Camera+

Doesn't enhance the lens quality at all. Just a mini photoshop app to enhance an image after it was taken.Very disappointed.

Great app, but maybe some better professionalism with the wording in your updates.

This is just an amazing photo editing app!! A must have!! If u taking pictures all the time and sharing them! It's easy To edit every pictures from your finger tips!!! A must have!!!!

My favorite camera app.

iPod Touch peeps should be aware that the camera lens on iPod Touch is fixed-focus and cannot take advantage of the focus function in this app. Cute app, but one star for not mentioning this isolated difference between the hardware on iPod Touch and iPhone.

If it had a video cam feature (similar to stock) I'd be a great replacement unfortunately it doesn't. Also, the editing portion is just blah.

There are so many good reviews for this being in the top 5 and all, and it took me a long time to decide to get it..... Only to be disappointed. Many other photo apps offer more creative and quality results than this, and for FREE. Examples: Pixlromatic, qbro, Instagram!

This continues to be a phenomenal camera app. FINALLY, VolumeSnap is there! Can I rate it 6 stars now?

Whoopee got the shutter volume button control back!!!!!

nice app but choose your words.., im sure you aren't paid to say that., grow up skeezz.

I love the separate exposure and focus functionality. It's one of those "doh" features that you never think of but makes total sense when available to you. As far as the teased volume button as the shutter, the reason it is not in the app is because Apple doesn't allow remapping of the volume keys. Leave apple feedback if you would like to see this feature in the future. Until Apple agrees to it, it can't happen. I would love to see video brought into this app, now that would be amazing!

A really great camera app with editing features such as adjusting picture brightness (digital flash, auto, backlit and darkening), rotating your picture, cropping, picture effects, borders and setting focus and white balance using two fingers. The best thing is the user interface is very intuitive, making it easy for nobbs like me to take quality pictures using the advanced features of Camera+. Works very well on the iPhone 3GS.

I have about 50 different camera and effects apps, and this is the one app I use over and over again. Its fast, easy to use, let's you make some quick cosmetic changes and create some distinctive pics.

Really great app, but please add a "real" (not a filter) HDR function for iPhone 4 (this is the only reason I still use the built-in camera), and a "Whole-screen" shutter (to take self-portrait pictures with the back camera)... It would be great! Awesome app!

I had previously rated this app 2 stars because it essentially wasn't working. I failed to remember that I was running a beta version of the OS; the problem was more my fault than the developer. They never contacted me in my various attempts to beg them for help - however, they were fairly prompt to release 1.2.1 with the fix. All that aside, the app is absolutely awesome. It quickly and easily replaced Camera.app for me as my main picture taking app. I would recommend it to anyone that takes a lot of pictures with their iPhone.

Its been great for quick and burst shots. I like having some decent effects in the lot, but i hate the "reel ya in tactics" of in app purchases. Get a great app for 0.99 and then have to spend more $$ to get any use out of it. All in all though it seems to be a great quick snapshot app with some facy filters to make your pics look different. A few issues I encountered: 1) Any photo (even from camera roll) that has the flash used (even the flashlight mode) seems to hang the lightbox and cause a spinning wait wheel. Delete that photo from lightbox, issue resolves until new flash pic is loaded. 2) I dunno if its the app or the iphone camera, but zoomed in photos are fuzzy as heck, even after applying the focus tap. I'll have to play with that more. 3) HDR IS NOT A FILTER! Its a mode of shooting and Camera+ doesn't have that mode even though its built into the default camera app. Hope it is coming.

expecting me pay more for filters after purchasing the app, WTF.

I'm not happy with this app so far the filters and effects are horrible. There is no control with the out put of final image. The borders in this app are lifeless. I use hipstamatic a lot and I never feel like I'm not in control of my image, and that's a feature of that app. This app talks about total control and I feel like I have very little if any. This isn't the worst app ever but there are free apps that do everything this app does. (gorillacam, Mill Colour, and more) do not download this app untill, it gets updated. Things it needs to be the best camera out there more control in filters, effects, color. Needed to add rotation, noise reduction, white balance, tilt shift controls, sliders sliders sliders. For an app that claims to do it all it doesn't do anyone thing good enough to claim it's the best or the ultimate camera app on the planet! In conclusion - fail. Don't be bamboozled.

