My Favorite two iPhone Photo APPS...

I've tried a lot of the Photo Apps for my iPhones...currently using an iPhone SE...and the two that I find most useful and versatile at this time are the "ProCam 5" and "MoviePro". Both of them are extremely "feature rich" and will take a bit of time and experimentation to find and learn all of the options. ProCam 5 works for both stills and movies, while MoviePro is designed for....guess what?.....yep, movies!!

I just recently found out about ProCam 5...and I am still discovering some of the hidden options in its extensive menus. It can be configured to shoot jpegs, RAW, TIFF, HDR, time lapse, movies and more. Nearly ALL of the settings that you find on a regular DSLR are available with it...ISO, Shutter Speed, Focus, White Balance, time release, burst mode, slow shutter, 'follow mode'...and many more options are available via the busy menu. Plan on spending some time viewing...and re-viewing.... the settings to get familiar with this APP.

In addition, ProCam has a very complete editing function...all of the 'standard' parameters can be adjusted with 'sliders', that includes exposure, tint, saturation, contrast, white balance, sharpness...and there are lots of presets for things like fisheye, tilt shift, tiny planet...and lots more..! Cropping and rotating are also options...as are "before the edit" and "after the edit"...always a helpful tool to have handy.

I won't attempt to get into all of the options of MoviePro except to say that it has a comparable set of movie related settings...see the Developers Notes with an App Search for ALL the details.

I really like the basic Camera that comes with the iPhone, it's easy to use, has a nice user interface, etc....but if you are looking for something that has a LOT more versatility, then have a look at these two apps. By the way, both of these are "Pay Apps"...but only $6 each...treat yourself!!

NO...I have no financial connection with either of these APPS.....just my recommendation....YMMV..Your Mileage May Vary... Feel free to suggest YOUR favorites, as well...

I just use the application that came with the (Android) phone and added Camera FV-5.
That's enough for me. It's not my primary system.

Adobe Lightroom Mobile's camera app is superior to the native iOS app. plus, you sync via the Cloud to your desktop.

The only photo app I have on my phone is Expodev. Once set up, it's remarkably accurate.
