Ratings and reviews

Leaves a lot to be desired. Photos don't automatically show up in the camera roll. You have to manually "share" photos with the camera roll. And you can't add raw images to the photo roll! Image processing lacks control, especially compared with the competition. The app feels like a funnel for ON1's cloud storage and syncing product ON1 360.

I'm a pretty loyal On1 fan so I was really excited about the release of this app. Unfortunately this first version is not very usefu, at leastl on my Samsung Galaxy S8. Full auto works fine but changing shutter speed, or ISO results in a black screen. White balance works well and focus peaking is very helpful when it works; unfortunately sometimes it stops working all together and locks the focus so that it can no longer be changed without restarting the app. Functionality is a bit half baked. In manual mode, I can't seem to find a way to set a single element back to Auto once you've changed it without resetting everything. The Editing tools, while a little more basic than I expected, work well and seem to use On1's standard, and excellent, AI technology. One feature I wish were available is the ability to link a cloud account to the app. As far as far as I can tell, the app uses it's own location for photos and therefore, doesn't sync to the default cloud account on the device (I use Onedrive so it may be that it syncs to Google just fine). I understand On1's desire to require users to use their 360 product but for me, that product is overkill and would not be worth the money just to sync my phone automatically. All this said, I've only played with the app a few times so it's possible I've missed some settings (though there are very few settings) that address my functionality and feature issues. On1 is EXTREMELY good about listening to it's users and making changes and fixes based on user comments so I have little doubt that many or all of these issues will be addressed shortly and I look forward to using the app when they have been.

Needs work! The camera can take DNG pictures. You can import pictures too. Where do they go? Who knows. When you save a picture, it's saved as a JPG. There's no way to change the default location. You'd expect it to be under DCIM but instead it's under Pictures. It says it saves it under Camera Roll. Huh! It and it's PC update is not ready for prime time. After updating to the newest version of ON1, on the PC, it no longer can start. A little bit of quality control would go a long way!
