The best camera is the one you have with you. But what if that camera was improved with pro features, a gorgeous interface, intuitive controls, and was always with you?

That camera is Obscura.


Camera
————————————————
Obscura is designed to make it fast and easy to capture stunning images. Whether you're shooting in portrait or landscape, the Control Wheel fits into your hand perfectly. You won't be fumbling around trying to capture a photo when you're in a hurry – everything is accessible with one thumb. Finely tuned haptic feedback gives the devices a sense of physicality, so you can feel every adjustment.

Format
————
You can shoot in a wide range of formats:

• RAW - capture more details and allow for a greater amount of flexibility when editing.

• HEIC - a new image format that uses advanced compression for high quality files at smaller sizes.

• JPEG - You can never really go wrong with JPEG, can you? It just works everywhere.

• Live Photo - combine high resolution photos with video clips that bring your images to life.

• Depth - allows you to apply exciting portrait mode effects and more.


Filters
————
Obscura includes a bunch of gorgeous filters to add style to your images. 
There are 19 included filters, perfect for a wide range of scenes.

• A Sepia filter unlocked by sharing the app with friends

• A Black & White filter pack, including 8 filters. Especially good for dealing with low light and striking architecture.

• An Analogue filter pack, including 7 filters. These work great for giving a cinematic look to your images.


Other Camera Features
————
Obscura has all the features you expect in a great camera app, including:
• Flash control
• Grids
• Shutter Timer
• Spirit Level


Library
————————————————
With a single swipe you can browse your library. 
But Obscura doesn’t just have a simple image browser, it’s much more powerful than that. Here’s what you can do:

• Edit - Apply Obscura’s gorgeous filters to images you’ve just captured (or images from other, lesser camera apps). You can save the filtered image as an adjustment, or as a new copy. 

• Share - There’s a good old share sheet, so you can share with your friends, and open images in other apps.

• Copy - quickly copy an image to the clipboard, so you can share it with ease.

• Favourite - Mark an image as favourite. Simple.

• Hide - Not every image is for everyone to see. It’s cool. We get it.

• Delete - Goodbye forever little photo.

• Trash - Obscura has a neat little feature where you can add photos to a special trash album, so you can delete them all in one go. Efficient. 


Settings
————————————————
With a wide range of customisation options, Obscura works your way. You can change the effects of gestures, secondary capture formats, and even the app icon! 


Privacy
————————————————
We believe that your personal information belongs to you. Obscura doesn’t collect any information about you, so there’s nothing to share with third parties, nothing can be hacked or leaked, because we don’t have it. We think that’s best for everyone. 

The only data we see is the opt-in analytics that’s automatically collected by iOS. See more about it at apple.com/privacy


Extras
————————————————
Obscura has a Notification Center widget, which makes it quick and easy to access the app from the lock screen.

Press firmly on the app icon on your home screen to quickly jump to some of Obscura’s features.

RAW capture - requires iPhone 6S or newer
HEIC capture - requires iPhone 7 or newer

After updating It no longer works on my iPad.

I’ve been using this for some time and it was great. It said it had a update for my iPad so I updated it. It opens then goes away right away. No longer works. I have to remove it from my iPad. Just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for nothing.

Grain even at lowest iso

There should be no grain on the lowest ISO settings, yet there is, and thus I rate this a one star. Nice try guys.

Raw photo Issue

I’m writing this review to add awareness to the quality of the Raw photo’s feature after capture. The image on IPhone (11), dims to a very darker point then wanted or done in camera. If you could get on top of this problem quickly, it would help the ruining of many shots.

Beautiful but missing a couple important features for “high end” users

I’m looking for a good and ergonomic raw camera app that I can use to take wide angle images with my phone when I have a longer lens on my mirrorless, rather than switching lenses as often. I think the iPhone camera is good enough that if the scene is bright and not too high contrast a RAW image can be just about usable in some situations, at least if an extremely high quality image isn’t needed. But many of the camera apps that can shoot RAW are hard to use one handed in landscape mode. I was attracted here by the use of hardware buttons, big dials, and haptic feedback. This is a lovely camera that is fairly intuitive to use, but it’s important to know that exposure setting is only fully automatic or fully manual. it’s missing ISO and shutter priority options, meaning you cannot lock ISO or lock shutter speed while automatically determining the other based on the exposure target. I will probably have to continue to use the competing raw app that has less enjoyable controls instead, because the iPhone’s photos are already so noisy at ISO 25 I rarely want to increase the ISO and would rather shoot with a shutter delay, but I prefer not to manually set the optimal shutter speed for each shot. Call me out for being one of those dang kids who rarely shoots full manual if you want. The other thing to know, speaking of shutter delay, is the shortest option is 3 seconds, while I would prefer a delay of 1 second or even 1/2 second when it’s just to ensure a stable image when shooting at slow shutter speeds.
