No Support for Camera1
Camera1 might be a good app if it provided any guidance at all about how to use it. Maybe Its my bad, but I can’t discern just how Camera1 functions even basically to take pictures. I tried to contact Camera1 through what appeared to be a “connect” function within the app, but have never gotten a reply, or an acknowledgement of my message; should I assumed my message was either not received; or even ignored; who knows. In either case. It still look s like a cool app, something I would like to try out. But alas , I guess I’ll never know, and my $5.99 for the app will never be refunded. Too bad.
New app
Easy to navigate and well planned!
Hidden gem
Camera 1 is one of my favorite choices for shooting in black and white. It's simple and intuitive, and its images are crisp and stark. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.
This app will make you a better photographer!
This is an amazing app. It fits a fully functioning multi lens camera with a full set of filters shooting in black and white on to your phone. The design and execution is flawless. I am an avid black and white amateur photographer using film and I love the way this app helps me to pre-visualize the photo before I take it. I can’t recommend this app too highly!
An exemplary camera app
One wants a camera app to at least take good pictures and have a sensible, attractive user interface. Camera1 is all that, but “goes to 11.” Plus it gives you manual control over a number of parameters. You can simply point and shoot and get a sophisticated, artsy, filmy photo with great resolution. But with only a wee bit more attentiveness, you can tweak the focus, exposure, and contrast right on the main screen. The controls are big and hard to miss. The switch from tele to normal to wide is there, too. The UI is only two layers deep, so it’s easy to get at a variety of file types plus a great selection of aspect ratios. The virtual color filters are as true-to-analogue-life as they come. Genius. There are additional luxuries with this Porsche of iPhone camera apps. Your response time is enhanced by full-screen shutter. Icing on the cake for us control freaks is zebra-stripe exposure warnings, so you blow out your highs only if you want to. Specialized. Elegant. Inspiring.
Awesome
Have only used this for a short while but find it very good.
Delivers
This is a fine app if you prefer your iPhone photos taken in black & white. Difference like night and day. Tremendous developer support as well.
