Would love this app if it didn't produce blurred/distorted thumbnails. Images are fine but the thumbnails are unrecognisable if viewed on Android, Windows, OSX. It's not just my phone...

It's good but it has consistency problems with the external mic option, even though it works once in a while after every restart of my phone. The 2nd time I use the feature it completely goes haywire or silent, worse it produces a "crackling" sound? It's not good for the well-being of my phone to keep restarting, my phone is a Huawei Y6 Pro 2019. I use a lavalier mic with Aux Splitter (That way it doesn't confuse my mic for headphones.)

An extra... A lot of possible settings and especially the possibility of filming with an external microphone, which is not the case with the original app. The only downside (very disturbing by the way), the switch to Android 14 (lineageos 21) makes the app stutter: very dark photos or colorized one time out of two ☹️)

This is my camera for indoor shots in low light. The Fairphone 3+ is known for its poor camera, this app can partially remedy that. The images are very bright. When the sun is shining, I use a different camera app.

Absolutely unsuitable for astrophotography, no long exposure times can be adjusted.
