Review summary

Users largely praise Open Camera for its smooth, user-friendly experience and ability to capture at full camera resolution, with strong support on older devices. However, several concerns recur: slow performance and shutter lag; image quality, color, and brightness inconsistencies; device-specific feature limitations such as removal of manual focus on older phones and restricted lens access; and a 4K60fps bug. Overall it’s highly regarded but with notable caveats depending on device and recording settings.

Pros

Smooth, user-friendly interface with reliable performance
Supports full-resolution capture from the device camera
Good compatibility with older devices and external microphones
Generally receives strong positive sentiment and recommendations

Cons

Performance lag and shutter delays on some devices
Image quality and color/brightness issues reported
Inconsistent feature support across devices (e.g., manual focus removal on older devices)
Limited access to certain lenses on some devices (e.g., telephoto) or device-specific lens controls
4K60fps bug causing recording to default to 4K30 on some setups

2026-07-11	ni*****	Used to work great, but has disintegrated these past couple of months. I don't dare change from photos to video now because I can't get it back to photos, no matter what I do unless I uninstall and reinstall. Shutter speed lags now, videos film in landscape and view in portrait... I haven't changed any settings at all. I really liked this app but have to find a new one because I can no longer rely on this to do what I need when I need it which is to take a simple picture.
