Longer zoom choices please

Iโ€™m shooting a 600mm with a 2x teleconverter. So thatโ€™s 1200mm but the app only lets you choose 800mm max.

Updates to 5 stars. I didnโ€™t realize there was a teleconverter button. Could be just me, but maybe it could be a little more apparent how to add it? For the less observant of us ;)

Response from developer

Hi - the app already supports selecting teleconverters to achieve what you need. Just tap the teleconverter icon and choose between None, ร—1.4, ร—1.7, ร—2 or ร—3.

Not immediately intuitive, but unique and useful

Originally had a problem getting it to start - reboot your phone if this happens.

Mindblowingly useful.

Crookneck always has my jaw on the floor for how much time their apps (this and TPE) can save me hours of hunting and hoping to find the right location for more than just photography. Useful even if you just want to find a picturesque viewpoint to have lunch while on a road trip.
