I've used a number of different camera apps over the past few months now, and I've had very mixed results. I'm not going to list them all, or keep an indefinite list. I'll just update based on what other people use, and recent builds that work or don't work well for this phone.
The camera quality can actually be really good, considering it wasn't even really a selling point during the campaign. They just need better software to maximize the capabilities of it.
Currently my daily use camera app is:
Everything seems to work very well on this build. I have everything set to default except a few Advanced settings. I enabled 'HDR+ Enhanced for Portrait', 'Disable zoom in portrait mode', and 'Auto-exposure in the Portrait mode'.
Previously I was using:
That was previously working very well for me, but when I changed over to the next build (after final test), the rear camera was broken. Front-facing cam was fine, but I just had a black screen for the rear camera. So instead of changing back to the 'Final-Test' version, I decided to try out the one I have listed as my current cam.
Please feel free to share what you use, your settings, and you thoughts on the different apps. Whether it's a Google Cam mod, or if it's something from the Play Store. I honestly haven't tried any from the Play Store on this yet. I've only used stock, and the Google Cam ports.
