## Review summary

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.
