One feature I’d really like to see added is the ability to invert imported depth maps. There seems to be a discrepancy between how imported depth maps are interpreted versus how the app shows its own camera-generated depth maps. While imported maps appear visually correct (white = near, black = far), they behave in the opposite way when applied. Correcting this issue and also adding an option to invert them could be very helpful for working with imported depth maps that aren’t behaving as expected. **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! Great point about needing to invert depth maps! I will add this in the next update. Thanks! James ### 2/5 — Help please James! *2025-04-04* I’ve been with you from the beginning and have most all your great apps thank you. I’d very much like to edit in this app without using a painterly app. But your editor does not work as intended. It draws black/gray/white lines of different sizes, regardless of setting - against the green shaded depth map. 😵‍💫 Then, hitting the little eye icon makes it one level more confusing, and doesn’t appear to work. Sometimes the soft/hard brush setting is available, and sometimes not. The color sampler doesn’t appear to work. I’ve spent two days and four hours of trying different permutations. (and like to think I’m the better pic of the litter). [Checking out your newer AI app!] Kindly help, please! 🙏 Thank you! **Developer response:** Thank you for the review and feedback! I'm exploring a better depth editor. You can also import a depth map. That way you can create the depth map with any app like Photoshop, and import it. Thanks for being a long time app user! I really appreciate the support! ### 3/5 — What is the mission of this app. *2024-06-12* What is depth cam trying to accomplish next to what the app says it does. Editing photo’s depth data is a hard task given the tools we have to choose from. Photos don’t generate functional depth maps. Painting in app is harder to do then simply painting in a photo editor. Maybe there is something I’m missing. A lot of work went into making this app. I appreciate that it is reaching for something but what? I purchased it because I was hoping to creat more realistic depth maps. I am wondering what the developers mission is here? Maybe something completely different. As it stands it’s not doing one thing thoroughly enough. ### 3/5 — Useful tool but needs table stakes features *2024-06-07* No way to swipe between images and no RGBD export. Add those two and it would be amazing. ### 4/5 — タイマー機能が欲しい *2023-05-17* 両手が塞がった状態でシャッターが押せるように タイマー機能が欲しいです。 ### 4/5 — Love it but ... *2020-05-08* Used it a lot on iPhone but can not use it anymore on an iPad Pro. The lidar is not accepted and app crash every time. Will wait for update but recommended on iPhone. ### 4/5 — Potential but crashing *2020-04-29* Potentially amazing but seems to crash when I'm trying the edit the depth layer - which is why I brought it (I have a very new ipad pro ios 13.3.1) ### 4/5 — DEVELOPER(S) PLEASE READ AND RESPOND *2020-03-01, version 4.0* Ok,so I have an iPad mini 4, it cannot take portrait mode photos which is fine because this app actually can( but it only has two layers and I’m flat(don’t worry if your device can take portrait mode photos in the camera app your photos WILL REALY LOOK 3D!!!) anyway I’m not complaining about that even if your device doesn’t have a camera they have 3d sample photos. But here’s what I’m complaining about 1. Hockey sticks most of the time the app finds the body but when I’m trying to take a picture of my brother when he’s at hokey it finds the body and not the hockey stick , and I know you can edit it and that brings me to my second problem 2. When you try to edit the photo 90% of the tame the app crashes even if it doesn’t crash if you tap on done 98% of the time it crashes.So developer(s) PLEASE FIX THE CRASHING OR THIS APPS ONE STAR but really if you have an iPad mini and you want to take a REAL portrait mode photo this app is GREAT FOR YOU I mean when you go to edit the photo it actually has portrait mode photo effects!!!BUT PLEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSEEEEEE FIX THE CRASHING PLEASE😔😔😔😔🙂🙃🙃🙃🙃and this apps five stars and I will tell every person I know to download this app.Thanks! ### 2/5 — NEEDS A LOT OF WORK *2020-02-15* There is no way to get anything done. It crashes, just closes while in the middle of something. I’ve had this app for 2 years it does some great 3D effects but if it is VERY UNSTABLE. One day it works another it doesn’t ### 1/5 — It Doesn’t work anymore *2019-07-10* iPhone 8 Plus IOS 12.3.2 You open the app and it won’t function . When trying to open a photo the app just crashes . It used to work beautifully enough for my needs but now it’s just non functional . I’ve tried deleting and reloading . What else is there . I seriously dislike paying cash for an app only for it to stop working .. **Developer response:** Sorry you're having trouble with DepthCam! Please contact us at support@brainfevermedia.com so we can help! ### 1/5 — Money waste *2019-05-28* Need a refund ### 1/5 — Useless on iPhone 6 *2019-05-10, version 2.9* The app says it can be used on iPhone 6 put you can’t upload the 3D file from an iPhone 6 so it’s useless. Angry I spent money on this app! ### 2/5 — 3D is always distorted *2019-05-07* The 3D image created always looks very distorted. This is using the camera to take a portrait app OR bringing in a regular image and creating your own depth map. The end result really looks awful unfortunately. **Developer response:** Please contact us at support@brainfevermedia.com and we would love to help with this. There are ways to adjust the level of 3D displacement. Let us know what you're trying to do. ### 1/5 — Awful depth camera, expensive and useless *2019-04-30* Waste of