For the price, there are a lot of features in the app. Also, the layout of the controls is nice and after some time feel intuitive. Yet, after certain update the "slow shutter" mode just stopped working. I wrote to the support several times across several months. Finally, the fix came quickly one the dev acknowledged the bug. I can understand that they were busy with some other app, but yet that part of the experience is why I'm not giving 5* to Top Camera. **Developer response:** It has been fixed in version 1.10 ### 2/5 — Old version worked better *2018-11-28, version 1.9* Program crashes when using night exposure or other long exposure settings. IPhone 7. Several if the latest OS versions. **Developer response:** It has been fixed in version 1.10 ### 3/5 — I Would like it better *2018-07-15, version 1.9* If I could find instructions ### 2/5 — Crashes after slow shutter *2018-05-08, version 1.9* My favorite photo app for slow shutter but now it crashes before it saves the photo. Please fix. ### 3/5 — Good app but... fix crashe bugs *2018-04-16, version 1.9* When i use the slow shutter or night mode, after shooting app was crashing and doesn’t save my photo **Developer response:** It has been fixed in version 1.10 ### 2/5 — Shuts down constantly *2018-04-06, version 1.9* I love the functionality of this app. I photograph jewelry and the photos are great but when I go to save the photo it shuts down!!!! VERY FRUSTRATING!! ### 2/5 — Eats up my iPad Memory (more than default Photos app) *2018-03-29, version 1.9* I like the functionality of this app a lot, especially how HDR pictures require clicking only once, rather than multiple times as in Top Camera (1). But honestly, I much preferred the first app, except for how the first one stored the pictures in the app. But now I keep seeing the size of this app grow, despite that it doesn't save the pictures (?)...before I deleted it just now, it had grown larger than the iPad's default Photos app. This is out of control. I love this app, but this doesn't sit right with me. I'm going to go back to the first app for a while, do a little research, and decide what application software to use from there. ### 3/5 — Metadata *2017-12-05, version 1.9* I do miss the metadata in previous version. Good thing I still have a iPhone 5. Now have iPhone 8 Carl ### 4/5 — Use this all the time! *2016-07-01, version 1.8* I love almost everything about this app especially the editing choices and it's my first choice when I take photos. I would like 2 improvements. 1. During editing I often need to see the whole photo and right now only 2/3rds is shown and 2. I have to go to another app to crop. Will cropping be added soon? Hope so! Then I would use no other apps to edit! ### 3/5 — Not bad overall *2016-06-22, version 1.8* I like the set up overall and the slider on the side to adjust the focus, exposer(would prefer this to be ISO) and zoom(would prefer this to be shutter). But the sliders work well over all. I like that you can switch between the setting your currently using and whatever you used last, that is hand. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2016-06-02, version 1.8* I would really like to see a "night lapse" mode and more intervals in the time lapse setting! ### 5/5 — Very Nice! *2016-06-01, version 1.8* Good easy to use app for both taking pics and editing them. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Needs update *2021-10-29, version 1.10* The hands down best photo editing app. However it needs to be updated. Last update was two years ago and the app now crashes when editing any video or photo. ### 1/5 — I can’t save *2020-09-02, version 1.10* I buy to day but I can’t save ### 1/5 — !!! *2019-12-30, version 1.10* APP KEEP CRASHING.. ### 1/5 — Not as advertised *2019-10-11, version 1.10* I bought this app because I thought I could take multiple lower resolution photos without stopping like Top Camera Lite but I decided to upgrade to the new version so I can get something like 1008x756 resolution setting but nope. $5 bucks in the hole later doesn't have the resolution options and the camera also runs like duck sauce. ### 1/5 — HDR poor *2018-05-04, version 1.9* Bring back the old version of HDR found in the original Top Camera. The old version was much more polished. Luckily I still have an iPhone 5 with the original version. The original top camera was polished. The ability to slightly move the camera while in HDR mode and creating these slightly offset images was amazing. Seeing metadata, and a bunch of other functionality made it the best camera app around. I should have never upgraded my iPad to 11. When I did, is when the HDR mode for the original version stopped working. It crashes now every time when it tries to merge the pictures. Now with Top Camera 