When you rotate the phone horizontally the button for flipping the camera and flash overlap and there are two of each. - After quitting the app this didn't happen again. Also please add a setting where when you open the app you can go right to the camera screen instead of having to select it. Thanks

I have been using this app for about two weeks with my iPhone 4 and thought it was pretty nice until I imported the photos onto my computer and noticed several issues. First the IMAGE PREVIEWS were UNAVAILABLE whether I was importing to Lightroom or iPhoto. No big deal since once imported the photos seemed to be fine but then I noticed that the DATE/TIME stamps were also WRONG. They were all showing the time/date that a photo was saved out of the Lightbox to the camera roll and not the actual date/time that the photo was shot. Since I had just kept shooting and then saved all the photos out after I returned from my trip they all had a single date, ugh! Then I got the WORST SURPRISE when after importing to iPhoto the LOCATION DATA was NON-EXISTANT! I had specifically been taking shots on a recent trip to the Olympic Peninsula with my iPhone along with my D700 so that I could capture the exact location for each shot and now I had no location data period! Bummer! I've reported the bug but in the meantime BEWARE SHOOTING WITH THIS APP IF ACCURATE TIME AND LOCATION DATA IS IMPORTANT TO YOU!

I'm glad it's back, however there are other apps that offer plenty of effects for FREE. So why pay for them?

This is pretty much a Camera Plus Pro ripoff with some aesthetic brush ups. It's half decent but taptaptap is a poor company with poor business ethics that straight up lie to potential customers by always having "introductory" pricing on their apps to lure in early adopter suckers like myself then turn around and drop the price more after just saying the price would go up. No good.

Listening to Leo Laporte on MacBreak Weekly, one of the contributors created this app. I am used to using Camera Genius and then editing it in Photogene. I gave Camera+ a good comparison test and found it coming up short. Yes, previously I was using two apps and now I just used just Camera+. Camera+ was found lacking in three ways: the image stabilization was inferior to Camera Genius. Close examination of shots using both apps found Camera Genius consistently gave better (sharper) results (without zooming in). Camera+ has a zooming in feature, but that's simply a digital zoom which is the same as cropping more tightly. Second, Photogene has a sharpness tool and much more control over editing with a histogram, contrast, warmth, etc. while Camera+ offered some "presets" that didn't provide any specific control. Lastly, Camera Genius saves the photos straight to Camera Roll and with Camera+ it saves it to it's own app and then you have to go into the edit feature to save it into Camera Roll. I felt saving them directly into Camera Roll with Camera Genius made sense because when I'm taking pictures, I don't want to later go back and sort through those in one specific app and find those which I want to save to Camera Roll, I just want them to go there and I can delete them later from Camera Roll. It's an okay app, but really doesn't give nearly as much control in editing as what we were led to believe. It would be a good app for $0.99 but it's certainly not worth the $2.99. I think Leo Laporte and others on Mac Break Weekly should try out their products before they push their friends' creations. I wish I could get a refund.

I had the original version that allowed you to take a picture by pressing the volume button ( because tapping the screen is DUMB APPLE!!!) and when I upgraded this feature went away. It was the main reason I bought the app in the first place now it's getting deleted. BRING THIS FEATURE BACK!!

This is awesome, simply the best camera effect I've ever seen on the iPhone. I took a picture of my girlfriend at a concert that was way too dark, no flash, and it turned it to make it look like day time. Could see everything. Amazing job Tap Tap Tap! Highly recommended app! Best there is. Just wish you could do apple's HDR.. And maybe simple video recording.

Doesn't work with iOS 4.1 :-(

And I wish you could use the volume buttons as shutters again. Do it so I can replace the standard camera.

Great photos, great interface, but why doesn't keep the GPS data? I want to use it with aperture, but, when you open aperture and use the "Importe GPS from iPhone Photos" nothing apears there :(

Don't know what's with the bad reviews, it's never crashed once for me. My guess is if you have a jailbroken device, it won't work. This app features an awesome light focus effect, which I haven't seen in any other camera app. This app has neat Stabilizer, Timer, and Burst modes. Not to mention the effects and crops to edit your pics. The extra effects package is definitely worth the dollar, and I hope to see more in the future. I could not be more happy with this app.

