## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 3/5 — Needs better lens support

*2024-11-24, version 1.2.1*

Great app, but only supports the default lens and width. Wish wide angle and tele were also supported.

### 3/5 — Has potential

*2024-11-23, version 1.2.1*

I like the minimalist overlay, the ease of use etc, but there‘s a lot of potential:
- Pics should be taken in full res. Not only 1080p
- You should be able to select different lenses
- Landscape is not available

### 3/5 — full metadata

*2024-11-19*

Great idea, but could we store the photos according to the previous photo's aspect ratio, while preserving as much metadata as possible, including GPS information - similar to photos taken with the system camera?

### 4/5 — Please add 3x & 0.5x cameras

*2025-07-26, version 1.2.2*

Great app - would love to use my other cameras on my phone though.

### 4/5 — Ultrawide Camera missing

*2024-11-23, version 1.2.1*

Great idea and implementation. However, since I would like to take comparison shots of one of our rooms, the ultrawide camera would really be helpful. Either I’m not able to figure out how to select it, or it doesn’t yet exist. If so, an update to making the Ultrawide lens available would make for a perfect update.

### 4/5 — Great idea

*2024-11-23*

Men’s lifesaver! Please add the function of zooming in and out and I will rate it a full star tool and a must-have

### 5/5 — Landscape Orientation

*2025-12-29, version 1.2.2*

I love the idea of Vellum for recreating new versions of some photos my grandpa took 100 years ago. However he took them in Landscape orientation and they will only load into the app in Portrait orientation. Is there any way to get around this?
Thanks
Pete

### 5/5 — The Onion Skin App

*2025-05-03, version 1.2.2*

Really loving Vellum so far — the idea of using a reference photo while you’re taking a new one is super smart, and it’s been super helpful for keeping shots consistent. Great for creative projects or just trying to match a vibe.

One thing I’d love to see though: support for all the cameras on the phone. Right now it’s just the main 1x lens and the selfie cam, but it’d be awesome to be able to use the ultra-wide or telephoto lenses too. Would make the app way more flexible for different kinds of shots.

Overall, really solid app — excited to see where it goes!

### 5/5 — Simple and intuitive

*2024-12-02, version 1.2.1*

Unlike most other apps in this space, Vellum is simple and intuitive, with an uncluttered interface and straightforward workflow.

### 5/5 — Utility to the max

*2024-11-24, version 1.2.1*

A handy and handsome little app, right off the bat.

## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Simple but powerful

*2024-11-23*

Finally an easy way to compare pictures before taking the next one. Perfect to align a photo to the last taken photo.

### 5/5 — EZPZ!

*2024-11-23, version 1.2.1*

Simple and effective. 10/10 would recommend every time

### 5/5 — love this app

*2024-11-15, version 1.1*

so good and so simple. Highly recommend downloading. Thank you for making this 📸
