Great app. Please add the ability to use the wide angle camera that is on a s23 ultra. Using the switch camera feature does not work with all the cameras, just the main front and rear. This would make the app perfect for my needs. Thanks!

It's the best viewfinder app on Android. I wish I could have preset focal length lenses instead of the slide. Otherwise, it's great 👍

I paid for the full version because it allows me to select from various wide angle lens adapters. Well worth it. I found a US $1 wide angle adapter in stock at my local Dollar Tree store. But the package does not say what multiplication factor to use. Would you like me to send one to you for testing? A few suggestions I would like to see added: 1. The ability to insert a Copyright line into the EXIF data. This could help to protect my rights. 2. the ability to add a watermark to the image. For the same reason as #1. 3. a toggle on the main screen which would instantly turn on/off the wide angle lens setting. As it is now, I have to go back to the Settings menu then go to the lens screen and make my choice. All at the same time I am juggling adding or removing the lens. 4. hepatic feedback when the cell phone is perfectly horizontal or vertical. Yes, the green dot illuminates, but it is almost impossible to see in bright light. 5. your high contrast B&W looks good but what about having regular B&W + the ability to try different color filters such as red, blue, green, yellow or orange? When photographing landscapes or architecture using color filters can make a good deal of difference in the final image. 6. the ability to ONLY snap to what lenses I own. Right now when I am scouting a location, I must be careful scrolling lest I set a focal length while scrolling that I do not own. I am sure as I use your app I will have more suggestions. Thank you.

Unable to enable ultrawide lens so nothing below 35 mm is visible. And the button to change cameras just changes to the front cameras.

I'm not able to take photos using this app on my Samsung S22 Ultra. On pressing the camera icon in the app it shows processing ... and hangs.

I can see this being a brilliantly useful app, however, I am having the same problem as lots of reviews on here which is that it gets stuck on the "processing image" message (all permissions granted). As soon as this is fixed I will gladly change my review to 5 stars!

***** Important Update for Magic Universal ViewFinder app ******
1. WE HAVE REWORKED THE APP. We were aware that older Android updates have caused issues with saving still images in the app. We are sorry and we want you to know – this is fixed now.
We are rebuilding the app from the ground up to ensure full compatibility with the latest Android versions.
2. TEST THE NEW APP. The new app has less features than it used to have, but we are working to bring them back.
We especially need your confirmation that image capture is working reliably on your device. If saving photos works for you now, please let us know in a review or feedback — it helps us enormously.
3. WHAT FEATURES NEXT? The app currently includes live camera preview, frame guides, and image capture. Many more features are on the way. If there is a feature from the current version that you rely on and would like to see prioritized, please tell us in your feedback. Your input directly shapes what we build next.
Thank you for your patience and loyalty.
