App of the Day: Camera+ for iPhone

After get a bit overzealous with the iPhone 4 ’s volume buttons , Camera+ , my favorite iPhone photography app , was booted from the App Store . Thankfully it ’s back Apple ’s respectable graces , and it ’s just been update with more photo - fancify features than ever .

What is it?

Camera+ , iPhone , $ 2 . Even during its abbreviated hiatus from the world of sanctioned App Store apps , Camera+ remain my pet all - around photography app for the iPhone . Of course , it has all the pic effects you ’d require — HDR , miniaturize , polarize , color dodge , ’ 70s , toy tv camera , mahogany , and one or two dozen more — as well as a variety of presets for various scenes — cloudy , fluorescent , portrait , concert , etc . But it ’s also got some less obvious stuff for both before and after you dissipate : touch focus and exposure , white balance lock , timekeeper mode , abound mode , and plenty of borders and cropping option . It pretty much does it all . And it ’s on sale for a buck . OH , and , with its reintroduction into the region of the living , the beloved volume button - shutter button feature is gone . So do n’t update if you wanna keep that around .

Who’s it good for?

People who do n’t want to change between a bunch of different apps to get their photos face just powerful ; people who find MMS and electronic mail passable for sharing those exposure ; people who are fed up with Hipstamatic ’s veritable - to - a - break UI .

Why’s it better than alternatives?

Well , it does just about everything you could want it to , it ’s only $ 2 , and , in my estimation , it ’s capture some of overnice look effect of any iOS photograph app . The update also does some nice things under the exhaust hood , like maintaing meta data point and geographic information when you export shots to the camera roll .

How could it be even better?

This new and improved adaptation of Camera+ is perceptibly slower than the late version , which I would n’t have described as alert to commence with . Hopefully that ’ll be addressed in the next update . And with so many feature and options , it ’d be nice to be able-bodied to hold open a custom workflow that you could quickly use to photos on the running without doing all that tapping .

you’re able to grab Camera+ in the App Store for $ 2 . Scratch that ! presently on sale for $ 1
