Open F-Droid, search camera. I see Fossify Camera, Open Camera, Libre Camera, and FreeDCam that basically provide the appeal that this subscription camera app has (AI-less).
Open PlayStore/Alternative, search camera. Holy cow! I'm not even going to name any. There are so many. Not all are AI-less, but there are a plenty.
Also, GCam has a RAW option. So.... out of the box, this new camera app is unnecessary.
you can only take five photos per day without paying for a subscription, which costs $0.99 / month or $10.99 USD / year
Are you kidding me with this shit?! I have no problem with paying $11 straight up for an app, so it's not about the money. I simply refuse to encourage the garbage "subscription all the things" model.
Why would you make the picture worse on purpose? The cameras of modern phones have their own Algorithm chip to enhance the image as the actual camera isn't really that capable.
