Ratings and reviews

Not sure what happened recently to this app. But about a month ago I noticed no matter what I do I can't take a picture near leds in my house anymore. I used to occasionally get some black lines when trying to take a picture, but since a month or more ago the black lines don't go away if any light is on in the house it's stupid. Fix it, or add the option to change the shutter speed so we can fix it manually!

I don't know what happened, but when I take landscape photos now, the photos are not roasted accordingly in photos, I have to manually edit and rotate them to do this individually now. this stinks because for videos, I just don't see a way to rotate at all when this just used to happen aromatically with zero editing required. yes auto rotate is on. it just displays all photos and videos as if they were taken in portrait (vertical) mode, which is by far my least used orientation.

Do you not test the software? Since the update the most annoying thing is the camera automatically opens in macro mode on my Pixel 7 pro. It takes ridiculously long to come out of macro. Other annoyances is palm timer is garbage unreliable. Jerky zooming. Color balance is dull. You need to do better Google!
