iPhone 7 Accessories for Photography

Just purchased a refurbished iPhone 7 and, having rarely before utilized cellphone photography, I'm curious as to what, if any, accessories might be helpful in maximizing the phone's photography potential. I'm not into selfies, but am looking for anything I can stash into my car glove compartment and carry on a whim for a hike, concert, etc. Not looking for serious photography (I have way too much other equipment for that--just ask my spouse), but something for fun and spontaneity.

I bought a set of three clip-on lenses for my 5s, macro, wide angle and fisheye. $12 at of all places Michaels. Like you said it won’t do anything resembling serious photography but for the money, I’ve had a little fun with them.

Which brand did you get? There seem to be countless options.

There is an app called ProCam that is pretty handy to have on the IPhone. It allows you to go manual on ISO and shutter speed. I don’t use it often. But it is a nice feature to have when you want to overide the phone settings in low light.

It actually allows you to change more than ISO and shutter speed. You can shoot RAW as well. Here is a screen shot showing the main settings page. I have the 7plus so the one lens icon is for switching between the two lenses.

When doing a general Safari search for Pro Cam, I was sent to a page entitled "App Store Preview" which described an app called "Pro Cam 6". When I went to the App Store and searched for "Pro Cam" and "Pro Cam 6", the search revealed no results.

Anybody know what is happening here? Why didn't it show up in the App Store?
