      I've been using this camera for a while now, and has always been great, but like other reviewers with LG G5 and G6 users with the dual cameras, there is no option to switch cameras to the wide-angle....So if I need wide angle shots, im forced to use the stock camera. Otherwise, perfect app for all my photo needs (and then some)

      It would be nice to use the "take picture" icon to focus your image, just like with the default camera app. Also, every time when I restart my phone, the app crashes when I take a picture. But this is fixed when I go to settings -> storage folder, keep same location (in SD card) and save.

      The best camera for my Nexus 6 , I've tried a lot of camera apps but this one works the best for me. No ads is a huge plus for me also.
      Ryan Elbert
      Open Camera falls short of a perfect score for a few reasons. First and foremost, my phone gets quite hot while using the app...something that never happened when using the stock camera. Another fault of the app is I was having some pretty severe issues with playing the video back in the gallery. Sometimes the video would be there, while other times, it would not and I would have to back out to retry it. A very big strength of this app is it allows the use of an external microphone. I'm sure with some tweaking, the dev can get this app close to perfection.

      The best camera app there is. Except you can't mute it. Got me kicked out of no camera places cause you know I'm a rebel.

      HDR on Meizu M3X is very strange, worse than on previous releases. And generally not so good on this phone as expected from this app, please keep working, we have nice exmor imx 386 in the device, waiting for an update

      Replacement for my shockingly bad stock camera and it has performed brilliantly for what is basically a free camera. It has more setting than I need but for some I'm sure this option is welcome. Can't fault a great app.

      Takes awful photos on Galaxy S7. There seems to be far too much sharpening turned on which makes the final image really poor. Shame really as it has good functionality.

      Significant improvement over the camera app that shipped with my phone. Fully featured and lots of customisation available through settings. Loses one star due to the interface, which could fit with material design a bit better, but no real complaints.

      Now can taking great picture and video with Redmi3 (ido), Nougat 7.1.1. If possible, please make better video coding. So we can record video in smallest file size, but still acceptable in video quality. Such, 1MBps bitrate speed, in 720p.

      the only camera app that could disable the nasty smartphone autofocus, and let me do manual autofocus. video quality is much much better than stock camera app.

      I compared this app to the stock camera app and at 100% resolution the pictures were still grainy compared to the stock camera app. It may do some cool things that the stock app won't do, but if the pics are not great, then what's the point?

      Look no further.. You won't find any other free camera app, with support for Android camera API 2, packed with dslr-like functions and fully manual mode, while being free and free of ads. This is currently the BEST free camera app in the Android ecosystem.

      Best camera app. 10 million downloads, ..and Only 1 thousand downloads of ' Donate to Mark Harman ' app ( and that's probably spread over a couple of years ). It's less than 3 dollars Canadian. This is the developer that spends a huge amount of time improving this for free for all to share and enjoy . I never knew my old phone could auto focas so well !. I hope others will help him . Please share back , if you can ! ☺.

      It's a great camera app but I have few problems. Shutter speed: works well from 30" to about 1/8 then it's unusable - any adjustmens of shutter speed faster than that is happening on last 2mm of the slider. Some kind of wheel instead of a slider maybe please? When shooting in raw (dng) can I please disable jpg? And saving to SD location- it's not happening which means that open camera app will never be my primary camera app. (Saving raw files to internal memory then manually moving them- nah) . update: shutter adjustment fixed. Suggestion: iso and shutter speed sliders vertical and closer to the right/next to shutter button for thumb operation? Raw only please. Save to sd?

      Deserved 5 stars but rating reduced to 3 bc storing EXIF data can't be disabled (so I need to open each pic with an EXIF editor to remove that crap. Sucks pretty much.).

      This is a good camera app but I think it would be a awesome camera app if there was a way to change the format of the photo like jpg to png. Then I will change my review as the best awesome app than any camera apps.
