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

2026-09-12	SA*****	When I am recording a video from the selfie camera, after the recording is complete, the side of the video changes, meaning that things on the left side are moving to the right and is there any option to fix this?

2026-09-11	Ro*****	Best app in the market, and completely free plus Open-Source. Why this is the best app? The app provides complete control over camera this includes exposure light etc. I am using this app for recording myself for 1 year and it is the best app I have ever seen.

2026-09-11	A *****	For some reason in Android 14+, all photo and video taken with this app, have their thumbnails are screwed. This affects the quality of the files and make it unviewable. The only solution is convert them to another format (png/avi) or use the native camera. Seems this bug cannot be fixed after 3 years, how sad.
