No good
Doesn’t really work poor quality
Lacking important features
Can’t use existing photos from your gallery!
Doesn’t work anymore
App stopped working entirely.
Wrong App tried to delete but couldn’t Connection Problem
Not this App - Correct App for this review is Depstech. I’ve had this device several years - it has often been unable to connect to the server, and today it just won’t at all. The device was not cheap and I expected it to work consistently. Very disappointed. If I could return it I definitely would do so.
Let down
The original app in the iPhone 16 Pro Max is better save your guys money I feel like I was robbed no need for your boiler plate response……
The IPhone Camera app is far superior using it with a tripod the results were markedly better from the Apple Camera App .

Terrible
Every pic is very blurred no matter what the settings are, waste of money, it doesn’t take pictures that look like the ones on the ad- not even close
What a Joke
Just purchased this and immediately tested. Every picture taken is 4:3 with zero zoom and every shot is blurry. Changed all the settings (I’m not an amateur) and no matter what I do, the shot is 4:3 and blurry. Even when I manually zoom in on an object, it shoots a crappy photo from far away. I want my money back. This is garbage.
Where’s the stuff?
This app looked like a great idea. I should have experimented before the eclipse but. Anyway, I took a bunch of shots..BUT WHERE ARE THEY? Not in My Photos on my iPhone. No where I can find them. Worthless
Does nothing, same features your camera has.
It’s a scam
Not what I expected
Wanted to capture the Northern Lights continuously in one file over a five minute interval. This app shoots individual frames which I would have to stitch together. Does not add any value over the standard iPhone foto app.
Not easy to use
This app is not easy to use, complete waste of money. Intended for people with intermediate to advanced knowledge of photography.
Worthless
Completely froze after first shot
Now just black screen
Now just black screen
It doesn’t work for picture moon.
I am so upset that this app doesn’t work for picture moon. It wasted my early morning time about 2hours. I did google the instructions how to use it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work anyhow.
review
I would give this a 5/5 if you would add like a video type thing it would be pretty cool I mean it’s awesome but it should have that as well if it costs 2$
Don’t buy this app
Pretty disappointed with the result. Wasted my time and money.
Not ideal for night sky photography
I adjusted everything, set up my tripod and dialed it for 30 second exposure. I currently have an iPhone 15 pro max. The standard iphone camera app is far superior at 3 SECONDS than this app and 30 full seconds on a tripod. I adjusted pictures quality and messed around with the editing software and still couldn’t get it anywhere near what the one shot I was able to get without touching the photo in post. Needs some major updates before they start charging. Hopefully they see this and I get a refund.
Not updated well
They say they tried
The app does 0.5, 1x and 4x only. It needs work

So it has a really good slow shutter but…….
Whenever I use this app I see the lens in my shot and it turns everything green. I’m clueless. Please help.
Very stuttery, unusable
It worked fine for about an hour, then when I reopened it it was unusably stuttery
