Ratings and reviews

Not enough manual settings e.g. ISO, shutter speed, appature, manual focus, etc, and those controls available are buried in too many layers of menus. Need to make settings more easily accessible directly from the main screen. Need option to place commonly used settings directly to the main screen so that you don't have to traverse multiple menu layers to get to them . No way to disable the automated photo retouching. Generally unhappy with this app.

Wth!? Why did you change it? It was bad before but now it's even worse! Worst camera app ever! Wish I could give NO STARS😑 What happened to the light and hue controls that were right on screen and so much easier to use? Why was it necessary to switch the location of the selfie mode button to the opposite side when it's been fine where it was! Trying to maneuver through the new menus is awful! You made this completely NOT USER FRIENDLY!

The app design is worse than before, to make a simple change on the light now we have to pass through layers of menus, all the settings are out of place and in the last updates the photos are getting worse and worse every time, I don't understand what happened to the simplicity and nature of the app and photo results that pixel used to be, cause now everything looks fake, the colors are way off and the pictures over processed - Professional photographer
