Love this app, a bit clunky with the camere on my phone whitch can't focus, but the results are still great. But for some reason it's not compatible with my htc explorer after I reseted the system settings, even though I used it before the reset

A good app but one big flaw I installed Goggles on my device and it ran perfectly on Froyo. However since updating to Gingerbread, whenever I use the snapshot feature the image is mirror-flipped. The pictures turn out normal, it's only the viewfinder that has this problem. It isn't the device, as the built-in camera and other apps work fine. Get it fixed and this would be a must-have.
