I do NOT have a photography background, but recently started digiscoping with my Note 10+. I downloaded the app based on an online recommendation. My opinion is from an inexperienced users perspective. This seems more intuitive than my Note 10+'s native camera. I like the ability to change exposure with one finger, and quickly switch back to AF. HOWEVER, i also have the black screen glitch, the AF could be more accurate and faster, and action shots could be less blurry. Just my 2cents

Absolutely no medium to low light performance. I'm really confused by this app. Filmic Pro is great and I bought the pro version of this. I love the interface and features. But it literally cannot take a non blurry image in medium light. No matter how absolutely dead still I hold it. I'm on a brand new Pixel 6. It takes amazing photos in the native camera app in the exact same lighting. Not talking about night mode stuff. Just sitting in my living room with four lamps on and a TV. Blurry.

I really like the interface, the focus and exposure gestures give you easy control. I also enjoy the film simulations, with grain and vignette options that you can apply before you take the shot. The main improvement I'd like to see is support for optical zoom. I got a Samsung galaxy s21 ultra specifically for the optical zoom, but this app appears to only use digital zoom. The native Samsung camera app is still far superior in this regard.
