Ratings and reviews

With no warning, they've hidden the exposure settings that used to be right on the screen. You could tap to select focus point and then adjust exposure, contrast and white balance, all with one finger. Now you have to pull up a menu. Terrible UI choice for the most-used feature of a camera! Please let us roll back to previous versions! I'm going to have to wipe my phone again and just block updates.

I loved this app, truly. I'm not a professional photographer but I enjoyed the pictures here at one point. I the color temperature feature for sunsets to get a different color in sometimes, and now that feature is completely gone. Not to mention that the sliders are now inconveniently placed. If this is a way to force upgrades to newer phones, I hate it and it's a terrible and sleazy marketing maneuver. Let us customize what we want for our settings. Please just let us have the ability to do so.

Switching from LG to Google is pretty disappointing. The way the photos are processed on google, you really don't get the quality you should with this camera. Also, I absolutely hate that there aren't pro settings where I can see my iso levels, shutter speed, etc. I'm a photographer and want to be able to choose my settings, not guess where I'm at with a slider. At least add an option to turn on pro settings for people who want to be able to use that info when taking photos.
