Think of (Not Boring) Camera as a camera you can actually feel. The fully 3D app lets you shoot natural-looking photos in SuperRAW, import pro filters, and relive the joy of using a physical camera with delightful haptics for every dial turn.

What we love: Dialing in precision in a way that feels effortless with the manual focus loupe. Touch and hold your focal point, then adjust the giant focus wheel until the magnified image is crisp and clear.

Quick tip: Peek behind the curtain by tapping the settings icon. There you can customize your rig’s colors, import filters, and fine-tune every control. If you’re ready to go fully manual, tap the M icon to set shutter speed, ISO, and white balance yourself.

Meet the creator: Seattle-based developer Andy Allen is the creator of the Not Boring suite of apps. He spent three years developing more than 100 prototypes for this camera app. His tip for using it: “Forget perfection. Just have fun and capture life’s beautiful chaos.”
