1. Looks like a race condition for the settings button tap. Does it happen if you wait a second before pressing the settings button?
2. You can re-enable the tutorial (overlay) screens from the bottom of the settings menu.
3. On the usage/reports, I hear you. I won't give you bullshit on "standard industry practices" here, but I will say that I had to hack a well-known closed-source library to give you that opt-out from usage reporting. I really do value your privacy. (I've already requested the library developer fix it, and will try and write a blog post on how other developers can provide a kill switch, too.)
4. The default is there because many people don't like to configure apps, they just use them as-is. In that light, the default configuration is the one I felt was best for general use.
Just tried the actual functionality and it gives the machine gun sound effect, showing a counter going up to 50-60, then I release the button, the blue stripe around the button shrinks back, it adds a photo to the bottom-left area, but when I tap it, there are just 3 frames. What am I missing? Is it adaptively trimming bad frames (I am shooting in a low light conditions)?
(edit) Just tried again and this time after I release the shot button, it showed a big circle overlay with the "JPEG" in the middle that counted up to 100% and the resulting photo had the right amount frames. It didn't do that on the first try. It's either a bug ... or you are missing a helpful hint that explains what's going on :)
1. The receding circle is the capture buffer being processed. When you're tapping on the thumbnail, SnappyCam sees the start of the living photo being available and shows it. It does not, unfortunately, refresh the thumbnail list as more shots complete processing.
This is a (feature) bug and I'll work to address it.
2. The circle with percent progress is what I call "turbo rewind", where the camera is shut down so that all CPU cores can be applied to compression so that you can take back-to-back living photos quickly.
You can select the buffer "threshold" for when this kicks in under the advanced settings: look for Turbo Rewind.
