I've seen others say there are alternatives, but if you actually want the whole sensor, this is the only video app I've seen to actually expose full sensor 4k video.even the built in quicktake video feature, at least for 15 gen and below iphones, can do full sensor video but only at 1440p in sdr.so despite having that feature that I have really been looking for in a camera app; all the other stuff people have said about the payments, and the fact that it wants access to my whole camera roll just to save anything is crazy. and makes this app not worth it for me.the 4k 4:3 video on here doesn't have any option for stabilization either, which I get might require a bit of a crop in, but I think that should be an option.idk, this app is too greedy and shady for me. it's probably trying to harvest your camera roll if you let it. especially since it holds saving any video at all hostage behind allowing it that full access.reply to the dev reply:okay, assuming nothing about this app has changed since I wrote the original review (I think a couple months ago), I don't remember what I was referring to by log in, so I'll take that specific piece out since you say it now as if you never asked for that.but downloading this app again now, it does still look like you want way more money for basic features that I am interested in spending, and it does still look like you require full camera roll access to save anything.for me this is not cool.you could save video with just add only permissions, or at the very least accept limited access with no photos selected like a lot of other 3rd party camera apps accept currently.I'm actually surprised this app distinguishes between full access and empty limited access granted and I see no reason to require my actual full camera roll to be shared with you unless you actually want to do something with my preexisting photos.maybe this is something you haven't considered, or some glitch in the permission check implementation in this app, but from my perspective this behavior looks weird.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. A few clarifications:- The app does not require a login.- Photos access is an : On iOS, full access to your photo library is required if you want the app to also save and delete items you recorded. This is Apple’s design, not data collection.- Privacy: The App Store’s App Privacy section for this app explicitly states “Data Not Collected.” The app does not collect ANY personal data.- 4K 4:3 stabilization: At the moment, Apple’s APIs don’t provide sensor-crop stabilization for full-sensor 4:3 at 4K. This will be true for any other iOS camera app.I’d appreciate it if you could update or retract the statements about logins, data collection, and Photos access, as they’re not accurate and can harm OpenCam's credibility. I’m a solo developer working hard to build something useful. I’m always open to constructive feedback, but inaccurate reviews like these really hurts.
