4/5Neat
This app is OK. I did find some issues but, they seem to have been fixed. I appreciate that the developer reads reviews and replies to them. More recently, an issue I found was that the only aspect ratio that is an option, at least without paying for the app, is 4:3. Pressing the button to change to 1:1, for example, shows the 1:1 option selected, and the look of the app changes but, the aspect ratio of the picture saved to the photos stays 4:3. During the 7 day free trial, the other aspect ratio options did seem to work but, now after the free trial they definitely don't work. It's not clear whether this is only a paid feature of the app, or if it's meant to work in the free version of the app. This issue happened even, after deleting and reinstalling.

4/5Simplistic yet specific controls, maybe add more settings!
Hello there! I have downloaded and tested dozens of free manual camera apps. This one is not particularly special or fancy. It works. You can adjust pretty much all manual controls but it is a bit limited in settings. The resolution is a bit patchy as well. For pro photographers, this is not your app! For beginners looking for something with a bit more control than the iPhone native camera app, it’s good. However there is a weird alignment issue with the aperture symbol and the other control symbols. Editor please fix this and add more settings and controls! Anyways not much more to say. Bye!

4/5Useful but flawed
Really useful camera app but I’d love it if you made it available for ultra wide and telephoto camera for pro users. Also maybe some sort of nd filter so slow shutter speeds can be used during daylight.

5/5Free trial good so far
So far app has worked well, the free trial has given me some cool features, and I’ve been able to take some cool flicks, especially in low light environments where my normal iPhone camera just doesn’t have the exposure/shutter speed.

5/5Great app for focusing past screens and things
This app to the rescue when iOS photos is too dumb to find and focus on your subject
