    I downloaded it (and paid for it!) but it's fussy to use, and perhaps a bit buggy but it's hard to tell. There's apparently 2 zones that fire the shutter, and just one touch takes multiple photos. Also, there's a lot of lag between changing settings and seeing results, and sometimes when I remove my fingers it keeps changing settings on its own -- perhaps I tapped or swiped too many times and it takes a while to execute those actions? More detailed documentation might help.

      Oh wow, thanks for the feedback. I am really, really grateful. Ill have an update asap.

      If the shutter speed get too long, as with many "pro" apps, the refresh becomes slow. Like a mirrorless, best to keep the iso low as poss as the shutter speed to match your needs. Small sensors are not great at long exposures.

      I think I may have let it enter burst mode way too quickly if the shutter zone is pressed. Ill fix that...Actually, ill implement a toggle.

      Anything else in particular re the fussiness? I would love to make this as good as you expected it to have been for a paid app. Thank you.

        Also, just a note, the displays reflect the adjusted parameter to get the desired exposure value in Tv(shutter speed) and Sv (ISO) modes...so one value in one of those modes will always adjust live to compensate to get the exposure. I

        like app best in M mode. I basically lower the iso and adjust the shutter because I like taking pics of high contrast scenes.
