There is only 1 image for you to play with - the app description talks about multiple examples for you to play with, but it is the same image with different simulated lighting scenarios. Also every time you snap a “picture” the app makes a shutter sound, even if you have your phone volume off. Great idea for an app and I want to like it, but it is severely lacking currently.

Very helpful for beginners like me

But once you get the settings right on the one and only example available, it's pretty useless. I definitely feel that I just wasted my money on this.
