Ratings and reviews

Extraordinaryly detailed! The picture adjustment capability is something I've never seen before,and I have several camera apps that don't come close to this. One thing though. I'd like to be able to access the other 2 lenses available on my phone. Right now the only, non stock app that has that function, is Open Camera. BTW I did purchase the upgrade.

The app is very good but the details in the pictures are lacking. There needs to be a little more detail.Sometimes the color changes in flower pictures, especially the violet color. Sometimes it takes a long time to save the image. Especially if the settings are controlled manually. It would be nice to have a separate macro mode for macro photos. Macro photos have become quite popular these days.

I was looking for OpenCamera alternatives, with deeper color grading options, and this app looked exactly what I needed - love luts and double exposure! But after testing it for a day unfortunately it's unusable rn. Zoom doesn't work properly, app freezes and closes randomly, freezing the gallery too, and after a while it stopped saving photos. Also drains battery like crazy, I'm afraid it will brick my phone if I keep pushing it. Pls optimize and fix it, the potential is so great T_T
