Wonderful photos
One piece of feedback for the developer: It would be great to have a lock screen widget so I could open directly to the app from the lock screen!
Unpro for iPhone 13 pro
Awesome idea, buggy on iPhone 16
On not zooming: the iPhone does not have physical zoom. It’s better to just take the pictures and crop them later, as the dev recognizes.
…But I have a problem.
My iPhone 16 Plus (not Pro) will only save JPEGs. Not HEIC, no HDR, no matter if a set it to RAW, HEIC or both. No setting seems to make a difference
Maybe I misread the bit on hardware compatibility, but that’s unacceptable. Do I need a Pro phone for saving HEIC outside the stock Camera app?
Response from developer
Thank you for the kind review. Not saving HEIC isn’t a bug, but a choice. HEIC is rarely supported outside of Apple devices, so saving as JPEGs increases compatibility and reduces conversions. I also noticed compression artifacts with HEIC during development, but it’s been a while and that may have been fixed. I realized that the HEIF label in the capture type selector is misleading, so I renamed it in the latest update. However, the JPEGs should have HDR. Would you mind contacting me through the support form so I can get more details and fix the issue?
Buggy
Unable to Zoom
Awesome Work Man.
A promising app in beta
Response from developer
The latest update enables saving camera and location metadata to photos. Please check it out. Unless you're encountering a truly unknown glitch, Unpro saves every photo taken with it -- just make sure you don't quit the app before the green saving indicator light turns off. That light indicates that a photo is still being developed, and this can't be done in the background. For most iPhones this is almost instant, but on Pro iPhones in 48-megapixel mode it can take up to eight seconds (typically less). Unfortunately, this simply cannot be sped up while retaining quality and the Unpro look. If you want photos to save more quickly, enable the 12-megapixel option in settings; I will probably make this the default in the future because of your review. If your saving issue persists, please contact me via the support form on the App Store page. All the best with your photography!
Interesting. A great start!
+Superb that no data is collected. Bravo!
+It takes 48MP JPEGs on my iPhone 16 Pro every time, around 6mb on the main camera.that’s a good size and it’s nice to know it’s going to be 48MP and not whatever the phone decides (usually 24mp ‘fusion’)
-Saving the photo does take a while (1.3 seconds maybe?) and the screen is black whilst it happens, but it IS saved in the background quicker than it appears. I imagine that can be improved.
Note: on the 5x, this doesn’t happen
+The shutter speed seems quick, seemingly the same as the native camera.
+Compared to RAW files on the phone which are 70MP, I’d say the editing of the JPEG was very good! It couldn’t be pushed as far but it was definitely a good result…it ended up slightly more natural than my RAW file as there’s still some sharpening and processing in the RAWs
+The other cameras seem to be very similar in performance to the 1x described above, which is generally very good!
There’s no night mode, no timer, no pinch to zoom, no exposure compensation, no video, no other modes (pano for example) etc. It’s a point and shoot! Pros and cons to this and whilst I see the benefit of keeping it simple, I feel some of these would be nice additions which don’t detract from the aim of the app.
I’m enjoying it and would suggest trying it 🙂 Hopefully the dev can add in some of the basic controls like EV and timer without making it too detailed; I think that’d go down well!

Thanks for the report. I identified the issue, and it's fixed as of the latest update.
