Ratings and Reviews
When I switch camera lens (to wide, etc.), the screen is black, until I put the app to the background and come back (Samsung S23, One UI 8.0, Android 16)
Crashes immediately after granting permissions
very much nice 🙂
when switching from different formats like jpeg tiff ect,the veiwfinder goes black and will not preview what the camera is seeing. also the low light performance is very noisy even when in a fairly lit room where other camera apps have no problem. Google pixel 9
I really like the app but unfortunately it doesnt use optical zoom, making my S Ultra series cameras no use and also a lot of unfortunate bugs in the system..
I still remember the experience with these guys, worst is the word
