An app that doesn’t respect my mute settings and blasting sounds fx and music cannot be trusted.

0/10 immediately uninstalled and reported. total garbage.

  • gagzilla ・ a day ago

    Same concern. Uninstalled. The other obvious concern is of not being able to test the actual app without a paid subscription.

    Side note- I wish the AppStore would identify apps that are completely useless without a paid plan.

      I'm surprised that isn't already against the app store rules. Seems like it totally undermines the idea of an app being labeled as "free".

    You are not the target audience

      Is the target audience here with us in this room?

It took me way too long to realize this wasn't a physical device but an app on your phone.

Gimmicky 3D model and absurdly expensive subscription make for an instant uninstall.

Fourteen dollars a year apparently. Deleted at the purchase screen: I didn't even get a chance to take a picture with it, so I have no idea whether it was any improvement over the stock iPhone camera app.

Right, way to expensive for what it offers.

I would consider paying the 1 year price for unlimited access.

If I was allowed to try it out before paying, that is.

Well I guess I'm the only one here with a positive review of this app. Kudos to them for trying something different.

It's functional, interesting, and well designed.

You don't need to pay the subscription to use the app so don't know what everyone's complaining about.

  • Spivak ・ a day ago

    Agreed, this app is delightful. The look and feel is exactly where I'd hope design would go from here. It's colorful, the controls are intuitive and give good physical feedback. The exposure mapping is really useful as well as the focus mapping.

    Extremely well done app.

Nice to see the RISC OS app naming convention making a comeback.

$14/year, and no demo or other usefulness w/o a subscription? It's a bold strategy, I'll say that.

  • BugsJustFindMe ・ a day ago

    On iOS you can just cancel and request a refund. Users don't really need a demo.

$14.. for a camera app. oof. uninstalled before I could take a photo and judge the quality of the app.

  • azinman2 ・ 20 hours ago

    Is $15 a lot?

    I also agree I should be able to take a photo first and see. But $15 doesn’t seem that high?

Ho ho ho the comments here are vitriolic. For anyone missing the point, Not Boring is an experimental studio that creates highly sensory everyday apps like weather and calculator.

It’s functional art.

    Behind a paywall and platform-segregated. I guess even the Mona Lisa is behind a velvet rope?

The site looks like someone tried to manually mimic LLM generated content

It is Twenty-Twenty-Five.

  • izolate ・ a day ago

    I see no issue with a solo dev wanting to specialize in the iOS app stack—the App Store is where all the money is anyway.

      It is, once again, Twenty-Twenty-Five.

Wow, a camera app to go with all the depressing gray apartments. And why all the fake noise?!

    It's not like they are hiding it. It clearly states "iPhone & iPad" right under the "Get App" button right there on the landing page.

      Which is a click away
