I wanted to use this for astrophotography, but I can't control the flash. All other controls work, but flash remains auto and can't be turned off. It'd be great if this issue could be fixed asap. When flash button is touched, a very narrow empty rectangle shows up instead of three choices (off, on and auto). Giving 4 stars hoping the issue will be fixed quickly. Edit: another issue was found. Downgrading to 2 Hmm... The slowest shutter goes only up to 4 seconds. I definitely need longer time.
FLAWED VIDEO. Zoom is hard to work with. No image stabilization even though the stock camera app does. PHOTOS: Oddly delayed when displayed in the gallery. THE GOOD: does have easy manual controls that are not part of the official app. The extra options may help amateurs to take better photos. Overall, it is good but a little complicated and sluggish.
Update: The dev simply pushed it onto me to do his work, which he could have done by just looking at any better camera app's system functions. But I actually still did it, sent it in email and then waited for months. No reply. I couldn't find a way to access settings from inside the app, so I long pressed the icon in my app drawer, to access the drop down list. I found settings there but each time that I tried to launch it, I received an "access denied" error
This is one of the best camera apps that I've tried, but it has one fatal problem - it can't focus properly. It takes 5-6 tries for the auto focus to get focused correctly. I can see it go back and forth and focus on the wrong thing most of the time, even when im shooting plain text. My default camera app focuses instantly every time so the problem is with your app, not my device. You should have it looked asap because that issue renders your app useless.
No support for 4k 60 fps. Flash button not functional when I tried to use it the second time. Interface is clean, but having the need to change modes (to / from the still / motion camera) makes it a slower app to use. I liked the level meter and the touch focus / exposure. No +/- exposure. Clearly, this is not the best camera app especially when most of my complaints cannot be said with other apps.
I love this app, but for some reason it continues to shut down after it takes a photo, no matter how I configure the settings. I suspect the issue is with my phone rather than the app, but I'm not positive since I don't currently have another model so I can try to replicate the bug. I'll update to 5 stars when I have a 2nd and maybe a 3rd device with which I can test my theory. Other than that, this app is by far my favorite camera interface – it fully utilizes all otherwise unused capabilities
This app has potential but so far.... kind of disappointing. It worked for a while on Note 8 but, now fails to activate the rear camera and when it does, it freeze or de-saturate the preview or even shows as black and white. Same goes for the front camera. Just a side note: both cameras function perfectly with the stock app. To bad, hopefully the developer fixes the issues. Until then is uninstalled. Will checking on it later.
No frame rate control when shooting video. No way to set an exact shutter speed when shooting vide No HDR when shooting video. No way select among S21 four cameras when shooting video. Why selfi video? HISTOGRAM IS REVERSEED! What is the default bit rate? No information on what the app is doing when one is shooting video so it's risky to use it even as a secondary video camera when shooting stills! Great interface for a photographer!!! But only if all 4 cameras are supported.
Good camera apps has so many features. I quiet impressed, but I think this app need more powerfull noise reduction effect. Photo results from this app has too meny noise, and too strong in sharpness and clarity. Adding stronger noise reduction and more soft photo would be perfect. Hope the developer would add that features in the next update.
While I am fortunate I have not been suffering some of the issues other have, such as the app crashing, there are two major issues I am experiencing: 1. My phone has a 48MP main camera, yet the app will not show a resolution higher than 12MP. Very little improvement over the limitation of the Lite version. 2. Any video taken with the app has a/several missing key frames within the first second of video, as a result there is a green artifact within the video for about half a second. I really hope the issues with this app can be resolved, it has so much potential over many of the included camera apps that are provided by manufacturers and it is not cluttered with 'fun' filters and the like which would mostly be used by children. Sadly until the issues are resolved I cannot giver a higher rating, especially considering the cost of the application.
Worst app ever! The interval timer looks nothing like in photos in discription with the night time stars pic. The shutter speed won't go higher then 1/10s when Samsung built in Pro mode goes all the way to 30s. Pics and video look super grainy. And this was advertised on a night time photography site? It's like going back to a 1990s flip phone 1mp camera quality. It's bad! Getting full refund. Got this to put automatic timer to catch a lightning storm but 1/10s shutter is too fast! Needs longer
After purchase I assumed there would be additional features or some explanation of what was offered, sadly no! The MAIN ISSUE is EVERY SINGLE TIME I have used this app it either stalls out, closes automatically, doesn't save pic or vids, does not stay open after capture, has glitches, bugs and defects that are very irritating and frustrating, especially for a paid version!
