### 5/5 — “Top cam” is righteous

*2024-04-13*

I’ve had this app since iPhone 4.  When I look back at the images of those days I’m still impressed with the quality.  I mean the kind of quality of circus pictures (impossible lighting) and when I zoom in on the subjects they are very sharp and I love it.  Don’t change a thing. Thanks for excellence!

### 1/5 — Horrible, won't even take one picture

*2020-06-12, version 4.91*

Shuts down every time a picture is taken and doesn't save anything. Not worth a penny, total rip off

### 3/5 — Crashes my phone

*2019-09-11, version 4.91*

The app says it works on my phone but it crashes my phone as soon as I try to take a picture. Tried three times and each time my phone had to restart. I paid for the app a long time ago and it worked then but not anymore. Now they want you to buy another app.

### 3/5 — This app is only true hdr

*2018-08-29, version 4.91*

Please fix this app for ios11 as it is the ONLY one that does hdr correctly. It takes 3 pictures and puts them together! That’s how it’s done. All the others are fake. Even top camera 2 doesn’t do it right. Please fix this app. Crashes after it takes the picture
 :(....

### 1/5 — Crashed. HDR LAATEST IOS 11.4.1

*2018-07-26, version 4.91*

Please fix crash on IOS Version 11.4.1 always crash when taking HDR photo

### 1/5 — Top cam

*2018-03-01, version 4.91*

*2017-12-28, version 4.9*

It doesnt work after updating iphone ios. Please update this app with ios 11 for ipad and iphone.

### 2/5 — Pay AGAIN??

*2015-12-20, version 4.9*

Loved this camera until I can longer switch the camera for selfies. Ap quits. This was my go-to camera.  Now you want me to spend another $4.99 for the Top Camera 2? Reimburse me and I'll buy the newer.

### 1/5 — No support and full of bugs

*2015-12-19, version 4.9*

I paid for this app and found out that there are numerous issues with it and now in the description it says to download Top Camera 2 because this one is no longer supported. If that is true, they should remove this version and reimburse those of us who have wasted money on it, then I may consider spending the $4.99 on the new version...

### 1/5 — When updated to ios9

*2015-12-04, version 4.9*

Would be excellent if updated...but worthless till then...go get "camera+" till then