Camera+ is basically two apps in one: a camera app and a photo effects "lightbox" app. I'm only reviewing the camera half of the app. With this latest 2.1 update, Camera+ became my go-to iPhone camera because it does two things, and it does them remarkably well. #1: Camera+ has a brilliant design for Tap To Focus and Tap For Exposure. Touch the screen with one finger to choose a Focus/Exposure point. Touch the screen with two fingers if you want to choose separate focus and exposure points. Simple. Brilliantly designed. And it works remarkably well. #2: Camera+ stays the heck out of my way when I'm shooting. The camera half of the app has lots of features such as anti-shake, a timer and burst mode, but they're neatly tucked away rather than cluttering the screen or shooting-button bar. The better you are with a camera, the more you'll appreciate the simple interface of Camera+. Like I said, it can do a lot, but it stays out of your way. Here's the small change in version 2.1 that made this my go-to app: AutoSave To Camera Roll! If I take a photo, I want it saved in the camera roll where it belongs. Camera+ finally added an option for this. I'm very glad they did.

the developers try to take the app one step further than most camera apps by including filters found in separate programs. kudos for that. along with the usual features like timers, zooms and aiming grids to help you take decent shots. but the goofy UI pretty much ruins it for me. the app is slow to start up and requires a tap after starting just to be able to shoot pics. the "back of camera" (why? this isn't a 35mm camera, stop pretending it is, it's a phone!) interface looks pretty but who wants to navigate around a small box of menu choices with the 80% of the screen wasted space? this app also does not save photos taken directly to the photo gallery but saves them in a "lightbox" forcing you to go through yet more steps to export them. the tap zones are very small and the whole thing is slow, slow, slow. taking and saving photo is very slow on my 4G, especially compared to the built-in camera app. easier to take multiple shots with the built in app and edit them in here, or one of the many other editing programs that run faster. there are plenty of special effects, built in editing, and it will import and export photos from the library so you can edit them, at full resolution. if you already own a camera app, and a photo editing app, you can safely skip this one. if you don't have apps that you like, or are looking for an all-in-one icon, you might try this app out. the goofy UI is a bit of a turnoff though, for me. needs a complete redesign in my opinion. 2 stars, being generous.

You still have to buy more things inside the program like filters and stuff. Be warned. This is not explained in the original sales pitch.

I have to buy the effects that come standard with Instagram? Awesome. Any way to remove that stupid analog section since it's basically a worthless in app ad?

The update removes the vol. button camera actuator. They fail to mention that in their NEW UPDATE!!!! GARBAGE!!!

I want to love this app, but I end up not using it at all because it's annoying, and that's money wasted. If you're looking for a camera app, ProCamera is much better. If you're looking for a photo editing app, FX Photo Studio is much better (and with its Favorites and Presets, it's going to keep getting better and better). Camera+ is basically two apps in one. It's a Camera app and a photo editing app. Even with its flaws, I'd easily rate the camera half of the app 4 or possibly 5 stars IF IT SAVED PHOTOS TO THE CAMERA ROLL WHERE THEY BELONG. It doesn't. So, you're going to have to constantly keep going into the stupid Camera+ lightbox and transferring the pics you took to the camera roll if you want to transfer them to your computer. Talk about a stupid workflow. It's even more stupid when you realize that you can transfer photos from the camera roll to the lightbox if you want to edit photos you took with another app. Why not just save everything in the camera roll the way most other camera apps do? If every camera app saved photos to its own lightbox, shooting with an iphone would get pretty annoying. Consider Hipstamatic, for example. Take a photo: it's saved in your camera roll. Or ProCamera. Take a photo: it's saved in your camera roll. Or the Vint BW app. Or the ToyCamera app. Take a photo and it's saved in the camera roll where it belongs. But, for whatever reason, Camera+ insists on adding an extra step. Photos are saved to a lightbox in the app. To transfer them to your computer, you have to first transfer them to the camera roll where they should have been saved in the first place. Apps are developed this way because some app developers think their app is the most important thing ever made and so it must have its own system for everything instead of doing things the way users already do them. Boo for poor developers. I gave this app 2 stars, but the second star is pure charity. I spent money for an app I don't use. Money wasted should be a 1 star review. EDIT: I changed my review to one star because they're now adding in-app purchases for effects. Previously, more effects were free with app updates. I think they should get the app right before figuring out how to get more of my money via in-app purchases. That being said, there's plenty to like in Camera+. Tap for separate focus and exposure is particularly well implemented. Tap with one finger to pick a focal point for focus and exposure. Easy! Tap with two fingers to choose separate focal and exposure points (or, tap and hold one finger for your focal point and then tap a second finger for your exposure point). Do it once and you'll realize how easy and convenient it is. The editing half of this app os OK, but there are so many better options. I don't mean that as an insult to Camera+. It's just that this app is trying to be two apps at once and it doesn't excel at either. Honestly, the bottom line is this: if you want to take great photos with your iPhone, you're better off buying a better camera app. ProCamera, for example (but there are others). If you want to edit photos on your iPhone, you're better off buying a better editing app. Or downloading one of the free ones. If I used Camera+, I'd rate it higher, but the annoyances that come even with V2 of this app bug me to the point where I end up using other apps instead. And that's money wasted.
