Great app and great project! This app is better than almost all other apps for the same purpose, most of them ad infested or require a subscription. I just wish there would be better support for audio when taking videos, especially a way to disable automatic gain control and set the gain level by hand. Automatic gain control on Android is so terrible that it makes it almost impossible to take good videos of music performances, especially classical music performances. The option to disable AGC and audio noise filtering would greatly enhance this app and make taking such videos with Android possible!

It's an open source app and the features are excellent! Thanks a lot! For me it's important to controll the storage, time and ISO. With these options I can take ICM (Intentional Camera Movement).

I love this app for its extensive features and long list of settings, but I am unable to use my macro lens. There is no way to switch the physical camera it is using, beside the front and back. Also, when recording video, there is usually a 5 to 10 second delay before it starts recording after I press record.

It has almost everything needed for an advanced user of video cameras for Android. Works really nice in my (quite old) motorola Moto G60s. I would love it if it has the abbility to record IMU data from mobile sensors at the same time the video starts and stop, for stabilization and other uses in post production. Great app!

Great app. The Xiaomi red note 9 phone. Camera2 API ON There is a problem. The application writes 240 fps video, but disables manual shutter speed and iso adjustment. And blocks the shutter speed at 1/241 (I want 1/500 at 240 fps). Please remove this restriction! 8...((
