Ratings and reviews

Darkens all my photos automatically. Not the brightness, but makes the darker colors of the photo even darker and ups the contrast. I've messed with every setting and looked for solutions online and have had no success. It's so freaking annoying. You don't realize how important color truth is until you don't have it. My black cat recently died and I didn't get any good photos of him because of this issue for the last couple years of his life.

The basic interface for photo editing has not changed for many years. However, a recent update totally revamped it, making it much less user friendly in my opinion. But much worse than that, now every few times that I am editing a photo, after a couple of minutes of editing, it just bombs out of the editing section without saving my progress! And yes, I'm sure that everything is up to date. Very frustrating to say the least... Also, this 500 character limit causes me to have violent thoughts...

Great camera app. I especially love the astrophotgraphy features. The picture quality is always excellent with my pixel 8 pro. I also like how I can control everything from shutter speed to iso levels, exposure, manual lense selection, and many of the same features as high end digital cameras. I really don't get the complaints. My phone takes great photos with this app. My only complaint is that they need to compensate for the rotation of the Earth in astrophotgraphy.
