## Review summary

Users largely praise Focus \[+\] for its strong manual controls — precise focus with a magnified inset, smooth zoom, and adjustable exposure/ISO that yield high‑quality images. The app shines for macro and landscape work, offering capabilities beyond the stock camera. However, recurring issues include stability problems (frequent crashes), difficulty exporting or saving output outside the app, a revamped UI that some find harder to use, and limited instructional help. Some also note video‑mode quirks. Overall, a powerful tool with notable reliability and usability caveats.

### Pros

- Excellent manual focusing with a magnified inset that helps lock focus precisely.
- Smooth, one-handed zoom control that lets you adjust zoom while focusing or setting exposure.
- Strong image quality and useful light/exposure adjustments for challenging lighting.
- Manual controls for focus, exposure, and ISO offer capabilities beyond the stock camera.
- Valued for enabling macro and landscape work with precision and control.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and startup failures across devices, affecting reliability.
- Output cannot be easily saved or exported outside the app, trapping photos/videos internally.
- New UI changes reduce usability; users report you cannot focus and zoom simultaneously.
- Lack of tutorials or hints about the UI makes it harder for new users to learn.
- Video mode has quirks and missing advanced controls (e.g., FPS options, ProRes).
