* Configurable on-screen display shows battery, time, remaining device memory, orientation and direction of camera; also option to overlay a choice of grids (including "rule of thirds") and crop guides.
* Optional GPS location tagging (geotagging) of photos and videos; for photos this includes compass direction (GPSImgDirection, GPSImgDirectionRef).

5.0 out of 5 stars Takes Photos/Videos Flawlessly
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2014
This app is easy to use taking photos and videos.. You can use the Volume Buttons to take a picture or start/stop taking a video. Zoom is easy to use.

It has a number of Color Options like black and white (monotone) and negative. It also has Scene Options. It has Burst Mode to take a bunch of pictures in a row (adjustable in number of pictures taken and seconds between pictures). It has a a Timer.

*Important*: To view, delete, email, and share, you will need another free Kindle app called " ES File Explorer " .

In ES File Explorer:
-Photos and videos are stored in a folder called DCIM.
-To delete, email or share a photo you have to Hold your finger on that photo for a second.
-View button on the bottom of the screen is a good feature

TIPS FOR USE OF SIMPLE CAMERA
-To get rid of the information at the bottom of the screen, click the Gear Icon. then click More Camera Controls, then Deselect memory, angle and direction
-To switch between camera and video click the small box with arrows.

Overall Excellent App

this camera sucks. all it does is take pix. no options at all. if you only need a point and shoot, get it. otherwise, don't waste your time.

Love the app. Works great on all my devices (Samsung galaxy note 8, lg optimus dynamic II, Samsung galaxy discover and Samsung galaxy player 4.0). Well worth downloading!!!!! Excellent customer service too. Great developer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will record for an hour or longer
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2021
I'm glad the Fire Tablet department let me know about this app. I didn't know why my hour-long video talks shut off at about 45 minutes using the Camera app without my knowing, as I continued speaking. It was so disappointing to learn the last part hadn't been recorded, to be uploaded onto YouTube and shared. But this app, Simple Camera, does the job! Now I can go on as long as I want. Or I can schedule the video to record for a set time of my own choosing. This Simple Camera is simply wondeful.

I've only used this a couple of times...but very intuitive to use and seemed to work well. Easy install on my S5. Looking forward to "playing" with it.

2.0 out of 5 stars External mic not supported
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2016
Very nice, but no setup to select internal or external mic. It just uses internal which is not good for a lots of events where external mic is a must.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good app, just lacking somewhat.
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2015
Pretty good camera. Works well in most conditions I've used it in. Only issues I've had is in regards to using the burst mode(doesn't work, but could be how I am using it). burst mode doesn't take multiple images with one button push. The other issue is there is a considerable lag from when I take a picture to when I can take another picture. The preview stays up for a considerably longer amount of time then my phone's stock camera or another HD camera app I am experimenting with on my LG Optimus G.
If not for these two issues, I would definitely rate this higher.

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2014
THIS CAMERA WORKS BETTER THAN MY LAST APP. I LIKE THE SIMPLICITY AND THE CLARITY. IT HAS SOME VIDEO CAPABILITIES BUT I HAVE NOT TRIED THOSE OUT YET. THE PICTURES ARE GOOD.
