Ratings and reviews

Annoyed by the lack of customizabiliy in settings and control over the camera when using the default camera system-apps on almost all the phones we've ever tried, we searched for a solution. We tried various camera apps and most of them fell short of giving the kind of manual settings we wanted, until Hedgecam 2. It's like a breath of freedom, giving enormous control over the interface and camera experience, and has an endless sea of settings menus for every last detail. Amazing!! A 3 year user.

I've used about 25 different camera apps over the past 15 years, and this is my favorite. The DRO setting takes outstanding looking photos. It's not my main shooter, but I use it when I want to take specific photos that require that special look that the DRO setting creates. It makes my product catalog photos pop off the page. It's a bit clunky in some ways. The menus are laid out a bit counterintuitive.

Can't find an option to put pictures and videos on SD card. Update: found option to put files on external SD card. Only when I navigate to the card I get a message that says "can't write to this folder". All my other apps have no problem accessing the SD card. Updated again: Used Storage Access Framework to change to external SD card. Worked perfect. Now I'm happy.😀