2, the HDR mode just doesn’t look the same, in fact I’d say it makes everything look dreary. The rest of the app looks no different then any other camera app these days. Please bring back the original version. It was a classic. ### 1/5 — Are you kidding me?! *2016-12-30, version 1.8* I just spent an hour working filming, and it didn't save. There wasn't even a warning, like 'please stop filming after however long, or your video may not save.' Arg! 😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — IMPORTANT !!! READ!!! *2016-06-05, version 1.8* There is 2 mistakes in this app: 1- If there isn't any spaces in your phone this app can't know it and go on take pictures but they aren't save. 2- This app takes all photos and videos in their memory and it saves photos on photo roll. This app takes X2 place in your device. PLEASE FIX IT ! ### 1/5 — Causes phone to shut down *2016-04-08, version 1.7* Happened twice already, both cases were exactly the same - I was in a slow shutter mode (the main reason I got this app) and my battery was above 20%. After taking a couple of pictures my phone shut down saying my battery was dead! I was not able to use my phone at all until I plugged it in. Some serious bug going on. ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY THIS APP! PLEASE! *2016-01-18, version 1.7* The app is terrible and the app won't sync to photos at all and is a complete waste of space. I took a picture and I got a response saying "please wait" and nothing happened. I went to photos and saw nothing. The developers of this app CLEARLY don't care about any of the glitches or bugs I. Their product either because theres barely been an update. The app is terrible and won't do its job. I'm warning you do NOT buy it. I waisted so much cash and got ripped off. ### 1/5 — "Upgrade"? *2015-08-27, version 1.0* What has happened to the concept of an upgrade IMPROVING a product? First Apple does it by throwing away the awesome program, Aperture, in favor of a watered down and frankly lame photo editing tool, Photos, and now Top Camera, a powerful photo app with total control given to the photographer, is "upgraded" in Top Camera 2" and all the benefits of the original app are removed. In their place are generic filters available in every other mediocre photo app on the market and no ability to control them beyond a "percentage" selector, like in the original. Also, no manual HDR in the new app. Sorry but that is essential for anyone wanting to do creative HDR work on an iPhone. I have done some amazing HDR work with Top Camera that your new app simply cannot accomplish. I have no interest in having someone else tell me how my photos should look by giving me only preset photo filters and automatic HDR that does a decent job balancing light but totally eliminates creative control from the user. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hello *2019-11-30, version 1.10* Is vedio no save after edit Thanks ### 5/5 — Great app! Simple but expert manual control *2018-06-02, version 1.9* This is my go to photo app. For a long time. It's loaded with features but it's also as simple as you want it to be. It's all available from the pic view but nothing blocks the view so you can manually adjust what you choose and stay on your subject. The features are all useful! Nothing exotic, high tech, or involved to use - they're included but are disguised into easy to use touch options for expert control. Just mess with stuff and see how it effects the image before you shoot. Love the exposure and focus lock. That's a fave feature from DSLRs. And absolutely love the Zoom. Thank you for creating and maintaining such a great app for so long! ### 5/5 — 🚨 *2018-03-16, version 1.9* Please add a panorama The size that the iPad has a specific folder for in photos.... Please add a Top Camera dedicated folder in Camera roll 🙏🏼 ### 5/5 — Excellent Quality *2018-03-04, version 1.9* I don't write a lot of reviews but I had to take a moment to give some feedback! Love the Quality pic's & video I have captured using this software. It's now my main camera and I have stored on all my apple devices. Awesome... ### 5/5 — Catches all the details *2017-07-14, version 1.8* Great for home recording music videos, and very easy to use! Kudos! ### 5/5 — Dias *2016-11-19, version 1.8* Nice love it ### 5/5 — Great App *2016-10-18, version 1.8* I use this app ### 5/5 — Great pics *2016-08-10, version 1.8* Takes great pictures. Easy to use. ### 5/5 — Sr. Engineer *2016-07-06, version 1.8* Great job. It is very to use - because of its simplicity, I intent to recommend it to friends. ### 5/5 — Great camera app *2016-06-17, version 1.8* By far the best, most responsive app out there for taking advanced pictures. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
