buying it after some online research.

### 1/5 — Limited functionality

*2014-04-04*

Camera app doesn't offer much in the way of functionality. What it does offer is poorly designed with clunky and awkward screen layout. The bluetooth functionality is spotty at best

### 4/5 — Snappgrip appear

*2014-03-24*

Works well with the snappgrip attachment for which it was created. Would like the capability to export more than one photo at a time to my iOS albums. All in all an above average but you do need the Snappgrip attachment. Not a stand alone product.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2014-03-17*

Couldn't take an in-focus shot at all with this application. What a waste of time and money. 
Let me know once you've got a correctly working app done.
