It no longer works

It was a nice app while it was working. Took some nice photos for years. It is now totally useless. Too bad.

Unglaublich kreative Möglichkeiten

Ich liebe diese App mit ihren kreativen Möglichkeiten der Langzeitbelichtung. 9 Sekunden Aufnahmen sind möglich. Es ist auch möglich, während der Aufnahme die Belichtung zu ändern. Weiterhin ist es wirklich sehr kreativ, die Light Trail Funktion zu aktivieren oder zu deaktivieren. Ich habe auf jeden Fall fantastische Kunstwerke mit dieser Foto App erstellen können.

Allerdings läuft die App im Moment auf einen Fehler (3302) und ich hoffe, dass dieser Fehler vom Entwickler Team beseitigt wird
