Open Camera - Latest Quality Issues

The camera is a deception, when shooting it increases the brightness, when playing back the recording, everything becomes like in a standard camera phones, just a fiction..

Poor quality, turns all photos into cartoons, looks like an oil paintings.

geo tagging is screwed up, takes forever and multiple restarts to get gps access.

The application is very good, there are more settings than the stock camera application, if you make these settings correctly, it shoots very well, but I have a problem like this, it records a 5-second video for 17 hours, I could not find the solution to this, this needs to be solved

The app is very usable. Unfortunately, the continuous flash (torch) option was removed in some updates. After the update, the torch mode still worked, but I turned it off once and after that it could not be turned back on, there is no torch function in the menu. For this reason, I give it 4 stars, I don't know why they did not leave the choice of torch enable in the settings menu. My phone has 3 rear cameras, but only 2 cameras, wide and normal, can be selected in the app.

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 ☹️)
