Ratings and reviews

This is by far the best cellphone camera I've ever seen. It has so many different features and settings that can be modified to your personal preference and works well with combination of OBS Studios as well..I highly recommend this app to anyone who is serious about photography!!! I'd give it 10 stars if I could... Its also completely free!!!

Really happy with the way it's let me take control back on my google pixel 6 pro -- accessing so much manual control and turning off the processing has been a gamechanger. Definitely an app where you need to read the documentation to get the best effects, and I would love to see some other features like aperture priority mode/shutter speed priority mode etc., but overall delighted and really glad I found it.

For the longest time this app worked without issue and I used it quite a bit reviewing homes under construction. Just in the last little while whenever I took a picture in landscape mode the app would flip the image upside down. I checked to see if perhaps I have turned o "rotate view" but this was not the case. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled but issue remains.
