Nice to see the RISC OS app naming convention making a comeback.
codr7•8mo ago
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.

nkjoep•8mo ago
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.

You are not the target audience
sergiodelagarza•8mo ago
Is the target audience here with us in this room?
gagzilla•8mo 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.

MrZander•8mo ago
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".
Telemakhos•8mo ago
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.

stefan_•8mo ago
Wow, a camera app to go with all the depressing gray apartments. And why all the fake noise?!
_aavaa_•8mo ago
Gimmicky 3D model and absurdly expensive subscription make for an instant uninstall.
joshstrange•8mo ago
It took me way too long to realize this wasn't a physical device but an app on your phone.
sleno•8mo ago
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•8mo 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.

>iOS only

It is Twenty-Twenty-Five.

x13•8mo ago
$14.. for a camera app. oof. uninstalled before I could take a photo and judge the quality of the app.
azinman2•8mo 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?

mikestew•8mo ago
$14/year, and no demo or other usefulness w/o a subscription? It's a bold strategy, I'll say that.
BugsJustFindMe•8mo ago
On iOS you can just cancel and request a refund. Users don't really need a demo.
goldenchrome•8mo ago
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.

h2zizzle•8mo ago
Behind a paywall and platform-segregated. I guess even the Mona Lisa is behind a velvet rope?
minitech•8mo ago
For anyone else who’s curious to see this app in use but isn’t willing or able to install it, here’s a convenient link to a random video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-CT9McJF4s&t=2m57s

this is just an advertisement for an app https://notbor.ing/plans avoid.

build in camera apps are already superior...
