Ratings and reviews

This has long been my favorite camera app, but as of late its been driving me absolutely mad. It seems to always focus on the wrong depth, and choose the wrong camera (P7Pro), often simultaneously. I get better results in mid range shots by purposefully focusing on something other than the subject. I'm sure the team behind the app is working hard. If I had to guess, google needs to give them more support to do their job, as this app is nearly single handedly eliminating the pixels party trick.

Good for zooming in on really far things, but overheats after just a few short minutes in the sun and you lose quality. Can't zoom in to look at something with front facing camera because it won't focus on something specific, it's too busy telling you to zoom out because it wants your entire face even when you shut off everything that could be related to focusing on your face... and it's the same with trying the back camera. Can't use macro, because it wants to focus on your face instead.

Using this on a Google Pixel 6. Maybe that matters because I love my camera! But it seems like most don't. 🤷 Everyone always mentions how great my photos turn out and end up comparing it to their iphones. Haha! I feel like I have a ton of control on lighting, color, and focus while taking pictures and they come out exactly how I wanted them to. This is coming from somebody who used to be a professional photographer.
