Description

Obscura 4 is a camera app packed full of features to help you take incredible photos. Obscura pairs a stunning design with intuitive controls that make taking photos a delight.


Over its 8 years on the App Store, Obscura has been much numerous times around the world, including as Editors’ Choice and App of the Day.


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).

Capture images in multiple different aspect ratios, or filters live in camera for a wide variety of styles.


Camera Settings
Obscura gives you control over exposure, focus, white balance, ISO, shutter speed, and flash, with intuitive controls that make you feel in control of your device’s camera.


View Options

Obscura lets you display a grid, a spirit level, a histogram, focus peaking, a focus loupe, and exposure clipping highlights to help you understand every detail of what you’re shooting.


Photo Library

Obscura has its own interface for browsing, rating, editing, and sharing images, but it’s fully integrated with your system photo library, so images captured with Obscura are available everywhere.


Obscura Ultra

Obscura is free to use, with an annual subscription for premium features. See http://obscura.camera/ultra for full details.


I hope you love using Obscura as much as I’ve loved designing and building it. If you do, please consider subscribing to Ultra, leaving a review, or just sharing with a friend.

All the best,
Ben

My favorite camera app

If you want full control over your files and camera operation, then this is the way the go. Sure, there are other options out there and the native camera app is also a thing. None of them feel the way Obscura does though. It's pretty (personalizable!), functional (easy or complex, you choose) and all round the best camera app for your iPhone.

Not an improvement

I prefer the previous version. It had a convincing if unusual user interface, with tapping twice or three times making focusing and light metering a breeze. This version is unwieldy and the 2 and 3 tap shortcut is gone. I’d request a refund if that were possible.

Developer Response ,

Hey, thanks for the feedback! The double and triple tap gestures on the viewfinder are still available in Obscura 3, check Obscura's Settings, Camera Controls, Viewfinder Tap Actions to customise!

Geen hulp

Slechte app en krijg geen antwoord op vragen via e-mail . Echt spijt van de 9,99 die ik betaald heb. Ronduit belachelijk dat je niet kunt testen . Ik wil mijn geld terug !

Developer Response ,

Sorry voor de vertraging om contact met je op te nemen, ik heb vorige week mijn eerste vakantie in meer dan twee jaar genomen! Ik hoop dat je overweegt om je review bij te werken! ---- Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I just took my first vacation in over two years last week! I hope you'll consider updating your review!