money, don’t buy. Do not expect to shot with this app and post 3D photos to FB, so far all tests I’ve done none of the 3D images are good as the native camera of the iPhone, the tool to create depth map is also useless. - All you can do with this app is to import your own image and depth map (not done with this app) and merge them to be posted on FB, but there are plenty of ways to do it for free. As I said, it’s a waste of money, I’m applying for a refund. ### 1/5 — Le falta *2019-04-30* Resuelve con mucho problema la profundidad, la edición para hacerla manual no es acertada y en pocas ocasiones la imagen tiene una excelente calidad pero es casi remota... ### 1/5 — Unimpressed *2019-04-24* So far I’ve been unable to do anything with the app. According to the information provided it should work with my iPad. I’m running the latest version of iOS and so far every time (well into double figures) I’ve tried to do anything with the app it has crashed. Not a good use of money or time and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. **Developer response:** Sorry for the issues you're experiencing. Email us at support@brainfevermedia.com and we can help figure out what's happening. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your Money! 👎🏽 *2021-12-08, version 4.5* Awful export. Many bugs. Incompatibility of application features with its ads. I wasted $ 5 really. ‌ I do not recommend at all. ### 1/5 — Always crashing *2021-01-18* It is impossible to take depth map with this app. It crashes everytime I want to take a photo. ### 1/5 — Crash and burn *2019-11-19* App keeps crashing on me. Feeling burned out of the cost for an app that won’t stay open... #iPhoneXS ### 1/5 — Not work on iPhone 7 *2019-11-19* This app will NOT create Facebook 3D photos on an iPhone 7 that just has one camera. The description says it will, but it will not. Waste of money unless you have a iPhone with 2 or 3 front cameras!!! **Developer response:** I'm sorry for the confusion regarding Facebook's requirements. You can request a refund from the purchase receipt email you receive from Apple. On the receipt email, click “Report a problem” under that app or bundle you wish to get a refund on. ### 1/5 — Poor instructions *2019-10-22, version 3.1* Created facebook 3d photo but shows as nirmal photo. Seems I just wasted $4. ### 1/5 — Bug *2019-09-28* While saving photo app is getting crashed. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2019-09-26* I just bought this app. I’ve owned it for less than an hour. Is there a way to return it and get my money back? Way too buggy! Crashes all the time. **Developer response:** We just submitted an update that fixes a few bugs in our recent iO13 update. Please keep an eye out for that. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Worst app ever! *2019-08-29* DO NOT WAST YOUR MONEY! I want my money back and then I want more money for all the times you’ve wasted my time by crashing and making me lose all my work. That’s what it only does. When u about to be finish it just crashed. SMH 🤦‍♂️. ### 1/5 — Installation not possible *2019-08-07* The apps prompt a message that installation is not possible on iPhone XS. I want my money back. ### 1/5 — I want a refund *2019-08-03* This app is crap and not worth £4 please give me a refund ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2020-07-06* Easy to use, quality is awesome. I have all of the photo and editing apps. I enjoy getting apps to do things they weren’t designed to do. With the camera, depth maps, and editing apps I can create effects I’ve never seen before. Looking foreword to whatever is next. I have recommended these to others and my whole family uses them. ### 5/5 — Please add rear camera depth for iPhone 11 *2019-09-27* No more depth from the rear cameras. The front facing camera has a sensor, but it is not as useful now. **Developer response:** I just submitted an updated version for iOS13 that should fix this. Keep an eye out for the update. Thanks! Thanks for the comments! I'm looking into the possibility to save a live photo or video. ### 5/5 — Meme-making magic *2019-08-08* I’ve been trying to figure out how those 3D Facebook memes were being made when I finally stumbled upon this app. Takes a bit of learning to make things work, and I prefer to create depth maps in a different app, but results can be absolutely magical. I won’t be putting this app down anytime soon. ### 5/5 — Четка *2019-04-18* Лучшее приложение для импорта/экспорта карт глубины/матовых изображений. Встроенный редактор так себе, лучше использовать Photofox для создания/редактирования карты глубины/мат.изобр. Совет от меня, что бы новоиспеченные фото с картой глубины открывались в Focos’е, зайдите в Фото, потом Править и нажмите кнопку Портрет. ### 5/5 — Love this! *2019-04-08* Have an IPad Air2. This allows me to make and edit Facebook 3D photos. Really quite powerful! Love it! ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2019-01-18* Great app and great developer! I contacted developer and he responded right back with the info I needed. ### 5/5 — awesomeness *2018-11-11* painting depth tools need improvement. i.e. needs a height slider for painting at a fixed different layers of depth instead of opacity. it would be great if the slider only used 4 known colors (close, foreground, midground, background) and had a “blur current color depth with closer/further/both” a stamp-3D-plane-to-depth to start would also be cool. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! I'm looking into improving the brush tool for creating depth. ### 5/5 — 效果很好 *2018-08-10* 上面那些评论都是外行话^_^ ### 5/5 — 今回のアプデで素晴らしいものになった。 *2018-05-11* 被写体深度の分離 合成をできそうでできなかったことを、メールで送ったらすぐに対処され、解決しました。 ### 5/5 — 哎 *2018-05-04* 是不是只兼容苹果10的人像识别呢。表示我这手机硬伤呢 3d效果完全体现不出来呢 人体描边有什么好玩的 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
