Contact Camera Legacy Support

I have used this app for a number of years to take photos for my business and personal use. I have recommended it to hundreds of people as it was the best way to take a picture and make the most of it before transferring it to your photo gallery. That is no longer the case and I am strongly considering deleting it from my phone completely. The new function that will not take a picture unless the app considers the camera to be absolutely stable is infuriating. It is already a downside that it takes too long to open the app in order to take a Candid picture in the moment. Now, half of the time the phone will not take the picture at all! It just continues to say that the camera is not stable no matter how stable you are holding it. I have missed way too many pictures since it installed this feature and it is just not worth it. If you want to be really angry, continue using this app. Otherwise, I would strongly recommend not even starting.

This was an extraordinary app when I started using it years ago. The controls remain top-notch. But lordy, the lag! Native camera app spins up in a second or two and shutter response is nimble. Camera+ on a good day is 4-5 seconds of black screen, then the camera, which then gets rescaled a second later. OK, I can live with that, but pop the shutter and just sit there. Hit it again, nothing, again, nothing. Shift your framing and then the shutter pops. Give up in disgust and lower the camera and two more pop off in rapid succession. Granted, I'm on an iPhone 6, so nothing is zippy, even after the battery swap. But again if you benchmark this against the native app, there's no comparison. "Spontaneous" photos are completely impossible. Thought to upgrade the v2, but the reviews there cite the same problem. So just deleted this.

This app does a few things well and offers some innovative filters and other tools that definitely offer the user some effective and useful options for creatively manipulating images, and even improving borderline exposures. Having said that, there are shortcomings that include crashes while saving and loss of images beyond a certain undefined date. If nothing else, Camera+ should indicate at what point photos will be deleted from the plus database so they can be archived elsewhere. 2 years later update: Ugh, still losing some great images due to unannounced cloud deletion, and crashes when saving edited images makes this very frustrating app. Get ready to tear your hair out if you push your creative skills. The app craps out just when you have an image right where you want it. And there's no history to take you back. This ain't photoshop, baby.
