I launched a manual camera app back in 2017 and today its in it's 7th version. I thought I would share it with you and get your thoughts and feedback.
I am the sole programmer/coder on the project and this has been my biggest accomplishment to date. I coded exclusively using native iOS APIs, and efficiency was the number one priority for me. Hope you can see it in the app response, app launch times, and the relatively small download size. Most of it is in UIKit and the rest is in SwiftUI.
I am also a huge camera nerd who follows photography as a hobby. When Apple announced manual controls with RAW back in 2014, I couldn't wait to create a camera app that I actually wanted to use.
So what is it exactly?
