Not satisfied with your Android device’s built-in camera app? Numerous alternative apps are available.
The free Open Camera stands out in a positive sense. Open Camera works from early Android versions (version 4.0.3 and above).
Open Camera contains all the features you would expect from a modern camera app. There are the basic functions for automatically taking photos, but you will also find extensive options for manual photography. In addition, the maker has paid attention to smart functions. For example, you can automatically take a photo when you make a sound: useful if you want to have the camera print remotely. There is an option to strip the meta information from your photos, so that the photo reveals less (privacy-sensitive) information.
The maker considers it important that the app remains free and accessible: the app has no distractions such as advertising banners.
On the publisher’s website you will find a detailed explanation of how the app works. It is important to note that not all features of the app are available on older Android devices. The app is of course dependent on the available hardware.
