Camera+ app

I’ve just discovered another problem with the Camera+ app. My new iPhone 15 Pro Max has a 5x telephoto lens, but when I choose telephoto in Camera+ the telephoto magnification is only 2x.
I removed/deleted the app.
The built-in Apple photo app is good enough for me, esp. with ProRAW when necessary. The phone tech (13/14/15 Pro) is also good enough where I don't need a third-party photo app.
But their support is garbage and the scam to screw existing users - while not unique (see: Cider / iTunes replacement for Windows) - is still aggravating.
Thanks for the updates: gave bad reviews to both apps... a small consolation
BTW how were you able to start a refund /request?
I find it among my purchases but could not ask for a refund: could you?

I found another thread discussing issues with Camera+. See https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...all-my-features-offering-pro-instead.2410674/
Pro access was nuked from my iPad (which hasn’t changed in 3 years).
Apple shows no purchases - I sure as hell did buy it - TWICE.
No response from anyone.
They deleted all records of purchases.
If we can pool all purchases together, and choose a domain (country), it’s a Federal/gross and illegal violation.
But… good luck with internet.
I’ve already been in contact with the Spanish embassy who is useless.

Purchases are stored on Apple’s servers, not theirs.
That’s why you’re being asked to log into your Apple ID to restore purchases.
Understood - I know.
But Apple claims I never purchased it, even though I have a receipt which says otherwise.
And Apple has been 100% unhelpful.
The subscription economy.
Same here. It worked until I restarted the app. This, at least, give me hope they will fix it and they aren't cancelling previous purchases.
Same for me. Still won’t work if no access and doesn’t access 5x telephoto on my 15PM.
Heavy Plumb has released version 23.4.4. People who have previously paid for the app should now have access to the Pro version.
There is still a problem with no internet access, for example when using airplane mode. The workaround they shared with me (see #12 above) is not an acceptable long term solution.
Also, I’ve noticed that now the telephoto selection actually uses my 5x (120 mm) telephoto lens. However, the app still says 2x (52 mm) on the screen.
As a matter of fact, the focal length for the 1x main camera is also incorrect. It should be identified as 24 mm rather than 26 mm.
I sent feedback again on these issues.

I have a side question. Do you know how to download the pictures on your camera+ roll but keep them separate from your iphone camera roll? I have a lot of pictures in this app, and on the iPhone camera roll, and if I blend them all together I will be doomed when I try to sort them out. Talking over 20,000 photos between the both.i have the legacy version of camera+. i don’t know anything about the developer change, but there is a camera+ pro version now that i believe is the officially supported version.

I put my Camera+ pics into iCloud. I don't know if Photos lets you maintain two separate sets but it would be nice.
