If you find other camera apps over-fussy (and their photographs annoyingly oblong) then 6x6 is the app for you. It stays out of your way as you focus on the most important aspect of photography: getting the right composition in the frame.

Awesome!

I’m an old professional photographer who use to shoot 6x6 along with all the other formats. I have been using this app for several years and it is awesome! I’m currently shooting an IPhone only project using this app and it is phenomenal!!
Great App!

This one keeps getting better abd better. I love a square image and this one fills the bill. The contols are all there and the image quality is spot on.
Simple and fast

And square. My go to photo app. Hopefully an update will include the use of the volume button as shutter release. It really is faster than the rest
Most Impressive

I love using this app! One of my go to, primary camera apps. Great interface. The developer is VERY responsive and that is so much appreciated. Thanks for a great product!
Good app!

Pretty good app. :) The only thing is that it's the - not the + button for the shutter. :) But! Hey! It's external.
Waste of $ (update #2)

After many emails being sent back and forth between myself and Mike Hardaker, the creator of 6x6, he was able to troubleshoot the issue I was experiencing with 6x6 crashing at startup. His patience and great customer service made me wish all app developers were as awesome as he was in working with me. The app works great, I love the true square format, and it's a breeze to use. Thank you Mike!!!
Hip to be square

This is the go to app for square pics not covered in filters. Fast, and the grid and level are helpful in taking better pics. Grunge it up later with Snapseed or the like if that's your thing. This and 6x7 are my camera apps of choice now.
One of my favorite apps

This app creates crisp clear images and is of course SQUARE. would be 5 stars if did not receive write errors when taking multiple pictures at a time.
Good, Could be Great

I really love SQUARE photos, particularly for use with INSTAGRAM. (most of my Instagram images @douglasgottlieb are taken with this app). It has a clean, easy interface, great exposure and focus controls and nice amenities, like custom grids and mono option. The PROBLEM with the app is that it cannot shoot a large series of images rapidly. Doing so causes the app to continue to shoot, and only a minute or two later are you alerted that it failed to save. That's a big issue. It doesn't alert you of the problem right away -- so you lose your shots. In spite of this serious flaw, I still find that the other benefits of the app keep me coming back to it, particularly when I'm shooting slowly, and carefully. If it could better handle rapid shooting (and offered a front facing option for self portaits), this would be the only camera I'd use. As it is, I still use the Apple camera and other rapid fire apps when capturing fast. I hope a future update addresses the image buffer problem. Then it will be a 5 star app.
