User Reviews

Overall, The Simple Camera is praised for its clean, uncluttered interface, ease of use, and good photo quality, with a silent shutter option. Users also value smaller file sizes that save iCloud space and the ability to replace the stock iPhone camera, plus a fairly priced pro version that adds features. However, reviews repeatedly cite heavy monetization through ads (including banners and ads after shots) and a lack of portrait mode and other core features. Stability and OS compatibility issues, as well as problems with premium unlocks across different stores, are also common complaints.

Pros

Simple, uncluttered interface that is easy to use.
Good image quality and camera options readily available on the main screen.
Smaller file sizes that help save iCloud storage.
Silent shutter and other features make it a practical replacement for the stock camera.
Pro version is fairly priced and adds more features, making it worth upgrading.

Cons

Ad-ridden experience with ads appearing even for premium users, including banners and ads after shots.
Missing portrait mode and other essential camera features, with many users asking for these options.
Stability and compatibility problems, including crashes, black screen on launch, and OS-specific issues.
In-app purchase and cross-store unlocking problems that sometimes revert premium features to free mode.

Recent reviews

A very nice app but despite purchasing the premium version whenever I share a photo from the app, it sporadically ads marketing information and it cannot be switched off in the preferences. STOP PUTTING SIMPLE CAM INTO SHARED MESSAGE!!

It was fine until I saw banner ads of women being objectified. I will not support an app that puts this.

Simple Camera works great in every way for me. I have several other camera apps that cost more money, but they are more cluttered and more difficult to use. Simple Camera works well and has all of the most used camera options right on the main screen. I downloaded and used this app for a short time, liked it so well that I upgraded to the fairly priced pro version. The free version is very useable, but the pro version adds more features to further enhance the camera app. My thanks to the developer for an excellent app with an uncluttered interface that is fairly priced. Excellent app, job well done!
