Great app !
A do it all, free app. Hope that there's no catch in the future.
One of the better RAW image capture apps
This is one of the better RAW image capture apps on the iPhone. The UX could be a bit better, but overall, it is a good app. The developer is responsive too.
Great
Amazing app just wish it had a 48mp pro raw mode for the newer iPhones.
Best camera app!
The best app for the camera I have used so far. The only thing I am not able to use is this widget for the locking screen. I can not find this function.
A great app with just one lack
This is a wonderful app. I like the way it works and the concept to develop raw file with presets that you can choose while shooting. The only thing I don't like is the lack to set 48mpx on raw photos. Hope they will add it in the near future.
What a beautiful feature rich app
Very nice designed app full of features and capabilities.
Great But...
Animations are slow and almost everything takes multiple taps to complete. There's no undo or reset for individual adjustments such as curves. Also, the buttons and the whole UI are a bit confusing. Otherwise a great app. Looking forward to seeing it improved.
Trying to make it my go to camera app
I love the functionality of the app. Everything is amazing and I love the attention to little details. However there is a singular bug which causes major pains. In manual mode, setting the shutter speed to the longest setting breaks the check button. The app starts lagging and the shutter speed button stops working entirely. Happens on iPhone 17 Pro Max.
The best editing and shooting app on the AppStore right now
By far the most sleek and sophisticated dedicated app for photography on iOS, huge pros to the developer. You are missing out if you do not use it to edit raw files on the go. It is better and easier to use than Lightroom.
My go-to for iPhone photography
Probably the best camera app for iPhone, it totally changed my way of taking pictures.
Most functional free camera app with actual controls
Every other camera app I've tried are either free but worse than the default camera app, or they have the controls I want but are paid. This is exactly what I was looking for: free without ads and includes controls that the default app lacks. V4 is a good improvement, adding both front and rear support.
UPDATED FOR LUMA 4 - An excellent camera app for every level
An update came out that addressed auto-exposure when tapping in manual. This app is by far the best of any I have tried and it made me much more willing to shoot on my phone. LUMA has the full manual control I want, along with presets and an editor. Whether shooting fully manual or casually, there is something here for every level of photographer who wants more than the default camera app.
