It gives what I need to utilize the 13mp camera that my phone has. One issue though, the video camera blows. It is blurry all of the time. 4/12/22: The app now opens up my default video camera when I select the in app video camera. It doesn't save the settings even though I have it set to save the settings. It is also up to date. Can anyone tell me what's going on? Is there a fix?

2023.02.19 No longer able to pull photo from Gallery to edit or go to app from Gallery. Like it very much. 2022JAN I mostly use it for quickly editing. About a year ago, I started to notice that if I choose it (from Gallery) rather than the default Android app to edit, I'm led to the unpaid version. So, I have to open the paid version then go to Gallery and pull up the photo that I want to edit.

Doesn't work well on OnePlus 7 Pro. Shooting mode is stuck in RAW/JPEG, nowhere to change it. Can't adjust shutter speed; the slider jumps to ~1/92000 and can't be moved back up to normal speed. Photos are blurry no matter what settings are applied, and are frequently overexposed and noisy. Image on screen will often stop updating; camera UI elements still responsive, but have to close/reopen camera app to get image to start refreshing again. Has some nice features, but unusable on this phone.

very nice camera app. * the on screen Level meter is extremely useful for taking photos quickly and not having them end up tilted or skewed. * the settings and controls are fairly extensive but very easy to access and utilize. * it also behaves well when shooting in Landscape mode (wide screen) (you should ALWAYS shoot in wide screen mode!) ! amazing how many apps can't shoot Wide mode. ridiculous !

I'm on a new device, & generally most things are much better. Only problem is I can't reach the full MP potential of the camera (48). Seems to stop at 12mp. I'm not sure if there's a reason for that... Even the RAW images aren't as clear as 48mp jpg files that I can convert down to smaller PNG. It's weird. Idk if it's specific to BLU F91 5G, or some other weirdness. It's still a decent app, my roomie enjoys playing with it. The burst mode gets the best cat pics lol

This camera app is amazing. It utilizes any phone's camera to the fullest. My phone's camera has always been lacking when it comes to taking quality photos. That's not the case anymore with this app! It takes very rich, quality photographs. I never thought a simple software change could make such a difference. If you're unhappy with your phone's current photo capabilities, you need to give this app a chance.

I've had the paid version for several years, has worked great... until a month or so ago. Now on my phone & my tablet I get the pop up Error code 2 that the photo can't be saved to the SD card. However the phone (version 13) doesn't have any external SD card to remove & put back again & the tablet (version 9), though it does have an external card was saving photos to the internal card. Nothing is saved, no pics in Photos - the app is useless. I can't be the only one with this problem.

Works perfect. Highly recommended.. Update: Still using it on 3 different devices and no problems for years. Picture in picture and face tracking would be nice. I do FB live shots and use the rear camera shooting the subject and there's an oval (or other shape) with my ugly mug in the video. from the front camera. My Samsung S7 has this.

It's ok. Wasn't worth buying the premium and don't recommend it, although I'm not sure how much it costs now- could be worth it if it's like $3, something like that. No panoramic shot, which is ridiculous in my opinion. And although I'm not the biggest fan of the Galaxy S9+ camera, you can adjust many more settings in Pro then you can with ZoomFX. Its, eh, ok. Maybe better than other stock camera apps out there but with all the options becoming available to most phones, I can't imagine which.

This is a great app. I appreciate the customizability and all the additional feature most camera apps don't have, be in particular voice activated photo capturing. I like that this app was affordable and that the Creator is doing their best to stay on top of any bugs or updates. Finally I really appreciate that this is free on the Google Play pass but even if it wasn't it would still be worth the cost.

I've had the paid version for several years, has worked great... until recently. Now on my phone I get the pop up Error code 2 that the photo can't be saved to the SD card. However the phone doesn't have any external SD card to remove & put back again. Turning the phone on and off again doesn't help either. In the settings my local DCIM/Camera folder is displayed, but I still get the SD card error message. Nothing is saved, no pics in Photos - the app is useless.

This is a very nice App that definitely has more room to grow. I wanted to give 5 Stars but unfortunately I couldn't because the App does have some flaws & bugs and it's certainly not reaching its 100% full potential. Sometimes some of the features do not work properly with the app, I've had issues with Close Up Photos & Distant Photos as well. I'd love to see this App reach its full potential because the potential is there, the App just needs some tweaking & some new features & it will be #1!

Since my comment below was posted months ago the problem has not been remedied. In fact on my last trip it was even worse. In addition, if I leave the app open & my phone goes to sleep it crashes when waking my phone or it has a slow response. "I would rate higher if it weren't for the fact that it keeps freezing when taking a picture. And I'll close the app & upon restarting it is still frozen. Also when viewing the Zoom photos folder it crashes & takes forever to load."

Until this problem is fixed I won't use the app. - The issue is the gallery doesn't display pictures anymore. Only gray icons. Steps to reproduce: .When I take pictures the gallery icon is gray. If you look at the pictures, from within the app, they're gray. If you close and reopen the app there will be no pictures in the gallery portion of the app. The images are saved, just not showing up. Maybe a permissions issue? I'm running Android 12 with all permissions enabled.

I can't call myself an expert, but it does take nice images. However there are two UI issues. One is that the storage location setting is obtuse. I'm used to seeing either internal or SD card, and default and custom are confusing initially. Second, the shutter button is right where the SGS9's soft home button is, and it is very difficult to exit the app without talking an unintended picture, either using a hard press, or trying to swipe up to reveal the soft buttons or use the gestures.

I've used this app for years but on my new phone, the pixel 2, trying to close out the camera is a nightmare. The exit camera button doesn't work at all and when I try to raise the soft keys (which are hidden when the app is open) I inadvertently take a picture or two every time. I wish I could disable the shutter button when the 'touch to take a picture' option is enabled. I'll probably have to look for a new app.

Update: Where's the square photo option. Don't see it anymore. I've been using this app for ever and it's good. I use it specifically for product photos and it does what I need, however PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE add an option to lock the rotation so it doesn't change if I hold my phone at an awkward angle! I take photos at many different angles I'm constantly having to rotate my pictures. Also it never saves my settings when I exit but that's a small issue. 😊
