    Is it to much to ask to be upfront with what you’re gonna be charging someone for your services or product?

    Kept trying to charge me for a year and wouldn’t Let me choose. I didn’t even get the 7 day trial. They in my opinion shouldn’t try to trick people into buying their app. If the app good then you shouldn’t need to do this stuff.
  • Hmm

  • Using camera flash prevents manual focus

    I got this app entirely for the manual focus feature, but if I have flash turned on it overrides the manual focus setting and instead auto focuses.
  • Bate and Switch :(

    I purchased this app 4+ years ago and the way these developers have shown their thanks is to start charging a ridiculous subscription fee! Come on fellas :(
  • New update! Is it good though?

    Really liked using this app to have amateur photo shoots and better control over the camera. But yesterday (March 8, 2024) I noticed the app seems to be totally unusable unless you pay for a subscription service. Super lame that they made this decision without still having the ability to use it for free.
  • I was charged after canceling

    I was charged after canceling my plan during the trial days. I want a refund but I don’t even have a receipt
  • Billed me without my consent

    By I’m done with this one.
    When I sign up for a trial membership to ANY app, the first thing I do is immediately cancel the membership so that in case I forget, I won’t be charged. If I like the app and decide to continue using it, I just reinstate the membership. Despite having a receipt of cancellation I was STILL billed! Whether or not the app is good or not is now irrelevant. I don’t work with crooked people. If the app is good people will buy it. This subscription thing has run its course. Life is too short for this sort of nonsense. We’re not idiots.
  • Like app, don’t like subscription

    Much better than iOS camera app. Whites aren’t blown out. Zoom feature takes some getting used to
