Ratings and reviews

I don't know if it's just the model of phone that I have (pixel 8 pro) or the app itself, but when I'm semi close to an object, my camera will switch focuses and make it extremely difficult to get a stable video or a non-blurry picture. I can hear the cameras in my phone "clicking" back and forth or changing something in there when I'm using this app. I'm considering deleting this app and replacing it.

Pixel 10 user. I've been struggling with over-saturated colours. The failure to provide manual controls is disappointing. Night shots over-expose, by going for daytime-like levels of brightness. It feels like all the focus has gone into GenAI stuff (which I personally don't much want) at the expense of basic photographic excellence - which has always been a key selling point of Pixel models for me. Disappointing.

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.
