HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (31 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★Sep 26, 2026

My experience is that the app is hard to undersrand. Tutorials are a little confusing to me. My photography skills are less than beginner level and their adds where catchy because they made it seem easy.

★★★★★Sep 8, 2026

This App has a lot of in-App Programs to use and is for me one of the best I have currently seen.

★★★★★Sep 7, 2026

해와 달의 멋진 사진을 찍을수있게 해주는 어플. 아쉬운 점은 지도가 선명치 않다는 것입니다.
