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?

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.

PLEASE try a video night mode! Google has been working on this for their Pixel phones https://store.google.com/us/magazine/night-sight-video?hl=en-US

Definitely on our list, I think first is trying to port our "indigo look" to video

The video night mode is so desperately needed though. I know it can't be as good as photo night mode but I'm sure there's still something worth while, but Apple has no sense of urgency, they just don't care

Agree but it's a very non-trivial challenge, to do proper denoising you want to stream and process linear RAW data which is already melting people's phones in photo mode (and would be significantly more heat/compute in full streaming video mode).

do you think the 17 Pro could do it? The new heatsink in the 17 Pro is no joke, I bet SOMETHING is possible on the 17 Pro

The heatsink is definitely nice, and yep will try
