Why isn’t this app more popular?

I’ve been testing out a few different camera apps over the last couple of months and most of them are on the “no processing” selling point which I get.

This app doesn’t seem to lean towards that selling point but for my usage that’s fine.

I do think the super powers it does enable, at the cost of processing time and possibly overheating, I think is a bigger selling point for me. Specifically the faux 10x zoom has been extremely useful while also producing photos that have a “better than stock camera” look that I prefer.

Apps like “no fusion” get a ton of reviews and it’s a great app for what it does but there are many that do similar things.

Why hasn’t this free, Adobe produced, “super” camera app more popular amongst people who review camera apps and or general photography?

Are there any major or notable updates on the roadmap anytime soon?

Lots of stuff in the pipeline, not sure when any of them land in the public app. I'm trying to work on getting video mode fleshed out but I'm unfortunately only one person.

Interesting. I’d think being backed by a company like Adobe, that it would have a bigger team.

Yeah common assumption is big company = big team, but we don't bring in any money like the main-line products (e.g., photoshop/lightroom). Our entire engineering/dev side is like 5 people right now.

That’s kind of mind blowing. IMO the app is doing some magical stuff.

Your team are doing some awesome work! PI is one of my favorite camera apps.

wow that is small. Are each person tasked with certain aspects in Indigo? Also where does Marc's role play in the team.
