### 2/5 — Free version is fuzzy, won’t let me upgrade.

*2024-10-25*

It’s got a lot of interesting features. The free version takes very fuzzy low resolution photographs. I tried to upgrade to the paying version, and it would only give me error messages.

### 3/5 — How to restore purchase

*2020-05-24*

I’m not able to restore purchase kindly help

### 5/5 — 俺就喜欢这么模糊的画质

*2019-03-06*

嘿嘿嘿

### 1/5 — Не качайте

*2018-12-07*

При попытке сделать hdr фото вылетает постоянно

### 1/5 — Absturz in OS 12.1

*2018-12-04*

Hätte mir beinah die Vollversion gekauft. Leider stürzt schon die Lite beim iPhone8 unter OS12.1 zuverlässig bei HDR-Aufnahmen ab. Damit ist das Ding eigentlich unbrauchbar.

### 3/5 — Couldn't get it to work

*2017-12-27*

I tried for about 10 minutes to get it to take a photo in low light, but no matter how much I changed the settings, it made no difference to the exposure of the photos. It may have been me.

### 4/5 — Update

*2017-10-15*

I’m love this app was wondering if your going to update it

### 1/5 — No Update for iOS 11

*2017-10-06*

Developer needs to update so we can access our photos and move them to another app if this one is no longer going to be supported. All my pictures are currently lost because the app won’t open in iOS 11.

### 5/5 — Camera

*2017-10-03*

Bonjour vraiment bon camera avec tt les normes

### 2/5 — 没有试用过完整版本

*2016-11-23*

低分辨率照片拍摄的试用版没有任何说服力让客户购买完整版本，建议设置定期的试用版本，比如试用七日。再提醒购买。