Best control options of any app I've seen (for iso, shutter speed, white balance, focus, etc.). I Really like how precise I can make the shutter speed and that I can change the noise reduction levels. I do wish when shooting in RAW while zoomed in that it would save the crop though. And an automatic stacking mode (like Pixel's astrophotography mode) would make this app just perfect.
I may have found a replacement for my most favorite camera, the CFV-5! This has all the controls I like, and a few that have me scratching my head, such as FP and the "zebra stripes". (I'm sure FP is neither Floating Point nor Focal Plane!) So, hurry and download the PRO version while it's free! (BTW, I d/l'd the PRO app to my oldish phone and was upset that the "new features" were not there; d/l-ing to my newer phone brought them up, at the price of losing SCN mode. _This is the mfr's doing. )
The app makes you pay 5 bucks for it, so I thought it'd be good, but it keeps having 'serious camera failure' periodically when I try to change the settings. It also won't save images because it won't remember where I tell it to save to, so it's effectively useless and I wasted my money. Don't waste yours.
This app has a lot of potential. I love the way the camera works, the layout and manual controls. Only app that has manual shutter with auto ISO. However, I could only select 8mp max quality, not the 48mp my dual camera has. A large usability issue is there are no labels under the icons in the settings menu, requiring us to press everything to find what it does, and again if we forget. What do the tree icons do? The screen just blanks and is sticks on single tree.
This is almost like another camera app that I have problem with. If you guys are going to clone each other's work, at least make it work right. This one keeps wanting portrait mode. The settings icons are mostly intuitive but a little help would be nice.
A solid 4 stars! 5 stars for manual flash options in manual shooting mode. I often shoot in the dark with a longer exposure and definitely don't want to use the flash. Currently I need another camera app for doing lightpainting. 'Touch to Focus & Shoot' or only even 'Touch to select focus point' would be a perfect option. I choose my manual settings and would then like to focus and shoot. Now, touching overrides my manual exposure settings. Frustrating. I wonder why the ISO selector shows a one stop lower value than the actual?
Two big drawbacks with this could-be-great payed camera app: (1) no lens geometric distortion correction, (2) longest exposure is 0,5s when even my native camera gives 10s. My suggestions for improvements: As for exposure: 30s would be great but bulb would be just perfect. HDR hyperlapse feature might be great addition.
One of the best camera apps I think. Premium version absolutely worth it. You cannot crop the pics tho and have an issue where it'll cut out the majority of the picture it'll try to take due to the size it's set to. But no matter what I switch it to, it still won't capture the whole photo.. so that's why I had to leave off the last star.
Today we had clear sky and sun for the first time in weeks and after making over 500 pictures I did comparison with the integrated camera app and I found excessive sharping to the point of losing details. When shooting indoor and at night this app is making amazing shots, but at nice day with max sunlight is total fail. The most strange thing is that when you look at the pictures in the phone they really look ten times better, but on the PC the oversharping is clear.
This ap takes pretty good photos, but there are a lot of bugs. Frequent crashes and lock ups which require me to restart my entire phone, and one of the few times I tried to use video the picture was frozen in playback mode while the sound continued. I really wish this ap worked better.
This is better than many of the video apps on here and has many great features, but annoyingly I can't change the white balance temperature. All that is available is the presets that work OK, but I can't make changes on the scale. The phone I am using is a huawei honor 9 lite.
Much better than my Samsung S20 built in camera app which can't lock focus on the simplest shots. This app produces much sharper pictures and with better control. There are occasional shots where Samsung's app will do ok but this is a much needed alternative.
I bought this app primarily for shooting video as I wanted a little extra control over the camera settings. Unfortunately whilst I've gained control in some areas I've lost it in others. For example this app allows me to record at 100mbit which is great and I can tell there is a quality improvement, but I've lost the ability to shoot at 60fps and I can't increase the audio quality or switch from mono to stereo sound which is a deal breaker.
