    On a Pixel phone it gives the same image quality as the Pixel Camera. It also seems less overly-processed than Pixel Camera.

Since I installed LineageOS on my OnePlus One, my main complaint was that the default camera app that comes with the installation is just unusable. It would take about 5-7 seconds to open, and when I tried to take a picture, it would take two pictures; one that is horribly over-exposed, and the other is too dark to see hardly anything.

I was able to find Open Camera on F-Droid and set it as my default camera app, and it opens in less than a second and takes clear and perfect pictures with every click!

It is crazy, I installed it in my samsung galaxy a34 5G. and you can literally modify all the garlics, either, iso, the focus, you have even a lot of grids to improve the frame, you can improve the size of the live photo, put filters, oar hdr and other photo modes and a thousand more. besides all so garlic and operation of the application in general, are very, simple. 5/5

Easily the best libre camera app on Android. Works decently well on a wide range of devices and allows plenty of customisation.

It's free, and free without ads. It has lots of functions.

It's Open Source, Free, and it has so many options you can tweak to your preference.
