## Review summary

Users praise Manual Camera 4 for DSLR-like manual controls, RAW support, and value, noting it can significantly improve iPhone photography. However, multiple reviews flag stability problems (crashes/blank images), unreliable focus locking, imprecise UI controls (slider/zoom jumps), and white balance inconsistencies. When it works, it’s powerful and versatile, but reliability and precise control require improvement.

### Pros

- DSLR-like manual controls for photos and video (shutter, ISO, focus, exposure, white balance).
- One-time price with no ongoing subscriptions, offering good value.
- RAW shooting support with color-accurate results; white balance control; easy workflow to import into Lightroom.
- Color accuracy improvements and reduced post-processing needs compared to native camera results.
- Widely useful across subjects (artwork photos, motion/low-light work) and praised for maximizing the iPhone camera potential.

### Cons

- Crashes and general unreliability, including occasional blank images or failed recordings.
- Focus is not reliable; real focus and lock can be inconsistent or nonfunctional.
- UI/controls precision issues: sliders are imprecise and zoom can jump; difficult to dial in exact settings.
- White balance/color accuracy can be off (Kelvin scale mismatches and misleading histogram).
