Their russian telegram channel has some opinions.

Besides a chemtrail conspiracy - reference there is a whoule channel for the ru-ukr war. I am unsure if it is in support of the war or not and translating it does not really clarify it (sentiment gets lost easily I guess).

Considering that, some clarification would be nice. Because I don't think I would trust a software made by russian "patriots" (quote from the channel) in the current geopolitical landscape.

    An Android camera having a Russian telegram channel basically puts this on the no list for me, dog.

    Like, I barely care to even hear their reasons.

    It's Russian AND Telegram? Does it come with hepatitis too?

    Uhm. It is important to remember that people are not the extension of the government they live under.

    If it was closed source I would agree but you can check for yourself if the code is good. Even if they are crazy.

    Telegram is involved with the shadier end of the crypto market, and for a market that's shady enough as it is without needing a shadier part, it's pretty damn dark in there.

    Also https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2024/08/25/telegram-is-not-really-an-encrypted-messaging-app/

    It isn't even viable for their uses. They should consider moving upgrading to Matrix or Signal.

    No I can not. I am not an android-dev, I am not the best dev out there and I don't have time to thouroughly go through a big codebase. It would defenetly be possible to hide mallicious code from me, even if I have access to the source-code. For really big projects it is safe to assume other, more knowlegable people have allready audited the code, but for small ones I have to be able to trust the devs.

    It keeps asking me to allow it to connect to the internet. What for?

    Hey, it looks pretty neat! Finally I found a Foss camera that can use the wide len of my phone. I'll be trying it for a while.

    Alas can't install it on my phone (xperia 1ii) because "unsupported device". Bummer, it seems actually great.

    Opening the app for the first time on my Fairphone 5 (listed as unsupported) actually crashed the OS, but after that it seems to be working ok.

    Closing out of the in-app gallery causes the app to crash. But that can easily be worked around by using some other gallery app.

    I'll be testing it for a bit to see how it fares against other HDR methods...

    Has anyone found the supported device list? It seems to work well on mine but still says it isn't supported.

    It seems to work just fine on OnePlus 9 Pro but says "Warning unsupported device" when it starts.

    Tried it on an older Pixel with GrapheneOS.

    Can't zoom, can't switch to wide-angle lens. Camera does not balance brightness by the focus point. Otherwise pictures look pretty much the same.

    I suppose this was made for specific devices in mind?

    It does not work on my OnePlus 7 at all. If I zoom it crashes, and I have to clear the app data to get it to work again. And if I just take a normal photo it just crashes while processing.

    Hello.

    Hopefully, feedback is appreciated.

    Searched on Google Play with no results, same on F Droid.

    Thanks.
