I have a nexus 6. Changing white balance "works" but I can only see live what the change will do for tenths of a second, then the colors go wonky. After the shot is taken wb looks right, but you can't see it live. I also have had it crash on me a number of times. Love the manual features, but I wish it would be more stable. I would pay more for stable (;

The app was nice for the time it was released, still working... but an update will be appreciated. There are features missing that other cameras are using... like zoom in and then manually focus in one movement, one touch move up zoom, move left after that to activate manual focus, up/down to adjust... all in one movement without removing the finger from that single tap.

There doesn't seem to be an HDR mode, which is a bit frustrating as I use that most frequently. It's probably the only thing that prevents me from using this as my exclusive camera app :/. Scratch that, the app is frustrating to use. Just spent 10 minutes trying to get settings right and never could. Grrr...

I was apprehensive to buy this app based on the reviews. Thankfully, I bought it anyway! I'm not sure why this app isn't rated higher. As an amateur photographer, the things I missed most with my phone camera were the manual settings. Now I have complete control. I'm using the Pixel 3, and all the functions work amazing, f-stop, ISO and manual focus. It's almost like having my Digital SLR in my pocket!

This has the best manual controls compared to others. It just make sense and is easy to use. However without focus peaking, it's a deal breaker. Which is sad. Hasn't been updated for ages so i guess development has stopped. Shame

Everything works great on my nexus 6 except the white balance in kelvins, but in present works fine. It'll be great if have video recording. I contacted the developer for feedback 6 months ago and never got a response, either they fixed my problem of Kelvin's values on nexus 6. Very poor customer service and attention.

Shutter speed is amazingly fast and it does let you use the auto focus for macro which was an issue I had with about 10 other programs not doing. Some of the features are clumsy like when you go to manual focus it always starts with infinity. It needs an update but it's a great program

Simple to use. But dated, lacking support for newer hardware features like - multi camera, - separate shutter speed, iso control (having one of them in auto) - support for longer than 5 sec shutter speed.
