Customer Reviews
Top Camera
After months of usage, I am back with an honest review. I cannot bring myself to rate it more than 3 stars. While every camera feature known to man is packed into this app, it does not help when the app is slow to start, always. It does not matter how much available memory I have, it is slow to launch.
I really want this app to replace the stock camera app (and even Camera+) but it cannot. It is much too sluggish that I end up missing the golden opportunity for a great photo. Speed up reliability of a cold boot and I'll revisit my review.
Orientation. This is another huge gripe. It is as if the devs stopped caring about this tiny little detail (if they cared at at). Disable UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown. I really dislike apps where the dev is so lazy as to let the app rotate upside down. Upside down is not a natural orientation. This upside down mode also messes with the horizon level so there is obviously a bug there. The toolbar, while in camera/video mode, should not rotate (like the stock app and even Camera+). Rotating the toolbar is not a "feature". Learn from your competitors.
While it won't be my "goto camera app" I am keeping it because video zoom quality is beyond amazing.
Overall it's a decent camera app with issues. It's not a reliable "goto app" in terms of quick setup, point and shoot. You will need to wait.
Excellent!
Excellent interface update makes Top Camera the best in the app store. I love the new camera bar and noise reduction filters! Top Camera has the best updates of any camera app in the store. The constant stream of new features makes buying this app a no-brainer. Developer also listens to users for future updates so if this app somehow doesn't have something you want, suggest it and you will likely receive. Includes many more high quality features than any other camera app I have downloaded.
the go-to.
It took a lot of wasted dollars and shots made with a plethora of subpar apps before I discovered this bundle of joy; I can't believe all the features the DEV put into this application! Not only will it replace the multitude of special effects apps you may have, but the high quality camera and gallery layout/sharing capabilities will keep you coming back for more. The DEV obviously has a passion for what he does and it shows in a well-made, seemingly honest application that doesn't have credit card pitfalls under the guise of more features. Most highly recommended app I own.
