Design
Obscura squeezes a bunch of powerful features into simple controls anyone can master. The interface balances aesthetics, ergonomics, and intuitiveness. You won’t want to use anything else. Controls can be reached with one thumb, and gestures and haptics combine to create a tactile experience that lets you stay focused on your subject.

Capture Modes & Formats
Obscura captures photos, videos, Live Photos, and portraits. Photos can captured in RAW, ProRAW, HEIC, and JPEG (on supported devices, see http://obscura.camera/compatibility).

Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
Missing the manual controls of your DSLR camera? Here, you can flick through unobtrusive controls to adjust your shot’s focus, metering, white balance and shutter speed, all with satisfying haptic feedback.
Fantastica e… incompleta
Premetto che le app di fotografia le ho provate quasi tutte, Obscura 3 ha probabilmente la migliore interfaccia durante lo scatto. Non intrusiva, ovvero poco visibile mentre si inquadra il soggetto, ma anche facile da svelare quando bisogna cambiare un’impostazione. Altre app nel tentativo di nascondere l’interfaccia diventano poi criptiche de si vuole anche solo modificare l’esposizione.
E fin qui, quindi, soldi ben spesi.
Dopo lo scatto però ci sono solo dei filtri, belli ma pochi, semplici e non customizzabili, e nessun controllo su esposizione, luce, contrasto, ecc. e non dico cose esoteriche, eh?, tipo la correzione prospettiva, ma solo i fondamentali per regolare un minimo lo scatto.
Credo che per quello che costa sarebbe bello se gli sviluppatori aggiungessero andhe questo set di funzioni alla app, per non farla sembrare incompleta.
Ci sono certamente app che offrono meno di Obscura 3, ma tanto per cominciare non costano 10€ ed effettivamente non parlano di editing delle foto se offrono solo una manciata di filtri.
Comunque, per riconoscere il lavoro svolto, ho tolto solo una stella perché la app merita davvero, ma spero che qualcuno sia già al lavoro per completare questo aspetto carente della app.
Developer Response ,
Ehi, grazie per la recensione! Speriamo vivamente di aggiungere più strumenti di modifica (e molte altre funzionalità) in futuro. -- Hey, thanks for the review! We're very much hoping to add more editing tools (and many other features) in the future.
Best photography app
Best pro camera app I have used so far, using it on my iphone 8 and photos look amazing.
