Handed a stranger's phone for a photo ā and froze? Lensmera turns that moment around. It makes your phone a mirrorless-style manual camera that teaches you photography while you shoot, until you're the one saying "here, let me take it". On your device. Private. Auto mode takes fine pictures, but never tells you why. Lensmera does: touch a control and the live view answers instantly, with a short tip on what just happened.
