The user interface is user-friendly and robust, offering touch to focus, pinch to zoom, swipe to review, and long press to adjust various photo settings via the photo controller.

The app boasts a multitude of options in the photo controller, including color and contrast adjustments (if supported by the hardware), silent shutter, burst mode, self-timer, stable shot, panorama mode, flash mode, white balance, exposure, grid lines, fast picture mode, HDR, and additional settings.

Furthermore, the additional settings menu offers access to advanced features such as picture and video size settings, scene modes, self-timer delay, burst mode adjustments, time lapse settings, focus modes for stills and videos, JPEG quality control, effects application, ISO settings, anti-banding options, scene detection configuration, video bitrate/vcodec/format customization, and audio settings.

Additional features of Snap Camera include the ability to preview applied effects and undo them at any time from the history menu, quick image sharing across various platforms with the share icon function, panorama creation for Android 4.0 and above users, fast picture mode for instant high-resolution photos capture, capturing still snapshots during video recording (if supported), using volume buttons for focusing or zooming in/out.

The app supports an auto torch mode for low-light video recording and advanced video settings for recording in resolutions beyond standard camera capabilities. Stable shot mode ensures photos are taken when the camera is completely steady.

The High Dynamic Range (HDR) feature enables the capture of scenes with varying light intensities by merging multiple photos taken at different exposures into one HDR image. Users can save original exposures and access an included HDR editor.

Though some features are limited to newer devices due to hardware constraints. Snap Camera developers advise users to test the trial version before purchasing the full app. For queries or concerns regarding compatibility issues or new feature suggestions refer to the dedicated discussion forum or visit their website for guidance on settings and features.

Noteworthy is that due to Android 4.4 restrictions on external storage access by apps outside designated areas that are deleted upon uninstallation. It's paramount to choose "external SD card" from the storage location dialog with caution as all data will be removed upon app uninstallation.
